Show more1983_0628 ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 1 ---------- Olympia responds Faculty receive salary hike By PEGGY LOETTERLE Western's Board of Trustees, in a special meeting on June 20, adopted a plan to increase the salaries of Western's full-time facultymembers by 4 to 10 percent beginning June 30. It is the first salary increase in 18 months. Inaddition, the Legislature has appropriated nearly $1.9 million to bring Western salaries closer to salarylevels at Eastern Washington University. Those increases f probably will start in September, said Paul Ford, provost and vice president for academic affairs. "The Legislature expects us to raise salaries tothat equal at Eastern. We have to figure out how much more money to give for raises in September,"Ford said. Gerson Miller, chairman of the faculty welfare and salary committee, said the committeehas recommended that the additional money be distributed on an equal basis on September 15.Faculty members at Eastern currently receive an average WESTERN FRONT Western WashingtonUniversity, Bellingham, Wash. Tuesday, June 28, 1983 Vol. 75, No. 35 salary of about $30,700, whileWestern's average salary is about $28,740, Ford said. "Even after the 7 percent increase in June, faculty still will receive about $1,500 a year less," he said. Milton Kreiger, head of the American F e d e r a t io n of Teachers at Western, said the across-the-board increase won't be fair to all staff members. "It ismy impression that the people at the higher levels will come out a lot better than people at the lowerlevels. The AFT will look at the salary schedule as a major issue next year," he said. The Juneincreases will be allocated several ways. About 317 faculty members will receive a step in payâ€”anaverage 3 percent increaseâ€”as well as a 4 percent cost-of-living increase. Sixty-four faculty membersalso qualify for a merit increase of 4 percent, bringing the total possible increases to 10 percent. Merit increases are awarded for service above and beyond that required for ordinary step increases and arebased on evaluations of teaching, scholarship and service. Eighty-seven faculty members will receiveonly the 4 percent cost-of-living increase because they didn't want to undergo a review for a salaryincrease, Ford said. Distribution of the $1.9 million will increase salaries by 4 to 6 percent more, Fordsaid. A plan for allocation of the money should be ready by the fall meeting of the trustees. WesternPresident G. Robert Ross said the increases apparently are the result of Western's arguments to theLegislature about the inequality of funding among state universities. Ross said, in a previous interview,that Western students and faculty had been shortchanged in state appropriated funds. Western'sstudent services and, physical plant operations didn't fare as well as faculty in thisyear's legislativesession, however, and will fall one million dollars short on money, Ford said. Don Cole, vice president for business and financial affairs, is working on plans to reduce the effects of the cut, Ford said. Cost-saving idea wins top award By CAROLYN CASEY and VICKISIGGS Although she initially was. facedwith reluctance, Dorothea Kochajda waited six years to prove her method of floor care could saveWestern's maintenance staff both time and money. This month her persistance paid off, winning a$10,000 award for Western and reducing costs by nearly $80,000 a year. Kochajda, building servicessupervisor, developed a revolutionary natural-finish floor care technique that eliminates the need for the costly and dreary jobs of waxing, stripping and sealing Western's 80,000 square feet of resilient tileflooring. The mood of the management six years ago was in favor of staying with traditional floor care,which meant waxing, stripping and sealing of resilient floors, so Kochajda's suggestion was ignored, said Bob Hascall, physical plant director. Last year, when Hascall started work, Kochajda brought her floor technique to his attention, he said. "I was so intrigued by the concept that I wanted to start trying ithere immediately." Her method eliminates past floor care and replaces it with a three-part buffing andburnishing technique. A progression of stripping, scrubbing and buffing pads is used in conjunction witha 330-rpm buffer. Heat from the friction seals the floor surface, producing a hardened and highlypolished surface that never again needs a sealer or a wax to maintain its appearance, Hascall said.Kochajda said she sees this method as a morale booster for the custodians because they won't have tostrip floors again. "Stripping floors was our worst job," she said. Western President G. Robert Ross flew to New Orleans earlier this month to receive the $10,000 national award given by the NationalAssociation of College and University Business Officers and the United States Steel Foundation. "That's not the first idea that Dorothea has come up with for cost savings. Her contributions personally andtechnically have been very valuable to the university," Hascall said. Western's custodians beganusing the new technique last October, Hascall said. "The results were remarkable." He said the yearlysavings will be used to restore some services that were eliminated by budget cuts. The award moneyprobably will be used to start a fund rewarding Western's employees for innovative cost-savingtechniques, he said. Since Western won the award,, several universities expressed an interest inlearning the new technique. Kochajda went to the University of Washington to teach them themethod they now use on their floors. The process has been copyrighted by Western and furtherinquiries should go to the physical plant.

Peter Elich, formerpsychology department chairman, was selected from a pool of 11 candidates. He will assume theposition Friday. Tall and muscular, Elich looks as if he coaches football, which he did at BellinghamHigh School. "He is a highly regarded faculty member and statesman, who will provide strong leadershipfor the College of Arts and Sciences during this transitional period," said Executive Vice President and Provost James Talbot. Elich will serve as acting dean' for one year. The College of Arts andSciences has 22 departments and employs two-thirds of Western's faculty. It is the hub of theuniversity. "One year on the job is too short a time to show your performance," Elich said, "but thenthe School of Education, the School of Business and Economics and the School of Fine andPerforming Arts all have acting deans, too." He said he will make no changes in the college right away."Certainly no radical changes in the structure of the organization that might make things difficult for apermanent dean, although I must administer the College as though I were permanent." Elich said hesees his duties as dean are to provide effective management of financial resources, to participate indecisions for personnel, such as promotions and tenure, to provide leadership wherever possible, andmost important, to ensure that West- Marshy Elich named new heads of colleges Peter Elich, newlyappointed acting dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. era maintains a solid liberal arts core. "Theleast appealing part of administration to me is the clerical work. Nevertheless, it is a highly importantaspect of administering. The part I like best is working with people as a facilitator â€” creatingconditions so(' that people can develop their competency," Elich explained. Elich will replace JamesDavis,, who announced in April his. resignation as dean after nine years at the post. This fall Davis willinstruct political science. Elich has been at Western since â€¢ 1961 and was first named chairman ofWestern's psychology department in 1972. He is a graduate of the University of Washington, earned a master's degree from Western in 1959 and a Ph.D. in psychology from the University of Oregon in1961. Before West-em, he taught at Whatcom Junior High School and Bellingham High School. He is anative of Bellingham. By DEANNA SHAW David Marsh, of the art department, has been namedacting dean of the College of Fine and Performing Arts for the 1983- 84 academic year. He willreplace William Gregory, who has accepted a Ful-bright award to teach and conduct research at the National Institute of the Arts in Taipei, Taiwan. The appointment, effective Sept. 1, was announced byJames Talbot, Western's executive vice president and provost. "David Marsh is a veteranadministratorwho demonstrated g success while serving as art iS department chairman in the Q 1970s,"Talbot said. "He is a well S known artist with a national and c international reputation." is Marsh joinedWestern's art Â£ faculty in 1957 after teaching in ja-junior and senior high schools in o Washington andCalifornia. He jÂ§ served as an art department i (X chairman from 1966 to 1974 and again during the1980-81 academic year. Marsh said he plans to continue work toward one of Gregory's majorgoalsâ€”better communications between the three departments of the college: art, music andtheater/dance. A number of measures already have been adopted to strengthen interdepartmentalrelations, including the formation of a faculty advisory committee composed of five members from thethree departments, more frequent executive committee meetings and quarterly faculty meetings,he said. Marsh said he is enthusiastic about the future of the college, which currently has 500 to 600majors and 36 full-time faculty members. He said he thinks a trend toward an interest in the arts isbeginning, noting this is traditionally the pattern after a concentrated interest in the sciences.Gregory said although the college's growth has been curtailed because of the limited number offaculty, its graduates are in demand and job placement has been excellent. More than 90 percent ofmusic education majors have been placed. Art and theater/dance graduates also have fared well andGregory expressed surprise at the high percentage of these graduates who are now employed intheir major field or a related area. Both Marsh and Gregory said they are pleased with Western's newbudget. Although individual departmental budgets have yet to be decided, Marsh said he thinks that, with the overall budget set for the next two years by the Legislature, some sensible planning can takeplace. "This is the most stability we've had since the early '70s," he said. Marsh predicted that his newduties will restrict his time to produce art. Marsh's watercolors and other works have been exhibitednationwide and are in a number of public and private collections, including those of WestminsterCollege in Fulton, Missouri and the Instituto Mexicano-Norte Americano in Guadalajara, Mexico. Marshhas a bachelor's degree from Central Washington State College and a master's degree from theUniversity of Oregon. Bookstore remodelling next week By DAN RAMSAY The Student CooperativeBookstore is getting a facelift this summer and the confusing lines and inefficient use of space will soonbe things of the past.

Most of the work will becosmetic, Elliott said, with new lighting, new carpets and additional display space being added to help upgrade the facility. In addition to the new lights and carpets, the Post Office will be relocated to thearea that is now the entrance and the entrance will be moved to the front-center of the building. Also,mechanical improvements and the installation of floor and ceiling tiles will be part of the remodel, Elliot said. The cost of the project was estimated to be about $300,000 before the bidding was opened onMarch 21. Much to the suprise of Elliott and the Associated Students, who had approved thespending, all seven bids submitted were below that amount.

Construction is scheduled to begin on July 5 and be completed on or beforeSeptember 7. When completed, the renovated bookstore will have 20 percent more selling spaceand a more efficient cash register setup, Elliott said. Complaints from students who are forced to wait in one line to buy books and then wait in another line to buy general merchandise are sure todecrease, he said. The new set-up will allow for buying books and general merchandise at oneregister. With the warm weather and decreased enrollment, construction will move swiftly, Elliott said. A three week closure at the end of the nine-week session, which is the usual summer schedule, willsee the finishing touches completed in time for the fall rush. Bookstore hours will remain the same upto that point. ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 3 ---------- Western Front 3 Tuesday, June 28,1983 Huxley grad program may be offered winter By MARGARETCARLSON Huxley College of Environmental Studies will offer a graduate program, beginning the winter of 1984, if Western's Board of Trustees approves the recommendation by the Council for Post-secondary Education. Earlier this month, the CPE approved the program that has been in planningstages since 1980. Huxley Dean Richard Mayer said if the board accepts the plan, the graduate program will be offered winter quarter. - The graduate program would offer a master of science degree inenvironmental science to anyone with a bachelor's degree in one of the sciences and an interest in theenvironment, Mayer said. He said the master's program is "the most exciting development in Huxleysince it began in 1968." Mayer said the program is the first of its kind in the state. Although graduateprograms in environmental science are offered by other institutions in this region, the Huxley program isunparalleled. Students will have a choice of three areas of concentration: wildlife toxicology, ecosystemprocesses and environmental chemistry, a cooperative program between Huxley and Western'schemistry department. Each student must take a minimum of 45 credits, including a thesis. No othercollege or university in Washington offers a specialized graduate program emphasizing research inthe areas of Huxley's concentration. Mayer said the research students do for their thesis will linkHuxley and Western with environmental problem-solving in the region. Students will research problems such as acid rain, water-quality, the toxic effect of pesticides and development around LakeWhatcom. By conducting environmental research in our community, Mayer said he hopes to attractexternal funding from the state and federal governments, industry, private businesses7 andfoundations. Huxley's program also differs from other graduate programs in the region by requiringstudents to develop their own plan of study. Students work individually with an adviser to plan a course of study to meet their goals. Although Huxley has received about 250 letters asking about a master'sprogram, Mayer said he expects only about 12 students to enroll the first quarter and that eventuallyenrollment may be limited to 25. Alumni's parents give Western $75,000 land By DAN RAMSAYProperty vallued at approximately $75,000 was donated to Western by a Vancouver, Washington couplewhose son is a Western graduate. George and Sara Holzman donated the property, which is to be sold,with the proceeds from the sale used to maintain, improve and further Western's academic programs andactivities with special attention to biology, chemistry and their related fields. Their son, ThomasHolzman, graduated from Western in 1974 with a bachelor of science degree in biology. He went on toearn a Ph.D. in biochemistry and has just completed post-doctoral studies at Texas A M University. Hecurrently is employed by the Upjohn Corporation. George Holzman retired from Shell Oil Company in1980 after managing Shell's Anacortes refinery for about a year. He holds a Ph.D. in chemistry and wasgeneral manager of all Shell refineries during the 1970s. The property is located in Anacortes and divided into eight lots, Sara Holzman said, from her home in Vancouver last Friday. "It's not waterfront property," she said, "It's primarily a rock with beautiful views of the Canadian Rockies and the Guemes Channel." She explained that her husband dealt with Western on different occasions and he felt that theproceeds from this land would help the school. Since their son was a graduate of Western, theyespecially hoped to help the areas he studied in. "This very generous gift by the Holzmans will provide acontinuing benefit to Western and its present and future students," said Western President G. RobertRoss.

North American Indian photos now on display By DON HUDDLESTON Acollection of rare photographs by Edward S. Curtis is currently on display in the Viking UnionGallery. The photographs are from the original portfolios of Curtis' 20- volume work, "The North Ameri;(can Indian". ' Curtis, who thought the American Indian was a vanishing race, began recording allavailable information about Indian culture in 1896. He estimated the project would take ten years. Afterten years, the enormous undertaking was not only unfinished, but Cur-itis had run out of money. Thelegendary J. Pierpont Morgan stepped in and financed the iremainder of Curtis' research. By 1930 theproject was completed. Curtis had studied more than 80 tribes and taken more than 40,000 pictures.The 20-volume set collected dust for 40 years after it was published. In 1971, the Pierpont Librarypresented a major exhibition pf Curtis' work. Curtis, who died in 1952 at age 84, was finallyrecognized. Nearly all of Curtis' exposures were made on glass or copper plates. The portfolios wereprinted on a special Japanese vellum, a fine parchment made of animal skin, and are in surprisinglygood condition. The Curtis exhibit is taken from the collection of Louis Flury and Company's Edward S.Curtis Gallery in Seattle.

TheLegislature's recent injection of $1.9 million into the pocketbooks of Western's faculty will bring Westernone step closer to its goal of achieving parity with Eastern Washington University. More importantlyperhaps, faculty members will receive long-awaited raises. Administrators, faculty members and students who have spent long hours in Olympia convincing budget-weary lawmakers that Western deserves atleast equal funding among the regional universities now have seen their efforts pay off. The additionalmoney specially earmarked for Western's faculty is the direct result of Western's pitch to legislatorsabout the inequality of funding among state universities. Meanwhile, beleagured faculty memberssubsisting on salaries rapidly losing the race with inflation now have salaries that are â€” gasp, puff â€”lessening the distance. Not only do the salary boosts offer financial support, but moral and practicalencouragement as well. Legislators have recognized Western's unequal financial status by backing whatis any university's most vital resource: its faculty members. On the practical side, additional money willenable Western to attract exceptional instructors to its classrooms, as well as retain the outstandingmembers of Western's faculty. The salary increases are a good sign. At least we know that someonedown there is listening to someone u p h e r e . . . . In the meantime, however, this might be a good timefor students to ask their professors for a loan Get those cards and letters in Western's summerquarter hosts attendees from all levels of education, from freshmen through graduate students to teaching professionals come back for a few more credits of brushing up and fleshing out. Summer quarter, withabout one-third the enrollment of a traditional academic quarter, could perhaps be compared to a seminar class with the possibilities of discussion and close interaction enhanced by the smaller numbers ofstudents. A potentially valuable forum for ideas â€” easily accessible and widely read â€” is the Frontletters column. This past year, controversies ranging from the efficacy of Christianity to the fair treatmentof "air band" contestants have raged forweeks at a time, pitting students against each other with aminimum of third-party interference.

Norman, the boy's father, knew his youngest son was prone to take on outrageous endeavors, andhoped Brian's obsession with the rather conspicuous vehicle would fade like the rest of his childhoodprojects. A scarring childhood experience involving a \ grandmother and a hearse caused the boy'sstepmother to be a bit wary of the 15-foot automobile parked behind her home. Both parents agreedthe coffin containing the skeleton of the old Indian woman had to go. The back porch was no place tostore a body, they said, and the car's former passenger was left to fend . for herself at the local haunted house. It wasn't that Brian was obsessed with death; on the contrary, he looked upon thepermanent sleep with great amusement, and treated the subject accordingly. Girls reluctant toenter the "deathmobile" were reminded that they eventually would take their last ride in one anyway.People who would marvel at the notoriety of the car and question the sanity of the driver , would beacknowledged with a Gordon Weeks Editor shrug and "it gets me around." But the car wasn't meant to t r a n s p o r t chicken-hearted females or gawky passersby. The , hearse was purchased from aHalloween haunted house to amuse Brian and his friends, and if gas was in the mammoth tank,everyone from the-girl at the McDonald's drive-in window to the local baseball team would be theirvictims. The sight of a black-curtained funeral car has strange effects on people. Most conjure images of Herman Munster or Edgar Allen Poe; a youngster, figuring this rare-looking automobile was of someimportance, saluted it. Death is the Great Unknown, and everyone wants to know what has lurked (or islurking) in the back-end of the over-sized Cadillac. But a hearse is nothing but a hollow symbol of death,a post-mortality formality. It doesn't matter to most whether the car is empty or not â€” to symbol-conscious Americans, the black car represents nothing but the Big Sleep and other nasty things. Briangets a kick out of watching others becoming disjointed by his flippant attitude toward a vehicle theybelieve should be treated solemnly. Other people try to raise reactions from folks by flashing emblemsthat bring rise to other feelings. The swastika, one of the ultimate signs of evil, is bound to producesome response. The cross, a symbol of both suffering and salvation, is another rouser. Some animalshave gained connotations, including the dove (peace), the owl (knowledge), the raven (evil) and thealligator (wealth, when applied to clothing). Even colors symbolize moods and imagery: white is pure,red fiery and pink fey. So what does all this have to do with a boy and his hearse? The black car, thesymbol of death, carries lighting equipment, the making of illumination. But no one thinks, or dares, tolook beyond the curtains. Words muddle intent The halls of academia, the filings of a governmentbureaucracy, two friends in a coffee shop â€” ail use the same raw resource: words. Language is oneof the elements that turned man from a monkey with a big head into a hairless ape with small teeth.Language has been a powerful friend; yet it is capricious enough to cause great friction, too. "I mean,you know, like . . ." How many times have you heard that and mentally slapped the speaker? Afundamental and.useful skill, communication is a great responsibility. Words can be fun andeducational. They can start wars, and, ' generally, end them. Words put men on the moon and a tigerin your tank. Words can hide as well as inform. How many times do you get an illuminating flash ofTruth, but bust caps trying to get the . basics across to your neighbor? We've taken it a long way, but.basically language is hideously inefficient. You gotta make the Shaun McClurken Opinion Editor bestof what you've got. Really clever operatives can use language's shortcomings to their advantage,directing perceptions as they choose: In a simpler time, the Department of Defense was known as theDepartment of War; the nuclear industry made friends last decade by devising phrases such as"energetic disassembly" to soften the impace of such cruel realities as explosions in power plants.Guard yourself. Political, commercial and religious tracts in particular are given to verbiage with highemotional reflex and shadowy definition. Here's a sample list of words to always distrust if clarification is not forthcoming: â€¢ rights, peace, free â€¢ it, them â€¢ liberal/conservative, left/right â€¢ religion â€¢relationship â€¢ any word ending in -ism, -ize, -ist; any word or phrase originating in California or agovernment organization. Twisted people can come up with twisted speech patterns: Ron Ziegler,President Nixon's press secretary, admitted at a press conference the administration had lied at anearlier press conference with "Our previous statements are now inoperative," and President Reagan,whose administration has raised not saying what you mean to dizzying new heights, has dubbed theMX intercontinental ballistic missile â€” by design the world's deadliest weapon â€” the"Peacekeeper." He wants you to know what he wants you to think. On a more mundane, day-today level, two phrases to beware this summer are: â€¢ "Now Only (dollar amount)" â€¢ "Plus Co-hit (movietitle)." ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 5 ---------- â€¢ Western Front 5 Tuesday, June 28, 1983 Senate bill passes; tech expansion due After years ofencouragement by the state Legisla- ~ ture, Western's technology department has plans to expand thisfall by offering classes in north Seattle. Clyde Hackler, coordinator of the new program, said he isreasonably confident the program will consist of three upper-division technology courses per quarter. Theclasses may be taught at Shoreline Community College because it has the equipment needed foradvanced machine-tool technology. This class, and other upper-division courses applicable to industrialtechnology degrees, currently are not available to students in Seattle. Since 1969, the Legislature hasbeen interested in expanding technology programs at all of the state's regional universities, Hackler said.In a 1979 state Senate resolution, legislators became more interested by stating that the threeuniversities had to extend their technology programs to previously unserved areas, he said. CentralWashington University was the first to comply with the resolution after it developed an in-house funding in 1982. Classes were offered in the Tri-Cities through Central's technology department. Western, however, had problems finding resources to offer the courses. Now, due to the recently passed Senate Bill3155, funding is available to all regional universities. The funds will go primarily toward paying instructors' salaries, Hackler said. Students will be charged an extra fee to pay for classroom rental and equipmentcosts, in addition to regular tuition. Instructors probably will be chosen from the Seattle area inindustry- government and education. Hackler, who recently stepped down as Western's technologydepartment chairman, will work part-time as the coordinator of the new program and will instruct part-time on Western's Bellingham campus.

As we shared our individual riding preferences, the sky, through the tiny tavern windows, became grayer. "I think it's going to sprinkle. Oh, well," victor Madrazo, 32, said. Like the third, member of ourhappenstance riding trio, Robert Ashworth, 28, victor still was game. But the weather would shorten theride for us. Funny, in Bellingham, a lot of bike rides get sprinkled on. Oh, well. We decided to take inthe forest scenery and bayside views on Chuckanut Drive Besides being beautiful, it's only a fifteen-minute dash to Tony's Coffee House (compensation for a likely drenching) from Larabee State Park,the midpoint on our 12-mile roundtrip. As we sipped our beers, Robert suggested we ride on theInterurban Trail, which parallels Chuckanut Drive, instead of taking the roadway. "Why not the road?"Icountered. "There's a lot of crummy corners on Chuckanut. It's a lot safer on the trail," Robert explained. Victor nodded appreciatively. Five minutes after leaving the tavern, we took our first break at the lookoutabove Boulevard Park. On the dock, below us, several teenagers were fishing. Half a dozen bicycles,and a dozen people dotted the grass fields. A soupy mist made the bay look sensuous. It's no wonderthat some folks never bike further than Boulevard Park, I thought. As we continued on Boulevard to Fair-, haven, staying within the stripped bike! lajne, I asked Robert what kind of bicycling-experiences he hadhad. "A few weeks ago I rode on 1-5 to Peace Arch Park (20 miles north) and I really enjoyed it. There'sall that shoulder just for me/like on Boulevard," Robert said. I asked victor the same question. "I just ridearound town," he answered. Robert, appearing ponderous, energized the mobile conversation. "I'm kindof philosophical about bicycling. I look at those students on the (Western) track running in circles for exercise. Then, they drive everywhere else. I like to ride everywhere. It's slower, but I enjoy it. and Iwaited at the top and sucked oranges. I scanned the vegetation around us for a place to throw theorange peels and recognized the familiar Chuckanut vegetation: alders and maples, an occasionalevergreen, lots of huge ferns, and a glacial boulder, blanketed with thick, bright green moss and babyferns. My peripheral vision spotted something I hadn't expected. A horse dung. It was fresh."HorsedungTlsaidtoRgbert. TVr^BrTaqJ^m/oSop^ look at those students on the (Western) track running in circles for exercise. Then, they drive everywhere else. I like to ride everywhere. It's slower, but I enjoyit. And I get lots of exercise." And I get a lot of exercise," Robert explained. We passed up a stop at the Fairhaven district, but couldn't resist the rose garden at Fairhaven Park, which marks the beginningof Chuckanut Drive. A few hundred feet south, at the playfield, 50 persons were watching a softball game, despite the constant rain. Rain? What rain? A few hundred yards past the park is the biggest hill weencountered. Patrick Vala, in The Whatcom County Bike Book, describes the hill as moderatelydifficult, an elevation gain of 150 feet over a few. hundred yards. "Oh, that monster hill," Victor mumbled. A brisk downhill run led us to the turnoff for the Interurban Trail, California Street, a hundred feet past theChuckanut Store. The California Street hill is less than a hundred feet long, but also is very steep., victor walked his bike up the hill; Robert. "I see horses here sometimes. But mostly joggers. I don't mind that," Robert said, meaning the defecation. "It's just the dogs. They chase me. There's a few houses along the trail. The first leg of the trail was a sharp downslope. I discovered one disadvantage of bicycling on thetrail: loose gravel can throw a bicyclist if he's not careful. My companions recognized this, too. We rodeslowly, but the pace seemed to match the calm, solemn mood of the forest. Along the trail weencountered two fairytale waterfalls and several large sandstone cliffs, revealing glacial folding typical of Chuckanut rock. After an hour we stopped a mile short of Larabee Park, where we were to drop toChuckanut Drive, victor and I were ready to head back It was beginning to rain even harder. Robertreminded us of the promised views of Chuckanut Bay and the San Juan Islands.; We back-tracked, riding twice as fast as we came. Gravel flew from our tires. Damn Gravel. It would be more fun on a bicycle-motocross or mountain bike, though. It took only fifteen minutes to return to California Street. Robert ledus back to the Chuckanut Store and then veered right, a few yards past the store, onto Old SamishRoad. The final leg of the journey, the final leg before the warm coffee at Tony's, began on the south sideof the road, just past the intersection. The trailhead was a tiered, muddy set of switchbacks. We walkedour bikes up. At the top, Robert pointed out a large concrete slab that jutted from the natural landscape. "The Interurban Trail used to be the old railway. It went through to Seattle," Robert explained. The finalmile or so of the trip was different than the previous section. The path was narrower and cut throughovergrown fields dotted with apple trees (at this writing the apples were a few inches across). Weraced past the wet fields until we reached Valley Parkway where it meets 24th Street. As we began tonegotiate traffic, on the way to Tony's, Robert's mood became more somber. Those cars were intrudingagain. At Tony's the thought of crisp apples, which would be ripe early this year, floated in and out of my mind, as I sipped coffee. Images of the mist over the bay and the foothills, green forest and waterfallsand a snapshot image of dew condensed on a maple leaf all decorated my imagination. Then, Iremembered, it hadn't been raining for some time. Somewhere between California Street and Tony's ithad stopped raining and no one had bothered to mention it. ---------- Western Front - 1983 June 28 - Page 7 ---------- Western Front 7 Tuesday, June 28,1983 m The Stratton family already knew the wine-producingpotential of the land when they began growing grapes in the Nobksack Valley. The lush river valley,protected by Mount Baker and other surrounding peaks, provided the ideal growing conditions forWhatcom County's only winery. "The area has had a long history of having good ground," horticulturistJim Hildt said. "Al Stratton grew up in Everson, and he knew of the land since he was a kid. It wasalready under our noses." In 1978, Albert Stratton, following a 24-year stint as a military surgeon,began planting his vineyards with early-ripening grape varieties that would later become the first harvestof the Mount Baker Vinevards in the fall of 1982. The company's 20 acres will yield two to eight tons ofgrapes per acre, or 320 to 1,250 gallons of juice. "It's unusual for all the grapes to be grown by thewinery," Mary Taylor, assistant business manager, said. "We like to experiment with a lot of differentwines. Most people use tried-and-true methods, but not these guys." Stratum's interest in wine-makingbegan with the gift of a home winemaking kit from his family. For seven years, Stratton was thewinemaker for the Northwestern Washington Research and Extension Unit of Washington StateUniversity at Mount Vernon. He perfected his winemaking skills and became aware of the commercial potential of many unusual grape varieties from England, France, Austria and Hungary. WhatcomCounty has the same latitude as the wine regions of Germany and the Champagne areas of France.. An average of 210 frost-free k days each year is part of the 1 key to the abundant grape production. Yet the climate varies enough for the grapes , one mile west of the winery to 1 ripen a week before the crop infront of the company; the fruit will not grow two miles to the east. The harvest begins in late August andearly September. The grapes are crushed in small basket presses, the juice flows into work tanks,which â€¢ can hold up to three tons of grapes. The juice then is poured into large stainless steel tanks,yeasts are added and the fermentation process begins. The winery uses both From humble beginningsto grand endings. Grapes ripen in the misty sunlight of the Nooksack Valley. This crop won't be ready until September, but in the meantime, a visitor enjoys the fruits of previous harvests. champagneyeasts and a "Davis" yeast that was developed at the University of California. As the yeast bodiesfeast upon the sugar of the grapes, alcohol is produced as a by-product. The steel tanks, the largest2,365 gallons, are full from October to December. The wine is bottled through the winter months. thewine in stainless steel tanks rather than wood, Taylor said. "Wood is a pain in the ass," she said."Every time you move the wine, you have to clean the barrels. We just use wood for the aging process." Oak chips are added to the wine to impart the flavor that traditionally is acquired from oak barrels. Andas one tourist suggested, that's what makes the wine "oak-k." The Mount Baker Vineyards, just 11miles east of Bel-lingham on Mount Baker Highway, is housed in a one-story structure, which serves as a warehouse, production room, bottling room and a tasting area. "It's a small outfit, and we make thebest use of space that we can," Taylor said. The majority of work done on the design and construe-^tion of the 5,000 square foot 5 winery was accomplished by Hildt and the Stratton family. The winery has a 20,000 gallon production capability and currently produces 13,500 gallons of wine. The MountBaker Vineyards specialize in white wines and currently employs 20 different kinds of grapes, althoughthe company is experimenting with 40 varities. Six varietal wines are availa-, ble for sale, ranging fromdry dinner wines such as the Okanogan Riesling at $6.50 a bottle to the winery's own "Crystal Rain"selections at $3.00. They also offer fruit wines made from apples ($3.25) and cherry plums ($4.25).Although the wine is availa- . ble in Whatcom County stores, it is distributed more widely in Seattle.Mount Baker wine is served in Spokane and as far south as Tacoma. Visitors in the tasting room areadvised first to examine the clarity and brilliance of the wine and aerate it by swirling the glass.Patrons then are asked to "stick (their) noses in the glass and take a strong whiff...half of the taste issensed through the nose," Taylor said. The wine then is' sipped to coat the entire tongue and visitors are told to breathe back through their noses to capture the full flavor of the wine. Hildt said he doesn't seeany other wineries popping up in Whatcom County in the hear future. "Everyone will be watching us fora while," he said. "We're a pretty unique organization, and it takes a lot of commitment to takesomething like this on; there's a lot of time and money involved." And what do the neighbors think about having a winery in the area? "It's fun for them," Hildt said. "In a few days we're going to have a largegarage sale, and all the neighbors will come along and drink some wine. "We intend to keep it a smallfamily winery." The Mount Baker Vineyards is located on Mount Baker Highway. From Iâ€”5 take ex/7255 and follow the highway 11 miles to the winery. Currently tours are being given infor-.. mally.

Vol. 76, No. 6 Studenttrustee vote By Jeffrey Andrews A bill that would put a student on the Board of Trustees at statecolleges and universities has stalled in the House Higher Education Committee because of severallate-hour amendments. Bob Spaulding, a Washington Student Lobby intern from the University ofWashington, said 10 amendments to the bill were proposed. He said he expects the House HigherEducation Committee to review the amendments and then vote probably Monday. One majoramendment, which would affect the University of Washington and Washington State University, reducesthe proposed number of students on those boards from two to one. The bill proposes one studenttrustee at the regional universities. In all, 6 students would sit as trustees or regents statewide. Critics of the bill believe that putting six students on Boards of Trustees throughout the state would, be above,the average _of those states which currently have student trustees, Spaulding said. But Spauldingnoted that it is unfair to compare Washington universities with other state universities because there'sso much diversity among state universities. He added that each Washington college has its ownBoard of Trustees, compared to some states which only have boards at selected schools. UWAssociated Students President Marianne Bichsel said she expects the bill to pass in committee."Every indication says it's going to pass in the committee," she said, "unless someone changes theirmind." Western's AS President Dana Grant has doubts about the bill's jchances of passing during thecurrent session. But he said he is optimistic the bill will be approved next year. He said the bill hasreceived strong support this year, but predicted opposition by Sen. Barney Goltz will have a negativeeffect. Goltz said he opposes putting a student on the Board of Trustees because it would be promotinga special interest group. "If you put a student on the board, you'd have to include a faculty member andan administrator," he said. "Students have a lot of voice, and a lot of influence now. Being involved ona board of trustees wouldn't give them more power like some of them think," the Bellingham lawmakersaid. Goltz said universities already have a good system of internal governance, such as studentgovernments and Faculty, Senates. He added that trustees don't â€¢govern theomiversity,but-uversee *and maintain the public's interest in the university. "There are times when the trustees have to have avision larger than the components of the university, and a decision has to be made that won't satisfy all," Goltz continued. As an example, he cited a decision by Western's Board of Trustees several years ago to build more dormitories at Western. Students voiced opposition to the decision because itrequired a $25 tuition raise. "The reason wasn't to add more beds," he said, "but to make it (theuniversity) a certain size, to increase enrollment. "If it hadn't been done, West-em would be a 2,000-student college," he said. Parking may replace soggy tennis courts By Claire Swedberg Studentssoon may be playing their last game of tennis on the courts behind Carver Gym. The courts currently arebeing considered for anew parking lot by the Parking and Transportation committee. Dorothy Telles,Parking and Transportation director, said the tennis courts, which seldom are used now, might become a$50,000 project to add 35 to 40 more parking places. The tennis courts were built on a bog and nowaren't usable because they are sinking. Before the area can be used for parking, it will be necessary totear up the asphalt drain the bog and re-lay the asphalt, Telles said. Telles said Parking andTransportation will increase the price of parking permits to generate funds for the new parking tot. "Wehave only had one fee increase in 14 years, and that was four years ago," Telles said. Also beingconsidered is the old journalism building, below the Viking Union, on Garden Street. Telles said theyexpect to put in a parking lot in its place by next year, but are waiting for approval by Physical PlantDirector Robert Hascall. The Parking and Transportation board also forecasts the selling of a new parking permit for next year, with which a student can parkin any permit lot on either side of campus. Telles saidthis will allow them to increase the oversell of permits.

Here, Pete Bajema ducks under the weather.', Photo by Kris Franich Low rate hike hoped for Bv Dan Ramsavâ€¢ By Dan Ramsay Western students who live in university residence halls and apartments could bein for a lower-thari-expected rate increase next year because of increased occupancy levels. Thesecond draft of the University Residences budget calls for a rate increase of 4.24 percent for 1984-85. "We are hoping to keep the rate increase below 5 percent next year," University Residences DirectorKeith Guy said. "If our occupancy holds up, I think we'll be able to do that." But figures could changeseveral times before the final version of the budget.is submitted to the Board of Trustees for review and approval May 3. "It isn't going to be a static budget," warned Kay Rich, associate director forresidence life and acting chairperson at the Jan. 17 Housing and Dining Committee meeting. Western residence halls are 91.7 percent full with 2432 of 2652 beds occupied. Apartments in Bimam Wood,Fairhaven and Buchanan Towers are 91 percent full, or 243 of 267 units occupied. Last year 269apartments were in use but only 2264 residence hall beds were occupied. Other items discussed at the Jan. 17 meeting include capital improvements for housing and dining facilities and a proposal for a $25fine for improper room check-out. The $2 million capital improvement list includes ideas for renovating,remodeling and adding to existing housing and dining facilities, but no money is available for the actualwork to be done. "These are just pie in the sky ideas," said Terry Meredith, associate director ofmaintenance and plant operations for university residences. "These are just things we're looking at and prioritizing." The $25 fine for improper check-out was proposed by Frank Trueba, Nash Hall residencedirector who said at least a dozen violations occured in that dorm fall quarter. "Students need to learnthe proper channels of checking-out," Trueba said. "As it stands now there is too much key confusion, paperwork back-ups and time wasted tracking down where they've moved to." ---------- Western Front - 1984 January 27 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Friday, January 27,1984 Samish Way sizzles with burger battle College of Arts,Sciences ponders structural change By Dan McDonald What initially began as an advertising campaign has escalated into a price war between the two top fast food chains in America. In 1982 a TVad byBurner King claimed its Whopper was better tasting than McDonald's Big Mac, and the war was on. Last year the war moved to Bellingham when McDonald's and Burger King built franchises on Samish Wayless than 200 yards apart. In October Burger King lowered the price of its regular hamburger to 39 cents.McDonald's responded with a 37 centburgerand now A W also offers a 39 cent hamburger. Burger Kingassistant manager Andy Somers said he doesn't think the prices will continue to drop. "We joked aboutdropping our prices to 36 cents/' Somers said, "but we are fortunate to be on the corner. We will stay at39 cents for a while but I don't see us dropping the price again." Somers said the low prices partially were aimed at the student market, and said he doesn't see it as a war. "It's just good clean fun. McDonald'semployees eat here and we eat there." McDonald's assistant managers were asked about the "goodclean fun" _but said management told them not to comment. A W, the first fast food restaurant onSamish Way nearly 26 years ago, responded to the price slashes by lowering its hamburger prices also. But Bob King, owner of A W, who has seen his profits decline with addition of each new restaurant onSamish Way, said the drop in prices hasn't increased his business. "We've seen a decline in businessduring the last two years and we don't see nearly as many students as we used to." Despite the pricewar, Kidd Valley hamburgers are still $1.60. Manager Kelie Hulsebus said business has remained goodbecause of Kidd Valley's home delivery service. The managers of Burger King and A W said they donot make much profit on the cheap burgers but rely instead on the sale of soft drinks, fries and theincreased volume of customers. When asked if he thought Burger King was attracting more customersthan A W and McDonald's, Somers replied, "Oh yes, they don't even approach what we're doing." BySeth Preston College of Arts and Sciences administrators are pondering possible structural changes, in accordance with development of a long-range plan for Western's future. No specific change ortimetable has been set for the college, Acting Dean Peter Elich stressed, although several alternatives have been mentioned. Any formal recommendations would be relayed to the Planning Council, which is developing a university-wide plan to cover the next 10 to 15 years. The council has scheduled acolloquium on intial recommendations from Western personnel for 2 to 4:30 p.m. Feb. 1 and 2. Formal planning should be characterized by a "flurry of activity" spring quarter, and it could continue throughnext year, Elich said. He added that he isn't sure if the Dean's Advisory Council, made up of collegeadministrators, would want to make a specific proposal. Preliminary changesâ€”such as the removal of technology from Arts and Sciencesâ€”could take place as early as fall 1985. One possible Arts andSciences reallignment would provide divisions with more structure, Elich said. The college currently hasfour divisions: applied arts and sciences, humanities, natural sciences, and social and behavioralsciences. The groups could be represented by a division head, who would have authority overchairmen, Elich said. "I'm a little nervous about any reorganization which would create a bunch of newtitles and administrators," he admitted. Instead, a chairman could head both a department and adivision, Elich added. Divisions also could split off to form separate colleges or schools, he said. "Myconcern with creating new colleges, is it seems as though it reduces communication which existebetween those divisions," Elich said. But, he noted, units such as technology might look favorably on acollege which would highlight a particular area. A third possibility would be to split Arts and Sciencesin two, with each half monitored by an associate dean or by separate deans, Elich said. "My primaryconcern is that we maintain the liberal arts and sciences as the core of the university, a kind of hubaround which othercolleges and schools form," he said. Currently, 21 departments report to Elich.Organization management professionals have told him effective management only oversees five to sevenunits, Elich said. Reading aid offered for blind By Janice Keller Blind, visually impaired and physicallydisabled students can receive help with reading assignments from a program offered by the Office ofStudent Life. The reading service was developed in response to a need by visually impaired studentsfor tape recorded readings of class textbooks, syllabi and other assigned reading material, said LizPartolan, coordinator of student life programs. The program relies on student volunteers and volunteerreaders from community programs who are recruited and trained by reading service coordinator TedRust, a work-studying student in the office of Student Life. Students using the reading service submitclass schedules, syllabi and books before they are needed and preferably before the quarter starts, he said. Each volunteer spends two to four hours per week recording materials onto cassette tapes. Thestudents pickup the tapes as needed according to the class schedule, Rust said. The student life officecoordinates the service and Western provides the recording equipment, Rust said. It's really a low-cost program because of the volunteer readers," Rust said., The reading service began four years ago as a satellite program of the Washington Regional Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped in Seattle, Partolan said. The Seattle library approached Western and offered training and instructionalmaterials to begin a program similar to one at the University of Washington, she said. Four visuallyimpaired students currently use the service as well as several students with other disabilities, Rustsaid. These students require almost 30 hours of reading each week, he said, which now is done by 22volunteers. AS rep questions Ascent's purpose By Jeffrey Andrews Associated Students VicePresident for Activities Kevin Lohman told the AS Board Tuesday he was concerned whether thepublication Ascent was serving its intended purpose and it the students of Western were getting theirmoney's worth. Lohman said Ascent, the newpaper of the Associated Students, is budgeted for morethan $16,000 a year. Public Information Office Coordinator, Kari Averill, however, said the budget is only$14,000 In an interview Wednesday, AS President Dana Grant said Averill's figure was correct. But headded the $14,000 is the total PIO budget, and the Ascent budget is about $6,000 of that. Lohmanexplained that $16,000 represents an amended budget, which was just recently released. Lohman saidhe believes almost the entire PIO budget is for Ascent. "I've had people tell me they've made request forposters to the PIO, and have been turned down," he said. "They're (PIO) not doing any thing else(besides Ascent) from what I can see." Lohman said he believes some stories are written just to "fillspace," and that they should be written shorter. He also said the Ascent should include more storiesabout AS clubs. Communications Director Kerry Kreugersaid most of the problems have been resolved. Lohman suggested the AS Board buy space in the Front, or that Ascent be inserted in the Front.Krueger said she didn't know if the board could afford an insert. She said she believes the Ascent is s er v i n g its intended purpose of informing students about Associated Student's affairs. Grantexplained the original format of Ascent, when it originated two years ago, was a newsletter. Ascent hassince grown to a newpaper format. "We can do things the Front can't do,"' Grant said of Ascent. "Itgives us a chance to get into a little depth with our stories. We can highlight the less exciting programs. "Not everything is exciting. But it is exciting to the people who are doing it." In other AS news: Theboard endorsed Project Ascend Olympia, an educational project designed to inform students aboutthe political processes in Olympia.

The AS board wants a top quality day careprogram that will lose as little money as possible, committee chairman Bruce Keith said. ASPresident Dana Grant presented a proposal he said the board might accept. It calls for an AssociatedStudents subsidy of $6,851 per year. Grant's and other proposals were discussed at length, but notacted on because of a lack of information about the demand for infant day care. Committee memberssaid they wanted more "concrete information" about how parents would use the facility, how manyhours parents would volunteer to help out, and what fees they were willing to pay. The demand for day care may not be as much as originally thought, some members said. Keith, AS vice president forinternal affairs, presented information from a study done by the "sociology department a fewyears ago. The survey examined the number of Western students, faculty members and staff with children aged 18months to five years. By adapting that information to predict the demands for infant care now,committee members estimated only 10 to 15 infants may require Associated Students care. Theyagreed however, the survey likely has little relevance to the issue being discussed because it dealtwith a different population. Keith said he has a list of 10 parents who would use the day care facility, ifestablished. He promised to research further how many require day care and what fees they would bewilling to pay- Grant's proposal called for a $2 per hour fee. Increasing the fee would reduce theAssociated Students' subsidy. Members, however, discussed setting up fees based on parents' abilitiesto pay: An infant care facility would require one child care specialist for every five children, LarryMacMillan, co-ordinator of the current day care program, said. If the program served 10 children at atime as expected, two specialists would have to be hired. MacMillan said he would prefer they both work full time, but he was repeatedly asked if one could work just three-quarter time. MacMillan did notanswer no. He did say, however, specialists would need time at the beginning and end of the day forplanning and clean-up. Thus, while a full-time worker might work 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., day care actuallywould operate only from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. A problem infant care will face is a high burnout rate amongworkers, MacMillan said. .. One solution mentioned was to periodically have infant care workers tradejobs with those caring for older children. But several committee members pointed out young childrenprefer having familiar faces around. If and when the committee and AS board approves an infant careprogram, space then will have to be found to care for toddlers and younger babies who can't walk. Thetwo groups can't be cared for in the same area, members agreed. Finding a space to set up a day carefacility could be the biggest problem of all. AS Adviser Jim Schuster would be assigned the task offinding space, space that may not be available, he said. But resistance to giving the AssociatedStudents space doesn't mean none is available, MacMillan said. The committee tentatively has set itsnext meeting for 9 a.m. Thursday. Debaters talk it up in Tacoma KUGS gets 100 watts After a four-yearstruggle, KUGS-FM has boosted its power to 100 watts. KUGS switched to a 100 watt transmitter fromits previous 10 watts Jan. 18. KUGS received Federal Communications Commission approval lastMarch to boost its power. The approval capped off a four-year battle by the campus radio station to.move to 100 waits. Music Director Mark Turner said approval took so long because such a boost inpower would have interfered with the frequency of a radio station being built in Chilliwack, BritishColumbia. KUGS' application was approved when the station in Chilliwack ran out of funds and was leftunfinished. KUGS is celebrating the watt increase along with the station's 10-year anniversary from 2 to5 p.m. Sunday in the Viking Union Lounge. The celebration will feature music, and Western PresidentG. Robert Ross and Whatcom County Council member Mary Kay Becker as guest speakers. By LauraHarron Western's debate team traveled to the Tacoma Swing Tournament Jan. 13-15 where two pairsof Western speakers tied for first place. The team of Maryanne Boreen and Jon Barker tied with JimHanson and Jeff Parcher at Pacific Lutheran University. Ken Bairn and Ty Hanson missed going to thesemifinals by one point. Boreen and Parcher were awarded second and third for best speaker. Theteam's first tournament winter quarter was the California Swing at the University of California StateFullerton. Boreen and - Parcher had seven wins and nine losses while Jim Hanson and Barker had eightwins and eight losses. Barker took fifth place in the Leo Moher speech contest which involves debatecriticism and improvement. Barker is optimistic about the team and its future. "I think we've provenWestern can compete successfully on the national level."' Jim Hanson, Parcher, Barker and Boreen are National Debate Topic debaters who argue this year's resolution that manufacturers of hazardouswaste should be liable. Hanson and Bairn are Cross Examination Debate Association debaters andargue different topics each quarter. This quarter's resolution is that federal government censorship is justified to defend national security. Western's next tournament is this weekend. Jim and Ty Hanson, Bairn and Barker will go to the University of Utah while Boreen and Parcher will travel to Harvard andDartmouth this week.

John Spellmanoften has talked about "user fees" when he really has meant tax increases, so it shouldn't be surprisingwhen House budget chaiiman Dan Grimm says "inflation adjustment" when he is discussing budget cuts. Grimm (D-Puyallup) says the state needs more money than expected, because the governor's budgetoffice overestimated the inflation rate this biennium. The miscalculation probably will cost Western$125,000. The House already has approved the measure as part of a supplemental budget bill. It now isawaiting referral to the Senate Ways and Means Committee. Grimm points out that the measure takesnothing from Western that it would have had if the Governor's office had accurately predicted inflation. But that doesn't sit too well with Western administrators, who drew up their budget plans â€” usingSpellman's original inflation estimates â€” before the biennium began. Of course, being forced to revisebudgets is nothing new to veteran administrators. During the last biennium, threats of huge cuts becamealmost commonplace, as lawmakers struggled to close one gaping budget hole after another. This timeit's different. In the past, budget cuts have come in response to an economy mired in recession. Now they would come to Western because of what for others is good economic news: lower-than-expectedinflation. Western and other state universities have suffered enough during the stormy years of the budget crisis. Grimm makes a dubious argument when he says Western should be penalized for a faultyprediction made in Olympia. i,WL Jkvifittfftk Ai^Or OF C J77C/SM / / i eeeu HP 7Mr IF w MO SpaJrfijM/ujpA/ 0 gt;f s/t e rY I Siuce The Yen*- XA joe CMUUXST //Ave 5peNrm~F I Mfi/T 7* spew /A/ -me/V0O~Â£YÂ£Ms! Bur, IFUJF THAT MUCH , CLÂ£A/H0UCMJ$ WoVU*/r\ rm f Â£6jm gt; or$ezuziTY Ticket backlog spurs fight Budget gap wide against untimely undertow Ronald Reagan hascome quite a way since he took office three years ago, in rhetoric if not in practice. During his State ofthe Union address Wednesday evening, the President called for serious negotiations with the SovietUnion, and said the only "sane policy" the two countries can pursue is one in which a nuclear war isconsidered unwinnable. He also said he would seek a substantial increase for the budget of theEnvironmental Protection Agency, and said his administration is committed to preventing environmentaldegradation. Regardless of his motives, Reagan's moderated stance is good news, particularly from aman who once called the Soviet Union "The Evil Empire" and tolerated James Watt for more than twoyears as Interior Secretary. But one aspect of the Reagan administration's record remains particularlydisturbing, and Democrats would do well to develop some specific means of exploiting it. Budget deficits, those monstrous aberrations that Reagan rallied against for so many years, are bigger than ever â€”estimated at $180 billion for each of the next three years. During his speech on Wednesday Reagan took note of the need to bring federal deficits down. But concrete proposals for doing so were conspicuouslylacking. The President has time and again made clear his opposition to a major tax increase, saying itwould bog down the economic recovery that his administration has engineered. But the Reaganadministration can't really take full credit for the economic upturn, and more importantly, the so-calledrecovery stands on very questionable ground. An economy built upon federal deficits of a previously un-imagined magnitude can't be said to be solid. It would be easy for a lot of congressmen, Democrats andRepublicans alike, to quietly ignore the swollen deficits as the economic recovery rolls on. But the engineof growth could come crashing to a halt if policy-makers don't take action soon. They like you to movefast at Western's Parking and Transportation Department. The folks at Johnson's Towing don't giveyou much time to dawdle either. And when the two team up, they can have a motorist racing throughtown like a madman â€” minus the car, of course. Before I continue, I first want to make it clear that Ideserved to have my car towed last Thursday from the parking lot in front of the commissary building. Ihad amassed seven unpaid parking tickets. What's worse, I parked my green Mazda wagon â€”affectionately known as "Snot" â€” in front of a loading ramp. Some people â€” particularly those whowork at Parking and Transportation â€” might argue that having my car towedaway was too small apunishment for my misdeeds. I can almost visualize the parking attendant happening upon Snot andexclaiming, "If I had it my way, I'd fill the damn thing up with dioxin and let the sonofab-leep drive ithome." But, the people who ordered my car towed ultimately believe in the due process clause of theFifth Amendment, which reads: "All persons are innocent until proven guilty unless the accused parks in front of a loading ramp." So I'm really not complaining that I didn't get my due process. Actually, I gotmore process than I deserved. The sequence (i.e. ordeal) unfolded thusly: At 4:35 p.m. last Thursday, Isauntered out of the Western Front print shop and Jeff Kramer noticed my car was missing. At 4:35.04p.m., I phoned Parking and Transportation to confirm that my car was missing. An employeeinformed me that if I could come in at 5 p.m. and pay off my outstanding tickets, I then would beprerhitted to pay the towing company an ungodly sum of money to get my vehicle back Deprived of anautomobile, I coerced a friend to drive me home to get my checkbook It was almost 5 p.m. when wearrived at Parking and Transportation. I scribbled a checkfor$21 while the woman behind the counterthumbed disdainfully through my file of unpaid tickets. At last, she handed me the papers I needed toextricate Snot from the towing company. Relieved, I casually asked her when Johnson's closed. "Ibelieve at 5 p.m.," she replied curtly. I seized a telephone on the counter and called Johnson's. Thewoman on the other end of the line was calm and reassuring. She told me all I had to do was make it to1831 Racine in 15 minutes with $43 cash and I would be spared a $20 overnight charge. Myfriend/chauffeur and I flew out the door and headed towards the cash machine at Seattle-First NationalBank I waited impatiently while a man in front of me made a cash withdrawal from the machine, adeposit and then a transfer from his checking to his savings account. Dexter Horton would have loved it. I felt like going to the bathroom in my pants. The machine finally spewed out the requisite cash. At 5:25p.m., after fighting our way through rush hour traffic, my friend with the car found Johnson's Towing. Iburst into the lobby and handed $43 to a man in white overalls and a stocking cap. Numbly, I headedinto the yard to retrieve my impounded vehicle. Snot was parked against the back fence with aWestern Washigton University Parking Ticket tucked under a windshield wiper. I probably deserved thattoo, but if it's OK with Parking and Transportation, next time I'll take the dioxin.

Although without checking your facts you haveaccused me of- "insensitivity," "bad judgment," and mismanagement." All your negative reactions to theweek-long program Puppets and Prophets, NOT Cult Weekâ€”prove that I presented a program whichcaused you to think and react, which as social issues coordinator is my job. One of the major goals of the program was to cause people to look at their own values. If the Front's reaction to the program isany guage, it was very successful! I must repeat again my regret that the Latter Day Saints didn'treceive their letter until very late. However, in checking up on it, I have found that before sending theletter out, the publicity director (who wrote and sent the letter) made several calls to the group in anattempt to make contact. After several days of being unable to reach the group he sent the letter to theirlisted address. After returning from break we found that the letter had been returned as undeliverable tothat address. It was immediatley sent out again. Also the group told me that they read the letterSaturdayâ€”if they were really concerned why didn't they call me then!? My phone number is notunlisted, instead they chose to wait to contact me until a few hours before the program. At which timeI suggested that they come to the program and take the podium with the speaker from Saints Aliveto answer questions; Their reaction was that they would need weeks to prepare and that they hadalready chosen to boycott the program. The speaker as well as the letter sent by the LDS StudentOrganization and myself encouraged people in attendance at least a dozen times to check facts andask questions of the LDS organization and make sure thty they heard both sides of the story. No pleawas made by the speaker for his personal religious beliefs. What really bothers me about the severalarticles in the Front, other than they were all guilty of misquotes and poor research, is they have onlycommented on two of the five programs presented. The programs were presented in such a way asto be viewed as a whole, not in fragments. I fail to see how the editorial board of the Front can writecriticism of such a program based on only a small part of it; especially when the members of theeditorial board I talked to didn't even attend the program they so soundly criticized. Not long ago I wasshocked to hear the statement by one of our past U.S. presidents that only some 2 percent of theAmerican people can be termed as "Thinking Men" (or people). Obviously the Western Front editorialboard doesn't contain any of these 2 percent. Finally I will state that I make it a point to talk to otherrepresena-tives of religious groups critically covered in the program, and that after attending the eventsall of the groups in question felt that the program was not near as biased as they had thought it wouldbe, and that they found the chosen speakers well informed and highly accurate.

I would like to underscoresomething which was said at all presentations: since our goal was to generate public discussion at thelevel it occurs- privately on this campus, we hired people who are passionately committed to points of view of this subject. I feel we succeeded. I'm sorry Mr. Schweikart didn't attend Tuesday's presentation. The Moonies came the next night without much more notice (I had called them in Seattle some weeksbefore, but due to problems on their end with a phone machine and other things they didn't get themessage until shortly before Chris' presentation). We were treated to a fascinating dialogue between an "ex," Chris Carlson, and a present member, and had a former teacher in the Unification churchseminary present as well as at least one Western professor who has worked extensively with theUnification Church. Chris was challenged by someone who, as you reported, looked and sounded quitereasonable, so we who were watching had to think for ourselves. The Mormons have their peculiarities as do all groups, and as all other groups must be, they are accountable to the wider human communityfor what they do, and for what they teach others. While not much is gained from a simple attack withoutfoundation, the speaker was operating out of his experience. The Mormons do, in fact, recruit from otherchurches, teach that salvation can only be found;with them, have a political agenda and so forth. Thiskind of "we're right, you're wrong" ' stance understandably elicits hostility from groups who do not sharetheir theology. The Lutherans have all kinds of warts, too (our amiâ€”semitism, for one), but I'm notaware of an organized "anti-Lutheran" group. What is it about the way this group, or the UnificationChurch, operates which spans such organized, vitriolic counter-attack? I feel that under the banner of"live and let live" we can still carry on spirited debate and call each other into integrity andaccountability. Ultimately, the worst thing would be if no debates were being heard at all. I offer twopieces of scripture ripped out of context like laces from a shoe: " work out your own salvation withfear and trembling," Phillipians 2:12b, and "taste whatever is sold in the market without asking questions of conscience, for 'the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.'" Jack Kintner Should cops haveguns? I am a graduate of Western currently serving in the United States Peace Corps in Nepal. Iconsider myself a man of peace. I do not like war and I will never own a gun. While studying at Western I worked part-time for the campus police department as a student officer. In February 19801 was thefirst person wearing a uniform to arrive at the scene of the only murder ever committed on campus.The second to arrive (within a minute) was a fully commissioned, but unarmed, campus police officer.We had luck on our sideâ€”the murderer had left. Following the murder of coffee shop manager BobSchlewitz, there was a call to have Western's police officers armed. Paul Ols-camp, then president ofthe university, was in total opposition to the idea. A student referendum on the matter was held anddue to a lack of accurate information they also rejected the idea. Some concessions, however, weremade. Western police officers now carry nightsticks and a Mace-like chemical spray. Nonetheless, ---------- Western Front - 1984 January 27 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Western sisters, brothers dedicate time, love to kids Insights Friday, January 27,1984 By Paul Engbrecht Asmall, dutiful group of Western students surrender four hours a week toBellingham's Big Brother/Big Sister program â€” with very little thanks. The program matches adultvolunteers to children and teenagers from single-parent families for friendship, guidance,companionship and career development. Western student Shannon Mortimer, 21, has been a "BigSister" for two years. She also is juggling schoohvork and raising a family, while expecting anotherchild. Her little sister is Lisa Holt, 11. They have been matched for less than a year. Holt is Mortimer'ssecond little sister. The 33 Western students involved account for 28 percent of Bellingham's chapter ofthe nation-wide program, said Cheryl Keller, administrative assistant of the program as well as a seniorhuman services major ~ at Western. "We find they (Western students) are very good volunteers â€”infact, our greatest need now is Big Brothers and Big Sisters," she said. Mortimer said, "The hardest part is the time commitment. It takes real dedication and commitment to the kid." Being a Big Sisterespecially is difficult while attending Western full-time, though she said this quarter she is a part-timestudent. Western students who are here for just nine months will be matched with a little brother or little sister now, and then during summer break, they write or visit them when possible. The arrangementsmost often are made for at least a year. The program's staff matches the Big Brother or Sister with thetype of child desired, Mortimer said â€” "You have a choice." Interests, hobbies, lifestyle and religiousvalues are taken into account, in order to make the best match possible. But before this importantcommitment is made, "you must be absolutely certain you have time for the child," Mortimer said.Besides the personal growth attained by everyone involved, Mortimer said career experience may begained, especially for those students planning- to be teachers. Begardless of the academic major,Western students are an "excellent choice" for the program â€” "because they are more 1300 NorthState, Suite 3 Bellingham Wasb.-98225 734-6280 Imported cigarettes Cigars, snuff and smokingaccessories Pipes and Repairs Blended tobaccos Wide variety of clove cigarettes and many otherimported cigarettes aware and in tune to what the kids do," Mortimer said. "The program really has aneed for individuals who like activity . . . someone with some fresh input and ideas." The average wait for a girl to get a Big Sister is five months. The wait for boys, however, is about IS months. Fewer girls arewaiting for Big Sisters than boys waiting tor Big Brothers. The local chapter doesn't have enough BigBrothers. "There has been a big need for guys in the programâ€”the ones I've seen are really excellent,"Mortimer said. The need is great, in any respect, yet matching the youths with just the right adult is farmore important. - Case workers consult the child, finding out what "type" of adult volunteer will suit theyouths needs and desires. Age, race and geographical location of both participants is considered in theplacement process. Once the match is made, and both parties are satisfied, the new relationship begins to grow, rewarding the youngster as well as the Big Brother/Sister volunteer. Fostering the friendshipisn't really all that difficultâ€”actually it's easyâ€”nor does it necessarily become - expensive, Mortimersaid. The most 'rewarding moments often are attained while sharing simple daily tasks. Mortimerrecounts baking at home with her little sister and having a really good time. They also have participatedin group activities which include other Big Brother/Sister members from the Bellingham area. Volleyballgames, rollerskating, picnics, kite flying, baseball games, movie nights and fishing days are some of the activities organized by the local program. The Big Brother/Big Sister program is giving the third annual appreciation dinner for volun- ONY'5 Coffees ^ JSrjeas, Lisa Holt,11, and Western student ShannonMortimer, 21, have been matched as "sisters" by the Big Brother/Big Sister program. The Bellinghamprogram has 33 Western student volunteers. Keller said the new office will create more roomâ€”"doublethe room"â€”for orientation, adminis-teers and agency members on Feb.; 24. The dinner is the onlythanks volunteers receive, outside of personal satisfaction. "I think the dinner coming up is great. It'sthe best way we know to recognize the volunteer's efforts," casework supervisor Karen Hundahl said."Everyone in the community is invited." Executive Vice President of Big Brother/Big Sister, David W.Bahlmann will host the dinner. The evening will begin with a social hour and cocktails will be served, with dinner to follow. Bellingham Mayor Tim Douglas will attend, proclaiming March 5-11 Big Brother/BigSister appreciation week. Also, Pete Kremen, the local agency president, will present awards to the Big Brother and Big Sister of the .year.. . Keller said last year 134 people attended the dinner, and theyare hoping for 350 this year. "This is our way of telling the volunteers thank you," Keller said. Besidespreparing for the annual appreciation dinner, agency members are packing to move their local office to anearby location, one of Bellingham's old-. est homes. They plan to be completely relocated soon, sothe newly remodeled residence (at 1707 F street), initially built in 1884, will be ready for operationimmediately. tration and case work. Likewise, she is optimistic about Western students' voluntarycontribution to the agency. Hundahl said she is excited about the upcoming activities, while realizingthe important role a Big Brother or Sister plays in a young person's life.

But, during last quarter's Men's Resource Centerpresentation "The New Draft," Whatcom County Selective Service Board Chairman Gerard Rutan ofWestern's political science department said the compliance rate is 98.1 percent. "It's the highestcompliance rate of a federal law that I have ever heard of," he said. "Not even the IRS enjoys such a high rate." He added, "There's not an army of people willingly refusing to register as the media has usbelieving." Judy Shaw of the Seattle American Civil Liberties Union said the figures are a matter ofdispute. " Statistics can be misleading, she. said. Shaw admitted, however, July 1983 JusticeDepartment files listed only 70,000 violaters of the registration law less than 2 percent of total eligibleregistrants. Two decades ago, college campuses roared with displeasure about the draft. But theyonly purred about registration in 1980. Newspaper clippings from 1980 after the order was given showStanford University refusing Selective Service access to its facilities. And more than half of MichiganState University's male students vowed never to serve if drafted. Most collegians, however, grunteddisapproval and registered. After a preliminary count in September' 1980, the 'Selective Servicereported 93 percent of those eligibleâ€”3,593,000 out of 3,880,000â€”had registered. The compliance rate in 1973, when the draft just ended, was 83 percent.. Western anthropology professor Howard Harris,the vice president of the Whatcom County ACLU said Western reacted moderately to the order. "Idon't remember a big stirfon campus)," he said, adding some students joined community protestors to picket in front of the Bellingham Post Office. Rutan said the majority of the non-registrants are men who died, are in jail, gypsies, mentally disturbed and--immigrants who don't think they have to register. Non-registration is a federal felony, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and/or a fine of$10,000. "Some have the attitude, Ah, there's so many men, they're not going to get me,'â€”don't youbelieve it!" Rutan said. Justice Department files, however, show only 16 out of 70,000 offenders havebeen prosecuted. The ACLU consistently has challenged the registration laws, though perhaps withoutthe support from the public it expected at first. The organization filed a lawsuit because, it said,selective prosecution of ; non-registration is unconstitutional. The union claims the government isprosecuting only those who speak publicly against the law, which is an infringement upon freedomof speech. Immediately following Carter's order, the ACLU filed a gender-discrimination suit becauseCongress denied Carter's request to include women in registration. The Supreme Court ruled againstthe ACLU in June 1981. The ACLU also has challenged the legality of the government's refusal to givefinancial aid to students who have not registered. The Supreme Court should rule on the case in itsnext term. Meanwhile, Western's financial aid office will operate as if the law is constitutional. JuliaHampton of the ACLU office in Seattle said, "The registration issue is not dead yet." If the issue is notdead, it is dying. The ACLU has not won a Supreme Court case concerning registration and Hampton isnot optimistic about the selective prosecution case. Yet some anti-draft people aren't worried. "There'sa big difference between registration and the draft," Western student Scott Thompson said. Heregistered but doesn't know if he would have with a draft. Scott Renfro, a Campus Alliance for Peacemember, said, "It's very hard to organize people to boycott the filling out of a form. But the draft isanother matter." . Rutan said if the president declares an emergency and Congress reinstates thedraft, the present registration system can send 65,000 draft notices a day. Without registration, Rutansaid, time would be lost informing men to register, training post office personnel to conduct theprocedure, transfering the information from the post office to the government computers and mailingthe draft memos to the draftees. Registration saves 10 to 12 weeks in the mobility of manpower,Rutan said. But for the anti-draft groups, "the question isn't how efficient draft willbe, but whether weshould be drafted," Renfro said. "I'm more interested in how peace can be achieved than how wars canbe won." Western's documents librarian Bill Scott, former Whatcom County ACLU chapter president,said, "Registration is part and parcel to the draft. And the draft -is a violation of individual liberty."Bouncer pounces when fights arise By Mitch Evich Part of Bret Pugmire's job at the Hide-A-Way Tavernin downtown Bellingham is to decide who should be let in. Another part is to determine who should bethrown out. The first he performs with a simple ; check for valid identification; the second in whatevermanner necessary. Pugmire is a bouncer, and he is paid to make sure others don't get out of line.Granted, that is not what it said on his job application form. He was hired in 1982 as a doorman and nowalso works as a bartender. "I guess I just kind of fell into my job," he said. "We've got one bartender, anex- (University of Washington) Husky who stands six-foot-four, but he's got a bad back, so he's got tostay out of it." So whenever a fight breaks out in the Hide-A-Way, Pugmire, a lean six-foot-one and 185pounds, is the one who puts himself in the middle. The Hide-A-Way, a popular nightspot for Westernstudents, is entirely below ground, its only entrance a steep, narrow set of stairs leading down from theeast side of Cornwall Avenue. At one end is a deli sandwich bar. At the other is space for a live bandthat often packs the premises on weekend nights. But despite the young and often lively crowd that filesin every Friday and Saturday night, the Hide-A-Way isn't quite the. brawling den some would assume.Fights break out only every two to three weeks, Pugmire said. A wide receiver on Western's 1976District Championship football team, Pugmire never has been a stranger to violence. He said he usedto fight often during games when he was a three-sport high school athlete in Sacramento, California.Since then, he said, fights have been only an occasional occurence, not more than once a year.Pugmire, who is rather small by bouncer standards, said he gets no particular pleasure from steppingbetween a pair of enraged drunks. But he hardly speaks like a man dissatsified with his work, either."When a fight breaks out, you've just got to try to get between them and break it up. And make sure youdon't get hit. "In all my time, I only got hit once, and that was by a girl," he said, his voice rising inenthusiasm as he recalled the incident. "I was trying to get her under control and she grabbed on andstarted pulling on my hairâ€”I didn't even know that until laterâ€” and then she hauled off and hit me." The struggle began when Pugmire, working the door that night, had refused to allow in the woman's brother-in-law, who was under 21. When the woman's husband began to protestâ€”violentlyâ€”'i ran him up thestairs and threw him out the door," Pugmire said. That's when the woman decided to clutch on toPugmire's bushy, auburn hair. "Like I said, I didn't notice what she was doing until I found out later someof my hair was missing. Maybe that's why I'm going bald." Any signs of a receding hairline are well-hidden by a black baseball cap Pugmire often wears, emblazoned with the emblem of the Copenhagenchewing tobacco company. Along with his narrow-legged Levi jeans and cowboy boots, he would notlook out of place stepping into an "It's Miller Time" commercial. Pugmire said he is content at themoment to pour beer and occasionally break up fights, despite that when he left Western he was onlyone quarter away from a degree in physical education. He still sees a lot of the college crowd. In.addition to living among them on Key Street, not far north of campus, students are among the Hide-A-Way's most avidâ€”as well as most violentâ€”customers. But whether induced by students or local folk,fights usually are internal matters, Pugmire said, brought to a boil by one too many beers. "Most ofthe time, it's small guys," Pugmire added with a touch of disdain. "Trying to prove they're bigger thantheir size, I guess." - And as far as taking care of guys who aren't so small? "It's pretty easy to handledrunks," he said, now speaking like an auto mechanic discussing a common engine problem. "You justspin them around once or twice, and they don't know where they are." ---------- Western Front - 1984 January 27 - Page 8 ---------- â€¢ 8 Western Front Friday, January 27,1984 â€”-Sports -â€”â€” Vikes blowoutSimon Fraser, 89-58 ByDan Ramsay No season is complete without a blowout. Western's men's basketball â€¢team got itsturn last Tuesday evening in Carver Gym and Simon Fraser University was the victim. The Vikings, whonever trailed in the game, beat the hapless Clansmen 89-58. With all five starters scoring in doublefigures, Western dominated the contest, forcing 24 Simon Fraser turnovers and shooting 52 percentfrom the field. The Vikings lost the first meeting between the two teams in Burnaby, British Columbia, last December and head coach Bill Westphal reminded the players of that fact before the game. "I justtold them we're home and we know we can play better at homeâ€”and we owe them one." Westernjumped out to an 18-3 lead with 9:37 left in the first half and went on to take a 37-16 intermissionadvantage. Todd Bailey again led the winners in scoring, pouring in 18 points while other Viking starters. scored as follows: John DeFranco 15, Bob Peters 14, Bob Franks 12 and Greg Lambrecht with 10.Lambrecht also handed out eight assists and reserve forward David Strathy paced the team in reboundswith eight. "Good chemistry," a happy Franks chanted after the game. "This teams has got a goodchemistry. We're really playing well." Western was without the services of reserve center Mark Tib-betts and reserve guard David Cooper, who were out with the flu. But little-used forward Todd Miles filled in ably for Tibbetts, playing center despite being only six-foot-three. Miles played 18 minutes, scored 3points and collected a bundle of elbows against the taller Simon Fraser front line. "It was fun, but I was getting those elbows right here (pointing to his chin)," Miles said. "It's nice to get some 'PT' (playingtime), it gets that confidence up." DeFranco, who scored six of the game's first eight points andassisted oh the other two, said, "I knew if we played really well we'd blow them out.

Western hosts St. Martin's College at 7:30 tonight.The Vikings beat the Saints 58-56 Dec. 17. By Johnny Song Basketball has given Western's LizArmstrong more than an arm-full of trophies and awards. The 5' 11" freshman forward-center has gaineda special relationship with her father, a former high school Ail-American basketball player."Basketball has made us closer," Armstrong said. "We have that one thing just between ourselves."Kenneth Armstrong said his relationship with his daughter indeed is special." We're buddies. Ourrelationship is not necessarily a parent-child relationship." "She's got a tough character so I can't gettough with her," he joked. Youngest of four children (two brothers and one sister), Armstrong is theonly one to play basketball. And she isn't just another player. . Armstrong was selected to the All-State team her senior year at Woodway High School. She was twice an All-Western Conference pick. Shegraduated with her name in the record books as the all-time leader in rebounds (546) and the second all-time scorer (793) Seattle Pacific University, Gon-zaga University and other colleges contacted herabout possible basketball or volleyball scholarships. Armstrong chose Western because of CoachLynda Goodrich and the players' hospitality. "When I came to Western I really liked the coach,"Armstrong said. "She took time to walk me around campus and the players were real nice. "I feltmore welcomed and comfortable than anywhere else I visited." The elder Armstrong is happy with thedecision. "Western has a great team," he said. "Liz picked one of the better coaches in the Northwest." The daughter, however, always has had a good coach - her father. "I guess my dad is more involvedthan most dads," Armstrong said. "After high school games, my dad would be so excited aboutteaching me something new that we would go to the church gym so he could show me, even though Iwas dead tired from the game." For the times they couldn't make it to the gym, her father used the living room as a court to demonstrate his instructions, Armstrong said. "The archway was the basket," shegiggled. "I'll always remember that." The elder Armstrong explained he was telling his daughter how toget position under the basket (archway). "I'm glad he takes so much interest," she said with a smile.Armstrong also is appreciative of her mother. "My mother is equally supportive," she said. "She isalways Liz Armstrong there. She's the one I run to when I get tired of dad's coaching. The elderArmstrong said, "Our family has fun together. Sometimes Liz would rather stay home and have funwith the family than with her (peer) group." "We have a close family," Armstrong said. "And I get mostof my incentive to play basketball from my dad." "I like to play well for him," she added. "Liz is playingwell," Goodrich said. "She's going to be a player who will form the nucleus for a future championshipteam." Armstrong is adjusting to the college game, which she said is more physical. She downplaysher sparkling high school accomplishments, and is more willing to talk about her present role. "I want to do what is expected of me to get our team to nationals," Armstrong said. AT PARK BOWL.. Mondaynights are Western's nights!

Neither am I. Exber has listed theMariners as 500 to 1 under-underdogs to win the American League pennant this season. Is Exbercrazy? It would appear so, because a dollar could turn into 500 clams if Seattle comes out on top thisseason. But it could be Exber has merely come to realize what Mariner fans have had the horror towatch: As long as George Argyros is owner of the Mariners, Seattle will not have a professionalbaseball winner. Just take a look at his warning-track record. He let Julio Cruz, probably one of the bestdefensive second basemen in the league, go to the White Sox. While the rap against Cruz, andrightfully so, is that he can't hit, I'm sure the White Sox are grateful for the gift. Cruz isn't the onlyplayer who's probably glad to get out of Seattle. I'm sure every time Todd Cruz fingers his WorldChampionship ring he won last October with the Orioles, he gives thanks for deliverance. But these areonly two players Seattle management let out of town. Two others, Tom Paciorek and Floyd Bannister,also went to the White Sox (hereafter called the Sea Sox). When they were free agents, all baseballlogic said to pay them what they want and keep them in the Kingdome. But noooo, they let them go and spend the last two seasons floundering in the American League Western Division cellar. WhileArgyros wasn't always in charge, the Mariners have a long history of trading established talent for"potential." Since their creation, no less than 12 players now are enjoying fine careers throughout themajors. They include, in no particular order; both Cruz's, Pacior- â€¢ ek, Bannister, Rick Honeycutt,Shane Rawley, Dave Collins, Steve Braun, Craig Reynolds, Rupert Jones, Leon Roberts and Bill Caudill. The recent signings of Barry Bonnell and Gorman Thomas seem to indicate Argyros has finally learnedthat in that to keep talent in the majors, you have to pay for it. This doesn't mean an owner has tospend hand over fist like George Steinbrenner (the worst owner in the majors) and Gene Autry havedone. But he should be willing to keep proven players by paying them what they're worth. Qualityplayers are important, but so is someone on the roster who will assume a leadership role. One suchplayer who the Mariners let out of their grip was Pete Rose. While it's doubtful Rose would have left theNational League (he's since signed with Montreal), his experience would be very helpful to Seattle'syoung ballclub. " Even if Seattle has decided to quit going with "rent-a-players," Rose's presence on the team would not only help score runs with his hell-bent-for-leather type play, it could only improveattendance at the Kingdome, at an all-time low last season. Another extremely low act Argyros did lastseason was the firing of manager Rene Lacheman. Lacheman's value has since been documented bythe Milwaukee Brewers. With all these examples, it's easy to see how Exber can call the Mariners500 to 1 long shots. What I'm still wondering is how could Seattle convince Beattie they've made acommitment to win? Spirit Week: a success By Dan McDonald Spirit Week was a success, thanks to student body participation and coordinator Dana Wilson hopes this success will start a Westerntradition. "I would like to see Back the Big Blue week happen again next year," Wilson said. "I don'tknow exactly how many students took part this year but I think it got a few more people to the gameswho w o u l d n ' t have gone otherwise." Spirit Week was designed to make students aware of campusactivities while supporting West-em's basketball teams in the process. The added support in largerthan normal crowds was evident during the weekend men's and women's basketball games. On FridayJan. 20th the student section came to life as the Viking men lost a thriller to Pacific Lutheran 58-57.The students showed better than usual support for the cheerleaders an.d were entertained by anobnoxious yet humorous vik ing mascot who repeatedly received warnings from the referees to stay off the court. At halftime a yelling contest was won by a scream team from Edens hall, and several timesduring the game the crowd attempted, and almost pulled off, a Western version of the Husky wave. After the game, over 550 stu dents, many dressed in Hawaiian attire, danced to music played by"Nancy's New China" and "Catch 23" in Gym D. A pair of victories Saturday night from the men's andwomen's basketball teams treated a smaller but vocal crowd.

A pair of reasons Western has been so tough on defense aresophomore center Anne Cooper and forward Cindy Pancerzewski. / Cooper leads the team in blockedshots with 45 and is only eight short of the school record set by Keri Worley during the 1975-76 season: ~ . . -. Pancerzewski currently leads the squad in rebounds with 126 and is averaging almost eightboards per game. With Cooper blocking shots and Pancerzewski grabbing rebounds, the Vikings areallowing opponents to hit only 30 percent from the floor. On offense, the Vikings are led by super-shooting guard Lori deKubber, who is averaging almost 11 points per game while dishing out 42 assists. Although deKubber's points ' per game average may seem low, seven other Vikings are scoring morethan five points every game, allowing Western to average 71 points per contest. Among those, forwardTeresa Willard is hitting from the floor at a 48 percent clip and center Lana Hamilton is shooting nearly50 percent from close range. The Vikings are 10-0 in district play so far and 16-1 overall. A perfect 9-0 record on the road has helped pave the way to a winning streak which currently ranks third in schoolhistory. It stands behind the 24-game streak in the 1972-73 season and the 19-game streak during the1971-72 campaign.

Ogle Animals, barbed-wire, gravel and striking color are the elements of "Fences,"on display in the Viking Union Gallery by Seattle artist Linda Wachtmeister. Exhibited in the galleryare five drawings and four sculptures, each with animals as the central focus. The animals are designedsimply, without faces â€” all within confines such as fences, barbed wire or triangular structures. Two ofthe most striking sculptures are "Caught in the Middle" and "Home Sweet Home." "Caught in theMiddle" shows three animals encased in barbed wire stretched between two thick white fence poles."Home Sweet Home" has deer with blinders on in a round corral surrounded by barbed wire and black-painted plastic flowers. The life-size believeability of these two sculptures invites contemplation. Whatdo the blinders mean? Or what do the black flowers represent? These are questions any art loverwill enjoy pondering. Simplicity i s the key element in "Fences." The drawings, with titles such as"Black Animal/Red Wire," "Gold Animal/Gray Wire" and "Red Animal/Gray Steps," are straightforwardand open to personal interpretation. Wachtmeister's art evolved from the years she lived on a ranch inMontana. There she was taught by animals about what it means to be human, she recalled.Wachmeister's artist's statement claims she is trying to give back the world's "lost heart." The animalsrepresent how humans tend to encage themselves in fences and not realize how isolated they arefrom the "real world" by putting self-blinders on, she explained. Her statement describes how she wasalso isolated in Montana.

The play isdirected by Maureen O'Reilly, an assistant professor of theater in her first year at Western. Althoughactive in directing other local and professional productions, this is O'Reilly's debut production with theGuild. Director of Admissioms Richard Riehl is on stage for the melodrama. Also appearing is LauraSweeny, a theater major at Western. The scene for the play is set in 1880, in New York, and a lot ofresearch and effort has been put forth to capture the style'of that era. O'Reilly, who instructs all the stylecourses in the theatre/dance department, said the play gives viewers a better understanding of awoman's role in the late 19th century, highlighting the few rights she had. The performance is apsychological murder mystery blended with melodrama and a lot of plot twists and surprises. Yet"Angel Street" provides an intriguing study of the inter-relationships between the characters, O'Reillysaid. "The plot operates on individuals intimidating each other. You are not sure who is sane or insane or if everybody is who they say they are," O'Reilly said. , Three main characters revolve in "Angel Street":Sergeant Roug, played by Riel, Mr. Manningham, played by Harold Raymond, and Mrs. Manningham,played by Karen Eastman which is the role in which Ingrid Bergman earned an Academy Award in thefilm version, "Gaslight." The trio are prime suspects in a murder that occured five years previously. Theshow will run for the next three weekends. Admission is $3.50 for students and $4.50 for adults.

Vol. 75, No. 47 Campaign examines relations By Bob Bolerjack Both Western and the Bellingham community are responsible for animosity existing between the two, the ciiy's mayoral candidates said Oct. 11. City councilmenHaines Fay and Tim Douglas called for efforts on both sides to improve city-university relations asthey brought their campaigns to John Hebal's State and Local Political Sys- ' tems class. "It's one ofthose things that I don't think is ever going to be eliminated," Fay said of ill will between the city andWestern. "It just has to be dealt with over and over again." "There are some real bad apples in the townthat are never going to be changed â€” they're always going to be negative about students â€” and I'msure you realize that in a student body this large there are going to be a few people who are going toaggravate this 'negative image'," he said. Douglas traced community animosity toward Western to theVietnam War era. "There were a lot of fearful people in the community then," he said. "The sit-in thatoccured on the freeway and things like it didn't do a lot to improve relationships." Western should play a bigger role in improving the relationship, Douglas said. "The university, considering what it has atstake in its relationship with the city, has â€¢ probably dropped the ball more," he said. The candidatesdiscussed retail development in Bellingham and protection of environmental standards. Retailexpansion, which could affect off-campus student employment, is something the community should commit itself to, Douglas said. "If we lose the opportunity to expand retailing here to another area suchas Skagit County, we lose the vitality that's going to be necessary for the future of this community," hesaid. Fay said that while he supports retail expansion, a considerable public relations effort wouldhave to accompany it. â€¢ See MAYORS, page 3 Sheldt stresses 'L' in WSL By Elisa Claassen The Washington Student Lobby's new executive director, Pris-cella Sheldt, said she intends to work withlike-minded interest groups to make WSL more effective in Olympia. Sheldt replaced lobbyist AllenJones who she said "did an exceptionally fine job of setting up (WSL)." But with the lobby established,WSL wanted a director with skills in fund-raising, organizing students and who could do a moreeffective job of lobbying. Sheldt obtained her bachelor's degree with a double major of theater andEnglish from the University of Kansas, where she also had minors in political science, secondaryeducation and history. "Those were the days when there were no 18 credit restrictions," she said. In1974 she did graduate work at the University of Washington. After college she taught high schoolEnglish for nine years. She also has worked on school levies in Seattle and parent advisory boards.Through her work with the educational system she said she has noticed a gap between the students'needs and the resources available. "I've recognized lip-service to quality education is rarely met," shesaid. Sheldt has been noted by Roenfeldt and others for her ability to raise funds for the Mike Lowrycongressional staff for two years and more recently making grant proposals for the Seattle SmallBusiness Association. "It Tech Accreditation needed By Leigh Clifton Western students are beingdiscriminated against because they have no accredited technological engineering program, the newtech department chairman Paul Rainey told the Planning Council last Wednesday. Graduates are notbeing considered for jobs at Boeing because they don't have a degree from an accredited program, hesaid. Rainey discussed the tech department's . proposal for an accredited technological engineeringprogram. He said the average monthly salary for a graduate with a bachelor's degree in technologicalengineering was $2,300 last January. He estimated the base salary for a professor with the necessarycredentials and experience for an accredited program at $38,000 in an 11-month contract period. Theprogram has $80,000 of what Rainey called "seed money," which is enough to carry it for the next twoyears. After that he hopes to receive funding from industries. Also mentioned was the possibility ofcooperation between Eastern, Central and Western. All three are considering expansion in the area oftechnological engineering. Asked why Western should consider this type of proposal, Rainey cited itslocation near Interstate 5 and thus industry, and the possibility of drawing new students to a successfulprogram. was hardest (raising money) for my own campaign. It is easier to get (it) for others," she said.Sheldt ran for the state senate in 1982 against Sen. Peter von Reichbauer in the 30th district. "I've beena political activist for a long time." She and Roenfeldt both mentioned the ability to build coalitionswith other groups as her biggest strength. Sheldt said she hopes to increase membership in WSL aswell as heighten awareness of how "the legislative process has a direct impact on students." One way of providing students with this awareness is through an internship program which is in the planning stages. "Making legislators aware* that college students do care and can vote" is Sheldt's aim. "They are aviable force in politics and the legislators are coming to realize this." Finals talk scheduled by senate The Faculty Senate will discuss a policy that would forbid professors from giving a test during thelast week of classes. The Faculty Senate decided not to give immediate approval of a Finals Preparation Week policy at its meeting last week. Finals Preparation Week is a policy written last spring by thenAS Secretary/Treasurer Ron Bensley, which would forbid a professor from assigning a test during thelast week of classes. The Academic Coordinating Commission approved the policy with a few minorrevisions last May. It will take a 60 percent vote of the senate to overturn the ACC's approval. When the minutes from the ACC meeting came to the senate last week, senate president Hugh Fleetwood saidthe Associated Students had requested that the minutes, and thus the policy, be approved immediately, rather than at a meeting two weeks later as is usual. After some senators said they would like to havea chance to study the proposal and discuss it, the idea of immediate approval was scuttled. The nextsenate meeting is Monday. ---------- Western Front - 1983 October 18 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, October 18,1983 Schools lack rigor, experts say By Deanna Shaw This is the first of a three-part series on education. A report about the condition of education in America issued inMay by the National Committee for Excellence in Education (NCEE) is rocking academic foundationsboth across the nation and here in Whatcom County and continues to spark debate about problems,priorities and possible solutions to our educational woes. The country would consider such a pooreducational system an "act of war" if it had been imposed on us by a foreign power, the NCEE reportcontends. "We have, in effect, been committing an act of unthinking unilateral educationaldisarmament." John Utendale, chairman of the department of educational administration andfoundations, agrees. "There is definitely quality education occurring in some places, but given myobservance of students, I'm distressed; they lack the fundamentals. Our educational programs don'tprovide the rigor necessary to push the child along in learning." A whopping 23 million adults, and 13percent of all 17-year-olds (for minority youth, the figure is 40 percent), are functionally illiterate by thesimplest tests of reading, writing and comprehension, reports the NCEE. Scholastic aptitude testscores now are 50 points lower in English and 40 points lower in math than in 1963. In internationalcomparisons of student achievement in 19 academic areas, American students failed to place first orsecond and were last in seven categories. At the college level, remedial math courses increased 72percent between 1975 and 1980 and now compose 25 percent of all math courses offered in publiccolleges. Marvin Klein, acting dean of theschool of education, said the problems begin early. "If I lookinto the typical fourth grade classroom, I can project that 15 percent of the students have serious reading problems and 50 percent have writing problems." Utendale said he thinks we need to move back to asound subject baseâ€”reading, writing, calculation and problem solving. $ gt;IOfO00,QDC - C0,OCO - Xlt50o - I05,CQO -/O,0oc - V,V05/OCO 5,321,*nC "Rigor in development of the fundamental skills isthe most sorely lacking thing in our education system today," he said. Basic skills are tools, saidMarie Eaton, chairman of the department of educational curriculum and instruction. â€¢ They need tobecome so automatic that students can concentrate on higher level skills like analysis, deductionand research, she said, and the tools will help Americans be lifelong learners even though the subjectcontent itself will change. At the secondary level, the NCEE report says basics are sorely lacking whilestudents are treated to an academic "smor- Agencies ordered to set sex harassment policy By KarenJenkins A sexual harassment policy for Western employees soon will be formed in response to Gov.John Spellman's executive order requiring that all state agencies "take steps necessary to preventsexual harassment from occurring." The mandatory steps are: "Develop and disseminate among allagency employees a policy statement that defines and strongly expresses disapproval of sexualharassment. "Inform employees of their right to raise and the means of raising the issue of sexualharassment under Chapter 49.60 RCW, or under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended in1972. "Provide training and education in order to eliminate and prevent sexual harassment in theorganization. "Develop and exercise appropriate sanctions." Coordinator of Affirmative Actionprograms, Leslie Nix, is organizing the policy-making committee, which will consist of herself and arepresentative from each of the five employee constituencies at Western (AdministratorsAssociation, Faculty Senate, staff employee council, Washing-t o n Federation of State Employees andWashington Public Employees Association). Nix referred to various studies that say 82 to 92 percentof working women questioned say they have been sexually harassed. "My guess is that it's (frequency of sexual harassment) not as high at Western. But whether we have one case or a hundred, it's stillimportant," Nix said. Western currently doesn't have a sexual harassment policy applying toemployees, but it does have one for students. That policy took a committee at, Western 18 months towrite and was approved by the Faculty Senate and Board of Trustees last winter. Western's new catalog contains a copy of the policy (page 332), wh.ich defines sexual harassment, denounces suchbehavior and lists actions students can take if they feel they are being sexually harassed. Coordinatorof developmental programs for the Office of Student Life, Connie Copeland, helped write the policy. Shesaid she doesn't know if the new policy has deterred sexual harassment, but believes that the publicitysurrounding its adoption has heightened awareness of the problem. "I would say that virtually all thestaff and most of the faculty know it (the policy) exists," Cope-land commented. Copeland said most ofthe faculty and staff at Western "have been very positive about the policy. But there still is a smallpercentage who question whether we even need one." No formal charges have been brought against anemployee since implementation of the new policy. Copeland said she has had students come in and talk to her about being harassed. But in each case the harassment was stopped without the need for formal procedures. She said she doesn't know how many students are aware of the policy, but suspects thatmany of them, especially freshmen and transfers, don't know it exists.

You may have 20/20 vision with or without glasses, but the eyes may not beworking as a team. This can cause you to lose your place when reading, reread or skip lines, omit words, and complain of blurred vision after reading a short time. These problems can slow the basic learningprocess, but vision therapy can help by increasing how well the eyes work together. We have recentlyadded a visual therapist to our staff who will perform vision efficiency screening tests, and if necessary,give recommendationsfor improvement THE SCREENING ALSO INCLUDES A SIMPLE CHECK OFYOUR EYESIGHT FOR 20/20 VISION, DEPTH PERCEPTION AND COLOR BLINDNESS.

Only minimum requirements must be met in core subjects like Englishand math to graduate, a trend responsible for lower student self-expectations. Nationwide, 16percent of all high school students take geography; 6 percent take calculus and 13 percent takebeginning French. Physics is completed by only one of every 10 students. Gifted students (usuallythose ranked in the 95th percentile or better academically) are especially affected by the lack ofchallenge at school. Of all gifted students, who are considered to be a national resource by theNCEE, only half work up to their tested ability. "We're not serving those kids well and we need to do abetter job," Eaton, an expert in special education,. said. "We're not preparing them properly." Theirdropout rate is considered appalling. If the top one percent is considered gifted, Eaton said, theycompose 25 percent of high school dropouts; extending the figure to include those in the top fivepercent on tested ability, the dropout rate climbs to 50 percent. The NCEE report, suggests additionalprograms for the gifted and a tougher curriculum in the "new basics" throughout the school years for allstudents. For graduation, it recommends a minimum graduation standard of four years of English, threeeach of math, science, and social studies, one half of computer science and for the college-bound,two years of foreign language. Dan Farrell, Ferndale High School principal, said Washingtonrequirements already meet or exceed these recommended standards and are being increased again inthe fall of 1985 in math, science and English. "When standards are raised, kids will raise theirexpectations," he said. He said he thinks parents, too, need to raise expectations for their children andbecome more involved in their education by maintaining closer contact with schools, seeing thathomework is completed and stressing the importance of education. "I have parents who want their kidsto get a haircut or shop for a prom dress on school time, and I've had some stiff arguments with thembecause I won't excuse the absence," Farrell said. "They need to tell their sons and daughters 'this(education) is a priority in life' â€” and I'm beginning to see some encouraging signs of this happeningnow." Western President G.

The closer one gets, the higher the silhouette rises until it towers equal with themighty evergreens. A truly sublime sceneryâ€”until a young man urinates out the windowâ€”welcome toBeta! Beta has a certain mystique with its flaunted "party" reputation. Beta residents said they thinktheir partying reputation is overblown. Bob Peterson, director of West-em's department of public safety,said Beta has no more problems than other residence halls. Still Keith Guy, Director of UniversityResidences, said that reputation has negative sides. Beta has had it's "party-hardy" image for morethan 15years, Guy said. While other dorms' reputations have varied through time, Beta has remainedinscrutable. Many outsiders are curious to know what actually happens in this active dorm. The Monday before school started, the "penthouse suite," which is on top of the sixth stack, had a six-keg party.The event was proclaimed "the breaking into Beta party." The penthouse also sponsored a "Jack and JillBeer Cap Tournament," said Rod Schonbachler, a member of the penthouse suite. Wednesdays feature "Hump Day" parties. Four kegs usually are consumed before 10 p.m. The "Friday Afternoon DrinkingClub" is well known throughout Beta. On weekends, Beta attracts party-goers from both on and offcampus. "It's sort of Beta's responsibility to have parties," Beta resident Martin Siderius said. Thisenthusiasm is not shared by everyone. Guy said, beer flowing freely with 60 to 70 people jammed intoa suite is not a healthy environment. He said if this happens every weekend, the buildings and thepeople around the area will suffer. Beta's liberal reputation also insinuates tolerance for illegal activities,such as drugs. Lori Krause, Beta resident, said a dealer frequently visited Beta last year. "They don'tdeal for profit, they do it just to keep up their habits or just to let everyone have fun," Krause said."They're just like high school dealers." Schonbachler said he knows dorm-mates pick hallucinogenicmushrooms and dry them. These people do not sell, but use the products personally, Schonbachlersaid. Darren Bandow, another penthouse suite member, said, "I've gone to other schools to visit andthey use a lot more hard-core drugs compared with here." Peterson, of public safety, said he is unawareof drug activities anywhere on campus. Campus security has not apprehended anybody on drug charges this year, he said. "We have a no-tolerance policy," Peterson said. If a student is apprehended forillegal conduct, he will be charged. "Drugs are kind of out-of-style," Siderius said. "There are definitely those who are on speed and acid here, but they keep to themselves. Beerâ€”it's the big thing!" Alcoholalso results in illegal activities. Many parties require a donation for the keg, which is illegal unless thehost has a liquor license. Siderius added that Beta-ites are as studious as anyone else. "People thinkthat we're all bunch of partiers flunking out of school," he said. "But I go to the library as much asanyone." Beta-ites merely consider parties a release from the pressures of schools. "I couldn't makeit through school if I didn't party," Bandow said. It's a preventive measure against burning out. It keepsyou going knowing you got something in the weekend to look forward to." Mayor foes pro-growthâ€¢ MAYORS , from page 1 "I think there is a very strong feeling in our community that people aren't allthat fond of â€¢bringing outsiders in," he said. Industrial growth, favored by both candidates, wouldimpact the environment, but present environmental standards should not need to be relaxed, Douglassaid. He expressed concern that key industrial-zoned areas presently are not served by utilities andthus could not accommodate new businesses that could meet environmental standards. Fay alsosaid current standards should not be relaxed to bring in new industry, but cited widening of banks and dredging of Whatcom Creek to prevent downtown flooding as an example of human need overridingenvironmental concerns. Students attending the discussion appeared to favor Douglas, but Fay alsoleft a favorable impression. Fay and Douglas will speak at the Associated Students Board meeting at6:30 tonight in the Fairhaven Deli. Other candidates running for local positions that affect the studentcommunity will also appear. CAN YOU BUY GOOD TASTE? Yes! Now you can acquire good taste for a couple of bucks.

A. ---------- Western Front - 1983 October 18 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front COMMENT Tuesday, October 18,1983 FRONTLINE AS endorsementsi Inapt use ofposts The Associated Students Board of Directors has taken it upon itself to decide which localcandidates Western students should vote for in the upcoming election. The board wasted time at thepast two meetings debating the value of Associated Students endorsements in the election. In fact,time limits were suspended in its last meeting to settle this "hot issue." At the height of the directors'minds is whether their endorsement will speak for all Western students or merely act as an advisorymessage to students before voting. They also appear quite perplexed whether a simple majority or aunanimous decision would be necessary to enact their endorsements. While the directors apparentlyresolved these dilemmas in deciding to give the go-ahead for their endorsements, it appears they missedthe biggest question of all. What is the AS Board of Directors doing by endorsing candidates? Should,voters wait with bated breath for endorsements from the Board of Trustees, Faculty Senate or maybe even the City Council? The role of a government body is not to pick political favorites. If anything, the ASBoard of Directors should be leaning heavily in favor of impartiality. After all, it will d o Western studentsno good if their representatives endorse the losing candidates and then have to live with a sore winner.And w h o are these folks on the board who think they have either the knowledge or responsibility to tellstudents h ow to vote a n d to tell the community who students plan to vote for?. No surveying of studentviews has been conducted thus far. The AS Board of Directors is busy enough scheduling dances andclosing meetings. Perhaps it should leave the political arena to someone else. Faculty grievances^mâ€”â€”^â€”â€”â€”-* Make board decide The Faculty Senate's purpose is to represent the faculty. TheBoard of Trustee's purpose is to b e the final authority on university policy. Both should b e able to carryout their roles without fear of offending each others' sensibilities. The senate is debating its next move ina n effort to establish a n ew faculty grievance procedure policy. The current one is ill-suited to formallysettling a serious dispute. The faculty has clearly indicated they want binding arbitration in settlingdisputes between faculty members and their fellows, or faculty and chairmen, deans or administrators,when two-thirds of the senate and the president disagree on the matter. That of course means anoutside party would settle university matters. Western's President G. Robert Ross has said heopposes this. The board informally has indicated it's opposed to arbitration. It chose not to act whenthe senate presented the policy last winter. Still, it's not too much for the senate to ask the Board if itrejects binding arbitration; the senate is obliged to do that until it becomes apparent it won't work. It canbe argued that the time has come. Inferring the board's sentiments is a pale substitute for asking theboard to say yay or nay. If the matter is taken back to the board and rejected, as expected, then thesenate can begin to draft a new policy acceptable to the faculty and the board. The senate should bemore concerned with representing the faculty than being at odds with the board. _ ^ ^ _ ^ Western FrontCarolyn Casey, editor* Don Jenkins, managing editor Pat Bulmer, news editor â€¢ Shaun McClurken,opinion editor Margaret Carlson, features editor?

Education in America Budgets,priorities need examination, rethought By Deanna Shaw Education is the high priority national issue,with' the low priority national budget. America has been exhorted by the Reagan administration tomake far-reaching changes in its' I educational system using a federal starvation budget nearlyeclipsed by the First Lady's private clothing allowance â€” a feat possible only with the invention ofelastic money. The National Commission of Excellence in Education (NCEE), a group of 18 educationexperts appointed by U.S. Secretary of Education Terrel Bell, has issued a report on its findings: Theeducation system is in deep trouble. Although the report is long on remedies, it is remarkably brief inassigning financial responsibility for implementing them. It says state and local officials have primaryresponsibility; the fed's will help(?) in keyt?) areas. Bell assures us of Reagan's support, saying "I knowhe's genuinely interested and I know he's committed to doing all he can to use his high office to improveAmerican education." But we must question the commitment of an administration that has strong-armedCongress into shaving 10 percent off the education budget during the past three years, and only recentlyhas relented on its original promise to dismantle the Department of Education entirely. Recent Reaganrhetoric supporting education suggests Election Day is, indeed, nearing. A glance at statistics makes his concern suspect. The 1982 Statistical Abstract of the United States lists an estimated educationdepartment budget of $27.8 billion, a figure representing 3.8 percent of the total budget and a drop of $3.6 billion from 1981. 1979s budget figure was $29.7 billion, representing 6.1 percent of that year's budget.Projections for 1983 are missing â€” an asterisk and footnote remind us of the then-impendingdismantlement of the department. Of the $27.8 billion, only $16 billion actually was earmarked forpublic education, kindergarten through college inclusive (only $7.5 billion of this sum was for primary andsecondary education). The balance financed grants, loans, research, job training and employment.The Department of Defense, on the other hand, received $187.5 billion, (a sum not including veteransbenefits and services) representing a whopping 25.9 percent of total federal outlays. Last Monday inRenton, Bell reiterated the administration's professed support, saying he sees the federal role ineducation as expressing their opinions and calling attention to what they feel is an alarming situation in education. "We feel the first priority of state government is education and the first priority of nationalgovernment is national security," he explained. "I don't favor a massive federal initiative to start payingteacher salaries and funding schools here in the Pacific Northwest." Marvin Klein, acting dean ofWestern's school of education, notes the federal government doesn't hesitate to impose laws andregulations directly impacting local school budgets. Cities and states with large populations of non-English speaking immigrants, for example, must, by law, fund adequate and appropriate schoolprograms to integrate those children into the school system. Busing is another example. And although it may be meritorious, it is extremely costly. Dan Farrell, principal of Ferndale High School, says timerequired to complete federal paperwork for programs such as Title I also affects local budgets. Thepublic, as well as educators, feel education needs more funds and the support of school budgets withmore dollars despite tight economic times. They want to see the federal government do likewise.Interestingly enough, the NCEE report commissioned by Bell himself takes note of this, citing a 1982Gallup Poll's findings on a survey of the public's attitudes toward public schools. Education was rankedby the public as the top priority for receiving additional federal funds from among the 12 categories listed. The report continues, saying, "People are steadfast in their belief that education is the majorfoundation for the future strength of this country. They even consider education more important thandeveloping the best industrial system or the strongest military force, perhaps because they understand education as the cornerstone of both." A fine education system needs more than lip service from theadministration. Remember Japan and Germany, big losers in World War II? They rebuilt their nations and their educational and industrial systems with the help of Marshall Plan monies. Their expenditures onmilitary-related items have remained very low over the years while they have continued to pour money into their education resources. Their current industrial strength surpasses the United States in many ways. We, too, need to use more brains and less brawn. The federal funds usedfor education and defense are, in fact, funds culled from our collective paychecks. We control that money with who we send to federal office and how diligently we apply ourselves to making our wishes known there. By issuing a collectiveshout for more adequate funding in education, we can support education as our most precious"renewable resource." In the NCEE's words, "Excellence costs. But in the long run mediocrity costs farmore." ---------- Western Front - 1983 October 18 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, October 18,1983 Western Front 5 Profs study fish, culture JJL TM. U 33 ^ By Janice KellerWestern is hosting two visiting professors this fall one from Norway and the other from Maine, throughthe Canadian- American Studies Center. Knut Heen, associate professor of fisheries economics, is atWestern on a one year sabbatical leave from the University of Tromsoe in Tromsoe, Norway where hehas been teaching for 10 years. Victor Konrad, professor of geography and director of the Canadianstudies program at the University of Maine in Orono, Maine, is involved in a faculty exchange programbetween the University of Maine and Western. He has exchanged places for fall quarter with IngeborgPaulus, professor of sociology at Western. Heen, originally from Bergen, Norway, came to Western todo fisheries research on the West Coast of North America. His research includes working on projectshe brought from Norway and "getting an impression about the structure, problems and policies ofthe branches of fisheries on the West Coast. Some typical problems, Heen said, are exploitation anddepletion of fish stocks and finding ways to cope with too many fishermen in relation to size of fishstocks. He plans to look at parallels between the west coast of North America and Norway in theseareas. Heen also is interested in the structure of universities in the United States compared toNorway. One difference he has noted is the student-teacher ratios at the two universities. TheUniversity of Tromsoe's Institute of Fisheries has 30 faculty members for 150 students, higher thanWestern's ratio, he said. Bellingham is a good central location to study the West Coast, Heen said, andhas found that the town is "not as stressing" as places he has taken sabbatical leave in the past.Konrad is a cultural-historical geographer whose research includes the transfer of material culturebetween Canada and the United States. While at Western, he will do regional research of that subject at several locations in Washington and British Columbia, as well as teaching historical geopraphy ofCanada class and giving seminars and guest lectures. Konrad describes this exchange experienceas "not necessarily a vacation, but an opportunity to do different things, and a chance to sit backand evaluate my work." The program, which made it possible for Konrad and Paulus to exchange places for fall quarter, has been in existence for four years and has worked quite well, Konrad said. He addedthat the knowledge gained by the professors from the experience is transferred to the studentsthrough teaching. â€¢OH WHAT Awcrcfx lt;_ HÂ«pC X WptIT PO AWYTHIA/fr STUPID ACkAlf/.

Funding slows Viking car By Jeffrey Andrews High performance andhigh efficiency are main goals for Viking VII, the next in a series of experimental cars at Western,Vehicle Research Institute (VRI) Director Michael Seal said. The car will be lighter than previous carsand is expected to get over 50 miles to the gallon, Seal said. It also will meet crash and emissionstandards. Funding for the Viking VII comes from Subaru, Inc. and the Aluminum Corporation ofAmerica (ALCOA). Work on the Viking VII has been slow and Seal said he is not sure when it will becompleted. "The Viking VII has a lower priority because of funding," he said. "Most of the labor is unpaid student labor and my own unpaid labor." A project for Interbase, Inc. (IBI), of Ontario, funded at $54,000, has higher priority, Seal said. The VRI is developing a propane-methane carburetion system, called afeed-back loop system, for IBI. The system is designed to read its own exhaust content and adjust thecarburetor to an appropriate mix. Propane, methane or any combination of the two fuels can beused. Still in bits and pieces in the Environmental Studies building, the Viking VII will be equipped witha Subaru engine block. The cylinders and heads will be cast at the VRI. To combine performance withefficiency, the engine will feature a progressive intake system and dual intake ports. The primary port will be used at low and medium speeds and the secondary port will provide increased power at high speeds, Seal explained. . Like other Viking cars, the Viking VII will have a streamlined design that allows thecar to go through air with less resistance. Seal explained that a streamlined car can go up to 50 mph,at three-and-a-half horsepower. This compares to the 12 horsepower a Subaru requires to go 50 mphand 30 horsepower for a 1965 or 1966 Mustang. Seal isn't sure if people will buy Viking cars someday."Many people consider streamlined ugly."

No matter where one stands the loudness of thefountain is consistent. Most students just by looking can tell how far away the fountain is, but not allstudents. Juanita Wilson can't tell how close she is to the fountain just from listening. Red Square toWilson is vast and unfamiliar. Wilson is blind. The 30-year-old student recently returned to school after10 years away. Despite her handicap, she has learned the campus well. Wilson, who was blindedshortly after birth, chose to attend Western because of its smaller campus and she didn't want to dealwith a city the size of Seattle. Her biggest problems with adapting to Western has been getting acrossRed Square and finding her way in the library. The elevators have braille on the outside to tell up fromdown, but no braille on the inside to tell which floor button to push. In spite of some expected diffi-culities, Wilson is glad she came to Western. "It turned out to be a real good choice," she said.Although Wilson hasn't been to college for 10 years, she said she finds her classes are like a review ofinformation she has learned "just from life experience." The Office of Student life offers services forvisually impaired students. Without the reading service and the mobility aides the Student Life Officeprovides, attending college could be difficult for a blind student. Liz Partolan, of the Student LifeOffice, said the reading service tapes textbooks or has volunteers read the books to the visuallyimpaired. The readers are students or people from the community. The mobility aides walk thevisually impaired students to their classes when schedules work together. The aides work with theStudent Life Office, Partolan said. Wilson said one thing about school that she is not used to is w r i t i n g research papers, though she does like to write. "Just going to school will help stimulate mywriting," she said. Finding time to write and do other studying often can be hard for Wilson, who isdivorced, because she has three sighted 'children. "Being a mother really curtails any uninterruptedwriting,'' Wilson said. But her children help her out around the house, she said. Nine-year-old Angelais the oldest and "a real good reader," Wilson said. She reads the mail and some of Wilson's textbooks. In her four-bedroom home, Wilson has set up a separate room for studying and typing. "It's almost anecessity," she said about the room. Her children are beginning to understand her need for studying,she said. Wilson usually does most of her studying when the kids are in bed or watching television. Inthe morning, the 30-minute bus ride to campus with two of her children is routine. The younger children,two-year-old Robin and four-year-old Ariel, are dropped off at the Associated Students Co-op Daycare,and Wilson journeys to class. Two days a week Wilson works at the Co-op. She enjoys the time shespends there because she gets to be with the children. Editing and publishing is what Wilson is lookingtoward for a major. She likes to read fiction and would like to work with a Jua nita Wilson assists hertwo-year-old son, Robin, at the Associated Students Co-op Daycare. Wilson takes her turn working at the daycare twice a week. company that publishes fiction books. She likes to fish and hike, but with herfilled schedule, rarely gets the chance. She said she also would like to explore downtown more, but isnew to the area and not yet familiar with the bus system. "I feel like I'd like to take my kids more places too," Wilson said. Wilson said it is hard for her to get to know people because she doesn't live oncampus, but she enjoys talking to people. "I'm always glad when someone stops and talks," she said.Wilson said she has gotten a lot of help from people around campus. "People have gone out of theirway to help me. They have been willing to walk me to class." She doesn't mind when people ask herquestions, but sometimes she notices that people refrain. "People are afraid they are going to ask aquestion that may hurt my feelings. That's ridiculous," she said. "People need to learn more abouthandicapped people. The more people who are ignorant the less chance we have of things changing."Help is on the line at Crisis Center (The Whatcom County Crisis Center offers four counselingprogramsâ€”Crisis Line, Rape Relief, Domestic Violence and the Outreach Team. All services areprovided free to the residents of Whatcom County. This, the first in a two part series, will examine theCrisis Line and Rape Relief programs. Part two, in nexf Tuesday's Front, will discuss the DomesticViolence and Outreach Team programs of the Whatcom County Crisis Center.) By Maggie Pringle Aftertwo or three rings someone answers the telephone. "Crisis Line, may I help you?" asks the calm,confident voice on the other end of the line. No matter what time of day or what the problem is, theWhatcom County Crisis Line has someone waiting to listen. The Crisis Line offers immediatecounseling and usually is the first number called for help, said Claire, a volunteer at the Crisis Line.Volunteers for the Crisis line emphasize confidentiality in their work. Most operators use their first nameor a pseudo-name and callers don't have to identify themselves or worry about information going beyondthe conversation. The Crisis Line is the backbone of the other programs at the Whatcom County CrisisCenter: Rape Relief, Domestic Violence and the Outreach Team. The Crisis Center started in 1969when volunteers, primarily from Western, used space provided by the Campus Christian Ministry toestablish a crisis line. This organization was the Crisis Clinic of Whatcom County. Better fundingbecame available from the city, state and federal government sources and the United Way.Programs began growing and smaller agencies later merged for a more centralized framework. About10 to 20 percent of the calls received each month at the Crisis line are life and death predicaments,but most calls deal with personal conflicts and some calls are for the more fundamen-ta^ necessities offood and shelter. "An operator can reduce tension, provide verbal acknowledgement and be there toreduce anxiety," said Emmett Garbett, of the public information office for the center. He also mentionedthat the operators refer the callers to sources of more specific information on their problem. Every call isdifferent, but often the caller needs a change to get their problem out in the open where it can berecognized. Claire began working at the Crisis Center in June. After she completed the training programshe had mixed emotions but said to herself, "If I don't do it now, I never will." Claire studied socialservices at Western and said training for the Crisis Line reinforced what she already knew and taught her how to deal with more problems, including suicide and domestic violence. She also said she haslearned how to help people deal with their problems. "It's important to learn how to listen and pullinformation out of the caller and to help them sort things out," Claire said. "Some people expect us toknow what they should do to solve their problem. We really can't do that but we can offer support andcriticism and validate their feelings." The Crisis Line experiences a high turnover in volunteersespecially in the summer months when students go home and many people take vacations. A varietyof backgrounds and life experiences help the operators relate to the variety of problems that comein. Many calls on the Crisis Line are referred to other Crisis Center programs such as Rape Relief. Rape Relief helps victims by providing support and information on how to cope with the rape experience and how to take legal action if the victim decides to do so. "Advocates have a role of intervention andsupport so that the victims can find support within their own peer group and family," said Cathy Charette, a volunteer at Rape Relief. Rape Relief also provides workshops for women to learn about rapeprevention. The current workshop is to inform women about the "option" of self defense, Charette said.The rape prevention workshop emphasizes information about sexual assault in order to set the facts anddispel the myths. It also educates about the strategy of prevention in assessing circumstances and itoffers instruction in self defense techniques. Unfortunately, it often takes a violent sexual assault inclose proximity to remind women that they are vulnerable, Charette said. ---------- Western Front - 1983 October 18 - Page 7 ---------- Tuesday, October 18,1983 SPORTS Western Front 7 Women's soccer league's finest By Johnny SongRunning on all 16 cylinders, the high-powered Western Women's Soccer machine has cruised to an 8-0record, leaving it the only unbeaten, untied varsity squad on campus. During last weekend's homes-tand, the Vikings shifted into high gear and ran over two more victimsâ€”University of Portland (8-0) andUniversity of Oregon (3-1) respectively. Western shelled out 66 shots in the two games, while theopponents countered with only 14. The Vikings' precision performances outscored the Oregonschools 11-1, leaving no doubt about Western's capabilities. "Western's number one," Oregon's coachTom Philips conceded. "Western is definitely a good team," Portland's coach Gord Williamson said."They have strengths all over the team." The secret to Western's unblemished record is the cohesionwithin the team, said junior leading scorer Annette Duvall, who scored six goals over the weekend. Duvall downplayed her scoring performances, claiming the victories were a team effort. "I always get a lot ofnice passes," she said. "Actually, the balls that I get are harder to get to me than for me to score."Western Coach Dominic Gar-guile agreed with Duvall. Every member on the team has aided in itssuccess, Garguile said. This was exemplified by the bench scoring three goals against Portlandâ€”twoby freshman Debbie Carter and one by freshman Diana Holly. "We have the ability to beat anyone inthe league (they already have)," Garguile said. "Now, to say we will go undefeatedâ€”I don't want tocommit myself to that. We can't start taking opponents lightlyâ€” that's when we will get in trouble."Garguile believes that this is the strongest team he ever has coached at Western because it is so"business-like."

Lucky for them. "That's toughcountry down there for football," head coach Paul Hansen said after his team dropped a 42-7 decision tothe Western Oregon Wolves on Saturday. The loss was the Vikings' fifth straight this season, and thethird to an Oregon team on the road. The latest setback was Western's 11th straight in two seasons,and 17th consecutive Evergreen Conference (Evco) loss. "We thought we could beat them when wesaw them on film, but when we got there we saw that it could be a different story, and it was," Hansensaid. Western Oregon started things off in a hurry, returning the opening kickoff 50 yards to the Viking 35. Quarterback Wes Dell scored on a three-yard run seven plays later to put the home team on top.Later in the first quarter, the Wolves capped another seven-play drive with a five-yard touchdown run by tailback Greg Lawrence. Trailing 14-0, Western struck back in the second quarter. Qua-terback DavePeterson "shook loose from the charging defense and hit freshman tight end Scott Ashmore with a short pass near midfield. Ashmore promptly turned the completion into a 54-yard touchdown romp, cuttingthe Wolves' lead in half. That's the way things stood until Western Oregon scored again with only 21seconds left in the half. Dell tossed an 11-yard pass to wide receiver Tim Schee-hean to up the score to21-7. Western took the ensuing kick-off and, mere seconds before the i n t e r m i s s i o n , Petersonscrambled free again to throw., This time, however, Western Oregon defender Larry Johnson pickedoff the pass and returned it 39 yards for a touchdown.

"I say this simply because we have dominated our opponents so far." Led by Annette Duvall's hattrick plus one, the Vikings breezed past University of Portland 8-0 in the first game of a two-gamehomestand Saturday. Using the superior speed of its wings Hope Grimm, Cindy Gordon, Diana Hollyand Debbie Carter along with the flashy talents of center-forward Duvall, the Vikings shot 10 times,scored three goals and kicked four corners before Portland got its first shot. At the end of the first half,Western had 13 shots, five goals, four assists and three corners while Portland was held to one shotwithout any goals, assists or comer kicks. Western's goalie Muffy Lil-jegren had only two shots directed at her during the whole game. Aside from Duvall's four goals, Debbie Carter scored twice and DianaHolly and Hope Grimm each contributed one goal. Lil-jegren recorded the shutout. Determined not togive West-em an "easy" game, University of Oregon scrapped and fought until finally bowing 3-1, onWestern's home pitch last Sunday. Though Western shot 35 times, Oregon did everything possible to make the Vikings earn the victory. Oregon's defenders Shonna Bradbarry and Pattie Devitoconsistently sacrificed their bodies defending their goal. Bradbarry took a strong shot in the facesaving a goal and Devito was down four times during the game. When the game ended with Westernon top 3-1, Oregon was jubilant. Oregon's coach Tom Philips welcomed his athletes to the sideshouting, "Good job green! Great job!" Karen Hege, who scored Oregon's only goal, said "At least itwas no easy game for them!" Duvall scored two goals and Hope Grimm added another. Western will tryto stretch its winning streak to nine tomorrow at Pacific Lutheran University.

By Tim MahoneyWestern's volleyball team proved that it's not how bad you beat the other team, but how many gamesyou win that determine the outcome of matches with a 15-8, 0-15, 15-12, 15-11 victory over CentralWashington University last Saturday. Except for the second game, junior hitter Sue Jernegan said, "We had control over the match" She blamed hesitancy, problems with communication and bad passing oneasy Wildcat volleys for the shutout. In the first game, though, Viking head coach Mike Clarkexplained, "We controlled the game totally. They really didn't have anything." In the last two games,Western ran into a problem they've had all season. "We'd get a big lead and then they'd catch up," Clark noted. According to Jernegan, the Vikings will get up to around 10 or 12 points and then not be ableto put the other team away right then. "It's been the same thing that's been plaguing us all season long," Jernegan said. But, Clark said, "We had enough control, poise and stamina to beat them." Westernhad not tared so well earlier this season. Clark said that the win was "pretty much a team effort." Still,junior hitter-setter Jackie Nelson and sophomore hitter Debbie Abramczyk had nine kills apiece forVikings, and sophomore hitter Sara Rosin served five aces. Plus, Clark singled out freshman hitter-setter Kris Keltner for her "really good" play. With Saturday's win, the Vikings moved their record to 3-4 inNAIA District I play and to 7-8 on the season. This weekend, Western faces a crucial road trip, playingWhitman in Walla Walla on Thursday night, then traveling to Spokane to play Whitworth on Fridaynight, then Gonzaga on Saturday. A winning trip will be essential for Western's playoff chances, sinceonly the top two teams travel to regionals. Gonzaga currently is on top of District I, but the Vikings will need to get tough against Whitworth as well, Clark said. Vikes place high at PLU By Johnny SongRunning among a "highly competitive" field, Western Men's and Women's Cross-Country teams placedsecond and fourth, respectively, in the Pacific Lutheran University Invitational Saturday. Western'sMen's team tallied 103 points, finishing ahead of all its district competition. Willi-amette, the defendingNational Association of Intecollegiate Athletics District II champions, won the meet with 59 points. TheVikings were paced by senior Toby Smith, who finished the 8,000 meter course in 25:30. Smith's finishwas good enough for 12th place. Sophomore Dean Janz followed by taking 18th place (25:39). SeniorRick Buck-enmeyer( 19th, 25:42), senior Mark Steen (26th, 25:59) and sophomore Matt Eichenberger(28th, 26:00) also performed strongly for Western. "We wanted to finish ahead of the teams in ourdistricts, which we did," Western coach, Ralph Vernacchia said. "It showed a lot of promise for us fordisticts (which is three weeks away)." The Western Women's team scored 112 points and finishedsecond to host PLU (66) among the district teams. Finishing the PLU course faster than any Westernfemale ever, Viking senior Cathy Kroll placed 10th of 92 contestants with 18:12. The meet's top 11finishers ran within 17 seconds of each other. Senior Jeanna Setera (18th, 18:41) and freshman DoloresMontgomery (19th, 18:42) were the next two Western finishers. The Vikings have three weeks oftraining and one meet before the districts. Bartlett said that only three of the seven spots open for-playoff competition have been established. They are Kroll, Montgomery and Setera. "There is quite a battle forthe other spots," Bartlett said. "About eight people are right in there." The next meet for both teams willbe the Central Washington Invitational on Saturday.

The Vikes' performance was great, Coach JohnMcCarthy said, especially "for the fact that we are so inexperienced. Ten out of 15 players are in newpositions or rookies," he explained. But inexperience apparently isn't a handicap for the womenâ€” thisis their third victory of the season. Senior Deanria Mitchell scored twice, prompted by a small, butenthusiastic group of fans chanting, "GO, Deanna! Carry it, carry it!" Other veterans who scored wereseniors Dali Borden and Cindy Stump. Senior Kris Erickson, who called signals for the Viking offense,said, "We have a lot of new girls and they played extremely good team ball. They controlled the ball welland set up the plays to score." Praise was mutual among teammates. "The veterans teach thenewcomers how to feel comfortable out there. I really feel great out there!" rookie Elaine Gilmore said. McCarthy noted, however, the finer points of the game need tuning. For example, "Don't throw the ball away when you're being tackled. I think this game taught us a few things like that." The ruggers willgear up again next weekend for a match against Simon Eraser University in New Westminster. CRISISENERGY!

"I don't know anything new I can say," Hansen said. "We hang inthere, but we're just weaker physically. We stay with them for a half, then get pushed around." Hansencompared the state of the Viking program to the University of Illinois football squad he helped coachfour years ago. Illinois has gone through a rebuilding program after spending years as a perennialBig 10 punching bag, and appears ready to challenge for the conference championship in 1983.Hansen said he hopes to develop his current program the same way. But in the meantime, theVikings were dominated again in total yardage, gaining 164 yards to the Wolves' 535. The Westernrushing game was held to an anemic 11 yards. "Because we're so smallâ€”not just our line, but ourbacksâ€”we can't really run," Hansen said. "So the defense can just tee off on us." The Vikings lostsenior outside linebacker Brian Humphrey to a knee injury against the Wolves, leaving junior safety Doug Nelson as the only defensive player left who started the season opener.

Â» ---------- Western Front - 1983 October 18 - Page 10 ---------- ARTS/ENTERTAINMENT 10 Western Front Tuesday, October 18, 1983 ABCs: By Angela Dean Children clapping hands, hopping around the room like frogs and making various animal noisesâ€”just a bunch of kids playing games. Maybe, but not this time. These children are in a creative drama class for pre-schoolers. Pre-school kids learn drama â€” 'Oz,' animal impressions taught Class time is spent inlearning creative movement and other theatrical exercises. Pat Kelly, the instructor plays a record ofanimal sounds. She wants the kids to act out the animal movements and make the noises. When therecord is finished she asks the kids what animals were missed. Jacob Hunter, a kindergartner, said acow. "How does a cow walk?" Kelly asked. Jacob replied, "On four legs, but I don't have long enougharms." Next the children listened to a song about a "funny fat frog." Kelly gets down and hops like afrog, the children follow, running into each other and bouncing from one end of the room to the other.Kelly put on another song about a seed. The children listened to the story and acted out what theyheard. The four kids stretched their arms trying to reach the ceiling as they grew into flowers. Then thecold came and the seeds went back to sleep. "Goodnight" one of the children whispered. Each childtook a different colored feather. The next activity was to listen to a song about colors. Five-year-oldAutumn Brown knew the song and sang along. The voice on the record told the children to stand up and . sit down according to the color of feather they had in their hands. The children watched the teacherclosely so they didn't make a mistake. The attention span of the kids waned as the class went on.Instead of acting like elephants, they swam like fish. But once the teacher told them they were going toact out the "Wizard of Oz," the attention was back. "Can I be Dorothy?" Autumn and 4-year-old MeganMorehouse asked. The children became involved in the dramatics of the play. They told their teacherthat she had to be the wicked witch because she had long hair. Autumn was Dorothy and Megan choseto be the good witch. Autumn's twin brother, Adam, played the part of the lion and Jacob played thescarecrow. Jacob Hunter shows excitement about doing "The Wizard of Oz/' while Adam Brown thinksabout his part. Photo at left: During a rendition of 'Wizard ofOz" Dorothy tells Toto to behave duringdrama class for pre-schoolers. Pictured from left to right: Jacob Hunter as the Scarecrow, Autumn Brownas Dorothy, Pat Kelly as the Wicked Witch and the teacher and Megan Morehouse stands in as Toto."You're the audience," Jacob said as he pointed to the parents sitting around the perimeter of the room.Each child gave their story of "The Wizard of Oz" and together, they were able to perform a 10- minuteversion. At the end of the performance the parents applauded and the kids scurried over to their parents. Pam Morehouse, Megan's mother, said, "She does constant plays at home." Kelly teaches the classWednesdays at the Gallery Theater. Class started Oct. 5 and meets for five weeks. Kelly said shewill offer other sessions if four or more children enroll. 'Pilgrim' sets serious plot with humor Review ByKaren Jenkins "It's not what you say, but how you say it" is the cliche Tom Key proved true in 1976when he took the words and plot of a sober religious allegory and turned them into a vibrant, funnyplay entitled "Pilgrim." The play, an adaptation of John Bunyon's classic 1678 novel, "Pilgrim'sProgress," was presented to Western audiences last Wednesday and Thursday nights by the TaprootTheater Company. Although the production has a lively tone, it conveys the same serious message asthe book, the Christian theme of struggling through perils and temptations to remain righteous and arrivein heaven. The mood of the play is unpredictable. It often switches from comic to tragic and back tocomic in a few moments. The play was well received by the respectably large, though nowhere nearcapacity, audience. The 17th century wording of the script, formal and contrived by today's standards,forced the audience to pay careful attention to the dialogue. The audience laughed at all the right timesand were properly silent during the serious moments. The company's production director, Scott L.Nolte, stars in and directs the production. It largely is his skill that keeps the outdated prose frombeing too dry for modern theater. As the director, Nolte gives close attention to detail. The humorof theplay often is derived from something as subtle as a tone of voice, gesture or facial expression. As theprotagonist, Pilgrim, Nolte is charmingly naive. And though he spends much of his time playing astraight foil for the bizarre characters he encounters, he also gets his share of laughs. The other six cast members play multiple roles totaling 21 different characters. The actors give their roles as muchbelievability as can be expected from the one-dimensional characters found in an allegory. DickHampton especially was amusing as the fainthearted Pliable. And Pamela Nolte made a delightfullyvampish, worldly-wise woman. The costumes, designed by Christine Wise, are simple and colorful 17thcentury style dresses and robes. Pilgrim wears pajamas throughout the play, which add to his sense ofvulnerability. The same basic set, a large arched structure, is used for all 13 scenes. Also appearing inthe production are Bonnie Hampton, Clayton B. Richardson, George Scran-ton and Kim Mahaffey.Assistant director/stage manager is Julie Lewis Richardson. i ^ K ^44 â€¢ Showtime â€¢ Cable Plus 60units â€¢ Continental breakfast Sauna Jacuzzi â€¢ Triple-A rated â€¢ Several fine restaurants/lounges within two blocks â€¢ Telephone color TV â€¢ Airline transportation/^^ American Express (mM^ 120Samish Way â€¢ Bellingham, WA. 98225 Call toll free: 1-800-732-1225 â€¢ I I co a O o I I KEGS to go Special $29.22 With Coupon â€” Expires 10-28-83 **\^| BEECH HOUSE PUB X 113 E.

Romano It's the film for which James Bondpurists have been waiting 12 years. Sean Connery, after saying he would never do another JamesBond film is back in "Never Say Never Again," rated PG, now ^playing at the Viking Twin Theaters. TheConnery-Bond is smooth, polishedâ€”and showing his age. The wonderful opening sequence showsBond's reflexes slowing up, causing his untimely death. Â£ Disgusted, Bond's superior, M, banisheshim to a health farm to "purge the toxins" from him. While there, Bond witnesses certain things whichpuzzle him momentarily, but which the audience knows he will figure out in the end. ^ The first part ofthe movie, Western Front 11 ack again as 007 shows Bond dealing with growing older (even thoughthe 53- year-old Connery is wearing an artfully-dyed toupeeâ€”apparently James Bond can't have abald spot) is quite entertaining. Connery plays the role as though he's never been away. Maybebecause the film moves into a remake of "Thunderball" (1965) and turnsVnto just an average Bondflick, one we've all seen dozens of times before. Gone is the suggestion that Bond possibly could growold. Dozens of car crashes, fist-fights, people dying left and right, and, of course Bond seducingeverything in sight follows, business as usual, with 007, invincible as always. The villians are a delight as they drip pure evil across the screen. Barbara Carrera plays Fatima Blush, who can cheerfully beata man silly, tenderly kiss him and a short while later blow him into tiny fragments. Yet she's not mean or vicious about any of it. It's just the way she naturally is. In 1965 "Thunderball," Bond's nemesis,Maximilian Largo, was woodenly played by Adolfo Celi. Austrian-born Klaus Maria Bran-dauer is a vastimprovement. This Largo has no socially redeeming values, and revels in that fact. Only one character isa failure. If you go expecting to see Bond and Miss Moneypenny exchange their usual banter, you'llbe sadly disappointed. Bond may have gotten older, but somehow Moneypenny has gotten younger(she's also turned totally insipid.) Maybe James should find out her secret. Bond films aren't meant tocontain hidden messages about the state of society today. They are for entertainment. As Q says toBond at one point in the film, "I hope now we'll have some gratuitous sex and violence." "I hope so,"Bond replies: Yea. \ FAIRHAVEN BICYCLE SHOP Your Univega, Fuji, Centurion and Specialized Bike dealer.

"Tocco" was created from granite curbstones retrieved from original city sidewalks that weretorn out during the recent downtown improvement project. "Tocco" is a Quechuan word (the languageof the Incas) meaning cave mouth or opening. It also is "the entry place of the first Inca from the lowerworld into this world," Jacobsen said. " 'Tocco' represents a visual! memory of certain stonework thatimpressed me in the Peruvian ruins of Machu Picchu," he said. Jacobsen's studies of Incan and Mayanart and architecture have had an impact on the sculpture. The Incas came up with new combinations for using stone all the time, he explained. "Every time I turned around there was something new andbeautiful." "They didn't approach creativity the same way we do in our culture. We would call theirwork functional but it's difficult to draw the line between functional and non-functional," he added.Jacobsen stresses with any art "that it be viewed for what it is." In "Tocco's" case it is a group of stonesthat are cut, polished and assembled in a non-objective shape. Although Jacobsen puts a lot of hispersonal life into his sculptures, he prefers that the public make their own discoveries. He tries to letpeople enter into his work without writing an explanation of the piece. Communication, he conceded,is the most important part of his work. He used if) feel intimidated by the public but doesn't anymore. He works with the tactile and visual qualities of stone but insists that the intrinsic quality be maintained. "Iwent on too many roller coaster rides," he said. His feelings about his work went up and downdepending on public reaction. Originally from Everett, Jacobsen has lived in Bellingham for 10 years. Hegraduated from Western in 1977 with a bachelor's degree in sculpture and a minor made up of arthistory, painting and drawing. A trip to Europe in 1972 inspired his sculpting, but Jacobsen also doesfree lance graphics. He and his wife Carol soon will have an even busier schedule; they are expectingtheir first baby. The new addition to his family surely was on Jacobsen's mind during the three monthsthat he worked on "Tocco" â€”a passageway from one world to another. At one point, Jacobsen did alot of bronze casting. Most of these now are in private collections. "Western Stone Gardens,"Jacobsen's other publicly displayed sculpture, is in Boulevard Park. The work consists of five largeboulders near the water's edge. The largest boulder is eight feet tall and weighs 17 tons. The bouldershave polished surfaces that reflect each other and their environment. "These aren't just five boulders inthe open. They've been touched by human hands in a certain way," he said. That's where magic andbeauty lie for many artists: the meeting between intrinsic material and human hands, This sculpture,"Tocco/' is on display at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art. "Tocco" means cave mouth or opening in the language of the Incas. The Scene ( Choir will perform 'Coronation Mass' Mozart's "CoronationMass" and Haydn's "Missa brevis in honorem S.

Talbot whose term as university president spanned the gap between the administrations of G. Robert Ross and his predecessor, has resigned his current post effective July 1. Talbot said hebased his decision to resign on a desire to return to teaching, and suggested his position be filled bysomebody with "fresh ideas." Former University President Paul Ols-camp appointed Talbot in 1975.Three months after Olscamp unexpectedly resigned in march 1982 to take over the presidency atBowling Green State University in Ohio, Talbot moved into the role of temporary replacement. He servedas acting President until Ross took over early last year. His decision to withdraw from the Rossadministration was announced Dec. 2. He said he had pondered the move for some time, and chose toannounce the decision at the end of fall quarter to allow a search committee to form before classesresumed. . Ross greeted Talbot's decision with regret. "I'm truly sorry to see him leave, and I'm certainmany of his colleagues will feel the same way. But I respect his decision and those factors thatinfluenced him in making it," Ross said in a press release issued shortly after Talbot'sannouncement. Talbot gave little credence to speculation that disagreements between himself andRoss helped precipitate his departure. He said he began considering stepping down as early as fallquarter 1982, when Ross was still one of five c a n d i d a t e s vying for the presidency. At that time,Talbot said, he contacted all five candidates and told them he might resign soon after the new presidenttook office. After the Board of Trustees had chosen Ross, Talbot submitted a formal letter ofresignation, but Ross turned it down, Talbot said. "I've always felt that a president should pick his own vice president," Talbot said. He said he stayed on at Ross's request to help the administration make its way through the transition â€¢ See VP, page 7 James Talbot resigned as vice president for academicaffairs after eight years on the job. Merger may threaten services By Jeff Kramer President G. RobertRoss' decision to merge the top two posts in the student affairs division has cast doubt on the future of student services at Western. Several administrators expressed concern that combining the post of dean for student affairs with the vice presidency of student affairs could limit the effectiveness of thedivision's office of student life, already hobbled by severe budget cutbacks. The office of student lifehandles a number of student-related concerns including crisis intervention, academic grievanceprocedures and sexual harassment matters. 'it's unrealistic for one man to do both jobs',' said VicePresident for Student Affairs Thomas Quin-lan. "Student services will suffer from this combination."Quinlan, who will leave Western next month to assume an administrative post at the University ofNorth Florida, said the merger could save the University about $20,000 and help fill a $46)000' hole in the divisions 1984-85 budget. But Quinlan warned that consolidating the position previously held byBellingham Mayor Tim Douglas is destined to cause problems. "Our response to a variety of needs willbe limited," Quinlan said. In contrast to the crisis-oriented nature of the dean's post, the vice presidentof student affairs at Western is expected to play more of a coordinating, long-term planning role.Huff target of sex charge; new policy gets first test By Shelley McKedy and Jeff Kramer The target of the first complaint filed under Western's year-old sexual harassment policy has taken a medical leave ofabsence. Western English Professor Robert Huff recently checked into Valley General Hospital inMonroe, where he is receiving treatment for alcoholism. Huff is a nationally acclaimed poet, who had hisfirst book, "Colonel Johnson's Ride," published in 1957. He ran into difficulty last October when one of his students, 21-year old English major Bobbi Jean Giesler, filed a sexual harassment charge against him.The complaint is the first filed under a sexual harassment policy approved by Western's Board ofTrustees last year, Connie Copeland, Coordinator of Developmental Programs confirmed. The policystates that individuals found guilty of sexual harassment are "subject to sanctions, includingdismissal." In a copy of a witness statement received by the Provost office Nov. 4, 1983, Gieslercontended that Huff approached her in front of the Harris Avenue Music Store in the Fairhaven District,grabbed her and started kissing her. Giesler said she broke away and called him by name to stop. Shesaid Huff started crying and begged her "not to tell on him." During the ensuing conversation Huffsuggested the two "rendezvous somewhereâ€”like the water- Robert Huff front," Giesler wrote. "Heobviously was intoxicated." Asked about the incident in a telephone interview, Huff said, "I thoughtit(the case) was overwith. It all happened downtown. I was out partying with a â€¢ See HUFF, page 3Ross/ who "performed both duties simultaneously as an administrator at the University of Nebraska, isconfident someone can be found to do the same here. "I've been in that position, and I obviously think itcan work," he said. Assigned the task of filling the spot by June 1 is a nine-person search committeechaired by faculty member Loren Webb. Other panelists include Associated Students .President Dana Grant, students Ruth Norton and Ted Rust, faculty members Mary Mclntyre and Douglas Park, KeithGuy (university residences), Jack Smith (Viking Union administration) and Marilyn Peterson (careerplanning and placement). Saundra Taylor, directoijj| of Western's counseling center, will serve as interimvice president until Quinlan's successor is named. Taylor praised Quinlan for "leaving the division ingood shape," but echoed his concerns about the merger. "I think it would be almost impossible to doboth jobs," Taylor said. "I am concerned about it. The dean of students position was very critical to the smooth running of the division." Taylor went as far as to say she will look for a replacement for thecurrent acting dean of students Bob Thirsk, who is scheduled to step down April 1.

Speculation exists that Ramsey failed to get his papers extended and has sincereturned home to Victoria, British Columbia. A letter from Ramsey to the Front dated Dec. 28 failed togive the precise reasons for his departure. "Very few people realize what it is like to be an 'alien' in alarge and powerful nation like the U.S.A.," Ramsey wrote. "Although I have lived here almost continously since 1973, I am always the outsider, the crazy Canadian." Repeated attempts to reach Ramsey bytelephone were unsuccessful.

He was born Jan.1,1982 in Cnil-licothe, Ohio and had been a resident of Bellingham since 1963. Sigler had directednumerous plays since coming to Western in 1963. He had retired in June, 1982, for health reasons. "He had a reach beyond the normal director," former student and friend Larry Hopp siad. "He did shows noone else would touch," former theatre/- dance department head S.R. Car-lile said. Carlile listed Sigler'sbest productions as "The Hairy Ape" (1965 and 1966), "Imaginary Invalid" (May 1968), "Slow Dance onthe Killing Ground" (Feb. 1968) and a musical, "Ballad of Baby Doe" (1965). "Slow Dance" featuredWalter Smith, the first black actor at Western in a major role. Sigler earned his bachelor's and master of fine arts degrees from Tulane University and a Ph.D. from Stanford University. He also was as a WorldWar II veteran and a member of the Bellingham Theatre Guild. Tennessee Williams, one of Sigler'sfavorite playwrights, sat in on some of Sigler's productions while he was getting his masters. Sigler issurvived by his wife Eleanor, four daughters, two g r a n d c h i l d r e n and three brothers. At hisrequest, no services were held.

Grant called Quinlan "a plus" for students because of his access to keycommittees and administrators. He voiced fears that his replacement won't have the time to play asimilar role.

He alsopointed out the possibility of reorganizing the office of student life and said the issue of how the dean'sfunctions will be handled is "still up for discussion."

"I usually start the heart of. my studying at 10, then get kicked out of the library at 11. "Students in dorms could use a study area so they wouldn't disturb roommates."Keith said the Viking Union Coffee Shop would be an ideal place for a study area. It would allow students to drink coffee or smoke while studying, he said. Keith said he needs to talk to representatives of theSAGA Corp., or private vendors about providing food and drink facilities in a study area. A proposal for a 24-hour study area is pending before the Facilities and Services Committee and a subcommitteehas been created to discuss the proposal. Keith also said he believes expanded child care services arein great demand at Western. "Many parents who want to go to school can't because they have to carefor their child,"he said.

'Rough draft' proposal for tech curriculum circulatesBy Seth Preston A "very tough draft" of a pro posal for new technology curriculu-lum is circulating among technology faculty members, department chairman Paul Rainey said last week. Rainey said heplans to submit the proposal to the Council on Arts and Sciences Curriculum this quarter after receivingfaculty response. CASC approval would be the first step towards establishing new curriculum. "It'sjust plug-and-chug at this point," Rainey said. He currently plans for tech majors to take the same coreclasses, with a 15- credit concentration in areas such as fiber optics and telecommunications. Raineyand Western President G. Robert Ross have discussed possible options in optics with Joe Yaver,executive director of the Society of , Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers. SPIE, an interantionalorganization which manages the information transfer within the optical engineering field, located itsheadquarters^ in Bellingham in 1977. It continually has contributed monetary and equipment grants toWestern. Yaver said SPIE had obtained a wind tunnel for advance automobile experimentation forWestern's Vehicle Research Institute, supervised by tech faculty member Michael Seal. "We're aresource to the university, an educational resource," Yaver said. The society also has suggestedvarious "raw ideas" to Ross and Rainey pertaining to optics and plastics, he said. One such idea wouldinvolve Western's tech program acting as a neutral test and measurement group between manufacturers and purchasers of raw materials "We're trying to find some little cracks they could fill," Yaver said. "You might be able to find some income (for Western), give the students experience and give the university avaluable function."

Itcould develop into an institutional function, similar to the Vehicle Research Institute, if given time anda change in current practice, he said. Yaver said he and Brian Thompson, dean of the School ofApplied Science and Technology at the University of Rochester in New York, met with Ross somemonths ago to discuss further possibilities. "Optics is the fastest growing area in technology today,"Yaver said. "It may not be the biggest, but it's the fastest growing. . . T h e r e ' s a tremendous demand for optical engineering courses. "No school presently offers any (locally), although some are in theworks now," he said. "Unfortunately, the university has some constraints . . . it can't have opticalengineering." Only the University of Washington and Washington State University can offerengineering degrees due to legislative mandate, Rainey said. Yaver suggested Western could develop an optical technology degree, which concentrates more on applied techniques, rather than thetheoretical emphasis of engineering. "An optical tech major may be years away, unless there's atremendous demand,'' Rainey responded. "There has to be a committed interest from the university,"Yaver said.

"It is a bad system," said AngeloAnastasio, chairman of the anthropology department. The "15 percent rule" was repealed at thesuggestion of Vice President for Academic Affairs James Talbot. The policy made a certain number offaculty positions non-tenure track, or temporary jobs. The professor could have his contract renewed;but wasn't eligible for tenure and could be fired at the end of each year. Currently, 46 professors atWestern have such positions. Anastasio said professors in non-tenure track positions "very definitely"felt like second-class citizens among the faculty. Those people must constantly apply to keep their jobsor look for another one with more job security, Anastasio said. "It's kind of a limbo status, isn't it?" he said. "It's taking its toll on me psychologically," said Leslie Conton of the anthropology department.Conton has had a non-tenure track position since 1980. It has been, she said, "anxiety producing," for her and her students. When graduate students want to work with her, Conton said, "I feel obligated towarn them, I might not be here." Another professor who has been "frozen in space" is Dan Rothwell ofspeech. Since coming to Western in 1980 he constantly has been competing to keep his job despitethat his student evaluations have been excellent and one of his books was Book of the Quarter atWestern last year. "I've never been treated as a second-class citizen by the department," but Rothwellsaid it's sort of depressing to be told he has done a good job but still has to compete to keep it.Rothwell, like Conton, said it hasn't affected his performance in the classroom. But the uncertainty ofhis position "takes some motivation out of starting new things." Also, it is time-consuming to becompeting for a job, he said. Conton said she has spent a lot of time thinking about applying for otherjobs, but little time actually doing it. . "My real job is to be an anthropologist, not looking for work,"she said. She said some of her colleagues have urged her to concentrate on writing rather than teaching. Teaching is "almost irrelevant" she said, for job hunting in the academic world. Nevertheless, whilecontinuing to publish, Conton said she has focused on teaching, "because I love my job." Fordepartments, Anastasio said, the rule makes it difficult to recruit established professors to fill gaps in the departments curriculum. Talbot reasoned, however, that professors hired into non-tenure track positions must have been alright, because in some cases departments mounted campaigns to keep thosepeople, he said. "Yes, you can get good people," but, Anastasio said, "it limits the possibilities ofselection. William Stoever, chairman of liberal studies, said the rule affected his department's ability torecruit faculty members, especially in the social sciences. A difficulty in knowing how much it hurt,Stoever said, is that you don't know who hasn't applied because the position does not lead to tenure.Talbot, however, said Western usually was looking for people who had recently left graduate school.Those people could be recruited because of a shortage of jobs, he said. Anastasio agreed a shortage of jobs helped Western recruit people. "(But) is that the way to run a ship?" he asked. Professors whohave nontenure track positions will keep HEWJUtBYS MOW OPEN! 117 N.

Talbot said some positions still may be non-tenure track, but positions no longer will beautomatically designated so. An effort to rescind the rule failed in the senate last February. At thattime Talbot spoke against rescinding the policy. Since then, Talbot said he had reconsidered hisposition, so he brought the matter before the senate. The rule was implemented in 1976 to insure someturnover in faculty. Talbot explained that the percentage of tenured professors in 1976 was becoming sohigh that the university was in danger of being unable to hire anyone new. But now, Talbot said, theaverage age of Westerns faculty is 49.6, and many will retire during the next few years and that wiliensure a constant rate ot turnover. Day care abandoned; AS members leave By Jeffrey Andrews TheAssociated Students Board meeting of Dec. 6 ended abruptly when four board members walked out after AS President Dana Grant struck an infant day care issue from the agenda as an action item. A motionby former AS Vice- President for Internal Affairs, Ron Bensley, to have the item reinstated failed,prompting Bensley and fellow board members Gregg Sheheen, Peter Ramsey, and Daniel Pike to standup and leave. "I'm sorry, I have other commitments to take care of tonight," Bensley said, rising fromhis seat. "You guys have got things all screwed up," he added as he was leaving. "You assholes!"Bensley has since departed Western to serve a legislative internship in Olympia. He announced he wasresigning his AS position last November. Grant said he struck day-care from the agenda because themeeting was taking place during finals week. He said he thought the board members had verbally agreed to limit the meeting for the purpose of ratifying the special election. "I didn't think we were ready toconsider day care yet," Grant said later. "We hadn't received any written materials on it yet." Themeeting was attended by about 15 parents with infants who were angry with the meeting's abruptfinish. "That's bullshit," one parent yelled. Another left in tears. A formal infant day care proposal willbe considered by the board at its meeting at 6 p.m. tonight. Huff target of sex charge â€¢ HUFF, frompage 1 friend of mine. I was flattering her in a stupid way. What happened? Oh yes, I remember. I gaveher a kiss on the cheek." Giesler filed a second statement Nov. 7, 1983 charging that Huff called her athome and tried to convince her not to procede with the harassment complaint. Vice President ofAcademic Affairs James Talbot refused to comment on the case, except to say the matter had beendealt with. Huff said he has "no ill feelings" towards Giesler. "Why should I?" he asked. In an interviewwith the Front, Giesler criticized Huffs classroom behavior. She said he frequently stared at her, insultedstudents and embarrassed female class members by pointing at them. Giesler denied having a vendettaagainst Huff. "My whole point in bringing this about (the case) is to get help for Mr. Huff. And I wasn'tabout to be trampled on because I have rights a woman. I want to make other students aware. I wasamazed at the ignorance. Nobody knew you could anything..." Other students also said they have haddifficulty with Huff. Jan DeRoos, a senior English major who has had Huff for two classes (including 301this fall), praised Huffs approach to teaching, but said some women find him offensive. "He finds someyoung woman who he finds relatively attractive and sort of teases them in an affectionate way,"DeRoos said. "He makes comments that women who are paranoid construe.... as sexual harassment."Huff said he plans to resume teaching as early as Feb. 1. "I felt it (treatment) was necessary," he said,adding that alcohol abuse affected his teaching last quarter for "a little while-about six days." ActingDean of the College of Arts and Sciences Peter Elich described Huffs status as no different from any oneelse who has to miss work due to an illness. Elich said Huffs physician recommended he take a medicalleave., Huffs winter quarter courses will be handled by Jim Bertilino, an associate English professor onleave from the University of Cincinatti. Park said he did not know who will replace Huff as advisor ofJeopardy, an annual creative writing magazine published by Western students. Meanwhile, severalsources within the English department wished Huff the best. "He's not an evil person,'' said a staffmember close to Huff who asked not to be identified. "He's a sensitive, kind man. He has a problem."1 ^ t LSAT â€¢ MCAT â€¢ GRE ^ GRE PSYCH â€¢ GRE BIO MAT â€¢ GMAT â€¢ DAT OCAT - PCATâ€¢ VAT SSAT - PSAT â€¢ ACHIEVEMENTS NATL MED BOS â€¢ ECFMG FLEX â€¢ VQE â€¢ NOBâ€¢ RN BOS CPA* SPEED READING Â£3fenM KAPLAN â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ * EDUCATIONAL CENTER Test Preparation Specialists Since 1938 for inlorrhalion.

Opinion Tuesday, January 10, 1984Regardless of what prompted Vice President for Academic Affairs James Talbot to announce hisresignation last month, one thing is clearâ€”the ties to the era in which Talbot began his career atWestern have been severed. Both symbolicly and literally, Talbot will be remembered as a transitionalfigure. He joined the administration in the mid-1970s, at a time when the university was still growing,along with its expectations. He breifly served as president inl982 when Western still lay prostrate from astaggering series of budget cuts. And now he will leave as the university's purpose gradually is beingredefined. The job of articulating that purpose has been left to President G. Robert Ross a n d a freshslate of leaders who one by one will begin to appear on campus. Talbot always was willing to go to bat for the liberal arts, even w h e n it wasn't the expedient thing to do. That quality will be sorely missed. Talbot says his decision to step down from the vice presidency has nothing to with Ross s choice of policies;h e says he had thought about making plans to resign even before Ross came to office. That may betrue, although Talbot's public statements preceding the presidential search, bore few hints that he wascontemplating retirement from administrative work. Indeed, on one occasion, Talbot suggested to a Frontreporter that he would only s t ep down if h e found himself incompatible with the new president. It'sdoubtful, however, that any sort of irreparable rift has opened between Ross a n d Talbot. More likely,Talbot simply acquiesed to the inevitable: h i s way of doing things doesn't fit in well with the "new''Western that is steadily taking shape. As an institution designed to train people in ways most beneficialto society, Western must be able to adjust to changing times. We only hope that Wetern's new era ofleaders have a solid understanding of just where that change, freed of any countervailing balance, couldlead. About five months from now, President Ross will unveil his own selection to fill Talbot's slot. Don'texpect the newcomer to resemble his predecessor in anything but title. Rethink merger Looking to thepast for a solution to a tricky administrative problem is an important part of any executive's repertoire. We suspect, however, that University President G. Robert Ross neglected to consider the present when hechose to consolidate two positions whose functions are only loosely connected. Last month, Rossannounced plans to combine the offices â€¢of vice president for student affairs, and Dean of Students.Both positions recently have been vacated, the former by Tom Quinlan in favor of an administrativeposition at North Florida University and the latter by Tim Douglas, now mayor of Bellingham. Byeliminating one administrative job, Ross hopes to save the university about $20,0P0 a year. Unfortunatelyfor students, the merger will invite difficulties that likely will far exceed any savings. The two posts, asthey currently exist within the Student Affairs division, have little similarity to one another. Dean ofStudents Tim Douglas specialized in crises management , and dealing with individual problems that might otherwise go unaddressed. Quinlan, on the other hand, provided a valued voice for students in Western's administrative structure. Quinlan himself, has stated flatly that the merger creates an imposing challenge for his successor. Other administrat ors also have expressed reservations So aside from the savings,what prompted Ross to go ahead and combine the two posts? Turns out Ross himself filled bothpositions concurrently during his tenure at the University of Nebraska in the 1960s. One person can dothe job of two, he believes, because he has done it himself. Ross must be careful to remember, however,that Western is not the University of Nebraska. He might also note he has been here only for 11monthsâ€”years less than some of those whose judgement he has chosen to ignore. ft A CU)5^- Tive TO Th/fljK Afaur vexr Y ws C0Me* gt; our Mc?z gt;fto(/s { .â€ž life6 r trf - \ European 'hatred' of U.S. not as real as some prefer No one ever said that the Germans or the Dutch or the British had to be in love with the American way of doing thigs for the alliance among the western nations to be effective. That's why I can't help finding all the hoopla about the curious phenomena sweeping the European continent called "anti-Americanism" a bit amusing. A lot of Europeans don't want to see their homelands turnedinto nuclear ashtrays, an understandable concern that has prompted a lot of talking, a lot ofdoorbelling, and quite a few mass demonstrations. Some of the people who attend thesedemonstrations like to dress up in funny costumes and carry all sorts of signs, which, for what theyare worth, tell the world what the demonstrators think of the United States. These demonstrations,unfortunately, often capture the attention of media types, and are transmitted via television,newspapers and newsmagazines into the consciousness of millions of Americans. They are, however, hardly representative of the European peace movement. I spent the last three months studying andtraveling in West Germany, where deployment of American missies was most imminent, and theresistance most intense. Based only upon what I had read and heard about the attitude of West German young people toward Americans, when I arrived I half expected to see angry mobs of studentssurrounding the U.S. embassy in Bonn. Instead I found many of the peace activists to be "refreshingly open-minded. They harbored leg-iti. nate doubts about the aims and intentions of the Reaganadministration, and they were particularly distressed by the possibility of a U.S.-Soviet conflict limited tocentral Europeâ€” where virtually every major city still bears the physical scars of â€¢ See HATE, page 5 Communication breakdown increases nuclear tension "The state of our relationship (with the SovietUnion) is not because it's impossible to communicate, it's the substance that is giving the problem."So said Secretary of State George Schultz last month on the deterioration of U^S.-Soviet relations.Schultz is mistaken, however. While substance may be a problem, he fails to realize the reason thetwo administrations can't agree on anything is because they aren't communicating. Consider that threesets of U.S.Soviet arms talksâ€”talks on reducing intercontinental missies, medium-range missiesand troopsâ€”have collapsed in the last two months. That's communicating? What has led Schultz andvarious Pentagon officials to defend Western Front-the status of superpower relations are efforts byother nations to get the U.S. and U.S.S.R. back to the negotiation tables. Schultz claims these effortsare interfering in American affairs. But, again, he is wrong. A nuclear confrontation would affecteveryone. Therfore, it is everyone's concern. Of the many efforts to jump-start discussions among the nuclear powers, Canada's Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau has achieved the most progress. Trudeau hastraveled extensively to promote his peace initiative, meeting with leaders of four of the five nuclearpowersâ€”Great Britian, France, China and the United States. (The Soviets also desire to meet with him, but Yuri Andropov's health has so far rendered that impossible). In his initiative, Trudeau has calledfor a conference of the five nuclear powers to discuss arms limitations, a strengthening of the NuclearNon-proliferation Treaty and cuts in conventional forces in Europe. While his progress has been minimal the Canadian leader provides hope that all is not yet lost.

Dana Grantseems to be following in the footsteps of his predecessor as a rubber stamp and mouthpiece for theadministration, and has ignored the demands of student input for such things as the infant day-carecenter. Maybe he has his job in the administration already, and does not have to worry about what thestudents want to see done. I don't know, he never talks to his fellow Hatred of U.S. a myth â€¢ HATE,from page 4 World War II. But aside from the radical fringe element nobody really listens to anyway, the peace marchers with whom I spoke understood well the deep ties that bind the Western powers.Americans and Europeans share a common way of life very much worth protecting, and the existenceof open and constructive criticism is testament to the fact that liberal democracy is alive and well in thefree world. The idea of the United States as simply one of two faceless, imperialistic powers thatdominate the world today, with Europe as a divided cluster of undistinguish-able colonial subjects, fitsnicely with a lot of popular political notions: those who are gratified to learn that Americans are "hated''in West Germany just as much as say, Russians in Poland, can rest content that everything ourgovernment accuses the Soviets of doing is really just an exercise in hypocrisy, and that "we're just asbad as them." Don't kid .yourself. Western Europeans may be suspicious of their superpower ally, but at least they don't have to worry about their criticisms inviting a full-scale tank invasion. The "alliance''between the Soviet Union and the smaller nations of Eastern Europe has been forged by the hammer ofSoviet military might, a swift and certain instrument when used to deter acts of disobedience. In theWest, agreements have been reached through open discussion among popularly elected governments. That's why it's probably not a good idea to lose any sleep over reports that the Western alliance isdissolving into chaos. The citizens of Poland and Czechoslovakia long for the day when theirrelationship with the Soviet Union reaches a similar state of disarray. board members. But I would liketo remind the students of Western that it was the students who elected the Board of Directors, not Jack Smith, not the Board of Trustees nor the administration in Old Main. And if the students of Western arenot happy with the direction the AS is taking then the students have the right to protest, recall and todemand change. For a long time the Board of Directors have been accusing the student body of beingapathetic and not participating in student government. I contend that if the Board of Directors were to not encourage apathy of students participation in student government, the Board of Directors would beforced to act on student demands and would be removed from being a puppet of the administration.Yes, the Board of Directors is a puppet of the administration, and is rather gutless when it comes todoing anything remotely political or in the student's best interest. I encourage the students ofWestern to challenge the Board of Directors and to demand that their elected officials start representingthe people who elected them and who pay them. It's their time and it's their energy. Don't let a group ofself-appointed experts form policy that affects your school.

The presence of Warsaw Pact foreign ministers in Stockholm will make possible a forum in which to resume badly needed, high-level East-West political dialogue. Schultz and Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko likely will discover progress on arms control is more easily achieved whenthose concerned are willing to speak with each other. Hope exists on the issue of troop reductions aswell. One American official admitted "With 320,000 U.S. troops still in Europe, we have tremendousincentive to get t r o o p - r e d u c t i o n talks moving." The five-nation summit Tru-deau has called foris his most interesting, yet difficult, idea. Although the nuclear powers have expressed reservationsabout such a meeting, it might be realistic to expect one by 1985 or 1986. And because arms controlcan't be achieved without agreements from all nuclear powers, a summit is needed. (After all, theSoviets aren't about to cut their nuclear arsenal while China, Britain and France are allowed to add totheirs.)

WSL's state board met here Dec. 4 to approvethe package. Bad weather, however, prevented several members from attending, thus depriving themeeting of a quarum. The package was adopted after phone calls among the state board memb ers.After the meeting, Tina Abbott, Western representative on the board, predicted some of the package'spoints could be adopted by the Legislature, this year. These include elimination of the 18-credit lid,which allows extra fees to be charged for each credit taken above 18.

WSL also calls for legislation seeking tuition rates at 25 percent of instructional costs forUniversity of Washington and Washington State University students. That percentage should be 18percent for regional university students, the platform states. . Currently, UW and WSU students pay33 percent of their educational costs. Regional university students pay 25 percent. An operating feecharged to students who take fewer than two credits should be eliminated, the package says. This feemainly applies to community college students, Abbott said. Other package points were vaguely worded. No specific bills were in mind when these points were written, Abbott said, although they can beadjusted to support or opppose any bills introduced. Such points support "increased stipends forresearch and teaching assistants that match any increases in educational costs, inflation and thecost of living." WSL also urges "special attention be given to student services and its level of funding.Particular attention should be given to minority students and the level of funding for them." The lobbyopposes laws that require male students to show proof of Selective Service registration to receivefinancial aid and supports legislation that will enhance student employment opportunities. WSLpromises to work for tax reforms and gaining public s u p p o r t to help higher education. The call forstudent members on universities' Boards of Trustees probably won't be realized for a few years, Abbott said. Board members discussed the views of state legislators and others on the issue, finding someopposed to the idea and others in favor. They agreed to lobby those who are opposed. 'V^UASE FIRST!"

Magnolia Senate group studies others Here's one for bureaucracy lovers: A committee created by the Faculty Senate Executive Council to study committees that report to the Faculty Senate isexpected to submit its report sometime this week. The committee on committees was originally askedto better define responsibility and authority in faculty matters, Chairman Al Froderberg said. It wasalso asked to consider ways to improve communications in the reporting process. Senate PresidentHugh Fleetwood said he had "no very particular purpose" in creating the group. He had foundmemorandums written by past Senate presidents suggesting that a study should be undertaken. "It'sa matter of cleaning up what we had, rather than the proposing of something new," Fleetwood said. "It'sbeen on the back burner for two or three years," Froderberg said of the study. "We expect them tocome up with something of interest," Fleetwood said. "But probably nothing urgent or dramatic." Thereport could include information on such subordinate bodies as the Academic CoordinatingCommission, the Planning Council, the Business and Finance Council and the AppointmentsCommittee, Froderberg said.

Western's policyof considering coursework difficulty rather than strictly GPA helps thwart those high school students who pad their GPA's with P.E. classes and other easy courses, Admissions Director Richard Riehl saidRiehl said Westerns Admissions Office first considers the grade point of an applicant, and if it is above 2.5 the applicant's coursework is checked to determine if the majority of those courses differ fromthose recommended by Western. If they do, the student's records are examined by a member of theadmissions commission who determines whether a student's grades in easy courses are consistentwith those in more difficult ones. Students whose grades in difficult courses contrast sharply withthose in easy ones may not be admitted, Riehl said. Riehl said Western's admission procedurerepresents a middle ground in the state. Washington State University, Eastern Washington Universityand Central Washington University all base entrance strictly on a 2.5 cumulative grade point average,while the University of Washington utilizes subject requirements, he said. Western's admissionspolicy is helpful in that it gives students and the general public the proper impression that Wetem isinterested in quality, Riehl said. Most high school students tend to agree that coursework evaluationis fair, Riehl said, and complaints are mainly limited to those who were not admitted. Riehl said thosewho are not accepted and choose to attend community college instead often realize some time later that they would not have been able to perform satisfactorily at Western upon graduating from high school. The coursework evaluation procedure has been in effect for about five years, Riehl said. Although itseffectiveness cannot be (easily) measured, Western's entering freshmen last year were second only tothe UW in grade point average, an indication that many of the state's top students are being attracted toWestern. Summit slated for high-tech programchairmen Rv Ron Judd versity technology degree pro-legis- want," he said. are not adequately funded now. By Ron Judd y *!. Â»d Â£ n . can b e p u r s u e d .â€¢ . Uhlman said state universities By Ron Judd Plans for new technology programs at Westernshould be clarified within two weeks at a regional university "summit conference.'' The conference,called by the program review committee of a state-wide high-tech coordinating board, will be attendedby technology department chairmen from each of the state's regional universities. The coordinatingboard, staffed by Council for Postse-condary Education personnel and industrial representatives, wascreated last year by a legislature "flooded with regional university gram requests," said Uhlman,CPE senior program officer. The board must decide which universities if any, should expand in high-techareas. The summit conference will allow regional university representatives and state officials todetermine technology program needs and avoid program duplication. It also may prompt Western's firstpresentation of definite plans for new technology programs to the state. Those plans must be approved by the CPE, a body that coordinates and determines the needs of state universities, beforelegislative funding can be pursued. Western has yet to submit a concrete proposal to the CPE, but"we have been notified that they intend to seek our advice," Uhlman said. Once Western does seekCPE advice, its tech proposal will undergo a rigorous review by the CPE to determine if Western hasaccess to adequate facilities and funding. Facilities would* be a major consideration in a CPE review,Uhlman said. Western indirectly has expressed the need for new facilities, but "we have not seen formalplans as to what they Uhlman said he would expect any need for new facilities to be included inWestern's proposal to CPE. Another major consideration in the CPE's decision to approve Western'splans will be the likelihood of the Legislature funding the program. An inadequately funded program will "dilute the soup" at Western, Uhlman said. "The state has to be willing to commit the funds," he added. "A lot of existing high-tech programs are not adequately funded now." Uhlman said state universitiesmay have gone too far too quickly in planning new high-tech programs. "Everybody's been lulled into a'high-tech hype," he said. "They think it's the real bandwagon to be on, but it's becoming clear that(Washington) is not going to be the high-tech area that people perceive it to be....the people at Westernare aware of our concerns on this."

Since George Orwell wrote "1984," development of the book's futuristic ideas have beenwatched and discussed. Students in Fairhaven seminars this quarterare examining the ideas presented in the book and going a step further to probe the future. The Fairhaven faculty decided to_offer theseminars last winter quarter. Fairhav-en's Kathryn Anderson said classes usually are separate incontext, but the opportunity to unite the seminars with one broad topic, 1984, is beneficial to students.Students learn best when they are interested and motivated to study, she said. Fairhaven professor John McClendon said the main theme is a future vision, and Orwell's vision definitely is of the future. Othervisions such as Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" and Zamyatan's "We" will be discussed inMcClendon's class. He teaches "The 1984 Program: Films and Lectures" seminar. The class theme issocial control works in 1984 (the year, not the book.) Films such as "O Lucky Man," "Network" and"China Syndrome" will be shown on video tape. A joint grant with the University of Washington and TheEvergreen State College was applied for from the Washington State Commission on Humanities. Thegrant, which would have allowed Fairhaven and the other two colleges.to share films and speakers, was not made available. Fairhaven, however, will try to share speakers with Evergreen, McClendon said.Studying language for three weeks is the first part of Kathryn Anderson's class "1984: Politics andLanguage." It is not the work that sets the definition, but the situations in which it is used. Andersonsaid the class will look at structure and how persons with power use language to manipulate or define acrisis. "Does control of language lead to control of thought?" and "what is political language?" will besome questions discussed. One student is doing an independent study for 15 credits by taking all theseminars. Pliny Keep, a sophomore Fairhaven major, got the idea for an independent study when helooked through the Fairhaven catalog and realized the classes Fairhaven classes discuss Orwell's1984 prophecy 1984 ignorance %% **owLÂ£t gt;qe v/ut is reAce SLAveAxJz** ratZOOM o o 33 Ooffered interested him and included areas of his strengths. The seminars are transformation classes andinclude his interest of system thinking, a principle of looking at different view points of a subject. In thiscase the subject is 1984, he said. Transformations in society from 1948 to 1984 is one area Keep willstudy. How society communicates is another area Keep will focus, and he will look at the newspeak oftoday's society and Orwell's picture of society. Students of the 1984 seminar classes will submit essays about their views of 1984 and the future to Keep. He will choose and edit the essays for the publication entitled "Fairhaven Perspective of 1984." It will be available sometime spring quarter. A bulletin boardwith thoughts about 1984 from students and magazine (Time) articles is located in the Fairhavenbuilding. Applying what Keep learns from his study of the 1984 seminars to his personal life also willbe a focus. He plans to work with nuclear freeze movement and recycling. "1984:Truth, Society and theindividual," taught by Robert Keller, is not necessarily a course about the book "1984," he said. Theclass will examine problems of truth and falsehoods. Discussions will consider questions such as "canyou justify lying," "can the government suppress information" or "what about advertising misconceiving the public?" Keller said, that in the novel, government defines all truth. Questions defining truth orfalsehoods don't occur because the government can decide. But that example is extreme, Kellersaid. The first class to graduate from Fairhaven in 1969 planned a class reunion for Aprils Fools' Day1984, McClendon said. Gary Bornzin, who is teaching "1984: Futures" with Rick Klaastad, a student,said the future is a relevant topic to our lives because we are all going into it. "Core: InterdisciplinaryPerspectives: 2020 Vision," also taught by Bomzin and Michael Burnett is not included in the 1984seminars but it will investigate 36 years ahead to 2020. An apppropriate book of the quarter would be"1984" and that it is. William Scott of documents in the Library said no panel discussion will be plannedthis quarter because of the seminars offered by Fairhaven. The book is being highlighted so everyonewill read it, he said. Doublethink, Newspeak: graffiti-to-be Editor's Note: For those who refuse to read the book, but are curious to know what it is about (i.e.: who is Big Brotherâ€”that most likely soon-to-beprominent graffiti board subject?), here are some highlights. It should be noted that the highlights donot give justice to the book. "1984" was written in 1948â€” Orwell switched the last two digits to getthe prophetic yearâ€”and takes place approximately in the year 1984. "It must be round about that datesince he (Winston Smith, hero) was fairly sure that his age was thirty-nine, and he believed that he hadbeen bom in 1944 or 1945; but it was never possible nowadays to pin down any date within a year ortwo." The book's setting is London, which is-part of Oceania. The other two countries in the world areEurasia and Eastasia. Oceania always is at war with one other countries for the good of the economy.At the beginning of the book the enemy is Eurasia. At the end it is Eastasia. All citizens agree that theenemy always has been the" enemy no matter what country is being fought. Also the government iscorrect, always has been correct and never says anything incorrect. If Eastasia is the enemy, then italways has been, though Eurasia was the enemy the day before. Doublethink is the thought processthat allows this to make sense. It follows, therefore, that when the Party and Big Brother say "two andtwo make five," then it is so. Smith writes as he begins his rebellion that freedom is the ability to saytwo and two make four. The Party, however, says something different. It has three slogans thatdefine the society. "WAR IS PEACE, FREEDOM IS SLAVERY, IGNORANCE IS, STRENGTH." BigBrother is the head of the Party. The Enemy of the People is Emmanuel Goldstein. All citizens arerequired to attend the Two- Minute Hate program directed toward the enemy every day. The governmentof the party has four ministries. The ministries of Truth, Peace, Love and Plenty. Their purposes arequite the opposite, in terms of doublethink. In Newspeak, the official language of Oceania, they arereferred to as minitrue, miniwar, miniluv and miniplenty. Newspeak is in the process of being put tocommon use, but most people in "1984s" 1984 use Oldspeak, which is standard English. Newspeakis designed to give the people a more efficient way of speaking but at the same time limits undesirablethoughts by eliminating words that describe them. If Newspeak was spoken bv everyone, no one couldhave any but good Party thoughts. Words such as bad could be replaced by ungood. Other words usedinclude goodthink (orthodoxy), bellyfeel (enthusiastic acceptance), oldthink, sexcrime, thoughtcrimeand duckspeak. In Oceania everyone has a telescreen that continuously transmits party messagesand through which the Thought Police watch for wayward citizens who might commit thoughtcrime."You had to liveâ€”did live, from habit that became instinctâ€”in the assumption that every sound youmake was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized." "Big Brother is watchingyou." ---------- Western Front - 1984 January 10 - Page 9 ---------- Tuesday, January 10, 1984 Western Front 9 Season ends, fans stunned By the Front staff The mood inthe Viking Union Lounge hadn't been this somber since the Russians unleashed a nuclear attack onKansas City during November's showing of the television movie, "The Day After." This time, thedevastation was delivered by the Los Angeles Raiders, and the unwitting victims were the SeattleSeahawksâ€” and their fans. About 25 stunned rooters on Sunday watched in silent disbelief as thesilver and black from Tinseltown roughed up the Hawks, 30-14. By halftime, pockets of optimismpersisted, but optimism wasn't enough. "If they come out fired up in the third quarter they might have a chance," Western student Dave Welchi observed, as the big screen flashed an imposing 20-0 deficit.Greg Weigel took a more realistic approach. "I kind of figured the Seahawks would get blown out," hesaid. "They're in over their heads." The mood was much the same at the Sigma dorm lounge, whereabout 15 students gathered for an afternoon that fell far short of its expectations. Dave Krieg, thedarling of Seahawk fans for his stunning performance in an upset victory over Miami the week before,drew boos and catcalls when he was intercepted by the Raiders for a third time. "Put (Jim) Zorn in," onefan shouted, referring to the longtime Seahawk starter who lost his job to Krieg earlier thisyear. "Gottaput Zorn in," another fan chimed in. Zorn eventually entered the game, and much to the fans' delight, heled the Seahawks to a third-period touchdown that closed the gap to 27-7. But Zorn, too, experiencedhis share of difficulties against an aggressive Raider pass rush, and one fan demanded the Seahawks put in Warren Moon, the former Washington Husky star who still is with the Canadian Football League. Asthe game progressed toward its inevitable conclusion, disgust turned to sarcasm. ' 'We've got themomentum now,'' one person yelled after two straight Zorn completions. At Shakey's on Samish Way,where a predominantly college crowd jammed the area in front of the pizza parlor's giant screen, theattitude was even more bitter, Frustration mounted as the Seahawks made mistake after mistake. Fansfound release in ghoulish cries of glee as a Raider clutched his knee after being hit be a Seattleplayer. "Hurt'em . . . break his neck . . . get'em when he's down," punctuated every darting move ofstar Raider running back Marcus Allen. In the eyes of some fans, the Hawks could do no right. ASeattle receiver leaped to catch a pass. Airborne, he stretched out parallel to the turf. He wassandwiched by two Raider defenders as the ball skidded off his fingertips. "Should have had it," ananguished patron said, as he spilled a beer down his shirt Twelve hundred miles to the south, amid thecomfortable climate of Southern California, a lot of Raider fans undoubtedly were in a state of rejoice. AtWestern/however, the Seahawks impossible-dream season had come to an end-about three weekslater than anyone had dared predict. Enthusiam was high as many old and new Seahawk fans gatheredthroughout the campus Sunday for the American Football Conference championship game against theLos Angeles Raiders. In Hig-ginson Hall (top) a fan seems mesmerized by the action. Other fans lt;were excited and expectant that their team would come through by the end. In Nash Hall Lounge acircular arrangement of couches held rather quiet, somber fans as the reality struck that things weren 'tgoing to improve. The Seahawks succumbed to the powerful Raider machine, losing 30-14. Writer wearsSeahawk eggs I relished Sunday mornings when I was growing up. To me, nothing was better thanspending the day around the house, watching football games and gorging myself on mom's cooking.One of her specialties was bacon and eggs. I'm willing to put her eggs against the best in the world. They were so good (still are, by the way) I'd often find myself going back to the kitchen more than once forextra helpings. As much as I loved mom's over-easy's, however, I never imagined they'd wind up on myface. I am a slob, but I managed to hit my mouth. ' By Steve Rupp So what am I doing talking abouteggs on the sports page? Well, much to my chagrin, and the rest of the National Football League, theSeattle Seahawks have managed to make me eat my words. By making it to the American FootballConference championship game after two nice playoff victories, the Seahawks truly have made the firstfledgling steps on the road to becoming a consistently respectable team. They finished with a winningrecord after last season's debacle, which has put a large amount of cholesterol on my front. Yes, sportsfans, I'm big enough to admit I completely underestimated Dave Krieg's ability to deliver. 3D O Although he can get the job done, Krieg still has a tendency to self-destruct. Sunday's game against the Raidersand the game he played in Denver this season are examples. I realize all you loyal Seahawk fans areready to scream, but I feel the Seahawks would be smart to buy, trade or steal another quarterback. After Sunday's game, it's obvious, even to his fans, that Jim Zorn will never be the competent understudyquarterback every NFL team needs. Though he managed to guide Seattle to its only scores against arugged Raider defense, his scrambling around will never fit head coach Chuck Knox's conservativesystem. Knox probably is the best thing to happen to Seattle since the Sonics won the NationalBasketball Association championship in 1979. His role in Seattle's rise to power has been welldocumented and deservedly so. His ability to find the right people to get the job done and insert them atthe right time has been perfect. Other role players have been inserted skillfully. Dan Doornik has thrivedcoming out of the backfield, David Hughes has done some fine power running and veteran Cullen Bryanthas blocked with power and finesse in Knox's revolving fullback offense. It's not a big deal thecombination worked so well, it's that Knox molded all three players to their different roles. His ability toget the most out of Seattle's talent could be his biggest asset. All in all, I must admit that this Seahawkteam is one of the four best teams in the NFL. ---------- Western Front - 1984 January 10 - Page 10 ---------- 10 Western Front Tuesday, January 10, 1984 Sports Viking women continue to conquer By Steve RuppWinning streaks are nice to have. They improve a team's chances of being ranked nationally and,provided the team is a bona fide winner, they always get longer. Both cases are true for the Westernwomen's basketball team. Thanks to their current streak, now at 11 games, they've been ranked 20th inthe first regular season National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics poll. While most of the studentpopulation was shivering through the Christmas cold spell, Head Coach Lynda Goodrich and companywere basking in the heat on an extended road trip to. northern California where she picked up her250thvictory as a coach. The Vikings' 64-60 victory over California State University at Sacramento put her over the mark. Those victories also place her in the top 15 in coaching victories as the 11th winningest coach in both NAIA and National Collegiate Athletic Association women's basketball. Othervictories during theCalifornia trip include CSU at Chico 65-57, and Sonoma State 61-54. After the Sacramento game, theVikings took almost three weeks off before taking on the University of British Columbia in Vancouver.They showed a few signs xÂ»f rust in the first half, but came out smoking in the second and reeled off 20 unanswered points to cruise to their second victory of the season over UBC. As in the UBC firstgame, senior center Lana Hamilton led the Vikings in scoring with 18 points while guard Susie Millerhanded out five assists. She currently leads the team with 39, averaging almost four per game. Leadingthe team in shooting is forward Teresa Willard. While shooting 54 percent from the floor, she's scoring 10 points per game, just percentage points behind perennial leader Lori deKubber who is scoring at a10.4 clip. Western center Anne Cooper (50) and teamate Liz Armstrong (10) do battle inside againstWhitworth. Western won the game 60-49. deKubber, who is normally a fast starter, came out of the gateslowly this season. But against Gonzaga University she came out sizzling and hit 10 of 15 shots fromthe floor enroute to a game-high 21 points while dishing out six assists. The night before, againstWhitworth, the junior from Snohomish was hot once more, cruising to 10 points on a five of seven nightfrom the floor. Despite deKubber's scoring, the Vikings had to scramble, winning 68-62 against Gonzaga and 60-49 against Whitworth. Another aspect that's been hurting the Vikings lately has been poorrebounding on the offensive end of the floor. Against Gonzaga, Western could only manage four offensive rebounds and were out-rebounded 47-30 overall. Center Anne Cooper played superbly against Gonzaga, scoring several crucial baskets down the stretch to hold off a late rush by the Bulldogs. It appeared thatGoodrich, like so many coaches, was worried about her squad peaking early and might have allowedthem to get a little rusty, but sophomore center Anne Cooper discounted that idea. "We're just starting to play tougher teams," Cooper said. "We've also added a few new offenses." Goodrich echoed Cooper'sthoughts, saying the Viking guards played well against Gonzaga. "I'm pleased with the team'senthusiasm and concentration," Goodrich said after the game. "We've been defensed differently,that's good for us." The victories improve Western's record to 11-1 overall with a perfect 5-0 District Islate. The women hit the road for a pair of games this weekend, playing against Central WashingtonUniversity Jan. 14 and Lewis and Clark State Jan. 16, before coming home for two games Jan. 20 and21 against the University of Puget Sound and Pacific Lutheran University Busy slate primes cagers forvital conference games Senior forward David Strathy(*30) battles chieftan Ray Brooks (*21) for a reboundas Dave Anderson (*25) looks on. By Dan Ramsay A full slate of action kept Western's men'sbasketball team busy this past holiday season. After three straight wins to start the season, Westernlost four out of five, then won four straight to bring the season win-loss record to 8-4. The Vikings endedan 11-day layoff when they traveled to Pacific Lutheran University Dec. 10. In a high-scoring game,PLU prevailed 111-86. "It didn't have to be as lopsided as it turned out, but we gambled and made itlike that," said head coach Bill Westphal. Three nights later in Burnaby, British Columbia, Simon Fraser University was the spoiler, beating the Vikings 73-64.' "We just really got cold. We should havebeaten them up there," Westphal said. On Dec. 17, Western rebounded to beat St. Martin's College inLacey, 58-56. Bob Peters paced the win with 15 points and 11 rebounds while Greg Lanbrecht handedout six assists in his debut starting role. He replaced Rick Wills, who suffered a stress fracture inhis right foot and has yet to return. Lambrecht, who leads the team in assists with 53 in 12 games,admitted he is happy to be in the starting line-up, despite the injury to Wills7"We're playing really wellright now ant it's nice to get a chance to show what I can do out there." A Dec. 19 loss to the University of Puget Sound was as close as the score indicates. A last second shot by Todd Bailey failed to dropand Western lost a game it could just as easily have won. A red-hot Bailey finished with 22 points on 11for 14 shooting. But Bailey suffered an ankle sprain in practice the same week and missed the Dec. 22,52-44 home court loss to Whitworth College. Then the Vikings got hot and won the Bellingham HeraldHoliday Invitational Basketball Tournament Dec. 28-30. A 60-57 win over California State Universityat Sacramento and an 82-67 victory overLinfield College won the title for the Vikings. Two morevictories after the start of winter quarter have build the current winning streak to four games. Ingames against College of Great Falls and Seattle University last Tuesday and Saturday, respectively,Western has been playing the kind of basketball it must to win. Good shot selection, limitedmistakes and the spread offense were key weapons in those two victories. First half attempts at theslowed-down game against Great Falls met with disapproving crowd reaction and cost the Vikingsseveral turnovers as the Argos overcame a 14-0 Viking start. Western took a 29-26 lead at the halfand won going away 72-54. Bailey and DeFranco each scored 22 points while Peters and Lambrechteach handed out six assists and Peters grabbed 10 rebounds. The same consistent attack spelleddoom for Seattle. Bailey, whose season average now is 19 points per game on 60 percent shooting, hitnine of 13 shots and finished with 26 points. DeFranco added 17 points and 7 assists while Lambrechthad 7 assists and Peters had 14 points and 7 rebounds. Seattle took an 18-10 lead, but the Vikingshung tough, scoring 10 straight en route to a 26-23 halftime lead. Clutch shooting by Bailey and reserveguard David Cooper helped Western outscore the Chiefs by 10 in the second half as the glided to a 78-65 victory and a 2-3 record in National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics District 1 competition.After the Seattle game Westphal summed up the team's early season hopes. "We're probably pickedfifth or sixth but I'd like to see us get up to third or fourth. DeFranco gave the team version of highhopes. "This game was really important because of our record. We know we can win our share of league games and get in the playoffs. And once we get in the playoffs, anything can happen." Bailey summedit up simply by calling the Seattle game "the turning point of our season." The Vikings played at Seattle Pacific University last night but results were not available at press time. On Saturday Western heads to Ellensburg to play Central Washington University in a 7:30 p.m. contest. Next home action is at 7:30p.m. Jan. 20 against PLU in Carver Gym. ---------- Western Front - 1984 January 10 - Page 11 ---------- Tuesday, January 10,1984 Western Front 11 Western cops title at Holiday Invitational By Dan RamsayWhile much of the campus community was away celebrating the holiday season, the Western Vikingswere celebrating a championshipâ€”The Bellingham Herald Holiday Invitational Basketball Tournament. The Vikings on the strength of impressive victories over California State University at Sacramento60-57 and Linfield College 82-67, capturerd the college division crown in the second annual event atCarver Gym Dec. 28-30. Meanwhile, Lakeside of Seattle defeated Bellingham 60-42, in the high schooldivision title game. lege 82-67, captured the college division against Sacramento, aided by a hustling, scoring John DeFranco, to upend the Hornets in the featured game of opening night action. Defrancofinished with 25 points in the contest and was later named the tournament's most valuable player. Earlier the first evening Lakeside spilled Sehome to earn its berth to the championship game. On the second night of the three-day tournament, Linfield disposed of Simon Fraser 57-52 in the college game whileBel-lingam dumped Lynden 72-53 in the high school game. The final day of tournament action was filledwith four gamesâ€”two consolation and two championship. In the high school consolation matchup,Sehome avenged a regular season loss to Lynden by dumping the Lions 86-79. Sacramento took a third-place finish in the college division with a victory over Simon Fraser. DeFranco and center Bob Frankspaced the Vikings against Linfield with 16 points apiece. Forward Bob Peters pulled down 14 reboundsto set a tourney record and earn a spot on the all-toumament team alongside teammate DeFranco.Praising his team's play and the community reaction to the tournament, Viking head coach BillWestphal stressed the .importance of getting exposure in a high-school oriented community. "I thoughtsome of those fans would enjoy watching Western and I heard that after the (championship) game. Theywere kind of surprised that we played well and and we won and were exciting." Westphal also is pleased that the tournament is being moved to the first week in December in 1984. "It's got to be betterbecause I'd like our students to realize that the basketball season starts before January 10." "That waspretty fun. We had some tough games and that Sacrmento game, I felt was one of our better games,"DeFranco said. "What won it for us was our spread. We haven't met anyone who can handle it yet." The5-foot-9-inch guard collided with 6- foot-7-inch Hornet Vernon Durham in the final minute of the game andwas momen-tairly stunned as blood oozed from a forehead wound. DeFranco recovered, hit both free-throws on the foul by Durham and was treated at St. Luke's hospital after the game. The Viking spreadoffense gave the larger Hornets trouble and was equally difficult for Linfield. The exciting action camewhen opponents tried to stop it (the spread offense) and DeFranco or fellow guard Greg Lambrecht put on dribbling exhibitions while draining precious time off the clock. The tourney title, a strong show ofsupport by local fans, and an ideal date for next year's tournament all spell success for the future ofthe Western Vikings. Guard Greg Lambrecht (12) gets advice from head Coach Bill Westphall.

Ogle To artist Jerry Allen Gilmore, opening his latest exhibit, "New Work," at the Viking UnionGallery is like coming home again. Gilmore, who received a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in 1979, said he isimpressed with Western's art department faculty, particularly the work of Gene Vike, Homer Weinerand Bob Jensen. He has worked with each one and the instructors have strongly influenced his art.Gilmore's work is a blend of fiber and paint. Using various methods and technical processes Gilmorecreates a continual process of discovery that leads him to new creations. Gilmore said his experiencewith batik enables him to use a process similar to stenciling to produce the repetition of images, andcreating subtle differences in each one. VU Gallery Director William Wasson said he likes Gilmore's use of various techniques. "He combines batik, drawing and spray paint. He's innovative. What he did inone picture goes into the next one." Of his entire exhibit Gilmore said his favorites are "Pain In Art andGrey" and "When Enemies Wear Masks." He said that Photo by Elisa Claassen "Untitled" is Jerry Allen Gilmore's way of relieving "zombies'' after his father's death. His exhibit "New Work" continues in the VUGallery through Jan. 20, 1984.

Much of Gilmore's work is emotional, reflecting his experiences. Gilmore's father was in a Japanese prison camp during World War II. Throughout the exhibit images of barbed wire, planes anddogs express the violence and trauma of his father's imprisonment. For example, the image of a dog is a symbol of violence. When Gilmore was a child he and his brothers played war. His mother never allowed them to pretend to shoot one another so they pretended to shoot dogs instead. From then on the imageof a dog represented a threat. In reality, Gilmore loves dogs. The stark images in "Untitled" come fromthe experience of both his father and stepfather dying of cancer within a two-year period. A protrait of aman's head reveals what an individual looks like just before dying of cancer. He said some of his workwith these images is his way of getting the "zombies" out. Gilmore also writes poetry. With friendCynthia Lee Barber, who performed at Mama Sunday's last Friday, his poetry becomes music. Barbersaid Gilmore is good at images in his poetry and she takes them and uses her artistic creativity tocompose a song. Before Barber met Gilmore she hadn't delved "full-hearted" into her music. ThenGilmore's poetry spurred her to continue Gilmore and Barber's music has received good reviews and they plan to record soon; Gilmore's "New Work" exhibit continues through Jan. 20.

But if you do want to see one ofthe better modern-day thrillers to reach as far north as Bellingham, by all means do see 'Christine." ThisJohn Carpenter (Halloween) directed horror story of a possessed automobile is entertaining, trite andcliche. The story, based on the book "Christine" by Stephen King, depicts a high school loser, ArnieCunningham (Keith Gordon), and his affection for his car. The plot develops into a full-scale monstermovie - with the car in top billing. The first sight of "Christine" reveals she is something special. A custom cherry-red paint job with big white stripes along each side of the freshly-minted killer stands out amongyellow 1958 Plymouth Fury. This opening scene, accompanied by the rocking beat of "Bad to the Bone," by George Thorogood, makes no secret defining who is boss around this vehicle - "Christine." In 1978,seventeen-year-old, bespectacled Arnie pays $250 for a broken-down, rusted-out "Christine." Hisseemingly toolish purchase is met with opposition by his jock friend Dennis (John Stock-well) andlater, his parents. Emerging from the first of several battles with the folks is just the beginning of Amies180-degree personality swing. Not permitted to keep the carat the house, Arnie rents a space at the do-it-yourself garage run by a crusty Will Darnell (Robert Prosky). Darnell gives the kid a rude initiation tothe junkyard laws, showing disrespect to "Christine." His choice of words is amusing and vulgar,unrepeatable in this publication. The high school scenes from this California town of Rockbridge seemquite real and somewhat nostalgic. Dennis, a football star, is just one of the cliche characters. The gang'of thugs; the girlfriend and the Joe Cool Arnie are the others. â€¢ See CHRISTINE, page 15 Historicalphotos destined for display after decade By Don Jenkins On the first floor of the Miller Hall tower hangsa new set of photographs. Well, make that a rediscovered set of photographs. In 1969 the art that graces Western's official stationery- SkyVlewing Sculpture by Isamu Noguchiâ€”was installed. The work wasdone in conjunction with the building of Miller Hall, Bond Hall and Red Square. The architect of thosebuildings, Ibsen Nelson, commissioned Mary Randlett, a long-established photographer, to takesome photos of the SkyViewing Sculpture's construction and dedication. "A very fine, set ofphotographs," said Dave Marsh of the art department, about the display of progressive black blocksacross the white walls of Miller Hall. In fact, the photos were so fine that before they were hung up,Randlett displayed them in exhibitions including several in New York City.

And in crates they stayed until last quarter. Then, a student asked the chairman of the ArtAcquisition Committee, Richard Francis, where the Randlett photos were. Francis said he couldn'tremember her name, but the student's mother is a friend of Randlett in New York, he said. Franciscalled the photos historically important to Western, but when they came back from New York theywere "mysteriously put in a closet in the art department, where they have sat." The inquiry sparked aquick search, which uncovered the long-forgotten photos. The collection was promptly hung on thewall Nelson had intended for them more than 10 years ago. For those who enjoy Randlett's photos of the Noguchi sculpture, more of her work will be appearing on campus soon. Has Western commissioned Randlett to take some more photos? No, but a collection of photos by Randlett depicting Northwestartists at work was shipped to Western at the same time as the Noguchi photos. Francis explained thatthey were recently discovered "in the deep recesses" of the Art Technology building. It has not beendetermined where they will be displayed.

X-15 had "Vaporized," Pudz had "Take meto ^ Leader," and most recently, Allies scrapped the Silent Pa: concept album in favor of extendedversion of "Em: Peel." "Life in the Twilight Z doesn't need to be on Auf Savant. If only because it isnews, it is the weakest cut on album. The idea that this will hit a national audie unfamiliar with "TwilightZo is more fantasy than real Besides, the four new songs the disc stand strongly on thi own quality. "Iwalk a Fine Line," psuedo-reggae song about son with a bad temper wh every day on the verge of co.ting violent acts. "Some people get in my I have to shoot 'em do Sometimes it's not my d I walk a veryfine line." "The Cure" is a beautiful b of soul searching reflection person's life goals and desires,exemplifies Rebecca Hamilton' gifted lyric-writing ability am Pamela Golden's sweet vocal; Golden'sguitar on this tune ha: an almost balalaika-like quality t it. Each song on this album centers on ametaphor describing a certain aspect of life in an indi long way And'I've been looking back More than Ican say a cure, that's so hard to find." The complex nature of the Targets' rhythms is exposed inAffectic ton's bass line standing alone, sounding nothing like the tune the listener anticipates. hen thesecond layer of Ron mons' drumming is added ^ finally the last layer of Pamela Aden's guitar makes"Candid fection" complete. The com-exity of the music is such that, nlike most bands, any onenstrument on its own sounds completely foreign to the song all are combined together r the desiredeffect. Autistic Savant was produced Mick Ronson who in the past s worked for David Bowie and lHunter. It's a wonderful bum. However, it gives an image the Visible Targets contrary to their liveperformance image and the first four song disc released 1982.

Vol. 75,No. 51 Outdoor rally lacks hostility Students protested with their signs rather than theirvoices duringFriday's rally in Red Square. The first speaker, Chuck Fop ofpolitickl science,raised sewraTquestidhs By Pat Bulmer The turnout was largeâ€”more than 200 people. The topic was controversialâ€” UnitedStates' intervention in Grenada, Lebanon and Central America. But, despite this, Friday's noon-timerally in Red Square was a surprisingly subdued affair. Neither the crowd nor the four speakers at theevent seemed particularly hostile to the U.S.'s latest military move. Associated Students PresidentDana Grant, co-sponsor of the event with Soren Ryherd, AS vice president for academic affairs, saidthat's because many people haven't formed an opinion on the Grena-dian invasion. A few people at therally, however, left no doubt as to which side of the issue they stood. Peter Ramsey, AScommunications director, toted a sign that read "Blood of 700 Grenadians on Reagan!" A swastikawas painted by Reagan's name. Ramsey said the swastika was justified. He compared the inva-,sionâ€žof Grenada, to Nazi Germany's invasion of Poland, mentioning that no country has the rightto invade another sovereign nation. Ramsey said he fears the invasion could lead to a war in CentralAmerica. He then got himself in a debate with a man who said he "just came to agitate." RaymondJohnson, who was a Marine for eight years, said Ramsey's claim that 700 Grenadians have been killedhasn't been verified. Johnson expressed the need to stop the spread of communism, blaming recentdeaths of five Canadians in Grenada on Cuban soldiers and Soviet advisers. Other protesters carriedsigns that called Reagan a liar, called for the CIA to get out of Nicaragua and said "El Salvador isSpanish for Vietnam." The rally was opened by Chuck Fox of the political science department. He saidit's too early to tell if President Reagan made the right move by invading Grenada. Reagan's credibilitywas enhanced, Fox said, by the admiration American medical students expressed to the Marinesand Army rangerscfor evacuating them from the island. â€¢ See RALLY, page 2 Evans criticizes 'deli-style' education By Bob Bolerjack Americans must decide to make education a higher priority and bewilling to foot the bill through higher state and local taxes, interim U.S. Sen. Dan Evans told a Westernaudience Friday. The former governor and president of The Evergreen State College called for a"renaissance" in teacher education, proposing greater pay for master teachers, summer partnershipsbetween teachers and business, and tax incentives for businesses hiring teachers for summer work.The Republican senator, appointed to the late Henry M. Jackson's seat, is campaigning to keep thatseat for the next five years against Democratic Congressman Mike Lowry. Evans told the Viking Union gathering of about 200 that the key to better education is better teaching. He said the master teacherconceptâ€”"greater pay for greater responsibility"â€”is essential to gaining better teaching. Evansproposed summer partnershipsâ€”teachers working for businesses and laboratories during school breaks to earn more money and gain expertiseâ€” as a supplement to teacher education. Graduationrequirements for high school and college students toward a delicatessen-style education, wherestudents had the privilege of taking pretty much whatever they wanted," he said. Evans also criticizedthe concept of what he called "senior vacation," when high school seniors take an incompleteschedule of classes because their graduation requirements nearly are completed. He proposed acompulsory senior project that would be a "culminating experience to show that students are fully ableto take on responsibility." Evans said the education received by students today is inadequate forsuccess in a technological world. On other topics, Evans discussed the federal budget deficit, arms control and U.S. intervention in Grenada and Lebanon. He said slowing the growth of entitlementprograms such as Social Security and Medicare and â€¢ See EVANS, page 2 Quality of waterassessed â€¢Sen. Dan Evans must be strengthened and better structured, Evans said, with emphasisplaced on science, math, English and communications. "About 20 years ago, we shifted By GaryCurtis Huxley College is monitoring BelUrijfham Bay's water quality in a project to work off finesassessed by.the Environmental Protection^Agertcy against West-em for Poly Chlorinated Bithenylstorage violations. PCBs are a toxic substance found in transformers. The EPA found Western inviolation of PCB record keeping requirements last year, PCB leakage from transformers, andimproperly marked signs indicating the use of PCBs, Robert Has-call, Western physical plant director, said. Western corrected the violations within one month of being notified of their existence and paid$2,700 in fines, working off the remainder of the fines through the Bellingham Bay project, which is toend May 1,1984. The three-part project consists of a literature survey of water quality in Bellingham Bayand an analysis of previous sample studies by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The last phase involves collecting samples from Shannon Point Marine Center, at 12 experimentalstations chosen by the EPA. At each station, chemical and geological analysis of the sedimentcomposition is being performed, as are biological studies of benthic organisms to determine the,water quality of Bellingham Bay. "Benthic organisms provide a way of looking a t the water quality," Dean of Huxley College Richard Mayer said. "The more prevalent and diversified the species, thegreater the oxygen level, which indicates fewenpollutants present," he added. Mayer said the EPA isinterested in major bays on the west coast being adversely affected by industry waste and urbandevelopment. Â» ---------- Western Front - 1983 November 1 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, November 1,1983 Co-op will continue cutting book orders By Johnny SongThe Students' Cooperative Bookstore manager will continue cutting professors' textbook orders, much to the dismay of some students and instructors. George Elliott, the bookstore manager, said he believesthat system is the best. The bookstore reduces orders according to the historical data of each class,Elliott said. If a class repeatedly had undersold its textbooks by 10 percent, then Elliott would cut 10percent off the instructor's order, he explained. The reductions are necessary to decrease the monetarylosses of the textbook business, Elliott said. Last fiscal year, the bookstore lost $48,973 in textbookEvans calls for reforms â€¢ EVANS, from page 1 cutting waste in defense spending should be explored as ways of reducing the deficit. On arms control, Evans said a credible nuclear deterrent and armsreduction should go hand-in-hand, calling for opposing groups to work together toward a nuclear "build-down." "We ought not to rattle the nuclear saber, but we can't go in (to negotiations with the SovietUnion) naked," Evans said. He called the idea of a mutual, verifiable nuclear arms freeze little morethan a slogan, stating a mutually acceptable freeze â€” one which both the United States and Soviet Union could agree to, is worth pursuing, followed by a build-down that would "have us down to zero in20 years." Evans said a legitimate question exists over whether the U.S. invasion of Grenada was legal. He called it ironic, however, that President Reagan has been criticized for the action while PresidentKennedy was called a hero for blockading Soviet ships during the Cuban Missile crisis in 1962. U.S.Marines should be kept in Lebanon, Evans said, to avoid "a doubling of international tensions." "If wepull out now, the result would be a bloody civil war and a partitioning oi Lebanon into Syrian and Israelicamps," he said. sales. The bookstore spent $7,415 on postage and freight, primarily returning unsoldbooks. The reductions, however, have left some students without books. Anna Lisa Houk, who waswithout an Introduction to Psychology workbook until after her first test, said the bookstore shouldnot cut the professors' orders. "I think the purpose of Western is to provide education," Houk said. "Thename of the store implies it is run for the students and cutting the books is not helping." Houkcontended that without the workbook, she was deprived of the full benefit of her class, which she paid for in her tuition. The registrar's office has had bookless students request refunds for dropping classes after the deadline. These students dropped classes because they could not find textbooks, Associateregistrar Joe St. Hilaire said. Speech instructor Clarissa Brown received two books seven weeks into her class. Another book has not arrived yet. Brown said the predicament has hurt her students, especiallythe ones not familiar with the subject. "The bookstore was very polite, though they were of very littlehelp," Brown said. "I really can't see how it could have taken so long." "Obviously, something wentwrong," Brown said. "It's a real inconvenience, and I'm sure it could have been avoided. You can't wastehalf a quarter because you don't have the textbooks." Liberal Studies professor Rob Stoops, who did notreceive two books on time, said the bookstore's policy is "silly." "They ought to order all the books,"Stoops said. "The alternative is for us to over order." Elliott acknowledged that reducing orders hascaused problems. The only alternative is to cut the textbook discounts, he said. The bookstorecurrendy offers an 11 percent discount on" all items. This fall has seen an increase in book shortageproblems because of the unexpected increase in enrollment, Elliott said. He said much of the problem is because fall pre-registration is hot offered. This procedure was dropped in 1981 because it wasinefficient for everyone except the bookstore, St. Hilaire said. For fall pre^ registration, professors andtheir departments had to have a schedule ready by the preceding February. These schedules werechanged due to changes in personnel, budget and departmental moves. Also, the pre-registeredstudents did not always return. "I know he (Elliott) didn't like it when we cut pre-registration, but we hadso many other compelling reasons to do it," St. Hilaire said. Elliott said, "I wish I had a perfectsolution. "There are 9,600 students at Western and 95 percent .have books, that's better than most,"Elliott said. Ditto days numbered for Xerox Western will spend $90,000 to replace its Xerox copiers with24 Royal Bond copy machines, Manager of Reprographics Services Ken Anderson said. The newcopiers will be installed during the week of Nov. 14. The cost for making copies will be the same as thepresent Xerox copiersâ€”5 cents. The new copiers will have reduction features and will have two papercassettes on line at all times. One cassette will hold 8- and-a-haif by 11-inch paper while the other willcontain 8-and-a-half by 14-inch paper. Western called for bids and Royal Bond answered with the bestdeal, Anderson said. Present Xerox copiers are 6 years old and becoming obsolete with technologicaladvancements and competition. These machines will become state surplus property. The four Savincopiers in Wilson Library are included in the machines to be replaced. They came in during thebudget crisis last year and were the only copiers available on the state contract of the time, Andersonsaid. Rally calm, subdued â€¢ RALLY, from page 1 But the reaction of American allies, including GreatBritain, West Germany and Canada, who have criticized the invasion harms Reagan's credibility, Foxsaid. Fox commented on the reasons Reagan gave for the invasion. The first was that military actionwas needed to save American lives. Reagan wanted "to prevent another Iranian hostage crisis,"Fox said. But while the medical students in Grenada were pleased to have been evacuated, Fox said hehas yet to hear that their lives actually were threatened by the new Grenadian government. It appearsthe students didn't become frightened until after the invasion, Fox said. If the invasion was meant only to save lives, why didn't the military just go in, rescue the students and then get out, Fox asked.Reagan also justified the invasion by saying Caribbean nations requested U.S. military help. If that'strue, Fox asked, why were Rangers in Washington state practicing airport takeovers in September? Healso wondered exactly what the request did say and asked who requested that the Caribbean nationsmake their request? The third reason Reagan gave for the invasion was to restore democracy inGrenada. But Grenada never was democratic and it still isn't, Fox said. Student Mike Boardman saidLatin American countries are worried the United States may invade them next. The 700 Grenadiansreported killed so far is equal to 1,400,000 Americans. "Think about the lives that have been lost andthink if it's worth it," he said. The next speaker, Soren Ryherd, shifted the focus of the rally to Lebanon.U.S Marines were sent there to keep peace, he said. But Lebanon is no more peaceful than when theyentered, adding 1,600 to 2,000 troops can't keep peace in a centuries-old civil war. Ryherd thenrepeated a quote Fox used earlier. "If we are there to keep peace, we are too few. If we are there to die,we are too many." One of several sign-carrying protesters displays his opinion of President Reagan'sforeign policy during Friday's rally in Red Square. â€¢ Proven Leadership â€¢ Hardworking â€¢ Informed Elect Shirley. vanzanten COUNTY EXECUTIVE IN on-Partisan Paid for by the Shirley Van ZantenCampaign Fielding Forrriway; Bob Morse Chairmen FALL BLOOD DRIVE November 3 4 9 am - 3 pmRegistration Center - Old Main Appointments can be made â€” call 676-3400 ALL BLOOD TYPESNEEDED ---------- Western Front - 1983 November 1 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, November 1,1983 Western Front 3 By Seth Preston and Ron Judd - - When G.

At times, the group gathered in Red Square Friday resembled a docile group of sunbathers more than political rally attendants. Still, Mike Boardman, an "interested student" at the podium, told the gathering he had to cut his speech short or else he would start screaming into the microphone.A man in the audience yelled, "Do it!" but the rally remained calm, factual and helpful. Even a masked,swastika-sporting Ronald Reagan standing on a bench and saluting Nazi-fashion failed to excite muchemotion. The rally's sponsors deserve congratulations. Such events can contribute significantly to thediscussion of foreign policy issues by attempting to inform, not harangue, the listener. The rally didthis Friday, at least on the anti-invasion side. Associated Students President Dana Grant, who co-sponsored the event along with AS Vice President for Academic Affairs Soren Ryherd, said he will help organize a pro-invasion rally, if requested by interested parties. Even if no one requests a Red Squarerally in defense of the invasion, the Associated Students should attempt to provide both sides with anopportunity to exchange views. This will help to make the group most directly involved in theissueâ€”young adultsâ€”less confused, less subdued and more willing to act. Miller Hall sinksJâ€”â€”â€¢â€”â€”â€¢â€”â€”â€¢â€” Utilize advantages The campus is foundering with concern over thesinking of Miller Hall into the marsh whence it came. Doesn't anyone see the advantages in the building's predicament? Imagine: Once Miller Hall has disappeared, it will become an earth-sheltered building, with concomitant energy savings a n d acclaim for Western's progressive policies. As soon as the roofreaches ground level, the school's parking problem will be eased. That much centrally located spacecould be rented for ridiculous fees, and more levels can b e added as the preceding level also drops below ground level. Although the view for all the fine professors' offices on the third floor regrettably will beruined, if the geology department was moved there instead, t h e instructors simply could pull thedrapes a n d demonstrate "stratification" to t he class. While the administration has recognized the needfor "quiet residence halls," it has ignored the need for "quiet academic halls." The only noises audibleinside Miller Hall once it's below ground will be the cries of psychology's experimental animals, stillcringing in the basement. Despite the relative peace, however, the counseling center must be moved.Troubled students who arrive a n d begin to get that sinking feeling will not be helped at all by this state of affairs. Seattle makes piles of money off its "Underground City" tours. Western could do some of thesame with its own mini version, and if it ties into Vancouver, British Columbia's, Expo '86, w h o knowswhat contacts might be made and what prestigious events might be thrown Western's way?

Signed commentaries and cartoons are the opinions ofthe authors. Guest commentaries are welcomed* Definitions and Interests AS Board redefines missionBy endorsing candidates to next week's general election, the Associated Students Board of Directorshas set a precedent allowing its members to act as advisers to, not representatives of, the students atWestern. Some board members opposed the idea, but not enough to stop it. Some students voicedopposition, but too few to make a difference. Section 42.17.130 of the Revised Code ofWashington, when applied to the move, raised questions of legality. That statute reads in part: "Noelective official nor any employee of his office nor any person appointed to or employed by any publicoffice or agency may use or authorize the use of any of the facilities of a public office or agency, directlyor indirectly, for the purpose of assisting a campaign for election of any person to any office or for thepromotion of or oppostion to any ballot proposition." After three weeks of discussion, the board, whichencourages student participation, endorsed seven candidates without consulting the opinions of Westernstudents. The endorsements themselves aren't the cause for concern; in fact, the chosen candidates arequalified arid appropriate for the positions. However, the policy of making decisions bearing theAssociated students' name without consulting the associated students creates problems. Boardmembers have stated they encourage student involvement, an admirable goal that has been the butt ofmany jokes this quarter. The action taken by the board Tuesday, however, showed a dichotomy betweenthe board's words and actions. The gathering of student opinion on the potentially controversial pub bythe board was laudatory. Arid it's agreed student opinion isn't a necessity on every action the boardtakes. But the impression given last spring was that students were electing a board of directors to act as student representatives. Representative defined means "serving to represent." Most board members have interpreted a representative as serving to represent "the students' best interests." This definition was in evidence Tuesday, and gives the board its newly implied power. For the most part the board has beencomparatively active. The board has approved 43 action items, versus 17 this time last year. Boardmembers seem to have a grasp of issues facing students today. But this doesn't give them the power tospeak for the students. At best it qualifies them to present all alternatives to the issues. This limitationmay frustrate individuals fighting student apathy. It is one, though, that must be observed if the title of the board of directors is not to be changed to board of advisors. Appearances and deception Bewarepolitical packaging After several weeks of hearing and overhearing disparaging remarks about theappearance of Senate hopeful Mike Lowry, I'm prompted to wonder about the voting public's judgment.Lowry's become the butt of countless jokes and cartoons, even his own. He can't tie his tie, hisclothes are rumpled, his beard is scruffy and his shoes lack polish. In short, he is the antithesis of theall- American political - candidate. We live in a society that has been taught by a perpetual barrage ofverbal and nonverbal messages to value superficiality. We equate appearance with intelligence and goodlooks with performance. If Abe Lincoln was in the presidential race now, it's debatable we would see past his plain words and homely looks to the wise and courageous man he was. We are the target audienceof some slick marketing techniques aimed at selling political candidates to the public by means ofsubliminal appeal, and we should remember that. It's important to look beyond the surface for the reality;to question seeming perfection; to examine candidates for qualities of leadership_with more than oureyes. Election day is almost here, so let us carefully question our motives for votingâ€”or not votingâ€”for each candidate. Otherwise, we may elect an image, a facade, with an inadequate mind behind it. â‚¬ ---------- Western Front - 1983 November 1 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, November 1,1983 Western Front 5 LETTERS AS Board-sides Front: Look before you ripWestern Front: Week after week I have eagerly awaited the latest edition of the Front, hoping to findsome meaningful discussion of AS Board actions. Time after time I have been disappointed. While thearticles on the AS Board generally have been fair and accurate, the editorials and commentaries havebeen excessively slanted and sarcastic. Don't misunderstand me; I am well aware the AS Board is notinfallible. However, the tone of recent Front editorials has been uniformly negative regarding the ASBoard. For example, the Front mocks the Board's efforts at increasing student involvement, although in the past it has argued for such attempts. The Front also belittles the AS Board for its addressing minordetails, such as readerboard policy. Unfortunately, these details don't address themselves, but arepart of the task of governance. In focussing on such trivia it seems the Front is criticizing merely for the sake of criticism. I suppose that touches on the purpose of this letter, i.e., that unfocused criticism iscounterproductive. It ignores the positive and exaggerates the negative. Criticism can, however, beuseful if focussed. No organization is perfect, and hopefully both the AS Board and the Front can benefitfrom constructive criticism. Daniel V. Pike AS vice president for external affairs Financial aid Studentaides defend system Western Front: As student employees of the Student Financial Aid Office, wewould like to comment on Leigh Clifton's article in the Oct. 21 issue of the Front. In her article, Cliftonsuggests the Student Financial Aid Office is inefficient, provides students with inaccurate orincomplete information and suffers from an "attitude" problem. With regard to the suggestion ofinefficiency, it should be noted the Student Financial Aid Office delivered nearly $9 million in financialassistance to about 4,300 Western students during the 1982-83 academic year. This would not havebeen accomplished by an "inefficient" staff. We are doing our very best to equitably allocate limitedfinancial resources to those students who have the need for it. Why not be extra careful and make sure those most deserving are awarded? We are also required to go through an audit every two years and the outcome of this audit has an indirect effect on the availability of funds for future use. The only motive forsuch intensive review and documenting process is to make the financial aid availability that muchbetter for students. Unfortunately, many of the students who have difficulty with the financial aid"process" are those who fail to accurately complete and return all necessary financial aid forms by thefirst consideration date of April 1. Ironically, the frustration and anger of those who fall victim to the"process," as a result of failing to heed these suggestions, is often vented on the Student Financial AidOffice staff. With regard to dissemination of accurate information, the financial aid office staff places ahigh priority on providing accurate and complete information. This is done through extensive and ongoingtraining of all staff, including student employees. With regard to the "attitude" problem of the StudentFinancial Aid Office staff, it is our observation the staff is dedicated to assisting needy students with theresources to attend Western. They make every effort to respond to students' individual and uniquecircumstances with sensitivity and humaneness. In conclusion, we feel Western students have been and will be served well by the Student Financial Aid Office. Further, students are served efficiently withtimely accurate information by the staff members and student employees with a caring and positiveattitude.

(A course on chemical literature in my department has no mention in the catalog about knowing how to read.) However, is it really possible that studentswere required to "figure out a bunch of. . . stuff' in lab or, even worse, meditate on it at home? Do examsstill exist at Western that are more than multiple choice or fill-in-the-blank? I surely hope Ms. Dean'sformer physics instructor has tenure. If he gives courses like that, he'll need it.

He cut a 2-inch wide blue ribbon, smiled,then cut it again Waves elicit Parks'gift Paries Hall may have been named something else ifWestern's crew team hadn't been so friendly. Maynard Parks, honored at a Parks Hall dedicationceremony on Saturday, said members of a friendly Viking crew often waved at him and his wife as theteam practiced near the couple's Lake Samish home. The show of friendship initiated an interest inWestern that eventually led to a substantial donation to the university. Parks said he originally intendedto make that contribution to the University of Washington, his alma mater. "We decided we couldcontribute to the University of Washington, but it wouldn't mean that much. So we thought, 'why notpromote the local school?' " he said. Western students working as waitresses in local restaurantsalways spoke highly of the school, "We decided to contact them," he said, "and I haven't been sorry."Parks, a former railroad executive who retired in 1974, said he hopes to continue a close relationship with Western in the future. "Ill do all I can within my limited means to make this a sue cessful school,"he said. "Western has some good things going here." Parks accepted congratula tions from friends and colleagues inside the building named for him and his wife. He agreed that he never thought waving backto the viking Crew years ago would lead to having a building named after him. for the photographers. The crowd applauded, and Parks Hall officially was dedicated. The dedication ceremony Saturday, whichtook place in conjunction with a railroad transportation symposium; was attended by about 100people. In the crowd were friends and associates of Parks, university faculty and administration andseveral public officals. Parks Hall, a $6.1 million facility, houses the College of Business andEconomics and speech pathology/audiology department. It contains 10 classrooms, 80 offices and 60 laboratories and work rooms. The building was named after Parks and his late wife Patricia lastFebruary by Western's Board of Trustees. The board decided to honor Parks because of a "generous,unsolicited gift to the university," Curtis Dalrymple, Board of Trustees chairman, told the crowd.Western Foundation Executive Director Jeanene DeLille earlier' said Parks donated a large piece of land, which now is the most valuable piece of property Western owns. She declined to say what thatproperty was. v President G. Robert Ross said he was "pleased to see the building named after sucha generous person as Maynard Parks."

Samual Polen, acting chairman of the department of speechpathology/audiology, said his department has found a home after being housed in various buildings'basements around campus. The relatively small size of the speech pathology/audiology departmentmay give the impression it was an afterthought to place it in Parks Hall. But the opposite is true,Polen said, explaining that speech pathology- /audiology faculty were involved in the design of thebuilding. Polen told the crowd he has toured other speech pathology/ audiology buildings around thenation, and "the facility we have is without question the best in the United States." CBE Dean, DennisMurphy presented Parks with a large plaque commemorating the dedication. An identical plaque nowhangs in a Parks Hall Plaza display case. After the ceremony, Parks said the plaque for his home had come as a complete surprise. "It will be in a place of honor for the rest of my life," he said. The Parksdisplay case also contains railroad memorabilia to honor Parks, a railroad figure before his retirement in1974. The photos, schedules and other items will remain on display until Christmas, Murphy said.Parks said the naming of the building in his honor came as a "total surprise" last February. Thetransportation symposium idea was born when Parks' friends in the railroad industry expressed theirdesire to attend the dedication, Parks said. Parks said his railroad acquaintances were impressedwith the university and President Ross.

By Christine ValdezSusie had graduated from college, was working and had a handle on her life before she wasrecruited by the Unification church. But like most cult recruits, inside she was confused about heridentity. Since the 1970s, the search for self-identity has led more than 3 million people to join at least1,000 cults in the United States. George Cvetkovich, of the psychology department, said s t u d i e s inwhich ex-cult members had been interviewed show that 75 percent were recruited during an identitycrisis and 25 percent "had always been in an identity crisis." Jack Kintner, Lutheran pastor at theCampus Christian Ministry, explained that some people join because they're desperate. At certainpoints in life, some people could be so desperate they would do any thing to save themselves. Studieshave shown college students tend to be more idealistic, Cvetkovich said, which makes themespecially susceptible to cults. Recruiters focus on college freshmen and seniors because they are in astate of transition. Although Susie didn't have many of the typical characteristics, her naivete madeher a prime 'It's like a seed that is planted in your personality and it suddenly becomes yourpersonality.' â€”Susie target for Unification Church recruiters. "I came from an open and. friendlySouthern Baptist community so I never thought that there were people who might try to hurt me. I wasvery trusting," she said, adding that,she had always wanted to learn about different religions. Her firstcontact with the Unification Church was on a bus during a vacation. The young woman seated nextto her was crying. "I asked her what was wrong and she said she belonged to a Christian church groupand was supposed^ to bring three new people to a meeting that night. So far she hadn't gotten anyone." The group was planning a weekend retreat to the Grand Canyon the next day. The woman described the group with an often used pseudonym, but Susie said the recruiter could have used the group's realname and she wouldn't have known, because she had never heard of the Moonies. . In spite of all thecoverage Moonies have received/ results from a 1980 Gallup poll of youths showed 59 percent had never heard of the Unification Church. Susie's curiosity grew and she agreed to go. She described themeeting as very friendly but said "the vibes were a little weird." "These were kids just like me. I really felt like I belonged," she said. Susie recalled that during the weekend at the Grand Canyon, someonealways was with her. She said about 100 people attended. "There was never time to sit by yourself andthink. In the morning there would be morning prayer, then you'd have breakfast, then there'd belectures, then you'd read out of the Divine Light Mission (the Moonie bible), then you'd play games... You were just constantly active," Susie said. Susie said during the weekend retreats the recruits were subtly introduced to the Moonie point of view through lectures and readings. By doing this, the recruitsunconsciously were being prepared to reject their families and anything that might interfere with theirloyalty to the cult. "It's like a seed that is planted in your personality and it suddenly becomes yourpersonality, Susie said. As is typical of the cult recruiting procedure, Susie then was invited to aweek-long retreat with 30 to 40 other people. Although she was hesitant she agreed to go. Afterfive days of constant active ity and little rest, Susie contracted liver jaundice. "They called a doctor, gave meall the medication and took excellent care of me," she said. One girl in the group had theresponsibility of caring for Susie and visiting her periodically. Susie often was left alone and able toreflect. "If I hadn't gotten sick, I would have left," Susie said. Instead she was a captive audience. Whileconfined, Susie read and reread the Moonie bible. After nearly two weeks, Susie, was a Moonie. Somesay cult conversion often involves brainwashing. According to "Social Psychology," a soon to bereleased textbook Gvetchkovich helped edit, studies have found that brainwashing occurs in twostages, psychological death and rebirth. During psychological death, people lose their former identity.They may see themselves as sinful, worthless or inadequate. The cult encourages this by isolatingpeople from everything holding their identity together such as personal values and beliefs, Cvetkovichsaid. They create an uncertainty in people's beliefs by drilling the new doctrines into the recruits'brains. The second phase of brainwashing is ideological rebirth. The recruits have lost theirpsychological identities and formed new ones because of the reeducation with new values andbeliefs. Between these two phases people may experience what Flo Conway and Jim Siegelman referto as snapping, in their book "Snapping." In Susie's case, it happened more subtly. "It came to a pointwhere it was too hard to keep my individuality." Then she began to feel as if she was one of the"chosen people." Several ex-cultists have described the experience as one in which they felt euphoric or as if they were outside of their body, according to "Snapping." Cvetkovich said the people might feelthis way because, since they have stopped fighting, they feel as though their problems are solved. Onereason for the sudden snapping experience is because individuals are told what they're going to feel, and through the power of suggestion, they feel it, Elvet Jones, psychology, said. He added that when people go through the experience they may believe even more in the leader being worshipped because thatperson's doctrine accurately predicted what would happen to them. When the retreat ended, Susie said, everyone was transferred from the camp center to the city Rescues critically examined The only method developed for getting a person out of a cult is deprogramming, according to "Snapping," by Flo Conwayand Jim Siegelman. It has been hailed as the salvation of many ex-cult members and condemned as aviolation of the individual's rights. The term deprogramming and the method were originated by TedPatrick who began working for parents of cult members during the 1970s in California. Patrick kidnapsthe cult members and challenges what they've learned by asking them questions to which he knowsthey have no answer. The controversy stems from the assumption that the labeling of cults as bad orgood is relative to the person evaluating them. Bill Scott, documents librarian at Wilson Library and pastpresident of the Whatcom County Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, explained: "The legal methods of recruitment must be nailed down. We have to remember- that if the treatment you'reobjecting to is acceptable in a mainline organization, then it must be accepted in a borderlineorganization." Many ex-cultists who have been deprogrammed, however, disagree. Susie, an ex-Moonie explained when people are in a cult they are not themselves. They have no individual rights becausethey are not able to make their own decisions. "I don't think many people can get out unless someonegoes in for them," she said adding that some people are able to get out on their own because, for somereason, they still are able to quest-tion what they are being taught. Like John, Susie's husband anddeprogrammer, most depro-grammers learn their skill by researching the different cults and how theyoperate. John said, however, "A person can become devastated if it's not done right." "I don't think it'sright to lad-nap someone on the basis of their beliefs," said Jack Kinter, Lutheran minister for theCollege Campus Ministry. George Cvetkovich of the psychology department said he is againstdeprogramming because he thinks it is too difficult to determine where brainwashing ends and realworship begins. "Deprogramming is just another type of brainwashing," he said. He added that somepeople drop out on their own because they realize cults can't provide a single solution to the question of identity. center. People were given different jobs such as fund-raising or recruiting that became theirsole responsibility in "serving their leader." During the remaining eight months Susie was in the cult,she was given more detailed lectures so she could learn Rev. Sun Myung Moon's rules, values andprinciples. She recalled she no longer had someone constantly with her. After about eight months,Susie's doctor suggested she go home to recuperate. He said all the activity was not good for herhealth. It would be die first time she had been home since joining the cult. During a week long visit withher aunt, Susie met the man who later would become her deprogrammer and husband, John. At thetime they met, John said he didn't think Susie totally was committed to the Moonies, but Susie said she believes she was. "She was in a floating zone," he said. After Susie went back to the Moonie camp,her parents contacted John and asked him to try .and get Susie out. It was unusually simple. Johncalled the camp and told one of the leaders that Susie had an illness and needed medication. Hefabricated an illness he knew would be unacceptable to the Moonies. They called him back and saidSusie was kicked out of the Moonies and would be home soon. - 'It took losing myself to find myself.'â€” Susie He said the Moonies consider p e o p l e who have taken drugs, have had medical care formental illness or have been involved in sexual misconduct to be liabilities to "the cause." Susie said shewas severely depressed when she was sent home because she felt she had been rejected by the cult. . "They didn't even try to find out if what he was saying was true," she recalled. "I just wanted to goback." John compared her reaction to "a broken love affair exaggerated by 30 times" because she sleptand cried for three days. During the deprogramming period, a time in which an attempt is made to forcepeople to begin thinking for themselves, John would challenge Susie's belief by interrogating her aboutwhat she'd been taught. John said during Susie's fits of anger he told himself, "Fits are good, theyshowyou're thinking." One of the symptoms Susie most clearly remembered is the loss of memory. "Iusually have amazing recall. But during that time, I couldn't get my own mind tapes to come back.Moon's tapes were there in their place," she explained. Susie said the things that brought her back were reading about other people's experiences, being in a loving environment and most of all, time. Shesaid she doesn't think she was deprogrammed. She estimated it took her about ayear and a half to cope with her experience. Looking back, John reflected, "She went through absolute hell and I grew up 100percent." Susie, however, said she considers it as a beneficial experience. "It took losing myself tofind myself." * ---------- Western Front - 1983 November 1 - Page 8 ---------- 4 8 Western Front SPORTS Tuesday, November 1,1983 Clock, Clansmen stop Viking rally By SethPreston It's said all good things must end. For Western, it ended Saturday with the Vikings trapped onthe Simon Fraser University 2-yard line as the clock ran out, giving the Clansmen a 28-27 EvergreenConference victory and snapping the Vikings' one-game winning streak. Western had a chance to winwith 11 seconds left, but that hope was buried, along with quarterback Dave Peterson, by a host of SFUdefenders at the 2. With no time-outs left, the Vikings only could watch as the game slipped away. "Iwanted Dave to sweep and if he couldn't get in (the end zone) or out of bounds, throw it in the groundand even take a penalty," an upset Western head coach Paul Hansen said. "Then we'd come in with the field goal," he continued. "I guess I didn't get the message across about throwing it away. It (the blame)is on me." Peterson, who completed 25 of 48 passes for 289 yards and three touchdowns, said, "Thefullback brought in the play and gave the wrong formation. I had to call the play in the right formation and never got the rest (about getting rid of the ball)." The play ended a back-and-forth scoring struggle,which began late in the first quarter. SFU halfback Robert Reid, who finished with 189 yards and three touchdowns on 34 carries, capped a 12-play, 78-yard drive with a 1-yard scoring plunge. The visitors'lead lasted all of 12 seconds as Western kick returner Mark Moran took the following kickoff andstreaked untouched for a 99-yard touchdown. The return length set a new Viking record; the first quarterended knotted at 7-7. Western took the lead after safety Doug Nelson intercepted a pass and returned it to the SFU 17. On the next play, Peterson hit wide-open tight end Scott Ash-more at the goal line for a14-7 lead. Viking quarterback Dave Peterson is brought down by Clansmen defensive back Mario Luongoduring Western's 28-27loss to Simon Fraser. The Clansmen tied it again on their next play fromscrimmage, when Reid bolted through several Vikings on his way to a 69-yard touchdown run. Not to be out-done, Western scored on the third play of its next possession. Peterson hit receiver Dave Blackham down the right sideline with a 49-yard toss for a touchdown and a 21-14 advantage. SFU tied the gameon a 10-yard pass from quarterback Brad Ting-ley to split end Tony Dennis with about three minutes leftin the half. Western subsequently drove to the SFU 25, aided by a pass interference call. On fourthdown, halfback Tim Richard heaved a pass for Peterson coming out of the backfield, a play that hadworked three times last week against Eastern Oregon State College. But Clansman Todd Wisemanpicked it off and returned the ball to the Western 42. SFU managed to reach the Western 20 withseconds left in the half. Kicker Brad Williams' 37-yard field goal attempt was declared no good after adebate among the referees who made conflicting calls, and it was 21-21 at intermission. But the secondhalf was the opposite of the first. The teams battled through a scoreless third quarter, with Williamsmissing another field goal try. Western started the scoring again after Nelson snagged his secondinterception near the Viking 35 and returned it to the SFU 5. Richard scored on the next play, but aholding call moved Western back to the 15. After two rushing plays put the ball at the 3, Peterson hitTrey Cummings for the score. But freshman place-kicker Dave Broussard missed a crucial extra pointattempt, making the score 27-21 with 10 minutes to go. The Vikings stopped the Clansmen on their next possession, and began a drive of their own. But Peterson was intercepted by Wiseman, who wasknocked out of bounds at the Western 20. "I felt we needed to go down-field for one more big first down," Hansen said. Tingley gt; the second-ranked National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics passer, was limited to 184 yards while hitting on 16 of 34 attempts. But probably his biggest pass of the daywas an 18-yarder to Reid, giving SFU a first down on the 2. Two plays later, Reid dove full-length intothe end zone and, after Williams added the extra point, the Clansmen led 28-27. The Vikings took theball at their own 29 after the kick with three minutes to play, and with the aid of another passinterference call and a fourth-down run by Peterson, they had a first down on the SFU 38 with twominutes left. Eight plays later, from the 13, Peterson threw for Randy Chat-man in the end zone, butChat-man dropped the ball. Chatman caught Peterson's next pass at the 2 with 11 seconds left, and hestepped out of bounds to kill the clock. The Vikings already had e x h a u s t e d their time-outallotment. The Vikings attempted their ill-fated roll-out next, and suddenly the game was over. "The kids played great... we've got to be the most improved team in the country," Hansen lamented. "I just feelbad because I made a stupid error." The Vikings, 1-3 in Evco action and 1-6 overall, play the University of Puget Sound Loggers at 1:30 p.m. Saturday in Tacoma. Spikers end season tonight By TimMahoney Western's volleyball team closes its season tonight after taking fifth place at the SimonFraser University Halloween Invitational this past weekend. Friday night, the Vikings got the tricksinstead of the treats, losing all three matches. Central Washington University notched its first victoryagainst Western this season, 15-7, 15-12. The University of British Columbia then stopped Western, 15-12,15-7, and the Vikings fell 15- 10, 15-3, to host Simon Fraser. After the night's play, the team had anhour-long meeting to discuss its problem. Junior hitter Sue Jemegan said of the metting, "basically, he (Western head coach Mike Clark) wanted us to tell him what we thought was going wrong. It cleared the air." Saturday, the Vikings started on the winning track, beating Highline Community College 15- 9, 16-14. That, though, was followed by a loss to the University of Pordand, 12-15, 15-4, 15-7. Portland, onThursday night, had defeated Western 15-6,15-11, 15-7. Western lost 15-6, 15-11 to the University ofPuget Sound, defeated Seattle University 15-5, 10-15,15-1, to complete pool play and avengedthemselves against Central to take fifth place, winning 17-14, 17-15. Western plays tonight againstSimon Fraser at 7:30 p.m. in Carver Gym for its season finale. Icemen chill upstart Flames By PatBulmer After a pair of easy exhibition victories this weekend, Western hockey coach John Utendale willbegin paring the 18-man roster as the Vikings prepare for regular season play. The Vikings had littleproblem beating the Portland Flames Saturday night and Sunday morning at the Bakerview Ice Arena.Western won Saturday's penalty-filled game 6-2 and Sunday's lackluster affair 8-1. The Vikings usedfour forward lines against Portland. Utendale said three will be used when Pacific Collegiate HockeyLeague action begins Nov. 11. One de-fenseman also may be cut. Saturday, Western scored two earlyshorthanded goals to get the jump on Portland. The Flames bounced back late in the first period andearly in the second to make the score 3-2, but could get no closer. Western notched three second-period and one third-period goal to put the game away. The game featured 66 minutes in penalties astempers flared and flew throughout the third period. Portland coach Tom Gauthier blamed the referee forletting the game get out of hand. Center Todd Thachuk and right-winger Dave Higgins led the VikingsSaturday. Higgins assisted on three goals, while his linemate had one goal and two assists.Defenseman Paul Huff scored twice. Ken Kennedy, Al Perry and Paul Angell added the others. Sunday, Western put the game away in the first period on goals by Angell, Higgins and Dale Zel-ter. Thachukand Huff had second period goals, while Zelter, Barry Matthisen and Grant Mat-thisen scored in the thirdperiod.

The Vikes have a perfect 12-0 regular season record with the 3- 0 victory against the University of Washington. The win givesWestern the Northwest Collegiate Women's Soccer Conference title and the number one seed in nextweek's regional playoffs at The Evergreen State College in Olympia. Duvall scored her first goal in the25th minute on a cross from sophomore wing Hope Grimm. She caught the ball with a side volley,kicking it in mid-air past the Husky goalkeeper. The second goal came with five minutes left in the half.Junior Cindy Gordon chipped a shot at the Washington net that hit the goalpost and bounced in front ofthe net. The ever-present Duvall got the easy score. The third goal came with about 15 minutes to go inthe match when Susie Jensen pushed the ball up the middle to Duvall, who kicked it in again to makethe score 3-0. Western head coach Dominic Garguile gave his team high marks for their defensive play, especially praising sweeper Kelly Billingsley and goalkeeper Muffy Liljegren. This match, played onWestern's pitch behind Carver Gym, was different from the one played two-and-a-half weeks ago inSeattle. "They were stronger. They played a tougher game," Billingsley said of Saturday's match."Last time they got burnt out in the second half. This time they were really up for it." Western's CindyGordon (#15) puts a move on a Husky defender in Saturday's 3-0 victory. Timberrrr.... Men's soccertopples Loggers By Steve Rupp Although any playoff aspirations were snuffed out last Wednesdayagainst Simon Eraser, the men's soccer team came back nicely Saturday afternoon with a 2-0 victoryover the University of Puget Sound. The victory gives the Vikings a 7-2-2 record overall and a 4-2-1 mark in Northwest Collegiate Soccer Conference action. The win also assures Western, ranked 16th in lastweek's National Asso-ciation of Intercollegiate Athletics poll, of their first winning record in conferenceaction. Western and the Loggers played to a scoreless tie in the first half, an example of the toughdefense both teams played. Viking head coach Bruce Campbell said he felt Western played its bestgame defensively all season. In particular, Campbell pointed out goalie John Reily's play as"outstanding." Although suffering from the flu, Reily handled every Logger offensive threat until Jeff Pottertook over in the goal with about 20 minutes left because Reily was suffering from dizzy spells. "He'sbeen a real asset all season," Campbell said of the rookie goalkeeper.' For a freshman to be as goodas he is, is remarkable." Western got the only goal it would need when Jeff Spears picked off a badLogger pass and beat the UPS goalie one-on-one. Flames chilled â€¢ FLAMES, from page 8 shutoutwas ruined on a goal by Portland's Kevin O'Ree five minutes into the third period. Despite theabundance of goals, Utendale said Western didn't take advantage of all the scoring opportunities it had.The Portland goalies stopped the Vikings 50 times on Sunday and 29 times Saturday. Goalpostsstopped Viking shots a few times, as well. Gauthier said he wasn't disappointed in the play of hisJunior C team, comprised of 16 to 20-year-olds. A seven-goal deficit is respectable for a team that hadonly half as many players as its opponents, he said. Utendale said the Vikings gave Portland too manyscoring opportunities. Schreifels had to come up with 16 saves Sunday and 37 Saturday. Western nowwill travel to Portland for a pair of exhibitions against a senior men's team next weekend, beforeopening season play at the Bakerview Ice Arena the following Friday. about 15 minutes into the secondhalf. Western received a gift from UPS about 30 minutes into the second half when a Logger defender,intending to pass the ball to his goalie, misfired and found his own goal to give the Vikings their final 2-0margin. "With the tie and this win, we should be in the top ten," Campbell said. "If we're not, there'sgoing to be some serious bitching."

Speaking of the speed with which this area of art hasevolved, he laughed and commented, "Last year, I hardly knew it existed!" Computer graphics is apromising co-mingling of art and science that lets artists create images on a computer screen andthen reproduce them in a number of ways for a variety of uses such as animation. Urso describes theprocess as a two-fold problem at present. An artist first must create or manipulate an image on thecomputer screen. The current hurdle is a technological lag between hardware and software, whichpressures artists and" designers wishing to use the medium to be fairly proficient programmers. Somesoftware is on the market now and more is on the way, but prices as yet are prohibitive on many items.The other half of the problem is reproduction of the computer image. It can be placed on film, slide orvideo tape, or it can be printed or color-plotted on paper. The latter processes, Urso said, aren't verysatisfactory because they lack intensity and brightness when reproduced. Here again, money is a factor. An ink jet printer has been developed to lay the color directly on the paper but it's too new and costlyfor widespread use. Although no formal class in computer graphics is available at Western this year,Urso has between seven and 10 students currently enrolled in independent studies exploring computer graphics. Possibilities are expanding with new equipment. A color printer arrived last week and asecond Apple computer and TV system are due within a week or two. With additional equipment, Ursosaid the art department will have the capability of doing some very sophisticated graphicsâ€”as soon asenough experience is gained to use the new machinery to its full potential. Urso is planning aconsultation with a colleague in Seattle to gain more knowledge about the possibilities of the newequipment. Some underlying difficulties must be ironed out at Western before a computer graphics class can be offered, Urso said. He has a full teaching load himself and considers his work with theindependent study students "A labor of love." He is unsure if faculty will be available for a class nextyear. The other difficulty is the scarcity of software. His students are artists and designers, he noted,not computer programmers. This limits many of them to fairly basic graphics on the computers.

P E A C ESpecial Work C O R P S For Special People Peace Corps volunteers are people pretty much like you.People with commitment and skills who have assessed their lives and decided they want to be ofservice to others in a troubled world. The problems our volunteers deal with overseas aren't new. Suchas the cycle of poverty'that traps one generation after another because they're too busy holding on to get ahead. The debilitating effects of malnutrition, disease, and inadequate shelter. Education and skillsthat are lacking, and the means to get them too. Your college training qualifies you to handle more ofthese problems than you might think. Such as teaching nutrition and health practices; designingand building bridges and irrigation systems; working on reforestation and fisheries programs;introducing better agricultural techniques; advising small businesses and establishing cooperatives;or teaching math and science at the secondary level. The number of jobs to do is nearly as great as thenumber of volunteers who have served since 1961: Nearly 90,000.

To photographer Casey Madison, he represented thestruggle of the elderly as they learn to live with loneliness. Through the eye of his camera, Madisonviewed the mans daily episodes: greeting passing cars for a few hours every morning and watchingtelevision in his stark apartment most evenings. "It kind of typified loneliness to see a man get upevery day to wave at cars as his only form of social contact," Madison said. He spent three weeksfollowing Ruble through his long unchanging days. The man couldn't read or write so his only contactwith the world was through the dim screen of his television. "I had a lot of compassion for him after Iheard how he spent his time," Madison said. "The story started to become a really emotional thing tome." The outcome of Madison's relationship was five black and white photographs and eight shortparagraphs published in Klip-sun last winter. In just two pages, the depths of loneliness andabandonment reach out to the reader. So much so that Madison won a first place national award infeature photography for this story. The Society of Professional Journalists, SDX, named Madisonamong 16 top college journalists cited for outstanding achievement in a nationwide competition thatdrew more than 2,600 entries. "The award really shocked me because it was only the second or thirdphoto-story I've done," Madison said. The judges of the contest said any one photo could "demonstrateand carry the story of an old man's struggle with loneliness. Each phdto drew the eye and exhibitedgood technical ability." Madison, 23, is a senior in journalism at Western. He has shot photos for twoyears with no formal training. "When I realized the potential of the camera to document life, I wassomewhat intimidated by photography," he said. "A lot of the conflict fora photojournalist is askingmyself when I see a good story, whether I would be taking advantage of people," Madison said. He saidhe has avoided some stories because he didn't feel right about taking an episode in someone's life andexposing it to the world. A photographer must be an aware, sensitive person to avoid exploiting orsensationalizing people, he said. Madison, who interned this summer as a staff photographer at theSpokesman- Review and Spokane Chronicle, plans to return there after his" graduation in December. Itscombined circulation is approximately 140,000. "I still have a long way to go in photography," he said."I'm about 2 to 3 percent of where I want to be." Casey Madison is a senior at Western. He has been aphotographer for only two years.

"Western Works IV, Merit Exhibition II" is a group exhibit ofdrawings, paintings, prints and ceramics by artists Paul Chevalier, Irene Cosmos, Margarette Lee,Kent Martens, Christine McDonough, Carol Pohl, Pam Sinclair-Nixon and Becky Watson. Thesestudents were selected from the art department's second Annual Scholarship Exhibition last spring.Pohl, Sinclair-Nixon and Watson received the three $100 scholarship/ merit awards. The other fivestudents also were money award winners. Pohl said she hopes the public will take advantage of whatshe and fellow students have to offer. Her work, oil paintings and oil pastel drawings, focus on the"interior side of mankind." "So far all my works contain the-human figure even though I do d i s t o r t itfor emotional purposes." In her work Pohl explores many different ways of looking at things. Onetechnique she uses is multiple views. For instance, more than one head may be deciphered in apainting. â€¢ After she graduates in spring with a bachelor's degree, she will continue with two years ofgraduate work. Christine McDonough will display a series of four mono-prints with pencil drawings and oil pastels overlaid. The series' title is "Women Give Birth to a New Name." It is a strong work with adefinite comment on the view of women in today's society. "If it's going to change," she said, " women have to do it themselves." McDonough uses the birthing process as a metaphor. This is McDonough'sthird year at Western. The last two have been the most intense for her as an artist. "Being an artstudent is my life right now," she said. Three-dimensional clay is Pam Sinclair-Nixon's speciality.Sinclair-Nixon focuses on form and morphology in her work. "My botany and biology background hasfed into my art a lot," she said. She graduated from The Evergreen State College with a bachelor'sdegree in 1977 and in 1981 she came to Western.

By Lisa Stewart Western students Joan Behm and Julie Hanson took second and third place,respectively, in the Annual Ellen Anderson Lieber Audition for Young Singers competition inPortland, Ore., on Oct. 23. They also sang in a winners-' recital at Portland State University Sunday.The competition, sponsored by the Portland Opera Guild, drew 43 singers from the Northwest region of Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. For the audition, each contestant learned three arias, amelody or tune for a single voice in an opera. At the time of the contest, contestants sang one song oftheir choice. Aproximately 15 contestants were called back to sing the judges' choice of one of thetwo songs they hadn't yet performed. Contestants performed in front of three internationally known judges and 'approximately 50 audience members. One judge said the contestants are twice as goodas last year. Consequently, for the first time in this contest, four honorable mention awards were given.Behm, a 1982 graduate from the University of Washington, received her degree in music and liberal arts.She moved to Bellingham a month ago and currently is teaching voice lessons locally. This wasBehm's first major contest. "It was fun and exciting, but very grueling," Behm said. The contest lastedsix hours. Hanson, 21, is a music major at Western. "I've been taking five years of lessons here and Isang in high school," Hanson said. She wants to be a singer of opera and recital after graduateschool. But, she said, it probably will take until her thirtieth birthday. She plans to take more actinglessons and language classes to strive toward becoming a "great singer," she said.

Vol. 76, No. 24 Gary Hart wins 48 percent in Whatcom delegate battle Dan Pike,Associated Students vice president for external affairs, argues for a regional state university tuition freezeamendment to the platform, of the Whatc'pjn County:_ Dempcratic^Cqnvenlipn Saturday.'â€¢Â»â€¢*!.â€¢ â€¢'Vi1*'*-*-.' By Bob Bolerjack Whatcom County Democrats reaffirmed Sen. GaryHart's victory in last month's precinct caucuses Saturday, handing the presidential hopeful asubstantial win over Walter Mondale at the county convention. Nearly 350 delegates from the 40th and42nd Legislative Districts spent all day at Sehome High School electing delegates to June's stateconvention, wrangling over platform issues and listening to campaign speeches. The final tally ofcounty delegates to the state convention is Hart, 28 delegates (48.3 percent); Mondale, 18 delegates(31 percent); and 12 uncommitted delegates (20.7 percent). In last month's precinct caucuses,from which Saturday's convention delegates were selected, Hart won 56 percent of the vote; Mondale 25percent; 13 percent of the vote was uncommitted; and Jesse Jackson took 2 percent. The 42nddistrict's uncommitted block nearly failed to garner the minimum 20 percent of delegate votesrequired to earn representation at the state convention. ?" After the Credentials Committee acceptedtwo late-arriving uncommitted delegates, the block sat just short of representation at 19.83 percent.Amid pleas ftxim the-iloor. .to,;a*und~.x)flUhe-Â« figures and award the block a share of state delegates, in walked an uncommitted delegate who said car trouble had forced her to arrive late. After much loudharanguing and two disputed voice votes, the late delegate was accepted by the convention and theuncommitted block won representation. "The convention voted not to disenfranchise us," said relieveduncommitted delegate Ed Simmers. "We saw the spirit of democracy in action." Dan Pike, AssociatedStudents vice president for external affairs and an organizer of Western's "Students with Hart" club, was less thrilled with the decision. "As a Hart supporter, I was disappointed to see they got their 20percent, because it took delegates away from us," Pike said. "But I can't really complain because it was consistent with the convention's earlier decision to seat late delegates." But Richard Otis, Westernpresident of "Students for Mondale," saw the action as a boost for his candidate. "Mondale peoplewould rather see uncommitted delegates (more so than Hart supporters) because we have a strongerorganization," he said, adding he ;i .Gonfident,.mast^uncommitted. delegates eventually will throw theirsupport to Mondale. Late in the day, delegates debated more than a dozen proposed amendments to - the county party platform. Pike introduced a successful amendment to the education plank calling for a tuition freeze at regional. state universities at 20 percent of actual cost, and at state researchuniversities at 23 percent. The original plank covered only community colleges. Pike said hisamendment reflects recommendations made by the Council for Postsecondary Education in 1976, andresembles a tuition freeze bill killed by the Legislature earlier this year. "I think it will help point out togovernment officials that (the tuition freeze) is an issue that's important to people," he said. "I didn'tthink it was consistent to include only community colleges in the freeze." Other platform amendmentsincluded a statement encouraging public schools to do more .to prepare students for employment,stronger language in support of a nuclear weapons freeze and arms control negotiations with theSoviet Union and a proposal calling for an immediate . J i See HART, pageA^y^-^^k^^^^^^^i.^^ Regionalcollege misuse a 'shame,' Ross says By Stanley Holmes "The under-utilization of regional universitiesby the state is a shame in terms of programs and access to students," Western President G. RobertRoss told an audience of administrators in Bond Hall Thursday. It was the first in a series of openmeetings Ross will have with segments of Western. Next week Ross will meet with faculty, studentsand classified staff in three different meetings. Ross said he found it frustrating that two or threelegislators literally control funding for higher education. Next winter, Western will make its budgetrequests to the Legislature. Ross said the meeting was called to "ask for creative ideas andsuggestions, put them together as part of a cohesive biennial budget and present it to the Legislature."Most of the discussion centered on ways to enhance the quality of education and services, which,because of budget cuts, has affected Western's ability to provide excellent academic programs. High on the list of suggestions and complaints from the administrators was, of course, money. They pointedat the state Legislature, which controls Western's funding. In an exchange of ideas, Ross and theadministrators pinpointed programs which were hurt by budget cuts. As for planning, oneadministrator said Western was restricted "by the legislative rollercoaster." Others emphasized theneed to simplify the planning process. "In terms of planning," Ross said, "the threat we have is that theballgame may be changing and our attitude is not." The final half of the meeting, Ross concentrated onthe evaluations of his job performance, to which he said 32 of 37 administrators responded. He saidmost of the comments were favorable, although some, he said, were disappointed with hisperformance. He read one in particular. It said, "The president (Ross) has a zero personality." As thegroup laughed, Ross remarked, "Now Ive had many people say all sorts of things about my personalityâ€” but never did anyone mention a zero." For his knowledge of national trends in higher education, hisfamiliarity of Western and his relationship with the media, the local community and Olympia, he said hewas given high marks. He would not, however, hand out the figures to the audience. Ross than went onto answer questions from administrators. When asked about his role as p. ssident, he said, "I seemyself as a facilitator, and my highest priority is to get resources for the university." Ross added, "I was surprised to find Western was much more conservative than I anticipated. The students are much more serious than I thought they were, also." 'Every university different' Sherwood stresses individuality ByDan McDonald Joan S. Sherwood said she would not come to Western with preconceived solutions toproblems if she was chosen as the new dean and vice president of student affairs. Sherwood, thefirst of three finalists interviewed for the position, answered questions at a public meeting Friday in.Old Main 340. "Every university is different," said Sherwood, the assistant vice chancellor for studentservices at the University of Missouri â€” Kansas City. "They have different sets of problems and evendifferent solutions to the same problems. If I were to come here, I would not be coming with apreconceived notion of yes, we're gonna do this and no, we're not gonna do this,' because for Westernthat might not be the right answer." Sherwood, a 1956 graduate of Kansas State University and a Ph.D.from the University of Kansas, answered questions from a group of 30, mainly student affairs, people.The merger.of dean of student affairs has encountered criticism from administrators who say it'sunrealistic for one person to do both jobs. â€¢ Joan Sherwood Sherwood doesn't think the consolidation of the two positions will cause any problems. "I understand the reasoning behind it," Sherwood said."(Western's President G. Robert) Ross, when he was at the University of Nebraska, was both a vicepresident and a dean. Having done that himself, he felt whoever comes here can do that." The soft-spoken Sherwood answered questions for an hour-and- a-half. She expressed concern that very fewstudents attended the meeting, saying " t h e y ask the toughest questions." Sherwood said she hadbeen confronted by students privately. They asked, among other things, if she was in favor of a studentposition on the Board of Trustees. "I have no objection to that," Sherwood recalled telling them. "I thinkthey can provide some valuable input." Sherwood credited "very keen" budgetary skills as one of herstrengths. She talked about working at campuses which were expanding and she had to justifyeverything she wanted to do. At the same time she has been â€¢ See SHERWOOD, page 2latFairhaven?/p.6\ ---------- Western Front - 1984 April 24 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, April 24,1984 Five more scramble for AS elections By Pat Bulmer Five morecandidates announced their intention to seek Associated Students Board of Directors positionslast week. But no one has filed for the board's number-two spot, vice president for internal affairs. Thedeadline for filing is Thursday. George Sidles, defeated last year in his bid for vice president for academic affairs, has decided to run for the same position again. Inter-hall Council President Ruth Norton willseek the at-large for university residences post Steve Mittelstaedt will run for vice president for activities,while Yvonne Ward and LeRoy Raymond will contest the secretary/ treasurer position. Sidles said heis running for the academic affairs post for the same reason he did last yearâ€”to attain a strongerstudent voice in the university governance system. This can be done, Sidles said, by making sure theapproximately 80 student positions on university committees are filled. The vice president foracademic affairs is responsible for filling the student positions on committees. Sidles said he would seek out students to fill those posts rather than waiting for students to come to him. Sidles, currentlyAS Men's Resource Center coordinator, said he would try to tell every available audience that seats areopen on committees such as art acquisitions, departmentally related activities, university servicescouncil and the AS activities council. Filling those positions also would benefit future boards, Sidlessaid, by giving potential board members experiece in university issues. Running last year on theslogan of "Let George do it," Sidles blamed his inexperience in the Associated Students as onereason for his defeat. But as a member of the AS Budget Committee, Academic CoordinatingCommission and Activities and Facilities and Services Councils, Sidles said he now has theexperience necessary for the post. Norton will vie for the university residences position againstKappa hall council member Robert Chamblee. She cited her experience on the Housing and DiningCommittee and IHC as qualifications for her candidacy. By working with IHC and the dorm councils,Norton said, she could keep dorm residents informed about AS activities. Hart nabs county victory â€¢from HART, page 1 and complete withdrawal of U.S. military aid to the governments of El Salvador andGuatemala, and to Nicaraguan insurgents. Several candidates took advantage of the large gathering of party faithful to make a pitch for their candidacy. Gubenatorial candidate Booth Gardner stressed hisexperience as a public official and corporation president and said the only way to restore fairness togovernment is to replace Republican office holders with Democrats. Virginia McDermott, wife ofgubenatorial candidate Jim McDermott, called her husband "a strong leader" who couldpush keylegislation through the Legis-lecture from the governor's mansion. Eugene Wiegman, candidate forpublic lands commissioner, told the delegates President Reagan took the time to visit Tacoma lastweek "because he knows he's in trouble in Washington," because of continued high unemployment andthe highest rate of business failures per capita. Radio broadcaster Pete Kre-men announced hiscandidacy for the 42nd district House seat currently held by Republican Roger Van Dyken.

Recently the council turned down aproposed no-keg policy and currently is working to restore finals week "blow-out" hours to the dorms,she said. Mittelstaedt cited the AS board's handling of December's Tubes concert as what motivatedhim to run for the activities position. The board needs to be responsible with student money, he said,and more responsive to student needs. Mittelstaedt, who works in the AS Legal Information Office,called for the use of surveys to find out how students want their money spent. This year's Vice President for Activities, Kevin Lohman, has been largely identified with his push for a campus pub. Mittelstaedt, however, said he isn't convinced Western needs a pub. He also said the AS board should keep an eyeon the fledgling Peace Resource Center to assure it operates in an unbiased manner. Last quarter,concern was expressed the center would carry a left-leaning point of view. Raymond said his campaignplatform will be determined later this week. One issue he is considering raising is that theAssociated Students look at programs in terms of a cost/benefit factor rather than only in terms ofprofit. Raymond said he would like to see concerts, guest lecturers, historical and art programs anddocumentary films brought to campus. He said mistakes have been made in the past in the way inwhich the AS board has allocated money, but refused to elaborate. A 37-year-old business major,Raymond currently is the IHC treasurer. His opponent Yvonne Ward, . said the AS programs have beenbrought to campus without researching whether students want them. She called for the AS board andAS Program Commission to cooperate to present programs students want. Keven Chambers temptsBris Hood with drugs during a Good Friday skit performed in Red Square by members of .CampusChristian , Fellowship. A variety of programs serving different types of music audiences should bepresented, rather than several programs catering to the same audience. The Associated Studentsshouldn't have to break even on every program it brings to campus, Ward said. For example, a $2,000loss for Program Commission films isn't exorbitant, but, she said, the $17,000 loss on the Tubesconcert was. Ward urged that caution be used before the AS daycare program is expanded to include infant and toddler care. The Associated Students should analyze the current daycare to make sure itdoesn't expand on a weak program, she said. She praised the AS escort service, but explained manystudents still don't know it's available or how it operates. She also said the AS board should workwith the Washington Student Lobby and students at otherschools to lobby for legislation favorable to students in Olympia. Candidate filing last week has brought the number of AS hopefuls to 11.Sherwood visit â€¢ from SHERWOOD, page 1 through periods of budgetary reductions at UMKC."Cross training" and "computerization" were singled out by Sherwood for their money-saving qualities. Cross training allows staff from different offices to work together during peak periods, reducing thenumber of people needed, Sherwood said. Computerization also lowers the need for clerical staffs, sheadded. Sherwood also spoke of the importance of a strong campus orientation program. She said it is"absolutely essential for new students." Sherwood said she likes to get to know people before she works with them. She also pointed out the importance of a close student/ faculty relationship. "I still seemy undergraduate adviser and his family once or twice a year," she smiled. J PejCR SlNce YOUSOUGHT YOUR.

In an interviewwith the Front, Marrs, chairman of the special education department at Murray State University inKentucky, said more rigorous teacher education curriculums in colleges and tighter admissions policiesto those programs are needed to upgrade the quality of education in public schools. Marrs wasinterviewed by the School of Education dean search committee last week. Marrs said how is the time topush for the funding needed to support enhancement of programs at the college level because theissue is at the top of the public agenda and will likely fade after elections â€¢ in November. Salaries formath and science teachers should be increased to compete with those offered in the private sector,Marrs contends. While he thinks it is important to maintain high standards for those entering theteaching profession, Marrs opposes state-administered competency tests. Instead, he said the collegesthemselves should take the responsibility for graduating competent teachers. Marrs stressed theimportance of colleges working with local schools. Workshops among college administrators,instructors, students, public school superintendents, principals and teachers are a way to foster strong relations and improve the quality of education, he said. It is important for universities to take aleadership role that public schools can look to for consulation and guidance, Marrs said. At Murray State University, Marrs has begun several projects that utilize computers as teaching and research aids.One is the International Rural Education Research Consortium, a network of computers connected toabout 60 universities in the United States and Canada. It enables universities to quickly share the latestresearch data in the field of education without requiring-attendance at seminars at major universities orwaiting for publication of results. Another project Marrs heads is the Remote Electronic Practicum,also a computer network, which allows communication between colleges and public schools. Marrssaid the system can connect a university in Texas with a small rural Alaskan public school, where astudent might Lawrence Marrs need special attention not available in his area for example. The university in Texas would then design a program of study to suit that student's needs. One reason Marrs said hewants to be dean of the School of Education is so he can implement and expand more of his programs.He said, his ambitions are beyond the scope of his present position at Murray State. Marrs said twoimportant aspects of a dean's role should be to let people do what they are best at and to maintain amonitoring system' for education in the community. Klein: Not as bad as report says By RogerHayden Despite alarming reports on the quality of public education and demands to shore up thatperceived sagging national resource, acting dean of the school of education, Marvin Klein, said it is notas bad as it- seems. Klein, one of four final candidates being considered as dean for the school ofeducation, said the report by the National Commission on Excellence in Education overlooked severalpositive studies and tended to give a too negative view. Marvin Klein But Klein said he is glad the reportwas published because the attention given to education will help stimulate support for areas wherefunding is needed for improvement. Increased class size and declining salaries because of inadequatefunding are more to blame for a deterioration of quality than how teachers are being trained, Klein said.National studies show that of all college students, the bottom half tend to go into education. And ofthose, half leave teaching for more lucrative jobs in the private sector. Klein pointed out thatWashington state, however, doesn't fit the national average because pay is higher here and statisticsshow the top, rather than the bottom, half of the students go into education. Klein said he favors state-administered competency tests, but "as a package." He said before certification, prospective teachersshould be given written tests as well as ratings on classroom performances by a "case review team"based on a model program developed in Georgia. Klein said competency testing of students by theschools they attend is tantamount to law schools giving bar exams to its own students. â€¢ Klein also said he supports the ideas of merit pay and rewarding superior teachers, despite contentions by manythat measurements would be too subjective and tend to be politicized. "Judgments are made about uswhether we like it or not. Professional judgment should be worth something," Klein said. Although Kleinadmitted measuring performance would not be easy, he said, "A combination of factors would have tobe considered." He suggested non-monetary rewards such as dual research/teaching appointmentsand half-year sabbaticals for recognition of superior service. Klein said the required grade pointaverage for admission to the School of Education probably will rise in the future from 2.50 to 2.75 tolimit expected enrollment increases and improve the quality of the program. Klein also supports ongoingevaluation and revision of the core curriculum. . â€žâ€ž. The revisions could lead to a five, rather thanfour-year, teacher education program, he said. One of his top priorities if he becomes dean, Klein said, is to create a liaison position between Western and the public schools. He said he would encourageworkshops between Western and the public schools as well. Klein said he believes technology has astrong role to play in education. "We're going full steam ahead now," he said. Budgetary limitations arethe main obstacles in that area, he added. Klein will be available for a public meeting at 3 p.m. onApril 26 in Miller Hall 210.

MagnoliaBy Paul Engbrecht After frantic ciphering, tallying and scribbling, the April 16 tax deadline pressurefinally has passed. Most accountants may breathe easy until tax time next year. But for Westernaccounting majors Scott Pancoast, 23, and Lynn Dee Bricker, 22, the pressure just has begun. Thetwo seniors currently are rewriting, decoding and summar-, izing the entire 1984 Bellingham-city budgetinto a reference manual format, which will explain Bellingham's annual spending to the public and tocity hall staff members. The budget confuses citizens of Bellingham. Even at city hall, few peopleunderstand it. "If you look at the budget, you'd understand why our explanation is needed," Pancoastsaid. "We are trying to rewrite it (the budget) so the layman can understand it," Pancoast said. The1984 budget is 507 pages packed with lists of numbers and figures. The project, which is the twostudents' accounting internship, is due June 8, the last day of spring quarter. "There's so much to finishbefore the quarter is overâ€”it'll be difficult," Bricker said of the project's deadline. While Brickerrewrites the text, Pancoast is developing graphics that explain the budget in a way every citizen canunderstand: They are getting four credits each for their work. Mayor Tim Douglas, former dean ofstudents at Western, suggested the project. His suggestion prompted City Budgeting and AccountingDirector Gary Pitcher to contact Western's accounting department. ---------- Western Front - 1984 April 24 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front FRONTLINE Opinion Tuesday, April 24,1984 AS raises pay scale Next year'sAssociated Students president will receive $875 per quarterâ€”$275 p e r quarter more than the currentsalary and $150 p e r quarter more than the board's vice presidents. That increase is part of a recentlyapproved pay scale policy increasing salary a n d wages to AS officials, employees and staff. But whileit is refreshing to see pay increases that do not directly affect constituent pocketbooks, it is disturbingtosee such a pay discrepency between the president and the rest of the board. Vice President for External Affairs Dan Pike a n d Vice President for Internal Affairs Bruce Keith supported slashing thediscrepency in half, thereby making the president's quarterly salary lower, but still a superior $800. Itfailed. Pike reminded the board that the more money spent on staff and board member salaries wouldresult in less available money for student programs, an area in which Western reportedly holds t helead among four-year state universities. But t he pay scale review committee defended the amount,claiming the president does more than the rest of the board members. Does the number one positioncontain so many more responsibilities as to warrant that large a division? We think not. It is understoodthe president h a s many tasks a n d duties to attend to, but it is arrogant to assume one board memberworks that much harder than other board members. The only thing a pay division of that proportion canlead to is greater division among work a n d responsibility loads felt by lesser paid board members,employees and staff. More green and red Oregon state's motto is "Keep Oregon Green"; Washington's could become, "Keep Washington Drab Olive Green." While the nation's is becoming, "Keep the UnitedStates in the Red." Defense spending is big business in Washington, and with President Reagan's $1.5trillion defense buildup, it's going to get bigger. The n ew Navy base in Everett will bring thousands of jobs to that area within the next ten years. Ft. Lewis in Tacoma may get thousands more soldiers stationedthere in the future. All this means jobs for those areas. But it h a s a cost. While senators a n drepresentatives p u s h for defense projects in their home states, t he federal deficit goes u p a n d up.As long a s those federal deficits are up, t he interest rates will stay up. That especially hurts another ofWashington's important industriesâ€”housing and timber. When interest rates are high, fewer people canafford to borrow the money necessary to build a house. Congress will be unable to stop the ReaganAdministration's insane defense buildup until enough of its members stop pushing for defensecontracts for their state. In the long run, it would be to t he United States', Washington's and evenEverett's economic benefit to slow military spending and bring down the deficit. While defense spendingcreates jobsâ€”though relatively few considering the dollars spentâ€”it puts a strain on the economy thatcould cause a collapse of the recovery. When Reagan came to Tacoma, h e stood in front of someWeyerhauser employees and promised to represent their interests in China. It would b e more helpful if he would represent their interests while in the United States by getting the deficit down.

The Total Woman* A boon for potential brides By CarolMacPherson I wouldn't be a Total Woman until I learned how to cook. So I ventured into the 3x3 kitchenthat graces my apartment and took from the counter two cookbooks belonging to my roommate. Thefirst was a homey, lima-bean colored volume entitled "The Settlement Cookbook." The cover showed aprocession of Pilgrim women, heads bowed intently over the books they are holding (TheSettlement!?) as they marched toward a red heart near the top of the jacket. Inside the heart it said,"The way to a man's heart." I sensed a subliminal message there somewhere but couldn't put myfinger on it. I turned to the inside flap to read more about boons. I was quickly reminded of my goal tomaster the art of cooking by reading the description of "The Settlement": ". . . covers the entire field ofcookery, including mechanical refrigeration and other modem techniques." I couldn't stand it anymore. I checked the copyright. 1951. The 30th Edition. Enlarged and revised. Previous editions going back to 1901. My apron shook with excitement anticipating other modern techniques â€” like fire. - I continuedmy lesson. The flap went on to say, "The book is indispensable to both brides and experiencedhousekeepers, as well as tea-room managers, home economics teachers and dieticians." What was Idoing at Western? I should be enrolled in Tea-room Manager School. That's where the money is â€” anda man's heart, I bet. Well, it was time to try a recipe. I randomly chose a page and told myself I'd makewhatever was on it. Page 322. Peanut Butter Sandwiches. Directions: Mix thoroughly Cream CheeseSpread, page 319, or jam with an equal amount of peanut butter and spread between thin slices of bread. I did it! The Settlement mothers would have been so proud of me. What a bride I would be, what a boon!I was so happy with my newly-acquired skill that I just glanced at the second book, "Woman's HomeCompanion Cook Book." Copyright 1942. The introduction read much like my treasured "Settlement,"but rt offered this encouraging news: "Even the sterner sex can bake successfully with the help of thechapter on breads." Not macho but stern. Real stern men bake bread and fix modern mechanicalrefrigeration problems. The "Home Companion" was planned to be "a handy kitchen encyclopedia, it canhelp everybody from the bride just starting out on her career of homemaking to the more experiencedwoman in search of something new." I was on my way to a career of cookery and homemaking. I feltrenewed and eager, but I felt sorry for those poor, restless, experienced women in search of somethingnew. Since they taught me to cook, my next goal is to furnish them with a "Home Companion Unsettle-ment Book." For women already experienced in food preparation, the book will deal with other matters. ' A boon to women and the sterner sex everywhere. Reagan's Central America policy* Guns can't defuseconflict By Stanley Holmes It is appalling to learn of the blood the Reagan administration spills when ifinterferes in the internal affairs of foreign countries. The most recent example is the mining of Nicaraguanports by the CIA. It illustrates a dangerous belief within the administration that guns can solve diplomatic disputes. Instead of attempting to defuse potential military conflicts, President Reagan openlysupports warfare. His foray into Grenada is the most obvious example to date. This policy of recklessmilitarism, which previous administrations called foreign policy, detente or negotiated settlement,appears in gory detail throughout the world. The battleship New Jersey aimed its mammoth guns atinnocent villages in hopes of forcing a peaceful settlement in Lebanon! El Salvador wades ankle-deep in the blood of its brothers and sisters, thanks in large part to Uncle Sam. Two champions of anti-communism supported strongly by Reagan, Chile and the Philippines, are dictatorships beset withgrowing dissent among their people, who demand an end.to terror and repression. Reagan's foreign policy is confrontational. It smacks of blatant imperialism, and it will not aid any Third World country whosepolitical system is left-leaning. The case-in-point is Nicaragua. Reagan is telling the Nicaraguan peoplethey cannot have the government they want unless it changes to a U.S.- sponsored democratic system.Whether or not one agrees with Nicaragua's socialism, it is entitled to a government chosen by thepeople of Nicaraguaâ€”not United Fruit Company and certainly not the president of the United States!At the same time, however, Nicaragua must end its shipment of arms to El Salvador. Every country onthis planet deserves a chance to choose its own system of representation without outside interference.The U.S. must lead the way by supporting the people's right to end repression in their respectivecountries. It must do it peacefully. Violence, as Reagan has painfully shown us, is a failure. Diplomacy,on the other hand, does work. The people of Argentina recently elected a new government, thus ending its long "reign of terror" by a collective group of generals. Reagan, however, continues to finance guerilla warfare in Nicaragua. His relations with the Soviet Union echo back to the ice age with no thaw in sight.International relations are strained everywhere. Instead of accepting political differences, respectingcountries' rights to exist, comprehending the history and culture of a particular region, Reagan brings inthe battleship New Jersey and conducts diplomacy gunboat-style. When will the chaos and bloodshedend? It will end when we take the first step: voting Reagan out of office; then by realizing we are not thearbitrators of international law. We are a country that symbolizes peace in the worldâ€”period. ---------- Western Front - 1984 April 24 - Page 5 ---------- r Tuesday, A p r i l 24, 1984 Western Front 5 LETTERS Ryherd says she will address real campusconcerns Western Front: My name is Majken Ryherd and I am a candidate for the AssociatedStudents Presidency. I would like to clarify a statement made in the Tuesday April 17 issue of the Front. The Front printed a statement saying that I do not want to create issues. I do not want to create falsecampaign issues. I feel that currently and in the past year, there are and have been enough issuesupon which to voice my opinion, such as day care, the Legislative budget, programming, candidateendorsements and a campus pub. I also feel that it is very important that the candidates do take standson real issues so that the students can make decisions based on the ideologies a n d platforms of the candidates. I w a n t e d to clarify the meaning of my statement to let students know that I amextremely willing to deal with the issues. I think it is necessary to address real concerns, notcampaign propaganda. Majken Ryherd Rugby player claims Front's facts crooked Western Front: Itseems you have made a mistake in an article published in your newspaper. This latest error is located in the issue of April 6, concerning the men's rugby team. The writer of this article was asked by t h erugby team to please include our thanks to the Chuck-anut Bay Rugby Club and to Mr. DeWilde forallowing us to use t h e polo fields to c o n d u c t a recent game. You neglected to leave this in print.The original writer was also asked to state something about the lack of school administrative support inproviding an on-campus field to play a two-state championship game (which was against WashingtonState University who h a d beaten Idaho's best collegiate team). Editing changed this to, "a campusfield was unavailable." Understanding the procedure of newspaper production, I can sympathize withdeadlines, over-length stories, etc., but it seems this was a n important fact. Being sympathetic to yoursituation I believe you should become more acquainted with ours. Attempting to-secure a fieid(s) on-campus tor a club team involves going through mountains of administrative B.S. We were, in fact,able to locate a field on-campus for our game against WSU a n d in fact, h a d written permission bythe head grounds keeper to use the field across from Buchanan Towers. But unfortunately, we are only a club team, (and rugby players at that) and were sent to a n immaculate polo field in Ferndale,approximately 17 miles north of Bellingham. (This field was in a like condition after the game). Winningthis game, we went on to play Oregon State University for the Pacific Northwest CollegiateChampionship. We were not offered an acceptable field on-campus. We were offered Arntzen field which"renovation" has turned into a sand pit. Again, we were directed by Chuckanut Bay Rugby Club tofields at Burlington High School. Interestingly enough, our own Western administration could not providean acceptable field for u s to play on, a n d yet the University of Washington ottered us their fields,television coverage and equipment to use. Michelob Beer, which sponsors the tournament, would have given our union $750 to play at the UW. Unfortunately, this was a little too far of a distance for fans and friends to come and support. Thus we accepted Chuckanut Bay's offer for securing a field. Inconclusion, the correction that fields were available but the rugby team was not granted permission touse t h em is t h e proper statement. The Western Front should get its facts straight or at least consultthe writer before editing their stories. The Western administration that governs club activities should learn a lesson from the UW a n d Burlington High School about generosity of fields and the importance of t he events. Matt McCarthy Playing fields aren't usable for a reason Western Front: I would like torespond to the articles about the condition and priorities of Western's playing fields. It is not an easy job trying to accommodate all the people and groups who would like to use the fields. It is also veryfrustrating to hear all the complaints about the fields because it is a no-win situation for everyone. Atthis moment, Western has only one field that is not soggy, torn-up or being replanted and everyonewants it. . I know because I am the student in charge of intramural softball and I have been trying to getbetter fields for softball. My problem with the fields is this: Sometimes we must cancel games in aday solely because of field conditions. Then people complain because the weather is not bad. I explainthat it is the field condition and they don't understand. When we do let them play, they complain abouthow bad the fields are. In regard to club sports, it is a very different situation. Rugby and other teams are given fields. But w h e n they are torn u p to the point that they can't be used is not a n excuse to give th em someone else's field. We also must consider t h e majority of students. Granted club teams arestudents, but the approximately 100 students in club sports doesn't compare with the 1,450 studentswho signed u p to play softball.

Port Angeles School ---------- Western Front - 1984 April 24 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Fea Fairhaven mystique Meaning cloaked wr The isolated Fairhaven campus adds tothe environmentâ€”and mythâ€” of the college. â€¢ Ed. note: When an une}(pected boom in the numberof freshmen entering Western occurred last fall, housing authorities reopened dormitories at FairhavenCollege to handle the overflow. As a result, Fairhaven housing was filled with an unusually largepercentage of freshmen, many of whom found themselves living in an isolated area that had a"reputation " they didn't understand. Freshman Front reporter and Fairhaven resident Andy Perduerecently set out in search of the "real" Fairhaven College. Below are his findings. Story and photos byAndy Perdue To most associated with Western, whether student, faculty member, or Bellinghamresident, the name Fairhaven College suggests cliches of pot-smoking hippies and weird derelicts. Butto the faculty and students of Fairhaven College, and those who don't readily believe the gossip theyhear, it's an exciting learning resource and an institution to better prepare for the world. Daniel Larner,dean of Fairhaven College, said the school provides an atmosphere in which a person can develop andtake responsibility for himself. Fairhaven Professor David Mason explained. "We don't feed em, weexpect them to leam how to eat." Mason added Fairhaven caters to students wh want more control oftheir education. Mason is one of the "founding fathers" of Fai haven. He was part of a committee thatconceive and designed the college in 1966. The next yeaif students were in the first class, and 1968 hadtl first full class. This was during the Vietnam e when many students didn't believe in institution schools. "Fairhaven arose as a response," Mason sai "There was a need to reform education." The college wasdesigned to provide an alten tive. "It was an alternative interdisciplinary," Mas said. The collegeapparently was successful at givir students the right to control their own educatic and to make their owndecisions. For instance, st dents once revolted against the school's requir ment that they live in dorms.The colleges, response, dropped the housing requirement. It was during this time that Fairhaven gaine1reputation as a hippie commune and a haven fi illegal drug use. "I think the myth is partially true," Masonsai Drugs were all over Western at that time and Fai haven students were more apt to experiment withem, he explained. Larner cited the successful turnout at the Fa: haven class reunion recently asevidence the my aren't true. ir County defender Komorowski ties one on By Cheri Hoover JonKomorowski is a social drinker. That's all. When he thinks his blood alcohol level might be above thestate legal limit of .10, he'll leave his car and walk home. Sometimes he walks as far as 12 miles. Onereason forthis is that he is Whatcom County's Chief Deputy Public Defender. He knows theconsequences. In a continuing effort to demonstrate the effects of drinking on a driver's performanceand to heighten public awareness, nine volunteers participated in a "Point One-0 Rally" Saturday in theArntzen Hall parking lot. This rally was the second in Bellingham. The first was in June 1982. Saturday'srally was sponsored by Whatcom County Traffic Safety Advisory Committee, Western's ProgramCommission and the Whatcom County Sheriffs office. The drivers were: Tim Douglas, mayor; AndyFernando, Bellingham Herald; Bev-erlv Hauptli, KVOS-TV; Dave Wasson, the Front; Bill Dodd, Blaine City Council; Dave Cutbirth, KPUG; Kathi Fauber, Whatcom County District Court Probation Office; FieldingFormway, manager of ARCO in Femdale, and Komorowski. In preparation for the rally Saturday morning, Komorowski, 31, rose early and went to a local restaurant for a breakfast of eggs, bacon, hashbrowns,pancakes and coffee. After registration, the drivers took a brea-thalizer to measure their blood alcoholcontent (BAC). Each driverwas assigned an "observer," volunteers from the local high schools. Armedwith a clipboard, their job was to record every move their driver made. The physical tests seemedsurprisingly simple. None of the drivers had any visible trouble except Wasson, the Front's participant, who couldn't seem to touch his nose with his fingertip. Other physical tests included walking a straightline, heel-to-toe, turn and walk back, and reciting the alphabet. The driving course included parallelparking, an abrupt lane change and stop, forward and backward figure eight, backward garage park and a decision-maker, where the driver's instructor tells the driver to either turn right or left or continuestraight. Komorowski, and the other drivers, took several practice runs to familiarize themselves withthe course before driving the test for a score. Komorowski finished the course in two minutes fourseconds. After scores for all the drivers' dry runs, it was into the Arntzen Hall coffee shop, whichtemporarily had been changed into a bar for the rally. Two hours and six gin-and-tonic's later,Komorowski's demeanor had changed significantly. He went from a soft-spoken, well-manneredgentleman to someone a fÂ« .10 rally Above; A surprised Jon komorowski had a blood alcohol level of.16, well above the legal limit .10. Left; Komorowski accelerated to 20 m.p.h. and was able to stopwithout hitting the cone. Komorowski was one of nine participants in Saturday's Point One-O rally, ademonstration of the effects of alcohol on driving performance. Photos by Janice Keller bit moreoutspoken, friendlier rosey-cheeked. He then smiled and said he had excuse himself to go to "the littlebt room." The bartender commented that Kon rowski had consumed about 13 ounce gin. The nine"drinkers" stuck out like druff on a dark suit. The suggestion was made to pull be the tables and dance,and the room filled with laughter. The non-participa were probably as entertained as those ing part. After his final drink was downed, Kd rowski's observer questioned him ab what he thought his physical conditwas at that point. "I do not feel that I am a hazard to m gation. I feel that I can safely operatt motorvehicle. I think I'll do all right,' slurred. Just before the second driving tes "wet run," Komorowskiperformed same physical tests he had done wh sober. This time it wasn't quite as easy. In! when hewas attempting to touch his ger to his nose, he leaned so far back thu state patrolman stood behind him ensure he wouldn't fall. Komoroski continued laughing. He also had difficulty standing up. After thephysical tests were complet Steve Defries, Whatcom County She said "I doubt that I would arrest him ati point." But, DeFries admitted, he ha watched him drive. And, when his was taken it was a .16â€”thehighest sc registered that day. "That's scary," Komorowski said. "Tl tells me I should probably restrictmy; to a lot less (alcohol). I'm disappointet was hoping I'd feel a lot more affectec feel like I could safelyoperate a motorA icle. Clearly, that's not the case, andf scares me." In the last 10 years in WhatcomCoui 116 people were killed by drinking drivÂ» They injured 1,822 people, and involved in 2,984accidents.

Mason added Fairhaven students are different, and they prove that by attending thecollege. "They |jvant to go to a school that is different," Mason said. He added they often becomescapegoats because they are different. They do external things that are non-conforming, and thereforenoticed. Fairhaven College is different in several ways, Mason said. The first classes in human ecology,gay studies, and death and dying, for instance, were taught at Fairhaven. Fairhaven, in fact, has been apiodel and experiment for other colleges, most notably The Evergreen State College in Olympia.Fairhaven students also have the choice of selecting either a conventional major or making up theirown. Self-designed majors for an interdisciplinary concentration are much more rigorous and demandingthan the College of Arts and Sciences student/faculty designed major, Lamer said. gt; Communicationalso is stressed. "Discussion is the rule of the day," Lamer said. The difference in Western studentmentality is they want to hear the professor lecture, he continued. Fairhaven students are "resources foreach other, and are really interested in what other students think." "There are more things to learn than just listening to lectures and taking tests," he said. Fairhaven students are doing things more likewhat is going on in the real world, he added. At Fairhaven students are taught to communicate. Manycommunicate through writing while others, through art. Mason said, "We provide an arena to do whateverthey want. They have the freedom to do whatever they want." Lamer explained he thinks this makesstudents more independent. Mason said, "We've been labeled. Some of that is very natural, and it's allright. The students are in the presence of other students and professors who feel the same about theworld." The Fairhaven student, Mason added, Ieams to "change the system rather than be changed bythe system." Westerns cable show survives on thin budget . TV production program, despite goodreputation, gets little respect By Thad Self The monitor screen glows to life and reveals an anchorwo-man's face. Technicians scrutinize the image, watch their gauges and adjust their dials. As theanchorwoman speaks, the monitor's image changes to that of a workman spraying insecticide onBellingham trees. Scenes like this happen every Wednesday afternoon in the basement of Miller Hallwhere Western View is taped, to be shown at 6 p.m. on cable channel 10 Wednesday, and repeated at10 p.m. Thursday and 1:05 p.m. Friday. But the television production program's bank account has justbeen wiped out by an unexpected $350 phone bill. The program has no operating budget of its own.The lab fees paid by the students, $10each per quarter, are the only funds the program receivesregularly. Western View Producer/Director Tamara Van Ness, a senior, said several inexpensive butnecessary items cannot be replaced because the program doesn't have the money. "With the equipment we've got, we do the best job we can," she said. Linda Schmidt agreed. She is chief news librarian atKING-TVin Seattle and she has employed several television production students as interns, as haveseveral other departments at KING. "I was amazed," she said, "at* the students from Western andtheir ability to work with technical materials." Al Smith, 20-year veteran of KING, is in charge oftelevision production at Western. Van Ness said of him, "He's taught me more than I could have learnedanywhere else." Oddly, Smith is not a faculty member. Instead, his is a staff position, originallythrough Wilson Library. Laid off, along with half of educational media's staff in 1982, he was re-hired by the College of Arts and Sciences. "We didn't even have an office of our own until a year ago," Smithsaid. "Now we've got one in College Hall, but we need to be in one area so students aren't spread allacross campus." The lack of equipment is more frustrating. The program has no video tape editor of itsown and no adequate portable lighting equipment. These things are available from educational media,but the TV students must compete for them with the rest of the university. They aren't always availablewhen needed, Smith said. Educational media is a university service administratively attached toWilson Library. It loans out audio/visual equipment to faculty and students and maintains it. "I tellstudents to treat the cameras like their babies," Van Ness said. If any of the expensive equipment is lost or broken, it cannot be replaced. It cannot be insured because it belongs to Washington state. TheCollege of Arts and Sciences has funded the program as much as possible, Smith said. He said hesees the problem as a lack of interest in the program by Western and by Robert Lawyer, director of thelibrary, who is retiring July 1. Van Ness, whose position is unpaid, (unlike similar positions on theWestern Front and KUGS radio) sees an opposite attitude in her fellow students. "The overall dedicationlevel is very, very high," she said. When she first began in the program, she thought the studentswere cliqueish," but later realized they simply were close-knit from working together so hard for so long. Despite equipment shortages and faculty cutbacks, ed media projects like Western View, being shothere, continue to teach students basic production skills. "When you watch video, you don't realize howmuch work and how many people it takes to put it together," she said. Educational media, whichprovides most of the equipment and facilities for the program, has similar problems. GregoryBrenner is one technician who survived the 1982 budget cuts. The library, which had a total staff of about 60 at the time, had to cut 10 positions. Five of those came from educational media, cutting its staff in half, Brenner said. "It's almost like ed media was stillborn," Brenner said. "It never was promoted." Hecontrasted this with the large amount of money going into the computer program at Western. He saidhe likes his job, but complained that because of a lack of staff, educational media cannot do asprofessional a job as he would like. He also said he has to do a lot of "band-aiding" on antiquatedequipment. He chuckled at the recollection of replacing the speaker system in the Performing ArtsCenter Auditorium several years ago. The only people he could find to help him were two plumbers fromthe physical plant. "They were real nice guys," he said. Smith is the first to admit the equipment hisprogram-uses (and lacks) is expensive. Much of it carries multi-thousand dollar price tags. The costper student is higher, he said, especially compared to 300 students sitting in a lecture hall listening to one instructor. But he pointed to the demand for the program among students and the success of hisgraduates. He also noted many large companies now have their own television production facilities,and use of home systems is expanding rapidly. Smith said he spends much of his time keepingcurrent in the industry. Equipment doesn't wear out as fast as it becomes outdated, he said. TVprjduction students are in no danger of wearing out. Van Ness said, "We're probably harder on ourselvesthan any instructor. I couldn't pick a better group of people to work with." I ---------- Western Front - 1984 April 24 - Page 8 ---------- 8 Western Front Sports- Tuesday, April 24,1984 Olympic trial hopeful Athlete throws for gold JoanWilliamson, a senior javelin thrower on the women's track team, has her sights set on making the U.S.Olympic Trials. Bv Chris Caviezel Making the U.S. Olympic Trials by throwing the javelin 172-9 isWestern senior Joan Williamson's goal. "I would like to attain it before nationals come," Williamson, aphysical education major, said. Ralph Vemacchia, javelin coach, said he thinks Williamson can make it.to the trials. "She is capable of doing it. Right now she is taking one step at a time," Vemacchia said.Making the Olympics is a long shot, Williamson admits, but she said, "Once you get to the trials it is anew ballgame. Whoever has a good day will go." Williamson became interested in javelin in seventhgrade. She was intrigued after watching her sister throw. At Mount Baker High School she played on the varsity volleyball and basketball teams as well as throwing the javelin. Williamson came to Western toplay basketball, but did not make the team. She decided to pursue the javelin. Williamson trains all year for the competition. During summer she does some running and biking. The other nine months sheweight trains, throws, does technique drills and toward the end of the season does some sprinting. "Joan has a lot of positive traits such as intensity, competing well and enjoying itâ€”that's the biggest thing,"Vemacchia said. "She is very dedicated and has a lot of leadership qualities. She is willing to do thework needed in order to compete well." Williamson's biggest problem has been injuries. She has had aback injury, an ankle injury and tendonitis in the elbow. Williamson said she gets impatient after beinginjured. "I want to be where I left off, but I get a little rusty. I like to continue, not regress," Williamspnsaid. Last year, after severely injuring her ankle at the University of Washington Invitational, Williamson-proved she could come off of an injury and throw well. Vemacchia said, "At the District meet she camebackwith her best throw and won." She placedfifth at the national meet. Williamson said her dedication is reinforced by the environment surrounding her training sessions. "It is a good support core. People arenot there to do well. They are there to inspire each other. There is a team unity and team support.Somebody will yell 'good job.' It is a neat group of people to work with in the field," Williamson said.Throwing the javelin also helps relieve the pressure of college life. "It is a reason to be here somequarters. Sometimes I get down, but going to work-out reinforces it is good to be here," she said.Williamson has two othergoals. She would like to break the school record of 159-8. Her best is 152-11.She would also like to be first in the nation. "That would depend on the competition," she said. Aftercollege Williamson might continue throwing if the facilities area available. She would like to train atUW. Why? Ken Shannon, Olympic javelin coach, is at the UW. Or, "I might take a year off to heal,"Williamson said. Today and tomorrow Janell Powers will compete in the district heptathlon at CentralWashington University in Ellensburg. The heptathlon includes eight events: the 200 meters, 800 meters,100-meter hurdles, javelin, shot put, high jump and long jump. Powers has had little experience in theheptathlon. Her main events are the 400 meters, 400-meter hurdles and the long jump. "I am doing the heptathlon to help get some points for the team," Powers said. "I would like to get between 4400 and4500 points." Gannon is quick to be supportive of Powers. "I think Janell will do real well. She has beenpicking up the events quickly." The top six places at this meet will get points for the team competition at the district meet. Women rowers prevail without coach By Tim Mahoney WAWAWAIâ€”Crew is onesport where coaching the athletes during the contest is prohibited. Once the rowers launch, they areon their own. So it didn't matter much when neither Western women's crew Coach Brien Squires nor any of his assistants could make the long trip east to Pullman. The Vikings beat Washington â€¢StateUniversity in four of six races Saturday on the Snake River at Wawawai Landing west of Pullman.Openweight coxswain Donna Watkins and rower Nancy Kinney were placed in charge of the squadduring the trip, but Wat-kins said everybody helped each other out. "It was one big mutual effort." "Wedid need a coach, but it was fun to do it on our own," Watkins said. She also credited men's coach FilLeanderson with helping the team during the races. The Viking lightweights again led the way, winningboth the eight-oared and four-oared races. The eight faced Washington State for the first time thisseason and beat them handily on the 1,000- meter course by 17.5 seconds in a time of 3:41.7. The four beat the Cougars by more than 20 seconds in a tie of 4:04.2. Of the lightweights' performance, seven-oar Kim Refvem said, "The confidence--is in the boat that we can go out and put it together, and ithappens." In the novice eight-race, Western held off a late Cougar charge to win by 1.1 seconds in atime of 3:41.3. The open four won in the fast time of 3:47.4, and Watkins said, "I think the four will goplaces. We all work together really well." The open eight wound up three seats behind WSU after thestart, and stayed there before making its rally in the sprint to the finish. But the Vikings ran out of course and lost by 3.1 seconds. Still, Western's time of 3:29.6 was the best the opens have done this year,Watkins said, and if the' Vikings had had "50 to 100 feet more," they would have won. The junior varsityeight posted at time of 3:44.4 in its loss of 2.7 seconds to the Cougars. Western takes next weekend off before traveling to Tacoma for the Cascade Sprints, the northwest small-college championships on May 5. The Western women's crew lightweight eight beat Washington State by nearly 20 seconds Saturday.Left to right are: Jennifer Demitruk, Betsy Bower, Debbie Callan, Karen Stewart, Coxswain HelenBobinson, Cathy White, Kristi Moen, Kim Befvem and Jackie Barrett. â€¢ I I c o Q.

No, the club isn't a group of lonely people.The Western Washington University Dance Project is a group of students forming a dance company that would perform locally and also tour. The dance project offers students and local dancers a chance to participate in the formation of a dance company as well as to perform and experiment with innovativedance techniques. The project could be a performing company by fall, Jon LaFollette, a studentmember said. This would include touring and performing locally. Since the project just obtained AS club status at the end of Winter quarter, it is not yet ready for a performance. The first project performancewill be May 5 in Red Square as part of the Rites. of Spring annual arts event. Workshops and. weeklygeneral interest meetings currently are being offered. The workshops include films and danceinstruction given by dancers and choreographers from other dance institutions as well as membersof the project. "Jam-dance" sessions for those interested in combining dance with music by localmusicians also are scheduled for fall. The first scheduled dance workshop will be at 10 a.m. May 1. Teo Morca, renowned dancer of the local Morca Academy of Creative Arts, will give instruction in bolerodance technique. Because funding is limited, project members are looking for sponsors. Fund-raisingevents, such as auctions and dances with live music, * also are being considered: The project will workwith many forms of dance including jazz, modern and ballet and various types of music. Dancers andmusicians of every kind are encouraged to participate. Non-students are welcome, too. Danceexperience isn't necessary, George Christopher, a local dance instructor, said at Wednesdaynight's general interest meeting. Dancing will give "what you want out of it without having to put as muchinto it as you might think.

Famous photos featured at Western GalleryBy Andy Perdue Photographs from all across the United States except the Northwest are beingdisplayed at the Western Gallery in the Art/ Technology building through May 4. The photos in theexhibit are -entitled "200 Photographs from the Museum Collection" and are from the Seattle ArtMuseum. Gallery Director Tom Johnston said most Northwest photographer's work is displayed a lotand he wanted to bring in some outside work. He mentioned that in the past 10 years photography hasbecome more of an art form, which is part of the reason he brought the photos to Western. Johnstonsaid the gallery brought in two kinds of photographs. Some of the artists used light as the subject todeal with formal aspects of abstraction. This can be seen in the works of Lewis Baltz, Ralph Gibson and Wolf von dem Bussche. Others have "slightly journalistic and social comment," Johnston said.These deal with specific events and moments in time. This can be seen in the works of Robert Frankand Danny Lyon. Works by Gyorgy Kepes, Roger Mertin and Man Ray also are included in the exhibit.Gallery hours are 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Chicago, the feminist, has fought 20 years forwomen's rights. Her art reflects the struggle of a woman trying to attain equality in a male-dominatedworld. On both levels she succeeds, though not without trailing a wake of controversy. She sees thestruggle for women's independence as a paramount issue. For example, "The Birth Project" exhibitwhich began last week at the Viking Union and Chrysalis galleries and will continue through May 5, takes the wonder of birth and creates a metaphor that celebrates life and women. Her art, however, is far fromconvential. In other words, it isn't a piece of sculpture or a painting on canvas. Instead, it consists mainly of needlework. Women working for Chicago sew and patch powerful images onto quilts from her designs. ^ She has created over 100 images on the theme of birth and creation. They are elaborate anddetailed, filled with colorful symbolism of women in the various stages of pregnancy. The designs evokethe mystery, joy, pain and frustration of birth. Chicago, the artist, has exhibited her work throughoutthe world and enjoys as many critics as admirers. Some of her â€¢ peers suggest she sees themale/female struggle as to black and white. In her autobiography, "Through the Flower," She speaksoften of her struggle as a female artist. "Being a woman and being an artist spelled only one thing: pain," she said. When the women's movement bloomed in the late '60s, she began to speak out. "I spokeabout the isolation and the rejection, the put-downs and the distorta--. tions. I spoke about my angertoward men because they had used me sexually. I was telling the truth about my experiences as awoman, and I felt sure I would be punished for it." Her strong feelings led her to help found theFeminist Studio Workshop and the Women's Building in Los Angeles. In 1974, she produced a projectentitled "The Dinner Party," which chronicled the history of women in Western Civilization who hadfought at the fore front of women's independence. At each place setting was a name, such as EmilyDickinson and a plateful of sexual and socially-charged imagery. "You either hate her or love her," Julian Riepe of Western's Interdisciplinary studies said. "I found her very powerful. The most powerful artistworking today after Joseph Bouyes and Francis Bacon." Thomas Johnston of the art department agreed. "She is a very demanding person," he said. "She pushes for a revolutionary standard." The fascinatingaspect about Chicago's work, is the fusion of her struggle as a woman with her art. The result is a potent array of images that continue to haunt the mind well after the gallery is closed. This is part of a JudyChicago design now showing at the VikingUnion Gallery and the Ch rysalis Gallery until May 5. Equallydisturbing to the traditionalist in the art world, is her use of what is termed "craftwork." She combinescraft skills such as needlework, sewing, and quiltmaking â€” usually associated with women â€” andturns it into art. At the same time, she has learned tradional male crafts such as metalworks, plasticsand irons, and incorporated them into art. The "Ten Part Cylinders" and "The Zigzag Sculpture" as well as "The Birth Project." are good examples of this. "Judy Chicago makes thread and fabric acceptableas a form of art," Mary Mcln-tyre, also of the art department said. "Not that crafts are in second place. Itdoesn't matter what you use for artistic statement â€” like stick and gum â€” as long as it evokes animage." Mclntyre added she is somewhat uncomfortable with some of Chicago's views on sexism, which she characterizes as "over-simplified." She is quick to point out, however, that Chicago has been aninfluential advocate for women's activities, which she said is good. Chicago has created, lectured andwrit-tenaboutthemeaning of womanhood and the struggle to gain not only independence, but parity withmen. Some of her thoughts and creations are wonderful â€” others, highly controversial. Yet one thing isclear; she provokes thought. And that isn't such a bad thing. Commentary Note/Off note: MTV a waste of mind? By "Weird" Dan McDonald(vich) "...With a rebel yell, she cried more, more, more." Yeah, Iwatch MTV. But that doesn't mean I'm a pig-shaved, rainbow-headed, demonic baby-killer, and the kidswho spend hours watching MTV aren't destined for that fate either. MTV is just another in the long lineof ways kids have chosen to spend their leisure hours. Sure, a-lot of impressionable young sproutsmight come to the dinner table dressed like Billy Idol or Boy George. But remember the fuss over theBeatles and those damn hippies of the '70s... Every generation has a distinctionâ€” something nostalgiabuffs can look back on and say "...geez, those were the days." MTV is fun and exciting and allows theviewer a chance to escape from realityâ€” kind of like a good book. It is a chance for kids and adults (ever seen Dean Martin's, Rodney Dangerfieid's or the Three Stooges' videos?) to see their favorite musiciansperform their favorite music. For those who can't stomach the thought of a generation glued to MTVinstead of doing what they did when they were kids, it doesn't matterâ€”just eat it, eat it, eat it... By"Clean" Angela Dean No longer can the art of listening to music be achieved. Today it is the art ofviewing musicâ€” "what's the latest video," can be heard almost everywhere. Advance technology hashindered the art of quaUty music that is-pleasing to the ear. MTV started it and all the other videoshows followed. No longer do bands have to be musical: They have to be able to act and dance. Rockvideos bring down the value of rock and roll. It takes away from the imagery one can participate in whilejust listening to music. It's like reading a book and then watching the movie. Plus most bands thatbecome known wouldn't if they had only produced an album. For example, who are the Rubi-noos? Theysing "If I had you back," and drive around in the back seat of a convertible with two girls who lookalmost identical and reveal their baldness in the end. Make sense? No, but it is a fun video and thosewho watch it will remember the Rubinoos even if they don't have much musical quality. Maybe those who watch videos will be able to use imagination, close their eyes and envision what they want. NewOwnership!

Robert RossSaturday at a "Technology at Western" conference on campus. Ross told a crowd of about 100students, parents, faculty and industry offi .6 he hoped the tech department "will continue to bethoughtful and initiating in studying your programs and enriching your curriculum, and that if you're everaccused of anything, it will be because you're pushing forward rather than maintaining the status quo. "I want to assure you and the rest of the faculty and students that you will have my interest and support in that kind of endeavor and activity,'' he added. Ross cited a National Science Foundation report thatsaid training of scientists, technicians and engineers should be recast to meet the needs of industryrather than the academic community, and thaY those needs could only" be met by adopting a multi-discipline university approach. "I don't know of any better framework for this program...and the studentshere, to conduct their activities and their thoughts than within (this) framework," Ross said. TechDirector Paul Rainey apologized to the crowd for the conference invitations that said three newengineering tech programs "will be added soon." "These plans are just that," he said. "I guess in myzeal...it should have said we plan to get into those areas. (The plans) have to be approved on campusand in Olympia." Rainey also said he hoped that by the next time the visitors are See TECH, page 2Western Washington University, Bellingham, Wash. Vol. 76, No. 22 The nearly complete Indian Street fire station mixes a touch of the old with a touch of the new. Indian's 'incredible'fire station almost ready ByCheri Hoover =*" The Indian Street fire station, scheduled for com pletion the beginning of next month,offers an"in Gredibie*diffÂ©renÂ©e-"in - wori4ng--aÂ«d^ii-ving -conditions" from the former fire house,Mike Leigh, assistant fire chief, said. Although originally it was hoped the station would be completed inDecember 1983, problems with the contractor delayed completion. : The station is located so firefighterscan provide a four-minute response to a good portion of fires that may occur near Western. The stationalso serves the downtown area, an area where larger fires are more likely to occur, he said. The stationwas designed by Zervas, Taysi, Johnson and Christensen Architects in Bellingham. The design of thenew station, which may seem a bit unusual, was the copy of an existing house that was torn down tobuild the new station, Johnson said. "We mimicked an old house because before the demolition of twoblocks across the street, we were designing it to be as residential as possible," Johnson said. Thenew station will house 12 people 24 hours a day. The two-story, 87,000 square-foot building has a largekitchen, dining area, lounge, sound-proof study room, locker room and showers. ,J .,TJie. "dorm" rooms..for..^sleepingr^ are -multipurpose because the beds can fold into the walls, and the rooms can thenbe used for meetings. The station also has a small shop used for filling oxygen bottles and a high-pressure compression room for filling the air bottles the firemen carry on their backs for breathing. These rooms are placed as far away from the living area as possible because of safety and noise, Johnsonsaid. The station will house a 100-foot aerial ladder truck, two pumper trucks, two aid vehicles and aregular fire truck. The clock tower, visible from outside the station, serves as a place to dry the fire hoses. The building is also about 15 percent solar-heated to cut down on power bills. "In this day and age, that(15 percent) is a lot," Johnson said. The old building, built in the early 1900s, had been condemned, andat one time housed a horse-drawn pumper. Three candidates seek AS presidential post By Pat BulmerThree candidates have announced their intention to seek the top post in the AssociatedStudents. AS Legislative Liaison Majken Ryherd, Vice President for Internal Affairs Bruce Keith and Ron Warren, the person Keith defeated for his current job, will run for the president's job. Ryherd said she will emphasize her legislative experience in the campaign, calling for the AS to work withWestern's administration and the Washington Student Lobby in legislative lobbying efforts. Keith saidhis campaign will center around student programming and services and improving student relationswith Western's faculty and administration. Warren said he will offer proposals to "make a Westerndegree mean more." One of these proposals will be to raise admission standards, he said. ASelections are scheduled for May 8 and 9. Filing for candidacy began Friday and will continue until April26. Budget issues affecting Western will arise in the Legislature next year, Ryherd said. "Westernneeds money appropriated fairly for its programs," she said, calling on students, faculty and theadministration to work together in lobbying efforts. The AS also should work "very closely" with the WSL. The two groups need to avoid duplicating each other's efforts, she said. "The AS should have apresident who can tell legislators what Western needs. Legislators will appreciate student input," shesaid. Ryherd also said "more diplomacy" and behind-the-scenes negotiations with Western'sadministration is needed if the AS is to get Western's support for such programs as daycare expansion. She said she doesn't want to create issues during the campaign, but will take stands on those thatare raised, rejecting the approach used last year by current President Dana Grant who offered nocampaign promises. Keith criticized Western's decision to merge the Dean of Students and VicePresident for Student Affairs offices. Western is " cutting student representation in the administration, he argued. Either that representation should be increased or other administration posts should be cutalong with those affecting students, he said. Keith also called on students to speak out for improvingservices and programs. "We should make students aware they control several facilities and servicesat Western, not the faculty, not the (AS) advisers, not the administration." He said he supportsexpanding the AS daycare to include a toddler program, but not an infant-care program. Daycare,however, should not be expanded at all costs. "It needs to be proportionate to the number it represents," Keith said. Keith praised the way the AS Board of Directors studied the proposed Clash concert beforedetermining its costs was too high. "It's important to bring good programming to campus, but we have torealize the university isn't a place to house big programs." Warren called himself "fairly conservative,"and advocated raising admission standards to bring enrollment down to the Legislature-mandated level of 8,250 students. He said Western's athletic programs should be self-supporting. Warren favors theuse of AS body cards, which students would purchase for admission to â€¢ See AS, page 2 No-kegpolicy blasted Calling the no-keg proposal "vague" and "unnecessary," Inter-Hall Council membersvoted 15 to 1 against the proposed policy Thursday night. The proposal goes to the Housing andDining Committee today, where it will be voted on after hearing recommendations from IHC, AssociatedStudents board members and residence hall staff. The proposed policy calls for a ban on kegs, kegquantities and other large quantities of alcoholic beverages in the residence halls and ^university-ownedapartments:. Proponents of the policy say it will curb excessive noise, vandalism, injury, under agedrinking and other behavioral problems associated with large keg parties. Ruth Norton, IHC president,said IHC members saw many problems with the proposed policy, including vague wording in thewritten policy, an increase in drunken driving and a possible drop in students living in universityhousing. They also feel the existing rules are sufficient when enforced, she said, and they considerthis a negative approach and they would like to find a â€¢.more-positive approach to problem solving.She also said IHC members resented Western being repeatedly compared to the University ofWashington, where the residence halls have an effective no-keg policy, arguing that Western has avery different atmosphere because Western doesn't have a Greek system where kegs are allowed likethe UW does. Nash Hall representative Darren Hansen, who voted against the proposal, echoed thisopinion and added that members of Nash Hall Council don't think â€¢ See IHC, page 2 |i||plp|ii||illlllllliiliilll H||Hiii|||ilii lilllii^liiili Wraineri vpices ---------- Western Front - 1984 April 17 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, April 17,1984 Harassment policy delayed By Stanley Holmes Proceduralsnags have stalled a proposed employee sexual harassment policy which Gov. John Spellman hasrequired Western to formulate. This policy pertains to administrative, faculty and staff personnelonly. A separate student sexual harassment policy is already in effect. "The proposed policy has notbeen fully approved," Leslie Nix, coordinator of the Affirmative Action Office, said. People have asked forchanges and many have Chris Wenn, front, and Phil Senese, members of Western's Ultimate FrisbeeClub, practice for a frisbee competition this weekend. Tech program supported â€¢ ROSS, from page 1on campus, a new tech building would be under construction. Drawing plans for the building is a slowprocess, Rainey said, because they must conform to the needs of faculty, administration and thelegislature. Rainey called the conference a "very positive" event. Two visitors from Houston expressedparticular interest in Western's plastics program and Vehicle Research Institute, which wasencouraging, he said. The conference was sponsored by the campus chapters of the Society ofAutomechanics Engineers, the Society of Plastics Engineers, . Western Industrial Design Society,and the Visual Communications Socieity. Students from those societies did the majority of the planning and set-up for the event. Rainey attributed the lower-than- expected attendance to the good weather,which he said "both helped and hindered" the event. IHC blasts no-keg policy â€¢ NO-KEG, from page 1 such a policy should be imposed on Buchanan Towers or Birnam Wood apartments. He was alsoconcerned about the fairness of enforcing this policy on legal-age residents. Pam Woodard, IHCrepresentative from Gamma, said "I don't think it (the policy) will cut down on vandalism. Theopportunity is still there whether students dirnk on or off campus, and off campus there is moreopportunity for drinking and driving." She also said this policy has the potential to cause conflictsbetween staff and students. The lone vote for the proposed no-keg policy was cast by a representative from Edens Hall, where the hall council had a split decision on the policy. The two IHC members from Edens voted to represent the split, with one voting for and one against the policy proposal. Membersof Edens Hall Council supporting the policy cited reasons including concern for overall safety, vandalismand fire hazards involved with large parties.

She added the charges are concerned mainly with the organization of the document. She said she felt most people will be satisfied with the changes. Enid Haagof the Wilson Library and a Faculty Senate member, was concerned that not enoughWestern employees had seen the proposed policy. "I wanted the Faculty Senate to see it," she said. "Itis important that it is a policy everyone wants.' Haag added, "As far as I know, this is the first timeWestern has had a sexual harassment policy for its employees." According to the proposed policy,the preamble states: " . . . it is the intent of Western Washington University to provide procedures forprompt corrective action and discipline consistent with due process as an essential part to eliminatesexual harassment." "We will be looking at the revised policy at the next senate meeting," Haag said. It then goes to Western's Board of Trustees for final approval. Week increases alcohol awareness"Awareness" is the keyword in Alcohol Awareness Week The Program Commission's goal in theactivities is to alert people to the problems of alcohol misuse and abuse. "We organized AlcoholAwareness Week because a lot of college campuses, like ours, have drinking problems. We wantto make students aware of the symptoms and aware of the problem," Social Issues Coordinator RachelOlivier said. The commission has scheduled a variety of events throughout the week of April 16- 21,which includes films and a ".10 rally." One film, "Promises: Profile of an Alcoholic," was shownyesterday and three more films dealing with different aspects of drinking will be shown later. A paneldiscussion by Sally Blunt, Saundra Taylor, acting vice-president of student affairs, and Ann Wales of the Whatcom County Alcohol Information Center, will take place at noon tomorrow in the Viking UnionLounge. The film on Thursday, "The Candy Lightner Story," sponsored by Mothers Against DrunkDrivers, will be at noon in the VU Lounge, followed by a lecture from David Ritchart of the OlympicCenter. Concluding the week's activities is a .10 rally where participants take a driving test sober,then raise their blood alcohol level to .10 and take the driving test again.

Fee increases have been recommendedfor establishment of a reserve fund to improve and expand parking areas. An outside consultant wouldbe hired to determine those areas and offer solutions. Last August, the state imposed a 7.8 percentsales tax on parking fees that came out of the Parking and Transportation general budget. Beginningfall quarter, this tax will be added to parking fees. Possible future parking areas include: renovation ofthe old tennis courts by the gym between Ridgeway housing and the track; expansion of lot 9V belowViking Union; expansion of lot 24P near the Physical Plant; and expansion of two lots on 21st Streetwest of the athletic field. According to the recommendation, construction of these lots could create600 more spaces. Lots 9V, 20P, 1C, the north section of 26P and the visitor lot at the ParkingServices office all require improvements. Lots 2G and 3G would become 2P and 3P. In addition, the five"P" lots (2, 3, 20, 21, 26) would become one zone. A "P" decal would allow parking in any one of thoselots. This would give students the option of arriving on campus from the north or the south. Plans forfunding, controlling and enforcing an evening parking program would answer the concerns of manyprofessors. "The faculty is having a problem when they come back to teach an evening class," Parking Manager Dorothy Telles said. One or two lots could be reserved for faculty returning in the evening. Apart-time evening traffic controller has been hired since last quarter in answer to resident hall student's complaints. The controller works three hours a night on a flexible sche-dle monitoring resident hall lots, fire lanes and service roads. "The number of complaints has gone down," Telles said. FAC: 'Clarifystandards' By Diane Dietz The differences between how professors get tenured, promoted, salaryincreases and merit pay should be clarified and compiled in one document, the Faculty Affairs Council said Wednesday. The motion called for some latitude, in guidelines for step extension review(continued annual increases), tenure and promotion to be decided at the department or college level. Itwould take into account individual differences in achieving the standards necessary for award, said AlFroder-berg, who made the motion. The motion followed a discussion of a memo issued by ProvostJames Talbot about step extension review. Associate Dean George Gerhold said the memo deviatedfrom present practice by requiring yearly review of professors whether or not they had applied for apay raise. The memo is making policy, he said. - In a related issue, College of Arts and Sciences DeanPeter Elich said he wanted to analyze the files of those who applied for the recent merit raises. Thestudy's purpose would be "to shed light on what standards and procedures" were used to select theraise recipients, Elich said. Other items discussed were the possibility of combining the planning andbudget committees, and creating a new advisory subcommittee of the Dean's Advisory Council thisfall. Faculty present research By Kathy Abbott A presentation series, planned by the Bureau of Faculty Research, will bring the research findings of several faculty members to the entire campus. Geri Walker, program manager for the BFR, said the lectures are a chance for the researchers to present theirfindings and comments on a particular project. Presentations include the following: April' 19,Maurice Schwartz (Geology), "Around the World in 100 days: Teaching Geology and Oceanography inthe Semester at Sea Program"; April 26, Ed Montz (visiting professor, Naval Medical ResearchCommand), "Aspects of Organo-phosphate Pesticide Poisoning in Mammals"; May 3, Ronald Kendall(Huxley), "Recent Developments in Assessment of Toxic Chemical Impacts in Wildlife Populations ofthe Pacific Northwest"; May 17, Ron Singleton (Accounting), "The Impact of Taxation on InvestmentExpenditures in the Forest Products Industry." The presentation for May 24 will be announced later. Walker said the programs are open to all who wish to come. They will be given in the LibraryPresentation Room at noon on Thursdays. Despite this clever advertising tactic, the Associated Students Science Fiction and Fantasy club sponsored dance Friday only attracted about 50 people.

This forest of confusion is part of a political game between McClure and Ohio Democratic representative John Seib-erling that hasblocked passage of a bill the Washington delegation worked hard to forge. The bill would designate amillion acres of Forest Service land as wilderness area. All ten of Washington's senators andrepresentatives participated in drawing the boundaries in the bill. Since it had unanimous support from the Washington delegation, the bill was expected to sail through the Senate and then through the House.But a dispute between McClure and Seiberling about how the rest of the Forest Service land notdesignated as wilderness area will b e administered has stalled Washington's and everyone else'swilderness bill. As chairman of the House subcommittee on public lands, Seiberling has blocked theWyoming wilderness bill that would require the land not set aside as wilderness be opened for logging.The Utah a n d Idaho bills have the same requirement. Seiberling wants the Forest Service to be able tohold back some land for-possibly becoming wilderness area in the future. McClure, who supportsrequiring the land be opened for logging, has responded in kind by stopping the Washington and Oregonbills, which give the Forest Service the right to withhold some land from logging. The sooner McClure andSeiberling get off their logjams, the sooner states can start administering their lands. The West is waiting to be released. 'Law Day' hypocrisy While President Reagan was proclaiming May 1 "Law Day USA,"his administration last week gave every indication that when it comes to Central American policy, it willabide by t he law only when it serves its own aims. In separate moves, the administration announced itwould not recognize any adverse ruling made by t he International Court of Justice, or World Court,involving Central America for the next two years, effectively thwarting Nicara-guan efforts to have U.S.mining of its ports condemned; and bypassed Congress' appropriation power by authorizing emergencyshipment of weapons to El Salvador. By snubbing the World Court, Reagan has left this country open tojustifiable charges of hypocrisy from the world community. The United States petitioned this internationalbody during the Iran hostage crisis in 1980 and again last year after a Soviet fighter shot down acommercial jetliner. To abide by World Court decisions only when it appears they will be favorable showsa fundamental lack of respect for international law. The president's decision to pull an end-around onCongress, ignoring its objections and authorizing the shipment of arms to the El Salvadoran army,amounts to a violation of the constitutional spirit of separation of powers. This kind of unilateral action bythe executive branch can only serve to further tarnish relations with Congress, adding to existingconfusion over U.S. foreign policy.

Don'tsuppress the majority Keg policy not a solution Aconservative trend seems to be creeping in where it isunwanted and unwelcomeâ€”into the living quarters of the more than 3,000 students residing in university-owned and operated housing. First was the issue of "blow-out hours." For those unfamiliar withblowout, it used to be a period each evening during finals weekwhen residents could let loose andmake noise for a half-hour to break the monotony and stress of studying and having to be quiet 24 hours a day. For various reasons, By Janice Keller some valid, some unclear, this practice was abolished in favor of "more appropriate" stress reduction activities, such as free movies and SAGA food. Nowuniversity dwellers are facing the possible adoption of a proposed "no-keg policy." If approved, this policywill ban kegs, keg quantities (whatever that means), and other large quantities of alcoholic beverages inthe residence halls and university-operated apartments. It is the contention of those who proposed thispolicy that it will curb noise, vandalism , under-age drinking, injuries, and other problems often associated with keg parties. Taking away large amounts of alcohol will not solve these problems. They must bedealt with directly through existing state and university laws, rather than banning this and that and hoping it will all go away. Cuts leave cloud of instability â€” â€” Damage to rooms from parties not limited insize should be paid for with the $90 damage deposit charged to students entering the housing system.Those who want their deposit back will care for their rooms. Those who don't will forfeit that money. Ifsomeone decides to have a keg party and it turns out badly, they will suffer the consequences and learna lesson. But the chance to do so shouldn't be taken away in the first place. Making decisions on yourown is what growing up and going away to college is all about. If someone at the top is always dictatingwhat you can and cannot do, how will you ever learn? These few at the top are proposing newregulations without really listening to the concerns of the vast number of people their decisions willaffect. Western's Inter-Hall Council voted 15 to 1 against the no keg policy. The council also is lookinginto repealing the decision to eliminate blow-out hours. The answer is to concentrate on nailing thosewho repeatedly violate and abuse the tranquility of the campus with existing rules rather thansuppressing the enjoyment and the rights of the majority who don't. Helloâ€”are you guys listening?Certain prohibitive rules are understandable, such as no fireworks, because they apply as well topopulations outside the university. Leave the rest of the strict regulations to private schools wherespecific interests are being served, because at Western they seem excessive. (Janice Keller is a Frontreporter and a resident aide at Gamma.) Athletics need bolstering Western appears to be making aconscious effort to improve its existing athletic program. Last year Western added some assistantcoaches and upgraded the varsity training facilities, reversing a trend that began in 1981. That spring adecision was made by Western's Board of Trustees that set the tone for the future of varsity sports atWestern. And it wasn't good. Six sportsâ€”baseball, wrestling, field hockey, golf and men's andwomen's tennisâ€”were cut from the program, leaving a cloud of instability and anger in its wake. Thecuts, recommended by then President Paul Olscamp, were approved by the trustees before theAssociated Students had a chance to work out an alternative plan. The Associated Students cried "foul." According to Substitute House Bill 1480, passed by the Legislature in February 1980, the AssociatedStudents should have had some voice in deciding which sports were to be cut, or if a cut even wasnecessary. Instead Olscamp formed a faculty committee, or demolition crew, which contained no onefrom the athletic department, to decide which sports were to be axed. Olscamp said a committee wouldreview the By Dan McDonald sports program in 1986 to see if it was meeting the needs of the students. He probably hoped the sports cutback would be accepted and forgotten by the students. Sure, afterthree years much of the bad feelings have subsided as the memories of those sports become as dulledas the trophies they left behind. But Western's new president, G. Robert Ross, may be the bright light inthis otherwise dark picture. Ross appears to be more involved with athletics than his predecessors. Healready has done more for sports than most of them didâ€”he goes to the games. That could be a goodsign, sports fans! When and if Ross re-evaluates the sports program in 1986, the number one priorityshould be to bolster existing sports, especially football. The team has managed only four wins in thelast four years. Western can boast six championships in the eleven sports it participated in last year. But face it, a school's athletic program is measured by the success of two main sports: football andbasketball. Football should be revived before any new sports are proposed. By strengthening Western'sfootball program, a signal of stability would be received by prospective student athletes, once and for allsquelching past rumors that "football was the next to go." The future may bring even more budget cuts toan already under-financed athletic department. But regardless of what happens, the AssociatedStudents and Western athletic directors should get to decide where their money goes. ---------- Western Front - 1984 April 17 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, April 17,1984 LETTERS Prof Calls Front exam editorial 'shortsighted' Western Front: I findyour editorial of April 10, "Exam idea flawed," shortsighted nearly to the point of being distasteful. Itsmacks of the very sort of thinking that finds Americans increasingly isolated in a world that is becoming increasingly cosmopolitan. Further, it bespeaks either an insensitivity to or a misunderstanding of the concept of a liberal-arts education. My God! In the same sentence you contrast foreign language studyon the one hand with degree requirements, GURs, and electives on the other hand, as if the latterwere independent fields of knowledge worthy of study in their own right. Your arguments against foreignlanguage study lack foundation. Do you honestly believe that our businesses and industries, which are"going international" to an ever greater extent, have no need for persons trained in business andtechnology who can also communicate with colleagues in other countries in their language? Whatcould be more economically or politically meaningful? With regard to students' troubles with their ownlanguage: my own understanding of English was never furthered more than by the study of "someoneelse's." When I say this to other people who have also studied a foreign language, they almost invariably agree that this was true for them as well. Foreign language study forces you to examine your ownlanguage (and yourself) in ways that you would never have thought of before. Whether you like to think of it this way or not, the graduates of Western join the graduates of other colleges in this country asAmerica's educated elite. The person with a degree is still in a decided minority in this country. Western Front 5 It is you and the other college graduates who will be far more likely to travel abroad in thefuture. What impression will you leave? What knowledge will you bring back? Are you willing to letdegrees shape the future of America, or will you give educations a chance? Here is one raspberry foryour editorial, and one vote for foreign language education. Steven Aronoff Assistant Professor ofGeology Reader says no-keg proposal is propaganda ploy Western Front: The proposal to ban kegsand "keg quantities" of alcohol from university housing is as good an example of minority factionpropaganda as I've seen in years. As in all propaganda campaigns there are the obligatorystatements of safety being of prime concern, and affecting only a minority of students. Like you, I was at first outraged at Western's resident directors for proposing this ban. But after closely examining thisissue I don't believe that this proposal was a product of resident director brainstorming. I believe thisproposal originated in a board meeting somewhere on the top floor of Old Main. This proposal fits innicely with university policiesâ€”the cleaning up of Fairhaven and the on-campus pub debate are a fewexamples. This university is getting caught up in the conservative renaissance that is numbing thenation. When voting on this proposal I hope all will look beyond the vandalism and safetysmokescreen and see the purpose of this proposal: to limit alcohol consumption and gain additional power for administrative manipulation of the students, the result of which will be the elimination of free and innovative thinking, which in turn will lead to the stagnation and eventual deterioration in thequality of education here at Western. Chris Tenzler 45,000+ commentary called 'emotional' WesternFront: The Front's April .10 "Lysis-trata" commentary is a notable example of journalism at its worst.For its thesis it proffers the nonsensical proposition that anonymous vandalism is great if it delivers thecorrect message. The message, in this case, is that the U.S. should stop all aid to El Salvador. Forsupporting arguments the author simply borrowed, unaltered, the absurd simplicities of the CISPES line. No attention whatsoever was directed to the serious consequences of such action. The inevitableresult, of course, is that the country will fall to the Marxist gangsters. It will then become a fascist state,like present Nicaragua and Cuba. This commentary provided no insights nor did it say anything thatwas new. The only ingredient that it added was some emotionalism. However, it did so in a way thatcaused me to have the impression that I was reading the lines from some maudlin song.

STRATA EVENTS: "Meet Your Professor" seminar from 4 to 5 p.m. ---------- Western Front - 1984 April 17 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Cafe venture a blooming success Western graduate Don Shank knows starting abusiness isn't easy. For Shank, it was a struggle from the time he, his wife Carol and a friend, Marie-Paule Braule, invested in a restaurant on Chuckanut Drive more than a year ago. In addition to having afull credit load to finish his speech communications degree, he worked three to four evenings a week asa bartender and waiter at Chuckanut Manor. Shank also spent thousands of hours working to renovatethe old wooden gas station the three partners purchased to build their eatery. "Organizing my time wasdifficult," he said. Shank spent his mornings in class and his afternoons studying and running errands. If he wasn't scheduled to work at the manor, he diligently was laboring on the soon-to-be-namedRhododendron Cafe. The old building needed a new plumbing system, insulation, electrical work,painting and landscaping. A new entrance deck, decorating ideas, business designs and menu plansalso were needed. New club strives for fresh ideas on etiquette By Diane Dietz Dressed in white linen,black sleek and red oriental, the Diana Vreeland Society had its "coming out" at Casa Rosa Thursdaynight. With a fern, fig and philodendron backdrop, the resplendent members of the latest AssociatedStudents-sponsored club approved their official slogan: "Why wait until the future to become famous?"Diana Vreeland, the group's namesake, is the "Grand Dame" of New York City. Past managing editor ofboth Vogue and Harper's , the 78-year-old dilettante now is special consultant to the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A candid autobiography edited by George Plimpton and ChristopherHemphill is due out in June. Alan Hulse; not the DVclub president ("the American aristocracy has notitles, just bank accounts") held the floor with a ball peen hammer. The society spent the rest of itsrendezvous discovering who and why it is. "The whole idea is to have fun, and fashion is fun," Hulse said. "Someday we're all going to grow up and we'll have to know how to behave," Robin Daly said. Anothermember offered, we're doing it so we "can write in Vanity Fair in 20 years about our experience."According to the club's charter; "Many of us here at Western Washington University are destined forprofessional careers. That we be scholars, people of business, art dealers, insurance agents,museologists, artists, career diplomats, spies, interior decorators, waste-management consultants orsmugglers there are skills that will be needed by all of us that are not normally transmitted in theacademic confines of the University...In short, we hope to cover all those needs which may extend frombarroom to the ballroom." To meet its objectives, the society plans bi-monthly workshops to helpstudents "cultivate their own tastes."

CL pie," "What to say if the Pope comes to your party" and "How to crash a party gracefully." Possible future club events also were discussed.The first was a May croquet party on the front lawn of Old Main. Sportsmen will retire to a garden party,and they'll "invite the trustees, the President and Mrs. Ross," a member added. A committee wasformed to seek approval from the activities council to acquire a "croquet permit." A second eventsuggested was a "coming out" for the young debutantes. The thought was later amended to "includerenewed virgins." The third event mulled was a Sears credit application party. Society members would fill out credit forms and receive the $3 gift Sears offers. The proceeds would be pooled to fund a club event.Hulse questioned whether AS by-laws would allow the society to make a profit. "Were an AS club. We've got to do it the AS way...besides there is a reporter from the Front here," he said. The idea of formingthe Diana Vreeland society began two years ago when a few of its founding fathers decided to have anetiquette party. The party never came off, but the idea developed and last January when Jo-D Smith wasapplying to the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, the club members thought, "Wouldn't afashion club look great on her resume." What began as a fashion and arts club evolved into the DianaVreeland Society. The society got its club status from the AS two weeks ago. Greg Rogers, the society'sinterior design consultant, said the society is dedicated to the 19th century notion, "if you surroundyourself with beautiful things, you yourself will become beautiful." The sign in front of him, illuminated bya wrought-iron and marble floor lamp said, "Reserved for the Diana Vreeland Society, Your Cultural Oasis in the Desert of Life."

By Kris FranichEditor's note: Kris Franich is a member of the women's rugby team. The men's and women's rugby teams have different coaches and do not play or practice together. As hosts of the state collegiatechampionship game, Western men's rugby team had more than the visiting team to worry about. Theclub wasn't permitted to use an adequate field on campus. Consequently, Western played the game atthe Bel-lingham Polo Field. "The guys had worked six months for the collegiate title and then they had to beg and plead for an on-campus field. It's just a joke," Coach Gerry Henson said. Intramurals directorJudy Bass allots the fields to teams. She believed the fields were too wet for the Warthogs to host thegame. Wet fields are easier to damage. Henson resorted to asking Emil DeWilde, property owner of theBel-lingham Polo fields (which is Chuckanut Bay Rugby club's facilities), if it would be possible to playthe championship game at his field. "It must not have rained as much in the county as it did in the city in order for us to play at the polo fields," Henson said. The intramural field priorities are varsity, becausea schedule is needed in advance; intramurals and open recreation, because of the large number of people involved; and last, the nine club sports. Club sports have least priority because fewer people areinvolved. Grounds Supervisor James Amends said "Rugby can't be played on any of the high play fieldsbecause they tear them up so bad and the fields need to be available for other activities." The high playfields are the fields behind the tennis courts and the two across from Fairhaven. The men's rugby teamwas offered the field behind Arntzen Hall, but they decided not to play on it because, "There is so muchsand on that field, it's a beach," Warthog Jon Sitkin said. He added, "You can't play rugby in theVvfestem Ploymd â€¢ G) sand. The sand is slow and is more susceptible to leg injuries. It's just notplayable." Bass said, "The field was muddy so sand and a layer of dirt was applied to soak up themoisture and new seed was planted. But it hasn't had time to reseed. They worked on the field in thewinter thinking it would be ready in the spring, but it has rained too much." Sitkin said,"We called theUniversity of Washington to reserve their field, just for a last resort for Saturday's game against OregonState University for the regional championship. They said it would be no problem." Henson said, "Whatthe hell are the fields for if we can't play on them? I'm embarrassed to say I am a Western alumnus."Bass said, "Even though they're nine active club sports, we're never sure if there will be someone tomake them exist from year to year." John McCarthy, the women's rugby coach, said coaches for clubsports are volunteersâ€”he has spent "too much time" trying to find fields lately and it is beginning tocut into his job at H L Sporting Goods store. "I might have to give up coaching if this continues," hesaid. Meanwhile, the men's lacrosse team played two home games at Mount Shuksan Middle Schoolbecause the campus fields were unavailable. Men's lacrosse team coach-player Rob Cuomo said, "Weeither tear the fields up or it's too wet." Cuomo said the team still is waiting to hear if Bass will allowthem the rest of the home matches on campus. "If we can't use on-campus fields, we'll just have fo finda field within the community," he said. The West Coast Women's Rugby Union has decided they willnot allow the teams to play at Post Point in Bellirigham, where Western has been playing their homegames this half of the season. Women's Coach McCarthy said, "If Post Point becomes our home fieldwe'll be forced to either forfeit all our home games or play them on the opposing team's ground, whichmeans playing all our games in Canada." Bass said, "I don't know the background on that so I'd rathernot comment. I'd hate to see that happen, though." McCarthy believes some people should sit down and figure this field problem out. Henson said, "We're not asking for the world, just a field." Western studentcaptures boxing title Western student Ronnie Warren defeated Marcellus Allen of Oregon, formerjunior nationals champion, for the West Coast amateur boxing title in the 165- pound class. ByElisa Claassen Western student Ronnie Warren, 22, won the West Coast amateur boxing title in the165-pound class at the Las Vegas Showboat Hotel on April 7. Warren fought Marcellus Allen of Oregon,a former junior nationals champion. He put a straight left to Allen's head 18 seconds into the thirdround to end the fight. The previous day, Warren fought Kurt Hall of California, who had beaten the 156-pound Russian world champion. Hall, who fights for the Navy, kept Warren in the ring for the entire threethree-minute rounds. "They call it the toughest nine minutes in amateur sports," Warren said. Duringthose tough nine minutes Warren jarred his wrist, which has given him problems all year, bruised his eyeand his nose. Warren, who has boxed for 14 years, is one of the 12-member Washington team. Whenthe team's 165-pound member couldn't go to Las Vegas, Warren took the opportunity, on the advice ofhis coach, to lose seven pounds and step into the lower-weight class. (He had won locally in the 178class.) The night before the fights he jogged the Las Vegas strip wearing plastic warm-ups. Now he must maintain the weight. The weigh-ins at nationals are more frequent and must be exact to the ounce,Warren said. The win is Warren's ninth West Coast title. His career includes four regionalchampionships, gold medals in the Junior Olympics and the 1980 Kick-Boxing (a combination of Karateand boxing) West Coast championship. In February this year, Warren had two local knockouts. Thisweek the national championships, with 30 regions represented, are in St. Louis, Mo. Warren is in the topfive, for the third time. The eight Olympic boxing team members will be chosen from June 6 to 10 in Fort Worth, Texas. Tickets for the Las Vegas tournaments cost $300 to $500. Some 10 to 30 local fansattended. The tickets are expensive and the distance great. Not many Western students attend thefights, but are supportive. "They always honk while I'm jogging," he said, adding it is encouraging. Lastweek he practiced in Everett every day for three to four hours and did homework. Warren is one of thefew college-educated contestants. "None of the other Washington state members go to a four-yearuniversity. I am one of a handful that goes to college in the nation." "Our school is more participationthan competition," he said. Next year the United States American Boxing Federation will present himwith a scholarship for the college of his choice. Western club teams get 'no respect' Like RodneyDangerfield, Western's club teams don't get respect. They're underfunded, last on priority lists for use of university fields and largely ignored by students and administratorsâ€” despite the men's rugby team's recent state championship, the hockey team's third Western United States title, and the men'slacrosse and women's rugby teams defense of their respective titles. Certainly, championship teamslike these deserve more respect. But the recent exile of the men's rugby team to an off-campus field isonly the latest example of a system that fails to serve club sports adequately. Surely, Western musthave at least one field on which rugby could be played. If a fairer system of assigning field-use were inplace, the rugby club would not have to be banished from the university. But trie club teams probablyare used to this kind of treatment. It has been going on for years. Last year, the Departmentally RelatedActivities Committee, with a budget of more than $360,000, allotted just $9,852 to club sports. Thatmoney doesn't go far considering it covers men's and women's rugby, tennis and lacrosse, men'svolleyball, the hockey, skiing and sailing teams plus club sports administration. Intramurals DirectorJudy Bass reported the club sports' budget has remained at the $9,500 to $10,000 level for the pastthree years, ever since its administration was shifted from the Associated Students to DRAC. Shesaid she expects the clubs' funding will remain at this level next year. Since DRAC's budget comes from Service and Activities fees (which cost students about $62 per quarter), only an unexpectedenrollment hike will greatly increase the club sports' budget. For athletes on the club teams, thisminiscule funding means they must fork out plenty of their own money to play their sports and representthe university. Earlier this quarter, player-coach Rob Cuomo told the Front that lacrosse team memberseach spend $200 to play that sport for Western. .' Hockey coach John Utendale estimated his playersspent about $500 each this year, and will spend about $1,000 next year to play in the Pacific Collegiate League and defend their Western United States title in Los Angeles. These two teams, like the otherclub teams, represent this university well. Western should return the favor. Commentary â€”By PatBulmer ---------- Western Front - 1984 April 17 - Page 9 ---------- Tuesday, April 17, 1984 Western Front 9 All that remains is a TRIO By Tim Mahoney I n the autumn of1980, more than 80 young men stood on the shores of Lake Samish, seeking to row for the Westernmen's crew team. In the spring of 1984, only three of those young men remain. Gene Bowen, TylerMyers and Doug Henie enduredâ€”and excelledâ€” where many others quit. All three row in thelightweight boat. All three live together. Crew is not an easy sport. Many drop out, discouraged by theirslow progress, the switch from afternoon to early morning practices, the cold weather, the crew-culs or grade problems. By racing season, Myers said, only 12 of the original 80 were left. When it came timeto return for a second season, only seven returned. Bowen remembered the discouragement of hisfriends. ;'Me and Ty and Doug would be hanging around and I'd say 'yeah, we're going to be four-yearoarsmen.' That was the ultimate goal." Myers said, "I found it really tough. I wasn't as big as I amnow, and I wasn't in the best boat. It was really frustrating, and I just wasn't getting the results." Heniegot up early for four years in high school in Sitka, Alaska for swim practice, so he found the adjustmenteasy. "I was used to the commitment of getting up early," he said. Eventually, all became addicted torowing. Myers said, "Every year about midwinter, you say to yourself, 'Why am I doing this?'" "I couldbe in bed sleeping in instead of getting rained on and wouldn't be tired all the time. You're always tellingyourself'I'll quit after this year and then racing season comes and it's...I can't exolain it." What gotthem into rowing in the first place? Myers had a friend, now women's crew head coach Brien Squires,who rowed for Western's lightweights in the late '70s. Henie arrived at .Western from Sitka and found noswimming program. Looking for something to keep him busy, he saw the recruitment poster. He went to the meeting, remembering "I didn't really have any idea what it was about," After watching a slide show,he decided "it looked super fun" and signed up. Bowen, only 5'7", came to Western from Puyallup toplay football. He made the team, but quit before school even started. "I thought it was going to besomething different from what it was," Bowen said, who played for nine years, "It wasn't fun anymore."So, he tried rowing. "The first time I got into a boat, I was hooked," he remembered. "My Last year wasone of the best years for the senior trio of Tyler Myers (front) Gene Bowen (center) and Doug Henie(right). They beat the University of Washington lightweights in Seattle. Bowen said, When we beatthe Dawgs down there, that was probably the high of my career." This year, the lightweights have hada slow start. But Bowen still has confidence the boat will move like it did in practices earlier. "The bigraces are yet to come," he said. first year, I lived it." Making weight for the lightweight boat is aproblem for them. Normally, Bowen and Henie weigh around 170 pounds. Myers usually is lighter, butthis past off-season, he has been aver- Three pieces of bacon, lean and crispy. Two beef DIIDfiCDpatties, flame-broiled and juicy.

After hitting the salads and slowly working their weight down during winter quarter, the threeeat less and less during the week, eventually fasting on Friday to make it under the 160-pound limit forlightweights. Men's head coach Fil Leander-son had high praise for the three. Although all three aredifferent individuals, he said they all set high level of expectations for themselves, are consistent in theirpractice performance and demonstrate good on- and off-the- water workout leadership. "Pound for pound, I'd say they're pretty good athletes," he said. The three lived in Delta their freshman year and got toknow each other through crew. They rode in the same carpool and stuck together. This year, they roomwith each other in a Birnam Wood apartment. One wall of their living room is covered with rowingmemorabilia, everything from a broken seat panel to newspaper clippings to the photographs that arearranged to spell "WWU". Despite a near-inseparable friendship formed through the years, the threeoften bicker with each other in a sort of "M*A*S*H at Lake Samish" situation. "Yeah, we hate each other a lot," Myers said. "Not all the time," Henie corrected. "Just 80 percent of the time." Bowen pitchedin. "Naw, we really don't hate each other. Except Doug. I really hate him." Last year was one of the best years for all three. They beat the University of Washington lightweights in Seattle. Bowen said "When we beat the Dawgs down there, that was probably the high of my career." Thisyear, the lightweightshave had a slow start. But Bowen still has confidence the boat will move like it did in practices earlier."The big races are yet to come," he said. The three are not looking forward to their crew careersending, but all have had to make sacrifices for the sport. Myers gave up skiing for fear of wiping outhis knee and his crew season. Bowen quit work to row. Henie has not been able to take a springvacation trip with his family in four years. For their last weeks as Western rowers, they are shootingfor a trip to the Western Sprints in Sacramento, Calif, May 19 to 20. "It would be nice to cap it off with a big road trip to California and a good showing," Bowen said. And, when next winter's cold, rainymornings come and these three aren't on the shores of Lake Samish, they will be missed. "I'd like totake a dozen-or-two more of them," Leanderson said. Vike golfers swing clubs to crush WildcatsBehind a scorching four under-par from freshman Alan Patterson, Western's golf team defeated hostCentral Washington University Friday afternoon in Yakima to win the Central Invitational. Trailing byfive strokes after the first round, the Vikings beat the Wildcats by six strokes, 782-788. In the'first round,another freshman, Steve Nightingale, led the Vikings with 76, tying with Whitman College's Pete Fraleyfor the individual honors. But in the second round Patterson, who trimmed 17 strokes off his scorefrom the previous day, with a 67, helped spark Western to a 381, 20 strokes better than the day before.The second day of the tournament was better for most of West-em's squad with nearly all playersimproving on their first-round score. The exception for Western was Nightingale, who added a 77 to hisfirst round 76 for a 153, while senior Hazli Cotton was eight strokes off Patterson's pace with a 159.Other Vikings competing were Brian Cayton and Greg Ashby, who both shot 160s.

Kathy Miller had solid performances in the 200 meters,400 meters and both relays. "Kathy had been there for two or three weeks," Coach Tony Bar-tlett said."It was about time she let it happen and she did." "I wanted to run fast. I have not been able to break 58seconds in the 400 meters since my sophomore year in high school. I told myself to think of it as apractice. I thought about how I was supposed to run," freshman Miller said. Miller placed second inthe 400 meters (57.6). That performance broke Janell Powers' 1983 school record. In the 200 metersMiller also place second (25.8), breaking Christy Smith's 1980 school record and Powers' 1983 record.Miller teamed with Lola Johnston, Diana Holly and Kay Archer in the 400-meter relay. Their second-place finish tied the 1983 school record. Miller, Powers, Johnston and Jeanna Setera won the 1600-meter relay (3:56.8). That broke the old meet record set by Bel-levue Community College in 1981. Cathy Kroll placed fifth in the 3000-meter run. Her time of 10:04.6 broke the school record set by MarilynThibodeauin 1982. "Cathy had the best single performance," Bartlett said. Powers won the 400-meterhurdles (1:05.2). This was her best performance in the event. "This is her first year running the 400hurdles. It has been tough because she has not been pushed," Bartlett said. Setera won the 800 meters (2:17.3). Seter? had been sick Thursday night and Bartlett wanted her to run a smart, tactical race.Setera used her speed to win the race in the final 100 meters. Diane Gort won the discus (122'-83/4")and Felicia Bodey placed second (lW-1/*"). . Joan Williamson won the javelin (148-1") and Rhonda Haag placed third (139-9"). Karen Gannon did not compete in the 100-meter hurdles or long jump andKristy Dees did not high jump, both because of injuries. Gannon competed in the shot put, a new eventfor her this year. She placed third with a toss of 35'6". "It is good to have somebody as versatile asKaren. In the next couple of years she will be a good heptathlete," Bartlett said. The meet record in the1500 meters fell to Heather Sullivan of the University of Puget Sound. Her time of 4:37.9 broke LeahPells' Simon Fraser University record set in 1983.

Women's crew paddle to victories By TimMahoney Rowing in sunny 70-degree weather, the Western women's crew lightweight and open-fourboats rowed to victories at the Western Invitional Rowing Regatta at Lake Samish last Saturday. Thelightweight-eight boat notched an open-water victory against Green Lake Crew's lightweights, whichbeat Western earlier this season at a race in Canada. Viking assistant coach Rachel LeMieux saidWestern led from the start and eventually pulled away for a seven-second victory in a time of 3:39.5. Agroup of lightweight novices then took out a four-woman shel-land raced away from the field with an 11-second victory in 3:57. Assistant coach Ed Maxwell noted the time was fast for any four, let alone alightweight four staffed by first-year rowers. Betsy Bower, who set the pace for the four, gave her allduring the races. After the four victory, she collapsed on the docks near the finish line. "We were reallypleased with the way we rowed," she said, adding the four had been together for only one day ofpractice more than a week ago, including last week's victory in Tacoma. "The whole boat is sopositive, and we also work really together," Bower said. The open-weight four also won its heat in a timeof 3:54. LeMieux said it was a "really close race up to the last 250 meters." Then the boats tangled upand oars clashed. At that point, she said, Western's boat took a good lead to bring in the victory. Inthe other heat, the only boat that beat Western's time was from the University of Washington with a3:49. In other races, the women's novice eight put up a good battle. They finished third, two secondsbehind UW's number two boat, rowed by the much-larger Huskies. Other finishers were: open eight,fourth, estimated time between 3:39 and 3:40; junior varsity eight, third, 3:57; and Western's otherlightweight four, fourth, 4:17. This weekend, Western loads the boat trailers and heads east of theCascades on a trip to Pullman for a dual meet with Washington State University. LeMieux expectedWestern to do extremely well at WSU's new course on the Snake River. With Western's open eightsrecovering from a touch of flu and facing an unknown quantity in the Cougars' lightweights, she picked those as the most interesting matchups. Men's track sets records By Elisa Claassen The Westernmen's track team broke seven personal records to highlight the Western Invitational Meet Saturday.Topping the list â€” on the sunny day â€” was Rick Bucken-meyer in the 3000-meter steeplechase.His personal best time of 9:20.8 was four-tenths of a second from national qualification. Buckenmeyerplaced second while Brad Alexander placed fourth with 9:51.8. Rafael Jacobo set a personal best in the110-meter hurdles (15.3), placing second, and another in the 400-meter hurdles (55.9). Although ChrisBjarke finished fifth in the 800 meters, he had a personal best of 1:54.9. Other personal bests wererecorded by Rick Anderson in the 400-meter hurdles (55.4), Paul Thorsteinson in the 200 meters (22.7)and Steve Monda in the high jump (6'6"). Kurt Hanson place second in the high jump (6'6") and MikeScruggs placed fourth (6'6") because he had more missed attempts than Hanson. Mike Dubucmaintained his position as the meet's defending champion in the 10,000 meters (32:01.5). Rick Sherman finished third (33:25.5). Mark Browning won the javelin (174'6") ahead of teammates Sam Schaefer(157'2") and Roger Goodwin (155'9"). They finished fifth and sixth, respectively.

The exhibit is a series of needleworkpaintings By Paul Engbrecht Modern Western civilization tragically lacks creative art expression thatcelebrates woman as the goddess of life, said Susan Lynn, director of public information for thecontroversial art collection "The Birth Project." Judy Chicago's "The Birth Project," which features birthas a metaphor for the creative process, fills this modern artistic chasm with a series of needleworkpaintings and drawings with the theme of birth and female-inspired creation. Lynn said Chicagopresents an "understanding of the female as creator and an awareness" to our time through "The BirthProject." Before starting this project, Chicago did extensive research on matriarchal creation mythology,including the study of women in primitive tribes, American Indian society and African cultures.

One of the 80 exhibition units comprising "The Birth Project" opened Monday at the Viking Union and Chrysalis (Fairhaven College) galleries in a joint exhibition continuing through May 5. "I'mreally excited to have Chicago's work hereâ€”she is one of the most well-known women artists workingtoday," Kitty Brougham, director of Chrysalis Gallery, said. "The subject of birth is essential to ourexistence, so this work is of universal importanceâ€”something we can all relate to," Brougham said.Chicago currently is in Santa Fe, N.M., working on a book and could not be reached for comment.

Vol. 75,No. 42 Search for dean to be nationwide By Seth Preston A university search committee will beginlooking for a new dean for the College of Arts and Sciences in mid-October, Vice President forAcademic Affairs James Talbot said Monday. The committeeâ€”which has yet. to be formedâ€”willreview both external and internal applications, Talbot said. An advertisement and job description will appear in national trade publications about Oct. 15. "It's a national search. We determined that quiteawhile ago," he said. External applications will be accepted despite past protests from a few facultymembers within the college. Dean James Davis, who resigned in April, had been brought to Westernfrom Central Michigan University in 1974. After resigning, Davis took up a full-time teaching position inthe political science department. Some faculty members voiced their concerns about possiblereductions in staff or.work hours in case such an event is repeated with another outside dean. "Well,they didn't tell me that... we do national searches for faculty members all the time," Talbot responded. Peter Elich, current acting dean of the college, said last week he plans to be a candidate for thepermanent position. "I haven't run across anything while I've been here (as dean) to discourage me, and I haven't got the feeling externally from faculty that I'm not wanted," Elich said, adding he felt a currentWestern employee should be chosen as the next dean. "I'm not suggesting that I'm the one who should be chosen, but I feel there's a lot of talent within the university to fill that slot," he said. "I think you need to go outside if you feel there's something really wrong and need a fresh outlook. There's no need todramatically change the College ofArtsandSciencesor the university." But Talbot disagreed, saying, "Idon't think things have to be wrong to get a fresh perspectiveâ€” but I'm not necessarily advocatingchoosing .an outsider. The important thing, obviously, is from time to time to get someone new toprovide stimulus." "There's some excellent people whoapplied last'timerandl know" there are some whodidn't apply because it was only an acting position," Elich said. The temporary status restricts theacting dean, he explainedJt's unlikely a program spanning several years would be formed if the deancreating it would not be in Registration began 8 a.m. Sept 19 with a few anxious moments as a weekendwind storm-knocked out the air conditioning in the Computer Center. The computers need to beat aconstant temperature. Fortunately the computers were up and computing by 8:20 a.m. As of Wednesdayafternoon, the last day to register, 9Â£72 students had enrolled. the position to see it through, Elichnoted. Also other people mvolveorin tneproject might not be willing to commit the needed energy if theywere unsure of future leadership, he added. Elich pointed out that an on-campus applicant would havethe advantage of knowing Western's operations. After 22 years at Westernâ€”13 as psychologydepartment chairman on different TCcasipns^i tppk.about three months to adjust to functioning asdean, he said. An outsider would take even longer, he added. Talbot said a search is a valuablefunction in itself since it creates a self-evaluating, problem-solving attitude. The committee tries to match their perceptions of college needs with the skills and personality of an appropriate â€¢ SeeDean/page 3 Polling place, pub leads AS agenda By Dave Wasson A campus pub with hope for"responsible drinking" and support for a campus polling place head the Associated Students course of action as a result of last spring's opinion generating ref-erendums. Vice President for Activities KevinLohman said his position isn't necessarily for drinking, but for "responsible drinking." "There's been a lotof concerns about drunk driving on campus, and that would be one way of trying to alleviate that,"Lohman said. Lohman said he is prepared to discuss the ramifications of an on-campus pub with theadministration, as well as with students and the community. He has many ideas, but as yet neither aliquor license or location have been obtained. The question of a campus polling place for municipaland general elections has been an issue for nearly three years. In last spring's AS elections, though,the students approved a referendum, which established popular support for the idea. Because of a law that doesn't allow precinct boundary changes within 30 days of election filing time, Western can'texpect a polling place until after the November elections. Peter Griffin, a Whatcom County electiondeputy and a candidate for the position of Whatcom County Auditor, the position responsible for thework in the event of a precinct change, said, "What it amounts to is the job (precinct change) must bedone between January and June." In terms of election administration, he said, it is advisable to have a polling place on campus. But he noted it's nothing that can be changed in a week or two, and it is notan in-expensive ordeal. He is looking at a campus polling place in terms of serving everyone, notjust students. He said a polling place that is easily accessible is a consideration, and a pollingplace in the Viking Union Sasquatch room is easily accessible to not only students, but to residentswho would use the facilities. Griffin is running against incumbent Joan Ogden in this election.Ogden could not be reached for comment. Dan Pike, AS vice president for external affairs, said he istrying to get a large student turnout to demonstrate that students do vote. A registration table is set upin vendors' row in the VU plaza' from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Oct. 8, which is the last day to register forthe November election. The drive to create a greater turnout, Pike said, is' to show whoever is electedthat the student voice is legitimate. A Finals Preparation Week policy that would give students oneweek before finals without any graded assignments to prepare for tests, was approved by the AcademicCoordinating Commission late last spring. It has yet to go before the Faculty Senate, which meetsOct. 10. At this point, the board hasn't voiced a plan of action for the ref-erendums that dealt with thedevelopment of a new towing policy, or gathering more student input of campus art. Both of theseissues have AS representatives at the appropriate committees. Although Pat Angus was approved tosit on the Art Acquisitions Advisory Committee, the position for the Parking and TransportationCommittee still is open. It is the job of these representatives to carry the student opinions to thecommittee meetings. majors get first pick of classes By Jeff Kramer â€¢Some students were"cruelly shocked'' when they tried to register for upper-division business courses last week only to find them closed to most non^majors. But the Dean of College of Business and Economics said therestrictions will help the college plan more effectively in the future by forcing business students todeclare their majors early. The decision to give business majors preference in selecting the popularupper-division business courses was announced last spring, but many students reportedly found out the hard way when they signed up for fall classes. "Some students didn't get the word and they werecruelly shocked when they showed up for registration," CBE Dean Dennis Murphy said earlier thisweek. â€¢ See Business/page 2 Western squashed in home opener p. 15 Enjoy fall at the beach p.13 Recalling the best of an elder era p. 8 ---------- Western Front - 1983 September 30 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Friday, September 30,1983 Friends help prof By Kathy Abbott Most students meet atleast one teacher they like and become Mends with. Very few students are so impressed with aninstructor that they would go out to raise funds to send him to Europe for a conference. Claude Hill ofthe technology department, specializing in plastics, is described by some of his students asexemplary. Wayne R. Stearns, a senior in manufacturing and engineering technology, said "He (Hill) isvery interested in the plastics field and conveys that excitement to students. He gets everyoneinterested and involved." Ken Jett, an industrial technology major with an emphasis on plastics,said three things stick in his mind about Hill's classes; demonstration products and materials, field trips, and Hill's up-to-date knowledge of current trends in the industry. Students interviewed said Hill makesan effort to explain why a product is good or bad. He tries to help students understand why productswork. Some students were looking for a way to say thank-you for all his extra effort. Last April noticecame out about the K'83 Plastics Trade Show scheduled for October 4 through 13 in Dusseldorf,Germany. The K stands for Kunstoff and Kautschuk, the German words for plastics and rubber. Hillhad expressed an interest in going. The conference, put on once every four years, will include state ofthe art technology such as molding techniques and the latest information on product design anddevelopment. Seminars on robotics, automation, the Classes filled with majors Business, frompagel Murphy stressed that course restrictions were necessary to prevent declared business majorsfrom being squeezed out of essential classes by non-majors who were registering first. "We hadstudents not even eligible to be majors taking upper-division c o u r s e s ," Murphy said. Currently,students who wish to major in business must complete a series of prerequisite courses and have atleast 75 credits before declaring. Not all non-majors will be barred from the business classes, however.Murphy pointed out that students in other disciplines requiring business courses will be accommodated. "We have no intention of trying to exclude persons in other majors who need certain business andaccounting courses," Murphy said. Those students will have the same standing as CBE majors atregistration. The number of students who have stepped forward and declared themselves businessmajors has increased since the new policy was announced, Murphy said. He called the development a"good side effect" because it will be easier for the business department to schedule classes in thefuture. Murphy urged all serious business students to avoid registration hassles in the future bydeclaring their major as soon as possible. use of plastics in electronics, transportation, aerospace, inthe medical field and communications also will take place. Stearns, current president of the campuschapter of the Society of Plastics Engineers, said, "a group of students were sitting around after ameeting in Seattle discussing how interesting it would be to go. Then the idea came up about getting the money to send Hill." "We didn't tell anyone, especially Hill, what we were planning," he said. Thestudents started by writing a proposal stating the benefit, both to the school and industry, of sending Hill to the conference. It gave a $4,000 goal to cover costs. We weren't sure we could pull it off," said MaryEnglund, a graduat e of the technology department. Stearns said they went to the large professionalsocieties for engineers in the plastics field. "We started with the national organizations then went to theSeattle chapters. They were supportive of the idea, but most had no funds allocated for suchprograms. We did get a donation from the Seattle chapter of the Society of Plastics Engineers. Wealso got a list of the companies t h a t b e l o n g e d to t he organization." "We tried to concentrate onthe companies that employ Western graduates," he said. Englund said, "We have about $2,200 for thetrip. We, the students, made reservations for the Technology professor Claude Hill will travel to aplastics conference in Germany courtesy of the efforts of some students. conference itself. Hill will begone for two weeks. He is taking care of the rest of the arrangements." Hill first learned about thestudents' effort in August. Stearns and Englund said they Hill got home from vacation on a Sundayand opened the letter. were afraid Hill was going on vacation and might need time to arrange for hispassport and other things. They decided to write him a letter to tell him about the money they hadraised. He said, "It was quite a surprise We all (Stearns, Englund and Hill) got together Monday andtalked over the arrangments." Some companies that contributed were Heath Tecna, Kent, Grant andRoth Plastics, Hills-buro, Ore., and Allsop, Bellingham, Funds given The Canadian and Canadian-American Studies Center has been awarded a $7,347grant from the Canadian Department of ExternalAffairs for participation in the annual meeting of the National Council for the Social Studies. Theconference, expected to draw more than 3,000 public school teachers from across the country, will beNov. 23-26 in San Francisco, said Robert Monahan, director of the center. A major portion of the grantwill be used to prepare copies of three "Study Canada" curriculum guides, developed at Western, for distribution to teachers attending the meeting, Monahan said. Western faculty will join representatives from Duke University, State University of New York at Plattsburgh and Michigan State University in aneffort to "increase the knowledge and understanding of Canada in the United States," he said.Recycling Center looks for trash Because only 10 percent of campus wastepaper is collected andrecycled, the Associated Students Recycle Center has adopted a policy that all Western faculty,students and staff recycle when possible, Peedy Witter, of the recycle center, said. The centeris on thelookout for everyone's scrap paper, cardboard boxes, old love letters, empty beer bottles, cans andcartons and any other metal, glass or paper that is thrown away in the dumpster. Green recyclingbarrels are at the entrances of nearly every dorm and building on campus. Students should put onlypaper products in the barrels and place glass and metal materials to the side. The recycle center picksup recyclables four times weekly, at a different section of campus each time. Witter encouragedeveryone to think each time they take out the trash that most of what they are throwing out can berecycled.

"We're going to go with some of our dreams/'Grant said, "some of those ideas we've all had." High on Grant's list of priorities is the campus pubreferendum that passed with student favor in last spring's election. Grant said a campus pub would be a positive addition to Western. It would be a good place to go without having to drive. But the biggestproblem with a campus pub is the community relationships. The way we're going to deal with that,he said, it to show how it has worked on other campuses. The reason Grant has focused on thecampus pub referendum as an issue to be dealt with is because of the overwhelming support for the idea on the ballots. Grant also has considered working more with the athletic department. "I think that it isdefinitely an area of interest and a lot of participation is involved." At Tuesday's AS Board meeting,Jon Sitkin, secretary/treasurer, volunteered to help Grant develop ideas to be exchanged with membersof the athletic department. It's coordination we're looking at, Grant said. He cited scheduling of ASsponsored events with Dean's job open to varied applicants â€¢ Dean, from page 1 candidate, heexplained. A senior administrator, such as another Western dean, will head the search committee,Talbot said. The other xnembers will be instructors from the College of Arts and Sciences. "They're theones who know, or should know, what's going on within theicollege," Talbot said. Elich-who Talbot called the "overwhelming choice for the acting position" will continue in that role until a permanent dean ishired. The position should be filled in time for the 1984-85 school year, Talbot said, "although searcheshave been known to be unsuccessful."

Back to School Special HAMBURGERS 490 Cheeseburgers V.U.5th floor coffee shop â€”- No Coupon Necessary â€” Offer Expires Oct. 7,1983 AS President Dana Grant believes a campus pub would be a positive addition to Western. athletic events in hopes of benefiting both parties. Activities, however, are not the only things Grant hopes to accomplish this year. Grantsaid he'd like to make available information about where students' money is going, and services they can receive. The AS president said he feels it is important that students know what they are paying for. Heprovided an example of that type of service. Currently three pamphlets are available in the AS office thatdescribe the functions of the Associated Students. They are: Councils and Committees, A.S. ResourceServices, and A Look at the Associated Students Board of Directors. Communication and presentinginsights to clear up any misunderstandings is what Grant said he's interested in. "I'd like to support abetter link between the Board of Trustees, the students and the campus," he said. "They make so many important decisions and it is an area that needs work." As far as problems go, Grant said he thinksan attitude of individualism and unacceptance on campus is prominent. "I'm not sure if theunacceptance is due to new students in a new environment, or just a new attitude." But Grant said he would like to portray the campus as a place to meet other people. AS to compile draft info By DavidWasson At the first Associated Students Board meeting of this academic year the board asked the ASLegal Information Center to write a pamphlet on the current status of the Selective Service Act. Thepamphlet would be designed to help students recognize their rights and responsibilities concerningquestions they might have about receiving financial aid and draft registration. The request for thepamphlet came from AS Secretary/Treasurer Jon Sitkin, but the item was put on the agenda by VicePresident for Internal Affairs Ron Bens-ley and Vice President for External Affairs Dan Pike. Theitem was prompted by a memo from Fort Steilacoom Community College, which made -a policystatement condemning students who were eligible for draft registration but did not register. Western'sAS Board did not make a policy statement of its own, but instead took action to make all informationconcerning the selective service available to students. Bensley said, "We'd like to see draft informationavailable to all students so they can make intelligent and informed decisions." In other matters, ASPresident Dana Grant said activities such as dances could be coordinated with athletic events in thehopes that both the Associated Students and the athletic department would benefit. Hopefully we cando some things to rally support, maybe as soon as this fall, but winter quarter for sure, Grant said.Another item intended to gather support was introduced by Director-at-Large, Communications PeterRamsey. Ramsey said he will report back to the board next week concerning readerboards that wouldbe used to advertise the time and location of each week's board meeting. Grant suggested a "thought for the day" could be on the reader-boards along with the time of the meetings. Another Ramsey proposalconcerned making the director-at-large for communications a member of the Legislative andCommunity Affairs Council instead of the public information officer. That item was tabled until the nextmeeting so the board would have a chance to look it over. Vice President for Academic Affairs SorenRyherd submitted his nominations for committee members in governance positions. The boardapproved each of Ryherd's nominations. The new members are: Bruce Keith, Academic CoordinatingCommission; Dan Pike, Publications Council; Pat Angus, Art Acquisitions Advisory Committee;George Sidles, Academic Coordinating Commission; Michael Boardman, Academic Grievance Counciland the General University Requirement Council; John Saunders, Security Council; Sheryl McCraken,Housing Appeal Board and Activities Council; Barbara Rojkar, Graduate Council; Jon Sitkin, Artists and Lectures Committee; Jack Martin, Activities Council; and Carol Pohl, Art Acquisitions AdvisoryCommittee. The next AS Board meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday in viking Union 219.

Specifically, the AS Board should be discussing the mandate given it by student voters from thereferen-dums of last spring's AS elections. One item board members seem to b e interested in is thequestion of a campus pub. Students, even though few bothered to vote, overwhelmingly favored the idea.And while it is debatable whether the AS board can promote "responsible, drinking,'' the boardnonetheless was given the mandate to pursue the establishment of an on-campus pub. The boardalso was told to bring to Western a polling place for municipal and general elections. It must continueto pursue this matter and not let city a n d county politicians damp its determination. Finals Prep Week,which would prohibit tests and assignments in the week of classes before finals unless students werenotified of t h em by the fifth week of the quarter, now is out of t h e Associated Students' hands. TheFaculty Senate, however, should remember students favored the prep week. While positions forAssociated Students appointees exist for the Art Aquisitions Advisory Committee and Parking andTransportation Committees, the AS Board should remember these positions existed last year whenstudents called for a better voice in art aquisition and changes in Western's towing policies. The ASBoard must not treat the referendums lightly. After all, it was those same voters who put board membersin the positions they now sit. Senate race â€¢ Score card, please Earlier this month a newspaper ad fort he Dan Evans campaign began, "As your U.S. Senator, I will b e guided by my conscience, mycountry, and my state, in that order." His party didn't make t h e list; in fact, his party didn't make thead. This caused ihe state Democratic chairwoman to ask if Evans was ashamed of being a Republican.Evans' campaign press secretary explained they merely forgot to identify his party affiliation. Fortunately,they remembered to list the office he was running for, a n d came out strongly for jobs, equality, peaceand freedom. Evans' campaign press secretary later promised that future ads would contain thecandidate's party affiliation. That might comfort the Democrats a little, who would also like to see himstop using campaign brochures that picture him with leading Democrats. Actually, poor Dan Evans iscaught in a squeeze. The Democrats keep telling him to act like a Republican, while his chief primaryfoe, Lloyd Cooney, insists Evans would be more comfortable as a Democrat. Perhaps the voters wouldbe n.ore comfortable if Evans were a Democrat. That would mean he wouldn't add to the Republicanmajority in the Senate. That's the point his Democratic opponents, Charles Royer and Mike Lowry, not to mention various candidates of the "indigent party," would like to drive home. Party identification, orlack thereof, may determine the winner in this race for U.S. Senator.

Con texting Reagan i Time runs down for all By Shaun McClurken Prediction: When thefuture has time to assess its past, the Reagan Administrationâ€”and particularly its role in shapingthat futureâ€”will be seen as a small rule of no great contribution; the last gasp of a dying ideologybefore the shifting tides of time close over its head. True, the Reaganauts have caused some littlecommotion in their own time, but without a great vision of an ideal human future or clear perception ofthe real present, they can make trouble but no lasting difference. This is not to say we in the presentmay ignore the activities of Our Man in the White House. The trouble he is making now can be veryserious indeed, and the longer he continues, the more cleaning-up we must do later. It needn't be thisway. We need not endure nonsense, and Reagan need not go down in history as someone who onlybarely got down in history. The vacuum of the future is filled by our actions in the present; for a livablefuture in the next century, we must get right to work. Our great-grandchildren, and all theirs, too, willthank us. What a tragedy one of the most radical acts in recent history (the formation of the UnitedStates of America, with its Constitution and Bill of Rights, individual autonomony and government at thesufferance of the people) should in only 200 years devolve into the present slaggy heap of pettyineffectuality. The economy, the Communists, the environment, foreign policy, internal policyâ€”ourgovernment is wrong on all of them. The revolutionary aspect of the U.S. government has been the right of the governed to address (and redress) the policies ruling their lives. This is only fair, since we inflictthose people and policies on ourselves. Sometimes we simply inflict with more vim and venom thanothers. Nearly three years, now, and after the initial flurry of Right Radical successes, the grace period is over. Reagan's effectiveness is blunted, his looks and charm perhaps more rough-edged. He will soonlook much like his predecessor. Someone at America's head soon must start thinking big. A world leader leads best by offering a clear advantage over alternative creeds to prospective followersâ€”awarenessof and concern for the whole picture. Represented by our great corporations (Coca- Cola) and portrayedby our dubbed TV shows ("Dallas," "The Love Boat"), America' deserves the head-shaking. No,change will not come swiftly. No, we will not get easy cooperation from the Communistsâ€”or even theThird World. No, nothing in place now offers any real people any lasting human value, though surely theworld can wait no longer. No, Ronald Reagan was never the man for the job. The United States 200 years ago led a revolution in human thought. It can do so again, and must do so to survive in any form worldcitizens will respect. Boor to boor salesmen J The weird prey on bewildered By Shelly McKedy In 1492the Spaniards kicked the Moors out of Spain. In 1778 the American colonists booted the British back to Europe. But in 1983, I am still trying to beat back an endless stream of door-to-door salesmen from my front porch. For decades, Americans have endured the excesses of these nomadic peddlers, oftenresembling models for Rodney Dangerfield leisure wear. Their doorstep appeals usually go something like this: A misty 8 a.m. Doorbell rings. Door opens. Salesman: "Good morning." Resident: "Ungh, 'hro."Salesman: "My name is Fred Moe. I'm an advertising representative of Acme Products, Inc., out ofTerra Haute, Ind., here today to tell you about our new puddle jumpers. Our research of this areaindicates Bellingham receives plentiful rainfall. To avoid being just another drowned Bellinghamster,don't you honestly think having your own personalized pair of our specially-designed puddle jumpers,absolutely free of charge and with no obligation, would make you a better person?" Resident: "Well,uh..." The resident is stuttering for the right words at such an ungodly hour for some nut wearing tall tincans strapped to his feet. Salesman: "Millions of satisfied customers swear by the magic of Acmepuddle jumpers. Yes, you too can take advantage of our special in-home offer. Try them for two hours and see for yourself why every red-blooded American positively needs his very own pair of puddle jumpers tocomplement everything he wears. Why, the wonder of technology is yours for the taking. Just look foryourself. Two sleek, streamlined, triple-industrial strength aluminum cans attached to durable, polygriprope. Our puddle jumpers come specially equipped with ghetto blasters inside and as an added bonuscan be personally monogrammed. All this can be yours for just 16 low monthly payments. We even havea student rateâ€”" Resident: "Yes, well I don't thinkâ€”" Salesman: "Wait! And there's more! Our beautiful puddle jumpers come in two sizes and are guaranteed to be rust-free for at least 28 days. It's really asuper..." By now at least 15 minutes have passed and the resident feels like Chewbacca losing a chessgame. Resident: "NO THANK YOU!" Resident slams and bolts door. Exhausted, the resident decides to rest for a few minutes and forget the ordeal. However, before the first cup of coffee is poured, the doorbell rings. The resident opens the door and is confronted by a polyester and plaid person wearing apsychedelic umbrella in his head. "Good morning. My name is Ted Poll. I'm an advertisingrepresentative..." ---------- Western Front - 1983 September 30 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, September 30,1983 Western Front 5 Facing great loss By Jeff Kramer I'm losing my father.Literally. No, he's not sick, and he hasn't disowned meâ€”at least not yet. It's far more serious than that. He's on a diet. A few months ago, my once-portly Pop was showing signs of middle age much the wayan over-inflated balloon shows signs of popping. His outstanding feature was a beach ball-sized bellypropped up by an old trans- Atlantic telephone cable he used for a belt. He had a figure only Greenpeacecould love. As unhealthy as his condition was, however, there were advantages. As long as Dadretained his heft, it meant he was successfully resisting my mother's attempt to impose a dieteticdictatorship on the whole family. For years he fought off the rebel forces of wheat germ flakes and proteinpowders, much to the delight of my brother and I. Mom would plop down a pile of unsweetened, unsalted, cholesterol-free low-calorie bran disks for supper, at which Dad would say, "Come on boys, let's go outand get a pizza." I never suspected his resolve was weakening. Oh sure, he had made a fewconcessions to Mom over the years in the name of domestic tranquility. He began to scale down his latenight feedings and eat lighter dinners. Periodically, he would even gulp down a lug-nut-sized vitamin tablet conveniently placed at his end of the kitchen fable by you know who. But if Mom was winning anoccasional battle, Dad was clearly winning the war. His paunch persisted. If only he could have kept it up a little longer, I'm sure Mom would have given up in frustration, paving the way for her potbelliedspouse to blimp out into oblivion once and for all. But it was not to be. I visited my parents at their Seattlehome earlier this month and found Dad a shadow of his former self. His cavernous polyester pants, oncestretched to the limit by superfluous flesh, now hung loosely on a shriveling waistline. He had a glassy,far-off look in his eye when I asked him if he wanted to go out for a pizzaâ€”just like old times. "Nothanks," he replied as if in a trance. "I hardly eat pizza anymore. It's so fattening. I'd rather have a saladbar. I eat a lot of salad now, but I don't have any dressing. That's where all the calories are." He offeredme a Weight Watchers ice cream bar. I had not even taken a lick of low-cal sherbert when Mom rushedinto the kitchen and spotted me with the ice cream. "You'll never lose weight if you keep eating like that," she warned. I put the bar back in the freezer and sat down at the table. Conveniently, a vitamin the sizeof a lug nut was waiting forme. LETTERS In and out of Met Prisoner pleads love's case Dear Students,I wrote this letter mainly to show, to you out there who are free and starting back to college this fall, thatif someone in here can retain his love for mankind, then anyone can. I am a college graduate myselfand found out that I still had much to learn. I am currently serving a one year sentence in the infamousAttica prison because I drank and drove a car one too many times. I will be released in April andhopefully return home to Washington. Since I have been here, I have witnessed abuse and crueltybeyond description, have listened while fully grown men have cried themselves to sleep due to sheerloneliness and even saw a young man attempt suicide because his girlfriend left him for someone else. I, too, have suffered terrible loneliness and depression, but have learned something in here that no collegeclassroom or textbook could possibly have taught me. I've learned that love is much stronger than hate.With love, one has purpose and meaning in life. With hate, one merely exists around the borders of life.Each day, I look into hundreds of faces that are filled with hate and bitterness. They have no outlook forthe future and this truly saddens me. Life lost its real meaning for me when I returned home from thewar in Vietnam. I wasted over 12 years of my life through drinking and feeling sorry for myself. I hadfamily and friends then, too. Now I'm all alone but have an inner peace and maturity that I haven'texperienced before. When I do return home in April, I will come back much wiser. More important thanthat, though, I will return with the attitude that I owe life a living and not vice-versa! I have no way ofknowing if your school editor will deem this letter worthy of printing, but I sincerely feel that if only oneother person gets to read its message, then it was well worth the effort of writing.

Severalother city and county races were pared down to two contestants each in the Sept. 20 primary, while one race was decided outright. Despite near-perfect weather, only 27.1 percent of Whatcom County'sregistered voters took the time to cast ballots, according to statistics furnished by the Whatcom CountyAuditor's Office. Officials speculated that the slim showing may have been due to voter confusion overthe upcoming U.S. Senate primary slated for Oct. 11. Douglas surprised many local political observersby winning the primary so handily. He pulled in 65 percent of the vote, compared to 32 percent for therunnerup, City Councilman and former radio personality Haines Fay. Douglas was predictably pleasedwith the results. "It feels good to win by a clear margin," he said. "I think it gives us good momentumgoing into the final." Fay, who declared his candidacy several weeks after Douglas, said his late starthurt him. But he wasn't throwing in the towel. "I didn't really campaign in the primary," he said. "I didn'thave a strong organization and had very little money. It's just a matter of getting more visible now."Douglas said he plans to continue waging a "positive campaign," one that will avoid divisive-nessthat might split the community. In a race that was decided in the primary and won't appear on the Nov.8 final election ballot, Whatcom County Sheriff Larry Mount was re-elected when he trounced fellowDemocrat David Loomis with an 88 percent majority. Since both candidates are of the same party, theprimary decided the race.

In other county contests, the race for a newassessor was led by Democrat Vic Battson with a 47 percent share of the vote, followed byRepublicans Art Lee and Donald Wheeler, with 36 p e r c e n t and 17 percent, respectively. WhatcomCounty Auditor Joan Ogden, a Republican, took 55 percent of the vote in her race for re-election,outdistancing Democratic challenger Pete Griffin, who gathered 36 percent.

Long lines remain By Kathy Heppner Pushing,shoving and all that's involved with book buying during the first weeks of the quarter may never beresolved, but the Students Co-op Bookstore is working on diminishing the problem. The $230,000renovation of the store was designed to accommodate the 3,000 students who pass through it everyday during peak periods. The remodeling, which began in early July and was completed in September, offers convenience and efficiency. "The renovation will prove to solve a major problem," bookstoremanager George Elliott said, "and has certainly cut down on the chaotic mess that plagued formerstudents." To create an additional 20 percent space for merchandise, offices and storage spacewere eliminated. The entrance was relocated at the front of the store and more cash registers wereadded. Carpets were replaced and the sports wear department was enlarged with better logo displays and easier access. "The store is now a modern establishment and soon merchandise sales 'willexpand and more souvenirs and gifts will be available for the students," Elliott said. The bookstore, builtin I960, became inadequate when Western grew. Elliott recalled a time when the store had to beclosed and only a limited number of students admitted at a time. Elliott added that with all the newstudents it might have been similar thi s year if the remodeling had not occurred. Renovation was fundedby the store's interest income from the past 10 years. Students are given back 11 percent of the profitsmade every year. Although Elliott admitted lineups can't completely be eliminated, he said thissystem will prove to be more convenient.

Romano In times of financial trouble, the arts at a university are often the first scrutinized forpossible reduction, restructuring or even elimination. Now, two programs in the Theater/Dancedepartment are being reviewed by the Council for Post-secondary Education (CPE) for possibleelimination. The two programs up for review are the bachelor's dance degree and the master's programin theater. Dennis Catrell, chair of the department, said the review has been ongoing for at least the past18 months. The department now is preparing data for a second round of reviews. The first reviewprocedure began with the CPE administering surveys and garnishing certain kinds of comparisonsbetween programs in the state's four-year institutions. Theatre/Dance was told to submit data about theprograms, such as the number of students, number of graduates, the interest in the programs and whatthe programs are about. The data was submitted last spring, Catrell said. The CPE has asked for more data for the next round. "They want exactly the same material, but more detailed," Catrell said. "Notonly do they want the number of graduates, but their hometowns, the jobs they got, stuff like that." Thedata for the dance program is due in October; the master's program, in November. It's not easybeing on the working end of such a review. Enrollment in the programs seems not to have sufferedas a result of the review, Catrell said. "Generally, I don't think it's in the consciousness of thestudents, and the graduate students are all confident that they can get through the program," Catrellsaid. "Still, once you've been targeted, it's a serious affair." The sheervolume of manhours used toprepare the data has been the biggest drawback so far. The CPE has asked for no arguments, just colddata. Not only is the department being reviewed involved, but also the Registrar's office, the VicePresident's office and numerous secretaries and administrative assistants. "There are some veryexpensive people involved," Catrell said. Theatre/Dance has no plans right now if the councilrecommends elimination of one of the programs. "There's no way to plan for that, though we alwaysthink about it," he said. "We don't know their (CPE's) deadlines." The CPE will pass on theirrecommendations to the Legislature, which may then be translated into some kind of action, he said."There seems to be some kind of an idea in the Legislature that universities, though they are entirelydifferent, still generate a product," he said. "Though some kind of watchdogs are necessary," headded. Catrell seems to believe that the programs being reviewed may be safe for the next couple ofyears. "The new catalogs have just come out, and I view that as kind of a contract," he said.

The society is dedicated to recreating the "good" thingsabout the middle ages. Black Plague and the Inquisition aren't included, but the arts, sciences andchivalry are worth the effort, Mercia Stonegate (mundanely named Jackie Lynch of Bellingham) explained. "The purpose is to make the world not as it truly was, but as it should have been," she said. The College of the Unspeakable Name, of course, is Western. The Shire of Shittimwoode is Bellingham. These two groups sponsored a combat and swordsplay demonstration last Saturday in the viking Union. MerciaStonegate, Megan Althea of Glengariff, Kester the Wayward, Lady Kate and Raven Black-hurst, amongothers, demonstrated the two membership requirements. They wore costumes in the time period of the society, from 600 to 1650 A.D. and acted as gentlewomen and gentlemen. These gentlepeople studyand share whatever they are interested in, from sword fighting to calligraphy, herbalism andleatherwork. As people get more involved in their chosen time period and particular interest, Merciasaid, the more authentic the society becomes and the more modern religious and political problems lookfamiliar. Only one out-of-period item has been decreed as in-period and that is duct tape, which can befound on most everything, especially the swords. The society began 18 years ago in Berkeley, Calif, asa going away party for a Peace Corps volunteer. It started as a costume party, became a statementagainst the modern ages and created a whole new "old world." Eight kingdoms and 25,000 gentlepeoplelater, the society is a worldwide, non-profit organization. An Tir, which means "The Land" in Welsh, is the youngest kingdom at about 2-and-a-half years and includes Washington, Oregon, British Columbia,Alberta and parts of Nevada, Idaho and Saskatchewan. A kingdom has more than 200 active members, a barony such as Madrone (Seattle) has more than 20, a shire has five to 20 and a college has up to five.Kings and Queens are chosen by fighting prowess and chivalry at two crown tournaments every year. The winner, whether man or woman, selects a consort to share the honor. The consort is given equalfooting because he or she was the inspiration for the winning battle. The royalty reign for six months. TheSeneschal of the Shire of Shittimwoode, the administrative head of the Bellingham group, is MeganAlthea of Glengariff, an Irish Bard. The College of the Unspeakable Name's Seneschal is RavenBlackhurst (Jared Zimmerman). Western's group of medieval lore lovers has been organized for aboutthree years, Raven said. Their office is in VU 402, and the group meets this quarter at 7 p.m.Wednesdays in VU 408. Any changes will be posted in the office. Also, a revel is scheduled for Oct. 22.Revels usually include a .potluck, minstrels' entertainment, games, dancing, contests and generalsocializing.

Campaignofficials representing Walter Mondale, Jesse Jackson, Reagan, and Sen. Gary Hart (D-Colo.), JohnGlenn (R-Ohio) and Alan Cranston (D-Calif.) have been invited by the Associated Students ProgramCommission to speak at a winter candidate forum on campus. Reagan's campaign representativeshave been the most helpful of those notified, said Christy Pyles, program commission social issuescoordinator. "Believe it or not, the White House has been the most cooperative," she said. Pyles said her telephone request for a representative of the President to attend the forum drew a long pause from aWhite House aide, who then asked, "Wouldn't you rather have Mr. Reagan himself?" "I told them thatwould be fine," she said. The White House promised to call back either to confirm or deny the request,Pyles added. Three sets of dates during which the forum may take place have been submitted to eachcandidate. The Program Commission now will wait to see what responseâ€”if anyâ€”the presidentialhopefuls will make. Many of the candidates' local representatives have been difficult to locate, whileothers have been very unaccommodating. Pyles found Sen. Cranston's Washington state representative "very uncooperative." "He's losing my vote very fast," she said.

"We don't want to scare any of them off," Pyles explained. The three proposed dates for theforum are Jan. 10 through 13, Feb. 7 through 10, and Feb. 27 to March 2. Pyles said the dates could bechanged. King to head Home Ec By Karen Jenkins Rosalie King joined Western this year as the homeeconomics department's new chairwomen. "This has always been one of the best home ecdepartments in the West because of its concern for the undergraduate student,".King said. Shesees herself only as a facilitator. "A chair does not come in and change everything," she said. ButKing admits she does have "certain visions for the department." She would like the department to hiremore faculty to help the teachers who now handle what she calls "unbelievably heavy loads." She alsosaid she hopes that Western soon will offer graduate degrees in home economics. King has come toWestern after 18 years as a teacher and administrator at the University of Washington, including eightyears as chairwoman of the UWs Division of Textile Science and Costume Studies. King's specialty isthe research and analysis of textiles. She said she is interested in developing non-flammable clothing and furniture. In addition to teaching, King has acted as an expert witness in court cases involvingfatalities in connection with defective fabrics, written numerous articles about textiles and beeninvolved in many textile research projects. She currently is writing a book on textiles, which shehopes to finish by next fall. Because of her interest in textile research, King especially is pleasedabout Western's recent acquisition of approximately $50,000 worth of fabric testing equipment. Theequipment will enable Western's students to go beyond studying just the adornment of fabric tostudying the chemistry of fiber. And it will make Western the leading textile testing center in thestate, King said. Western will receive the equipment free of charge from the UWs now extinct textiledepartment on Oct. 11. In addition to the already acquired equipment, King said she hopes the schooleventually will purchase two more testing pieces at an estimated total cost of $20,000.

Western and PLU both were awarded a superior rating.Freshman Jon Barker and junior Maryanne Boreen competed for Western against squads from PLU,University of Oregon and University of Puget Sound. The PLU Critique Tournament had six rounds ofdebate with each round followed by a critique from the judge. Western's forensic program currently isranked among the top 50 in the nation, program director Larry Richardson said. "I'm really glad to see all the fine returning people," he said, adding that newcomers outnumber returning students this quarter. The forensic program is open to all undergraduates at Western. Students do not have to be registered in speech courses to participate, Richardson said. Western's next tournament is Oct. 14-16 atWhitman College. By Bob Dieckmann Lower- division math courses and computer science majorclasses have been restructured this year to provide a better grasp of the material. Algebra 103 andCollege Algebra 105 now are three credit classes rather than five. A five credit intermediate Algebra102 class was added to help spread the material covered previously in Algebra 103 and 105. "We'vemixed the same material in a different package." Albert Froderberg, chairman of the math departmentsaid. Math is not being emphasized as much in high schools he said, it's tough for students to get three years of math completed in one year. A three-day-a-week course would allow a slower pace,Froderberg said. Fred Ives, chairman of the computer science department, said computer sciencemajors will need to look at the changes and meet with advisers to see how the changes will affect them. Some courses have been renumbered and a few upper-division classes now are seminar classes. A graphics course that was a seminar will be a structured class and a personal computers course forthe study of home and small business computers has been added for students who don't plan tocontinue in computer science. "We hadn't done any curricu-lar revisions for sometime," Ives said. "It willprobably be done again for the 1985-87 catalog." Credit requirements for majors and minors havechanged slightly for both departments, but neither charman foresees any serious problems for returningstudents or students needing to retake classes or finish incompletes. City University tends to businessBy Nevonne Harris Worry-streaked faces of Western business students in lines looped twice aroundthe gym for registration are testimonials to student interest in business degrees, but Western is not theonly university in Bellingham with business interests. City University, 2101 Cornwall Ave., is one of 18state-wide extension sites of a Bellevue-based school designed for working business people whowant to finish a bachelor's or master's degree in business, Bellingham Site Director Barbara Delzellsaid. "The university is set up to complement community colleges," she said. The evening classes inbusiness, business administration, marketing or accounting cater to people with a two-year degree (90transferable credits).

The university is accredited and has the full range of financial aid,such as guaranteed student loans. It also has military accreditation for those in the service who movearound too much to get a degree elsewhere. The average age is 37, she said. Most students work fulltime at management or middle management jobs and have returned to school to get a bachelor's ormaster's degree in business administration. The university also has a nursing administration programand may offer a computer science program if enough students are interested. City University is not indirect competition with Western, Delzell said. No formal referral agreement exists, although someinteraction has occurred with Western's Continuing Education and Small Business Programs. Allundergraduate courses are five credits and cost $325 a quarter, with two classes considered a full-time load because most students work full time, she said. Graduate classes are three credits andcost $250. "It's more expensive than a state-supported school, but is less than many private schools,"she said, adding that some Bellingham companies reimburse employees for attending the university and getting their degree. The teachers are non-tenured and actively employed in what they teach,Delzell said. They are recruited from the base school site in Bellevue and from the local area. WhatcomCounty has been a City University extension site for about five years, with its first quarters in Ferndale. It moved to Bellingham about two years ago. Classes are in the federal building downtown, and thisquarter they begin Oct. 3. The quarters run 11 or 12 weeks. Schools such as City University, thatcomplement community colleges, have been popular in the east since the two-year colleges sprangup, Delzell said.

After 12 years I had returned to school to fulfill a dream. I had successfully maneuvered throughreams of forms, applications and affidavits, stood in lines and paid exorbitant amounts of money for theprivilege of joining the ranks at Western. I was a college studentâ€”again. And I set out for my firstday of class with wings on my feet and a song in my heart. By the end of the day, the wings ' had beenreplaced with a bad case of cold feet, and it had taken all my will power to keep them from stampedingdown High. Street and out of higher education forever. As for the song, the desire to give out with aprimal scream was barely subdued. The trial by fire had begun early in the day as I searched in vain fora parking place closer to campus than the Fred Meyer parking lot. As time and options ebbed away, Iscurried into the first available opening, a good six blocks from THE RETURN Older students comingback to school find solace in others school, and walked briskly toward class. Panting my way up thehills of High Street through the vast sea of student humanity, I was shocked to realize that, out of over8,000 students, I was the only one without a knapsack. It was my first experience with feeling "different," and it wasn't to be the last. I slipped into the classroom, assuming the same nonchalant, demeanor ofthose around me and began listening to the horror stories circulating among the students about thisparticular class. Four chapters a week. Pop quizzes. Interviews. Case problems. Eight-page takehome finals. My palms began to sweat; my knuckles turned white; my throat c o n s t r i c t e d . Mybreathing became fast and shallow. I glanced quickly around for the nearest exit, only to notice a nice-looking young woman coming in. A sigh of relief escaped as I recongnized her as my own kind, an older new student. Of this I STRATA sees special needs Although older students are as diverse a group ofstudents as any other, they share a number of similar worries, needs and concerns. In recognition oftheir special needs, STRATA (Students Returning After Time Away) was formed. The organization,co-ordinated by Madelyn Carol, deals with problems and provides, shared social and recreationalopportunities for students who are 25 years old or older. "What I hope to see with STRATA is that itwill help prevent problems now affecting many older students and can help ease their transition intocampus life," Carol says. Towards that goal, a series of short workshops centering on academic skillshas been scheduled. The first, "Attack Your Classes and Win," 2 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 5 at theViking Union will include information on efficient and effective study habits and choosing appropriatestudy mehtods for different classes and professors. An anxiety and stress reduction workshop and aworkshop for coping with financial problems are planned for later in the term. STRATA also will have a family potluck (bring a hot dish) at 2 p.m., Oct. 2 at Fairhaven Park. Older students are invited to come by the STRATA office, VU 216, get acquainted and fill out a survey sheet indicating personal areas ofconcern and interest so that activities and workshops can be formed around those areas indicated mostoften. Students interested in participating or organizing activities or in forming a support group alsoare urged to contact Carol at the office. Office hours are from 10 to 11 a.m. and from 1 to 3 p.m.,weekdays. was certain, for she, too, had no knapsack. She dropped her books on the front table andbegan scribbling on the blackboard. I realized with horror that this was the teacherâ€” this mere child,was to be MY teacher. At this point, the startling reality smacked me hard in the face. I was now astudent, and this was no dream; this was reality. I had made a major change in my life, a n d thatchange echoed through every aspect ot my lite tor months to come as I sought to deal with it. Thepanic I felt was by no means unique. I found out later that this back-td-schbol trauma affects all olderstudents returning to school after years away. It is the result of being placed in a new and differentenvironment, said Madelyn Carol, coordinator for an organization at Western called STRATA (StudentsReturning After Time Away.) Symptoms vary in severity and duration but can include personaldoubts about ability to adjust to school and to succeed academically, worries about "fitting in" andquestions about having made the wrong decision. "Returning students (officially, any student 25 yearsold or older) don't know what to expect. You're trying to synthesize everything at once and it'soverwhelming," said Carol, herself an older student. "You begin " having second thoughts about yourintelligence and if you can make it, and this can lead to lots of anxiety and soul-searching." Trauma is only the beginning hurdle for older students. As the student moves into academia, rusty study skills and concern over their relationship to the professor combine to create feelings of pressure and anxiety.Colleen Card, an education major who had taught in Canada before becoming a homemaker, recalls thereadjustment to the classroom. "Being this age, having had experience, and being put on the spot foranswers in class, you feel you shouldn't have to say 'I don't know' when you feel-you're old enough youprobably should know. I'm starting to realize now that part of the problem is in my own mind."Surprisingly, the age gap between older and younger students proves no great problem for either,Carol said. After the initial adjustment to college, nearly all students realize their likenesses are greaterthan their differences, and the common miseries and concerns provide ample social fuel. But thesimilarities between older and younger, traditional college students usually ends at the classroom door.Characteristically, the majority of older students have returned to college after working, homemaking or serving with the military for a number of years. They often come to upgrade skills or make careerchanges. Many are separated or divorced; most have families.

But that's no reason tostop escaping to the beach. Any local can tell you that the sandstone beaches warm up any time the sun peeks through, and nook and cranny cliffs provide shelter from the chill of autumn winds. Withinsix miles of Bellingham at least a dozen trails can be found that lead to a variety of beaches, from thepopular Teddy Bear Cove, two miles south of Fairhaven, where bare bottoms are common (if not therule), to Larabee State Park, six miles south of Fairhaven, where you can comb sand and rock flats forcrab and other sea life. Railroad tracks snuggle the beaches of Bellingham all the way to the farmingflats in Skagit County. If you begin at Marine Park, at the bottom of Harris Avenue in Fairhaven, within afew minutes you leave all signs of the city and its neighborhoods. As the fog nears the shore, thequietude might be interrupted by a kayaker or a curious sea otter. A mile south of Marine Park, therailroad tunnel goes under Clark's Point to Chuckanut Bay. The tracks cross the bay and meet TeddyBear Cove. Inside Chuckanut Bay reside blue herons, whose caws reverberate on the sandstonecliffs, sounding like the cartoon pterodactyls on Johnny Quest shows. Fishermen are a commonsight on the Chuckanut Bay trestle. Four- and five-pound cutthroat trout, silver salmon and an occasional ling cod swim underneath the trestle in the fall. On the east shore of Chuckanut Bay is the mostbeautiful sandstone, some say, that the ocean has carved. The rocks are rounded into ice cream coneshapes and dotted with honeycomb holes. How far you go, to sit in a sandstone cranny; or catch acutthroat, is pure choice. It's all minutes away. Left: Akayaker slices the placidwaters of Chuckanut Bay.

Older students share traumas â€¢ OLDER , from page 12 the 25 and older range, accordingto figures supplied by Lynn Thomas, program manager at Registrar Systems. More than one ofevery five students on campus fit into that category. Of these, 942 were women and 886 were men. Forthe men, the adjustments aren't as difficult as for women, Carol explained, because many have beenemployed full time, and are more accustomed to work schedules. Child raising and housekeeping arestill most often the province of women, despite the feminist revolution, and Carol said she rarely speaksto male students concerned about childcare and organizing domestic chores to allow for studv time.Anita Hewitt is a nursing student and single parent who also works at a job and at her son's Christianschool in order to reduce tuition. Adjusting to academic life meant rethinking priorities. "It waslearning to accept that while A's are lovely they're not necessary. I had to be realistic about mylimitationsâ€”these can be time, talents, prioritiesâ€”but to accept them and say 'that's okay; I'll do thebest I can with them." Despite the difficulities it poses, the family provides a great deal of moral supportand serves as a reason to "hang in there." And hanging in, especially financially, is particulary tough onolder students. The hard task of rerouting money for tuition, fees and books is compounded by thenecessity of day care and other expenses Colleen Card, education major, returned to Western to get herteaching certificate. incurred while raising a family. "When my son needs new shoes," Hewitt remarked,"I go to K-Mart and say a little prayer before we go through the door that they'll be having a sale onthem." Time needed for class and study obligations cuts into time available for work. The consequentcutback in finances when an older student enters college borders on discomfort for some and neardisaster for others. Financial woes are the most universal problem among older students, Carol said.Students manage to get by with financial aid packages, help from relatives, and sheer grit, sometimesexisting on a below poverty level income. Circumstances are so precarious for some, that they areunable to make plans from one term to the next. Finding employment which fits into a school schedulers often high on the older students' list of priorities, as a result. Career choice also is a concern. At age20, there is time to make a mistake in career choice and rectify it. By the age of 35 or 40, the optionsaren't nearly as open. Older students want to choose carefully to avoid errors so they seek out moreinformation about different jobsâ€”their suitability and availability. Although the inherent problems ofreturning to school overwhelm some, those with the tenacity to stick it out find ample advantages andrewards. Pat McCutcheon, a STRATA employee and anthropology student who struggled in college,dropped out and later returned, feels the extra years have been a key factor in his now successfulacademic career. "I think your mind matures as you grow older. You learn so :much more. You look atthings as a whole rather than as little parts." Hewitt, too, feels the added maturity has helped her setgoals, work toward them, and has been an aid to stretching her expectations of herself. ' Herdedication also is giving her son a respect for education. "At first, he was jealous of my books. Now herealizes I have to study and he realizes when I'm out of school, there'll be a lot of advantages. It'sbecome a family project." Though academic life has proved rigorous and demanding for these olderstudents, the challenge has been marked by personal growth. Did they have advice for newreturnees? "Use the resources the university ottersâ€”it can make the road much smoother,"McCutcheon said. "Take the plunge," advised Hewitt. "Talk to someone who's done it before. And don'tgive upâ€”it's a temptation, but don't give up." ---------- Western Front - 1983 September 30 - Page 14 ---------- 14 Western Front Friday, September 30, 1983 Japan like a second home Ellis Krauss teaches a coursein modern Japanese politics this quarter. By Margaret Carlson From northwestern Washington, aWestern political science professor ventured to far eastern Japan where he did research, visited friends, went to Disneyland and ate dinner with the prime minister. Ellis Krauss recently returned from aneight-month stay in Japan; it was his fourth extended visit since 1968. Krauss received a Fulbright grantto conduct research in Japan, so last January he packed up and moved to Tokyo. His family, wife Caroland 8-year-old daughter Rachel, joined him in April. He concentrated on three areas of research,government opposition to the Diet parliament in Japan, collaborative research with a Japanese politicalscientist at Kyoto University on Japanese political attitudes towards policy and procedure and intensive study of the news process at the NHK news network. Krauss said this trip, along with the others, hasenabled him to get to know the Japanese people and their way of life. He said the Japanese are fast-paced and have a high standard of living. "The people in Japan are faster than in Bell-ingham but not asfast as New York," said Krauss, who lived on the east coast for many years. He said they have a higherstandard of living than the people in Bellingham because "they have money now." Krauss said he and his family ate out a lot at Tokyo restaurants. He said he thinks Tokyo has a greater variety of eating anddrinking establishments than any other city in the world. He noted that one of his favorite Japanese foods, sushi, sells for about $2.50 for two pieces in Seattle compared to 40 cents for two pieces in Tokyo.Tokyo has an extremely low crime rate when compared to cities in the U.S. and Krauss attributes this toa high rate of employment, near complete gun control (a license is required to own a starting gun for atrack meet), the tendency for citizens to conform to the social norm and to the fact that "people knowtheir neighbors." Krauss indulges himself in one of America's most popularforms of physical fitness,jogging, but had to run at midnight or 1 a.m. because of the heat and humidity. He said he had noqualms about being out that late in an impacted city, while in the states one would have secondthoughts. Krauss and his wife and daughter visited Japan's Disneyland over the summer. He said it is areplica of the U.S. Disneyland and Disneyworld except that more adults than children go to the one inJapan. His research in Japan rarely brought Krauss in contact with Japanese college students but hewas invited to lecture at Tsuda Women's College. He said his impression of Japanese college students is that they aren't as motivated as the students in the U.S. They work hard in high school and on thecollege entrance exams, but "once you get into college it's easy," Krauss said. Japan has two types of colleges, national universities and privately owned, "mass production" schools. Krauss said thenational schools usually are high quality and prestigious while the "mass product i o n " schools are"under-funded and over-enrolled." "The private universities have 100,000 students on a campus smallerthan Western's," Krauss said. His research at NHK news and a dinner with the prime minister of Japanwere the high points of his stay. An American political scientist living in Japan knows the present primeminister, Yasuhiro Naka-sone. He arranged for nine American scholars to meet with Nakasone. They atea catered dinner in the back yard of the prime minister's private residence. "He told us to loosen ourties," Krauss said. What followed was an informal two-and-a-half hours of political discussion. Krausssaid he enjoyed the evening because he got a feeling for what kind of person Nakasone is, even thoughhe doesn't agree with all of the prime minister's political ideas. ("He's too conservative for me.") Krausssaid he also enjoyed the visit because Nakasone gave them some antecdotes of behind the scenes atthe recent Williamsburg Summit. Although living in Japan is far removed from life in Bellingham, Krausssaid he experiences more culture shock when he comes home to America. "You get used to thepoliteness, courtesy and safety," Krauss said. "People are polite and friendly here, (in the U.S.) but oneof my first experiences when I got home was with a cranky skycab."

At least that's the way it must have seemed to theoutsized Western Vikings after they were thumped 49-7 by Pacific Lutheran University in front of 3,500enthusiastic fans at Civic Stadium Sept. 24. "We got our butts kicked," junior linebacker CharlieKinnune told a group of spectators. "I 've never been beaten like that before." "They were tough," seniorquarter back Eric Ummel said. "They were like I'd seen for the last four years." Early mistakes led to aquick burial as the visiting Lutes, ranked fourth in the National Association of IntercollegiateAthletics Division II, tallied 28 points in 17 minutes...before Western registered their initial first down.Two PLU touchdowns were set up by Western turnovers: a first-quarter fumble at the viking 19, and a 42-yard interception return by defensive back Drex Zimmerman to the 13 at the end of the first period. Infact, PLU put the game out of reach so quickly, they had the luxury of playing a plethora of reserves. Atotal of 12 Lutes racked up 276 rushing yards, while two quarterbacks passed for 118 more yards.Starting signal-caller Kevin Skogen caused most of the aerial damage by hitting on eight of 12 throws,including a 12-yard touchdown toss to fullback Jeff Rohr. Reserve quarterback Jeff Shumake led theLutes with 60 yaras on tour carries;most of that came on a 39-yard romp with 1:29 left in the game.Meanwhile, the Vikings unsuccessfully struggled to move the ball against a Lute defense that,Western head coach Paul Hansen said, outweighed Western's offensive line by about 35 pounds perman. "Our plan was to move on the ground, but we couldn't budge them," Hansen said. A rushing totalof minus 10 yards confirmed his statement. Unable to move on the ground, Western went to the air.Ummel hit 13 of 38 passes for 101 yards, but three interceptions crippled potential Viking drives. "Wemoved the ball several times, but we stopped ourselves," Hansen said. In the second quarter a crucialholding penalty aborted a Western drive initially fueled by three straight pass completions. Anotherdrive took the Vikings into PLU territory on the strength of an 18-yard pass to receiver Randy Chatman,followed by an 11-yard burst by fullback Mike Peale. But on the next play, an Ummel pass wasdeflected into the arms of a diving Zimmerman for his second interception. After recovering a third-quarter fumble at the PLU 38, Western moved to the 22-yard line. Ummel then rolled right, andâ€”despite openfield in front of himâ€”he zipped the ball to Dave Coltom at the five-yard line. Unfortunately, Coltom is aLute cornerback, and he returned the ball 48 yards to end the threat. "I just should have run," Ummelsaid. "I just sawmyguyin the end zone...but I should have run it." But the Vikings simply didn't give up,despite trailing 42-0 in the fourth period. The large home crowd still cheered heartily for their team, which debuted in flashy new uniforms. "The team hung in there, they didn't give up," Hansen said, adding heappreciated the "fantastic" crowd support. "If they stay with us as we build, we'll repay them in acouple of years." Part of that payment came when Mark Moran bobbled a PLU kickoff, then promptly ran 59 yards to the Lute 41. He was stopped by the last Lute defenderâ€”quarterback Skogen, inexplicably on the kick return team.

"Bu The Viking men's soccer team improved their record with a 4-0 drubbing ofthe Trinity Western Spartans Wednesday afternoon on Western's home pitch behind Carver Gym.Sophomore forward Tim Gerhard scored two goals to pace the Vikings, whose record went 4-0-1.Bruce Campbell, in his fifth year as head soccer coach at Western, was impressed with Gerhard's play. "He's very fast and has a good shot," Campbell said. Gerhard scored the only goal the Vikings wouldneed 15 minutes into the first half. Gerhard's goal was the result of an aggressive Viking offense that kept the ball in the Spartan end of the field for the majority of the game. Jeff Spears gave Western itssecond goal when he scored about 25 minutes into the first half. Spears also picked up an assist whenhe placed a perfect pass to senior forward Cliff Mull in the second half. Trinity Western failed to get theball out of their half of the field because of tough Viking defensive pressure. Time after time a Spartanplayer was on his way down the field, only to have a Viking take the ball away and snuff another TrinityWestern hope. Campbell was pleased with his team's performance, with one exception. "I'm pleasedwith our progress," Campbell said. "But to only score four goals against this team, I don't know."Spears shared his coach's appraisal of the Spartan team.

Commentary - |sjASL needs help Aussies take race away - PatBulmer The 16th North American Soccer League Season is ending and although a 17th season likelywill take place, the NASL survives on shaky ground. The so-called sport of the '80s is, with a fewexceptions, not catching on in North America. In Seattle, the Sounders have packed it in and others may follow. But, soccer can succeed in North America, if the NASL plays it smart. Gimmicks such as theshootout, 35-yard off-side line and "Americanization" of the sport are not the answers. The" answers tothe league's woes can be found by glancing into its h;istory and looking into the key to the United StatesFootball League's success. The NASL's history is a dismal one. But it has had its glory years â€” themid-70s. These were the years when Pele worked his magic for the New York Cosmos and such greatsas Franz Beckenbauer, Giorgio Chinaglia and Johann Cruyff came to the league in the prime of theircareers. These superstars were major attractions throughout the league. NASL attendance soared andthe league even secured a network television contract. But its success was short-lived. Pele retiredand BEcken-bauer and company joined the over-the-hill gang. They were not replaced. Players of suchcaliber are expensive, but acquisition of one or more of the new group of world superstars is needed torespark interest in the NASL. Clearly, a Kevin Keegan, Paolo Rossi, Trevor Francis, Kenny Dalglieshand/or Zico is needed in the NASL. To acquire such players and bring an aura of respectability to theleague, the NASL also must review its ownership. Only the ultra-rich should be considered. This iswhy the USFL, for example, should survive and the World Football League fail. Toronto businessmanJohn Bassett owned teams in both leagues. As owner of â€¢ See NASL/page 18 Guest commentary -Jon Sitkin Monday, 26 September 1983 The United States has just lost the Americas cup. Althoughthe victors will keep the name of the cup, no longer will the race be held in Newport, Rhode Islandregularly. The Royal Perth Yacht Club as sponsor of the victorious boat Australia II will hold the nextrace in Perth. In sorrow, I poured a double gin and tonic and toasted Dennis O'Connor, realizing he has to live with the notion that he let down all sailors in America. I also raised the glass to John Ber-tand,the Australian skipper, who proved that life is not all sheep and funny football games down under, that infact they have some pretty darn good engineers there too. As I sucked down another G T, I thought of the partying that must be happening in Perth. We think it is a big deal when the Seahawks beat SanDiego, or when the Sonics take a game from the Lakers. But these Aussies broke what is one of thelongest winning streaks ever. There is finally a reason to boast about being Australian. While there isjubilation in Perth in the other hemisphere there is no joy in Mudvilleâ€”err, Newport, R. I.â€”for themighty New York Yacht Club has struck out. The N.Y.Y.C. complained and bickered about the infamouswinged keel of Australia II, without any satisfying results. A larger problem has surfaced now,however, what I call the loss of Newport. Think of Rhode Island for a moment. For over 100 years itsreason for existence was the race. The high class resort town of Newport, as beautiful as it is, survivedbecause of exposure brought to it as the host of "the race." The tourist industry will undoubtedly die inNewport; I have already cancelled my plans to spend next summer vacation thereâ€”maybe I'll go to theGrand Canyon, or Disneyland instead. Seriously, as a result of Liberty's loss, Rhode Island will bevirtually non-existent. No longer will it be in the news.

Western had its first taste of national successlast year when the Vikings placed 10th in the national meet. Having tasted the sweetness of success,the Vikings intend to go back for seconds. "One of our goals is to go back to the nationals," Coach Ralph Vernacchia said. Three participants from last season will help in the quest for a successful encore. Thereturnees are seniors Mark Steen and Toby Smith and sophomore Matt Eichenberger. Due to hisexpectation of these veterans and other products of his long range program, Vernacchia thinksexperience is the team's strongest suit. "We are good in experience," the coach said. "We have fourpeople (Steen, Smith, Mike Dubuc and Shane Sliva) who are in their fourth year here. They know thecourses well. They know what is expected of them â€” and that is a tremendous asset." How much value does Vernacchia put on experience? "It makes everything a lot easier for the coach," he said. "Itprovides a lot more leadership within the team. It also encourages more independence on the athletespart, and those athletes by this time are ready to accept more responsibility. They are not afraid of beingsuccessful. They are more excited about being successful. The younger runners might be more scared of it but when its your last time around, you figure this is it." Vernacchia outlines some goals for theveteran team: "Our goal is always to continue improving our performance. Another goal is to improve ourracing skills. In other words, the longer the season goes on, the better we can get at racing; and thegreater your concentration span can become during racing time. This is important because they have toconcentrate for almost 30 minutes in the races and that takes a lot of practice. "I guess I want them tobring themselves to both physical and psychological feats so they can race their best race." The Vikings might have already raced their best race. On a rare trip to Alaska, Western manhandled University ofAlaska-Anchorage (15-50 and 15-50) and the University of Alaska-Fairbanks (17-45 and 18-43) in dualmeets on Sept. 22 and 23. Vernacchia does not put too much emphasis on these opening victoriesbecause of the easy competition; however, he reassures the trip was worthwhile. "This was a goodexperience for our runners because should we qualify for the national meets, we will be in Wisconsin,"Vernacchia said. "I've been back there with runners when we've actually ran in the snow in very coldtemperatures. So it's good for them to have the opportunity to experience that (in Alaska)." After all thefun in Alaska, the Vikings will have a tough job ahead of them. Western along with other district teamsincluding Simon Fraser, the defending national champions, will compete in the Fort Casey Invitationalmeet at Whidbey . Island tomorrow. By Tim Mahoney Western's volleyball team has had a slow startthis season, but with wins over Central Washington University and Pacific Lutheran University, itsrecord has improvedâ€”in more ways than one. Due to a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics regulation, only matches that are against schools granting four-year degrees and are best-of-three orbest-of-five game matches are allowed to count on a school's season record. The rule wipes out all ofWestern's losses in a two-game tournament in California earlier this month, as well as two gamesagainst community colleges. Last Friday, in their first home game, the Vikings stopped Central 15-6,8-15, 16-14 and 15-13 for their first win of the season, official or unofficial. On Monday, Westerndefeated Edmonds Community College in an unofficial game, then traveled to Pacific Lutheran inTacoma and swept the Lutes 15-8, 16-14 and 15-5. In earlier games, Western lost to the University ofPuget Sound 15-12,15-5, and 15-10, the University of Portland 7-15, 15-5, 15-10 and 15-12 and SimonFraser University 15-3, 15-7 and 15-12. Head coach Mike Clark said the only bad match the Vikingsplayed was against Simon Fraser. "The other teams had to beat them," he said. In Friday's match,Western got off to a promising start, scoring five straight points before surrendering the serve to theWildcats. In the second game, though, it was Central that sprang out of the gates, scoring nine points before the Vikings could get a single point on the board. A six-point run was not enough to stopCentral in the second game. In the third game, the lead seesawed as Central came backfrom a 13-8 deficit to lead 14-13, where Western promptly ended the game with three straight points. The lastgame, though, was a classic cliffhanger. Western scored the last four points, but found themselves down 13-8 this time. Scoring more than one point at a time only once, the Vikings clawed their way backinto the match. Of many outstanding plays in this stretch, by both clubs, the most significant wasfreshman Kris Keltner's stuff block of a Wildcat serve when Western was down 13-12. "I think that turned the match around," Clark said. While Central couldn't seem to nail the coffin shut on Western, neithercould the Vikings do the same to the Wildcats. Both sides sided out three times before Western scoredits 14th point, then three times again before Western finally won it. Needless to say, Clark was happywith the win, especially in the last game. "They fought their way back, and that's the mental attitudethey need." He had high praise for six-foot-two hitter Care Faszholz, a junior transfer from PacificLutheran. "She adds a lot of height, good knowledge, good court sense and she's an experiencedplayer," Clark said.

Two plays later, Ummel heaved a passintended for Kurt Hanson in the end zone. The ^LU defender was called for interference, and Westernwas awarded a first down on the one-yard line. Ummel covered that yard himself two plays later for thescore. Errors also led to a 30-10 loss in Western's season opener on the road against the OregonInstitute of Technology Sept. 17. OIT scored 23 of their points on Western miscues, including aninterception for a touchdown, an end-zone fumble recovery and a sack of Ummel for a safety. In additon,another OIT fumble recovery let to a third touchdown. "I wasn't satisfied with our pass protectionagainst the blitz," Hansen said, pointing to six quarterback sacks in the game. When he wasn'tdodging the defense, Ummel managed to connect on 14 of 30 passes for 138 yards. He also scoredWestern's lone touchdown on a fourth-quarter run; bare-footed sophomore kicker Aaron Taylor hadbooted a 23-yard first-half field Rodland had blocked a punt. "We got better between halves. We playedthem even in the second half, but by then the damage was done," Hansen said. OIT, ranked 18th inthe NAIA Division I p r e s e a s o n poll, mustered only 55 yards passing against Western, buthammered out 250yards on the ground. After the win, OIT rose to 11th in the poll.

Think of it, Puerto Rico or Staten Island will be forced to become a state or all 50-star flags will be worthless. Therefore it is apparent that the Governor of Rhode Island should ask the Presidentto declare the state a National Disaster area. It is quite possible that rioting in Rhode Island by EastCoast preppies could destroy the state due to their anger over the loss of the cup. Since Rhode Islandhas a very short life left we must look for the future, salvage our pride and bring back the cup. I can see it now, billions of dollars being poured into engineering schools to research keel design. Can the U.S.A.out-gimmick the Australians in 1986 and win back the cup? It is possible a new sail design would dothe trick.

By 1975, the friendship had taken astrange twist. Her friend, Ted Bundy, was accused of murder and she was hired to write a book aboutthe slayings. Rule will be in Bellingham Monday to talk about her experiences as a writer. She beganresearching for the book in 1974, when police had few clues and speculated that a devil's cult wasresponsible for the killings of several college coeds, she said. She and Bundy maintained theirfriendship after they left their jobs at the crisis center. Rule, however, knew nothing of Bundy's role in the killings. Her book sold more than 600,000 copies before it came out in paperback, making Rule anationally known author. It has been used as a textbook for criminal-justice classes at major universities and was selected as featured reading by the Book of the Month Club. "The Bundy book has beencalled the definitive book on how a serial murderer operates," Rule said. Rule, who was a Seattle Police Officer for one year, said she always has been fascinated by the inner workings of the criminal mind.Most of her writings have dealt with murderers and rapists. "I want to understand why some people growup to be killers and some don't," she said. Her police career was short because Rule's eyesight was too poor to meet department requirements. She stayed in the criminology field by studying policeinvestigation techniques and in 1968 became the Northwest correspondent for True Detective. She has written several non-fiction books about local crimes with the pseudonym Andy Stacks. Most recently,Rule said she has been working with the United States Justice Department developing a computerized network to track down serial murderers. A serial murderer kills during a long period of time in a similarmanner, she said. Rule has survived since 1971 on income from her writing. She will discuss how people can "start from scratch and make a living as a writer," she said. She also will be promoting her latestbook, "Possession." This fiction book released in May explores the mind of an antisocial killer and his victim, she said. It is loosely based on five cases in the Northwest that Rule spent two yearsresearching. Author Ann Rule gained a national reputation after she wrote about her friendship withconvicted murderer Ted Bundy. "Possession" refers to the mental state called the "StockholmSyndrome." This is a syndrome appearing in kidnap victims who fall in love with, or make good friendswith their captors, she said.

Thus, my anticipated graduation was extended to June. Ifigured since 1 would be in school for a longer time, I would take advantage of a series of art classes tolearn a little about graphic arts to help in my pursuit of a public relations career. My initial feeling wasthat of e n t h u s i a sm and excitment because of my decision to explore art. But, as the first day ofclasses approached, I became apprehensive and no longer looked forward to taking the class.Doubts in my own ability to produce on paper buried my original thoughts of delight. I assumed myclassmates would Your home away from home, j Students, senior citizens, military personnel, j men,women and families will find clean, quiet j rooms with a telephone at reasonable rates | (under $25).

The instructor sauntered into the room. He asked studentsto give their name, major and reason for taking art. This information gave me a new perspective. Thisclass was full of people with varying interests â€” computer science, VICOED â€” all were simplyinterested in finding out about art. Sure, the thought of college art frightened me, but art should havebeen no more intimidating t h a n algebra or English composition.

Despite the discomfort of intenseheat, people cram themselves into bars in downtown Bellingham. Opportunities for dancing or justlistening to live music is relatively limited in this area. Four night spots head the list of primeentertainment. These are The Hide Away, Charlie's, Lord Cornwall's and the Holiday Inn. The HideAway, located on Cornwall Avenue, offers primarily rock and new wave. The type of crowd the Hide Away attracts often varies according to which The Cowboys' will rock the Charley's crowd tonight and Saturday night. Charley's is a nightclub located on Cornwall Avenue. Thornton Wilder's "Our Town" has beenproduced by high schools, colleges, community theatersâ€”anyone who has a stageâ€”andprobably will be produced for many years. The Bellingham Theatre Guild's "Our Town" director, JohnGaroutte, considered it "the single finest piece of stage writing in America." The BTG will open itsproduction of the play on Oct. 29. The play will be set in a traditional mounting, Garoutte said,following the custom of using a bare stage with only a few chairs and tables to create 'Our Town'performed in Bellingham By Leigh Clifton band is playing. The tables are in a banquet style allowingstrangers to meet haphazardly. A few pool tables offer distraction from the music. Live entertainmentis offered Thursdays through Sundays. Last week, The Hide Away featured "The Kooks," and the"Flintones" will play this weekend. The cover charge will be $2. Charley's opened fall quarter with "TheAllies" last weekend and packed in the entertainment seekers for $3 a piece. Charley's attracts a highvolume of college students and features mostly rock and new wave. The night club, which is located onthe northern section of Cornwall, will offer the "Cowboys" charging a $3 admission, this weekend. Pool,foosball and video games are included in its entertainment. For seven-nights-a-week live entertainment,Lord Cornwall's is the place to go. The crowd does not consist of many students, the town of Grover'sCorner, N.H. in the audience's imagination. The'story c e n t e r s on a simple neighborhood ana isabout people, love and marriage, death and the meaning of life. Bob Millholen, who has participated in several local productions, plays the part of Stage Manager, where he sets the scene, dispensinglife-and-death philosophy impartially to the inhabitants of Grover's Corner and members of the audiencealike.

Western now looks at theclasses students take in high school and not just grade point averages before accepting applications. "Ithink that's made a lot of difference," he said. In the '60s and 70s, Talbot said, universities loweredtheir academic standards. But now, with the nation-wide concern for quality education, the trend isto raise standards. One idea to promote quality education, from the state-wide Committee on Academic Excellence, is to set uniform admissions standards for the state's four-year institutions.Universities need to agree on a set of skills required for admission. Then a test has to be developedto measure those skills, Talbot said. At the University of Washington the same people who developedthe Washington Pre-College Test are working on an admissions test for high school students, he said.That test could take two more years to develop. More immediately, Western's English and mathdepartments are examining a statement of academic goals submitted to them by the inter-institutionalCommittee of Academic Offices. The statement outlines skills entering freshmen should have. Talbotsaid the two departments will respond to the committee at a meeting Oct. 7. He called these effortsto raise standards an "exciting development." This development, however, is not as imminent asstatements this summer by Washington State University President Glen Terrell made it appear to be.Terrell's comments indicated that an announcement of uniform admission standards among the four-year schools would be made before January. "That got a lot of people agitated," Eleanore Kenny, ofthe Council for Post-Secondary Education, said. No such uniform admission requirements are readyto announce, she said. Job hunters offered help By Lisa Stewart The Career Planning and PlacementCenter has been placing Western students in the job market for a century and is continuing to doso. "There are basically two groups of students: The small group of students that know exactly whatthey want to do and have it all put together, and the majority of the students that need some guidance,"said Louis Lallas, the center's director. The planning center has many ways of assisting students. Forthose who don't know what they want, counselor Tina Brinson can help relate skills to a major or minorand eventually to the job market. Also, to help with the planning is the career information library, whichis filled with job reports, specifics on what certain jobs entail, magazines on where the market is goingand other r information. The placement center has an extensive job listing service where employees listvacancies they want college graduates to fill. This list also'serves as a guideline to requirements ofcertain jobs. The center offers on-campus recruitment, where the employers come to campus andinterview students with the intention of hiring. A placement file is offered as a portfolio of a student'sachievements including a summary of courses, schools attended, letters of reference and for teachers, an evaluation. The final service is sharpening job search skills. Students are helped with resumes,when, where and how to contact employers. This is handled by workshops, tapes, handouts andindividual counseling. The career center has four main staff members: Brinson, planning counselor; BobThirsk, business fields; Lallas, teaching; and Jeanie Hargis, job search, resumes and interviews.Western has had a placement center helping students find jobs since the late 1800s. In those daysWestern was a teachers' school and the placement center was concerned with placing students intoteaching positions. Placement was not difficult because of the great demand for teachers. Enrollmentmushroomed after World War II. "With the GI Bill and the economy on the upswing, students were more plentiful and there were predictions of a need for college students in the job market," Lallas said.By the late '60s, however, the baby boom was under control and the demand for teachers fell off. Aboutthat time, Western started a liberal arts program and the career placement center expanded into newfields. "From the early 1970s to the present the job market has tightened," Lallas said. "This isresulting in students choosing multiple careers. They need to know more than one area of studybecause jobs are not so plentiful. Thev now need to develop life-long planning." From this, the planning center emerged. Lallas concluded, "Those who take the time to develop their career awareness and job search skills are going to fare better in the job market than those who don't. WSL sponsors voter sign-up A voter registration table is set up in vendors'row and staffed by volunteer registrars from 8:00 a.m.until 4:00 p.m. through Oct. 8. The booth, sponsored by West-em's chapter of the Washington StudentLobby, is intended to create a greater voter turn-out among students to demonstrate that students dovote, Associated Students Vice President for External Affairs Dan Pike said. "We'd partly like toemphasize that we're living in this community and the local politics will probably have a more directeffect on our lives than any other," he said.

Last winter the board decided not to act on a policy that would have allowed faculty members to settle their disputes with other facultymembers, chairmen, deans or administrators through binding arbitration, if two-thirds of the FacultySenate voted to submit the dispute to binding arbitration. Monday, the executive council of the senatesubmitted a revised policy that would replace binding arbitration with a special executive session ofthe Board of Trustees. A memo to the senate from the executive council stated, "We recommend thisboth because we believe that the board will not alter their opposition to binding arbitration andbecause we believe that we, the university community, should decide these matters for ourselves."According to the proposed Faculty Grievance Procedure, a dispute would be taken to the board onlywhen the president and two-thirds of the Senate disagreed on the matter. The executive councilmemo stated: "It will be objected that the relationship between the president of the university and theBoard of Trustees is such that an appeal to the board will be an empty gesture. However, we believethat the requirement of a special executive session of the board to hear the appeal . . . will raise thematter to a level of substantial importance and . . . will allow the matter to be treated not as a vote ofconfidence in the president but as matter in which reasonable persons disagree." Computer centerprovides knowledge By Lynann Bradbury As fields of computers and computer-based technologyconstantly expand, increased computer knowledge is essential in business. The Computer Centerprovides Western students facilities to proliferate learning and accessibility to terminals andmicrocomputers. The center, located on the third floor of Bond Hall, is staffed with consultants 9 a.m. to9 p.m. excluding 5 to 6 p.m. Consultants help "to show why a program is wrong, not to fix the errors."said Shuang Kao, head student programmer/consultant. The center has expanded terminalaccessibility by opening a new terminal room in the Arntzen Hall basement. "The wall has been knocked out between rooms three and five," Joan Hayes, of the the Computer Center, said. "The new (terminal) room has 26 VAX-2 terminals and we're hoping to have a staff member there soon." Terminals also arein Parks Hall 308, Arntzen Hall 1,2 and 5, Miller Hall 60, 350 and 425, Humanities 210B, Haggard Hall228, Bond Hall 321 and a graphics lab in Bond Hall 233. Ken Jett types a program as part of learning the jargon and operation of a computer. The computer demonstration center, which opened last Friday in Miller Hall 350, has 15 Apple II micro computers. "Though mainly for instructional use, these micros are available to any Western student." Hayes said. Students must bring their own software. Micros also are located in Arntzen 1 and 2. WTS (Western Terminal System) is no longer in use, Hayes said, "buthas been consolidated into the VAX system, which is more efficient and more sophisticated." Westernhas three computing systems, VAX-1, VAX-2 and RJE (Remote Job Entry). CIS PES pedals for peaceBy Leanna Bradshaw The Western and Bellingham chapters of the Committee in Solidarity with thePeople of El Salvador will pedal to the Peace Arch tomorrow. The arch unites Washington and BritishColumbia at Blaine. The 20-mile bike-a-thon begins at the Kmart parking lot at noon. Anyone can ride along or pledge money, said Wayne Iverson, budget authority for Western's CISPES. The bicyclists will join members of the Central America Solidarity Committee, who will pedal to the Peace Arch fromVancouver, B.C. for a picnic. Live entertainment will be provided by Guatemalan and Chilean musicians. Money can be pledged for each mile or as a fixed sum. New El Salvador Today will use proceeds forhealth clinics, to buy seed and farming equipment. The bike-a-thon profits are "basically to help peoplekeep theirlives going during civil war," Iverson said. CISPES functions are to educate people aboutCentral American Affairs and to get the U.S. government to stop its intervention policies there,Iverson said. The organization has about 300 chapters nation-wide, he added. CISPES plans to raisemoney with a benefit dinner at One Earth Restaurant on Sunday. One Earth Restaurant operates out ofLyn's Breakfast, 1512 Cornwall Ave. The menu of Mexican food will be $5 a plate.

"In terms of hardware both VAX systems are the same," saidJonathan Brown, head student programmer/ consultant. "VAX-1 is for use on north campus, whileVAX-2 is for south campus. It is easier to get in (to the computer) on VAX-2 because most studentscome up here, (to the computer center)" and because the Arntzen terminal room is so new that manypeople don't know about it. "RJE is much simpler to learn on than VAX," he added. "The instructions aredisplayed on the screen and an account numberis not needed, just type in your student number." Totype into the VAX system a user must obtain an account with the VAX. Students can fill out a UserAuthorization Application Card at the control desk on third floor of Bond Hall. The center needs work-study students who are experienced in computing. Anyone interested can see Joan Hayes in Bond Hall 316 for more information. Brown and Head Programmer/ Consultant Doug Boa suggest the best way fornew students to begin using the computer system is to approach a consultant before beginning aprogram. Names and photos of the consultants are posted in Bond Hall 321.

"The $117,000 from the library budget was added to a fund along with a surplus from thephysical plant and other unspent money from other budgets," said Jim Albers, vice provost forinstruction and planning. Departments which will benefit from the unexpected funds are technology,with two additional faculty; the College of Business and Economics, slated for one position; computerscience, given one position; English, with one position; and mathematics and history, each receivingfunding for one-half a position. The two technology positions are tenured track, Albers said, Provostfinalists named Two finalists for the position of vice president for academic affairs have been announcedand are scheduled to visit the campus this month. Western is searching to replace James Talbot, whois scheduled to step down from the number two administrative position at Western in July and return toteaching geology. One of the finalists was Western's acting vice president for academic affairs duringthe 1982- 83 school year. Paul Ford, currently an education professor, had the position when Talbotwas acting president between the time Paul Olscamp resigned and G. Robert Ross became Westernspresident. The other finalist is Kenneth L. Hoving, currently the administrative head of the GraduateCollege on the Norman campus and Oklahoma City campus of the University of Oklahoma since 1980.An open session with Ford for faculty, staff and students will be 2 p.m. Friday in Old Main 340. An opensession with Hoving is set for 2:30 p.m. Thursday, May 24, in the Wilson Library Presentation Room.Talbot's position also has been known as provost or executive vice president, but it was advertised asvice president for academic affairs. Sherwood chosen dean Joan Sherwood has been named vicepresident and dean of student affairs. When she will replace Acting Vice President and Dean of Student Affairs Saundra Taylor will be announced later. Sherwood will assume a position created by combiningthe dean of students and vice president for student affairs positions. The move was made by WesternPresident G. Robert Ross â€¢ See SHERWOOD, page 3 whereas the other four positions are one-yearallocations which must be reviewed every year for further money. Western President G. Robert Rosssaid, "The allocation of faculty is going to areas impacted by student demand." He said, "It is myunderstanding at this university that at the end of each biennium unspent funds are gathered andtransferred to the library. And that's our plan for next year. I anticipate it will exceed the $117,000."Robert Lawyer, director of the library, said, "It's going to hurt us, but I can't quarrel with people who arepaid to make those kind of decisions. We will live with itâ€” we have to." Albers said, "The positionswere based on requests made by the deans to the provosts and vice presidents. The dean sends us hisbudget requests, and then the president and the budget committee make the final decision." Lawyersaid for fiscal year 1985, he set the acquisition budget for books and periodicals at $890,000. He saidthe money was taken from that account by the administration. "They hope I'll recover the funds in 1984-85 before the end of the biennium," Lawyer said. "They hope and I hope." Albers said, "We don't knowahead of time how much money we will be able to return." He added, however, that by next year at thistime, "we will know what money can be transferred back to the library." Lawyer said this is the first time the administration has taken money from the library acquisition budget.

A transformer in the Art/Technology building blew uplast Tuesday afternoon leaving the building temporarily without electricity. Most electrical functions were restored by Wednesday morning, Vike said, and the power shortage became "just more a matter ofinconvenience." By Friday afternoon only the department's computers weren't working, he said, whichaffected computer graphics courses. The blown transformer has been repaired at a cost of close to$10,000 and is now working fully. The technology department also uses the building. Although no exactfigures were available on how many classes in that department were canceled, Ste-phan McMinn, whodirects the woodshops, said no classes from that area had been canceled. One open woodshop lab,however, was canceled, he said, which affected some students working on projects. Hascall said thetransformer that blew up was only seven years Engineer Lloyd Grasdock examines the faultytransformer that blew up in the basement of the Art/Tech Building last week. old, and the average life of a transformer is 30 to 40 years. He explained the primary bushing, the main entrance to thetransformer coil, had a crack in it, and that caused the transformer to malfunction. The actual cost of the bushing is "not a significant cost," Hascall said. But the cost of taking the transformer apart, putting itback together and sending for the parts made the repair costs approach $10,000. Hascall said thetransformer wasn't poorly designed. The bushing just had a crack in it that could have been causedduring installation. Vike said the art department had to reschedule some classes, but only had tocancel two classes, both on Wednesday.

MartiStorey, president of the group, said "Awareness Week is for people who want to know, but don't knowhow to ask. The whole thing is to let people know we're just people." Gina Borys, secretary for theAssociation, said they plan to have Awareness Week become an annual event at Western. From 11:30a.m. to noon today in Red Square, wheel chairs will be provided for anyone who wants to run an agilitycourse. "The agility course is designed for fun while learning what it's like to maneuver a wheelchair,"Storey said: "Each one of us have our own special needs. Because two people are in a wheelchairdoesn't mean they need the same thing," she said. Borys has been in a wheelchair since an automobile accident four years ago. She said she has learned to try to put herself into other people's situations. "Ithink that's what we want everyone to do this weekâ€”try to put themselves in our spot for a fewminutes,"she said. "If they tried, maybe they would understand why we need larger parking spots orthe braille by the elevators." Students begin week of impact on town By Lisa Heisey Western andBellingham will join forces during Campus- Community Impact Week to show Western students and the surrounding community the positive effects Western has on Bellingham. Impact Week beganyesterday and will continue through May 21. It will include a Student Intern/Employment, a Campus-Community Forum in the Viking Union Lounge, a "Do-Day" community clean up project and acampus-wide open house. AS Community Liaison and Impact Week Coordinator Dave McFadden began organizing the event last year as a means of publicizing the relationship Western has withBellingham. "One of Bellingham's primary objectives right now is to stimulate the local economy withnew business development," McFadden said. "This week is an attempt to market the university'sresources which help promote social and economic welfare in the area." State Senator H.A. "Barney"Goltz will be the guest at the Campus-Community Forum at 9 a.m. on Thursday May 17 in the VikingUnion Lounge. Student and community volunteers will work Saturday May 19 on a variety of tasksincluding general downtown cleanup, parks and trails maintenance and other painting and cleaningjobs.

ByDiane Dietz Most faculty agree: the obligation to publish has increased. Some say it's a good thing;some say it isn't. But everybody is saying something about it. This year's merit raises stimulated thedebate. Some faculty members see them as a yardstick measuring how much publishing is valued atWestern. Although faculty members who received the raises have been notified individually, their nameshave yet to be announced. "We don't know what the standards were. There is a lot of speculation; that'swhat happens when the results aren't published," Milton Krieger of liberal studies said. The criteria theArts and Sciences selection committee used to judge merit candidates have been questioned. "Idoubt there's anybody who doesn't know of cases where the criteria were applied dubiously," Kriegersaid. Whether merit pay was based on publication is uncertain, but the Faculty Handbook, theauthority for faculty advancement, states: "...it is the policy of Western Washington University toappoint faculty members who evidence achievement in teaching, in scholarly or creative endeavors, andin service to the university and community. Retention and promotion shall be on the basis ofcontinued effectiveness in these areas." The handbook also outlines different expectations for theranksâ€”instructor to full professorâ€”but it does not say that one of the criterion should receive moreemphasis than the others. By custom, serviceâ€”through policy and programâ€”has become a distantthird in weight given in advancement decisions, Albert Froderberg of the math department said. Somefaculty are concerned that teaching will go the way of service in the advancement hierarchy of values. Ingeneral, Froderberg said, "Those who have a good publishing record invariably advance faster than thosethat do not." Dan Lamer, dean of Fairhaven, said, "It's difficult for faculty that don't publish to get therewards the university has to offer." "Western is not a publish or perish institution, but it is a publish orlanguish institution," Froderberg said. Peter Elich, the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences,agreed, "this isn't a case of publish or perish. "But you must be able to demonstrate your scholarship,"he said. Elich told the Faculty Affairs Council he would like to do an empirical analysis of the files of thefaculty who won merit to "determine what the decision-making rules were," he said. Six faculty members who are excellent in one area got "small amounts or no" merit raises, Elich said, but by-and-large people were treated fairly. He has had only three complaints, he said. Some faculty see the broad trend toward increasing emphasis on publication at work in Tenure and Promotion (the method of hiring teachers, and advancing them through the ranks) and Step Extension Review (the yearly method of advancingfaculty financially) decisions. The Faculty Handbook states: "Criteria for merit awards shall be thoseestablished for promotion and tenure." Froderberg said that criteria and standards for SER merit andT P "were done at three different times by three different groups and sometimes they don't mesh welland sometimes are even contradictory." Carol McRandle of the speech pathology/ audiologydepartment said in SER, committee members have "counted numbers of published articles and notlooked at quality and other areas of unpublished scholarly endeavor." Faculty members affirm the merit of research as a scholarly endeavor: Lamer said, "There are some people whose teaching is lousybecause they haven't learned anything in a long time- ...(their) teaching won't improve until they do some research." What faculty members question is how critical research is to good teaching, whether theresearch needs to lead to publication and whether it shold be a primary concern at Western."Research doesn't translate into the classroom all that well," Maurice Foisy of the political sciencedepartment said. "Other activities should be rewarded. "The whole process is out of kilter with the actualdemands of the job," he said. Giving research that leads to publication great weight in rewards systemsisn't fair, some faculty say, because faculty doesn't have the opportunity to publish. The opportunity topublish differs from discipline to discipline. For example, Foisy explained, in the sciences, faculty canpublish whole articles on a bit of information. It doesn't even have to be a positive discovery; it canbe a null finding. But in the social sciences, a researcher must have a whole thesis, with significantfindings, before he or she can publish. Technology, nursing, journalism, social studies and other appliedareas have a tough time with publishing standards. They show their scholarship in action projectsrather than publishing, Foisy said. "The committees don't take these differences into account," he said. Another question is, what is the quality of the work published if faculty are publishing for the sake ofcareer advancement? Lyle Harris of the communication department said, "If universities didn't requirepublishing for advancement, the forests of the nation would be thicker and fewer people would beemployed by the pulp mills." Even if every faculty member had something important to contribute tothe collective human intelligence, just by sheer bulk it couldn't be printed. Paul Woodring, a Westernprofessor .emeritus, said in the United States more than a half-million men and women are teaching inour colleges and universities. If each were to write a book every five years, the resulting 100,000 booksperyearwould be far greater than the number of books of all kinds now published. If each were to writeonly two short articles a year the number, two million, would far exceed the space in all the scholarlyjournals. If each college teacher tried to be a publishing scholar, many would find it impossible to gettheir books or articles into print. He continued, "Western has always had some faculty members who are superior teachers who keep up with changes in their fields, despite their failure to publish. Soundscholarship takes many forms. Publication is one, but teaching is another, an equally legitimate form.Socrates never published a word." Sherwood named dean â€¢ STUDENTS, from page 1 when VicePresident for Student Affairs Tom Quinlan resigned last quarter. At that time Quinlan said, "It'sunrealistic for one man to do both jobs." He added, "Student services will suffer from this combination."Nevertheless, at her visit last month to Western, Sherwood said, "I understand the reasoning behind it.Ross, when he was at the University of Nebraska, was both a vice president and a dean. Having donethat himself, he felt whoever comes here can do that." Sherwood is currently assistant vice chancellorfor student services at the University of Missouri at Kansas City. She earned her Ph.D. in educationalpolicy and administration from the University of Kansas in 1977. Eco author wants Reagan out ByDiane Dietz Ernest Callenbach, environmentalist and author of "Ecoto-pia," said incumbent politicians, and especially the president, are selling out the future. He urged environmentalists to becomepolitically active before the next elections. "Ronald Reagan has been carrying out a war against the weak; and the weak are the poor, the black, the female and the yet unborn," Callenbach told 100people here Friday. Within the Reagan tax structure, Americans make only two-thirds of what they did in 1975, and that's okay for families that earn an extra $2,000 a year but not for the poor.

But the unborn, the future, is Callenbach's primaryconcern. "We're saddling our children with a debased environment and the national debt may becatastrophic for them," he said. "We must learn to stay within the normal budget of the earth," hesaid. The way to assure this, Callenbach said, is to "target bad people and get them out of office. Itwill serve notice to other politicians that they must clean up their environmental act; It's fear thatmotivates politics," he said. "The most important thing is to organize, to join with like-minded people...touse the political process to minimize the damage to the environment and preserve something for ourchildren," he said. "As environmentalists, we have to put our hands into the muck of politics from timeto time," he said. The environmentally aware must "go to those awful meetings, sit through the boringdiscussions, and learn how to do it," he said "It's not important that everybody does a lot, but it isimportant that everbody does something," he said. Callenbach mentioned selective buyingpressure, legal pressure and stressed political pressure as environmentalists' tools. "Bellingham,"he said, "is regarded as one of the great centers of environmental awareness and intelligence on thecontinent."

It's unfortunate it had to come from library money, but perhaps the library will regain that money at the end of the fiscal year from whatever departments don't spend. Itshould be noted, however, where those faculty positions are going, and where the only two permanentpositions are goingâ€”technology. The other positions, one each for business, computer science andEnglish, and one-half position for math and history, are one-year positions that will be reviewed at the end of the year. The addition of the two tech positions is the beginning of a faculty buildup for thatdepartment that probably will continue when Western requests money from the Legislature next year.Like it or not, Western is on its way to building up its technology program. Whether it will come at theexpense of the liberal arts program remains to be seen. Although Western President G. Robert Ross has been accused of being less t h an forthright about his vision of what Western should be, his actionsshould leave little doubt about his plans. Keep free parking In view of already-approved rate increases ofmore than 100 percent in some campus parking lots for next year, it is hard to justify thought of a "full-fledge" night parking problem. While it is n o doubt true that students and faculty attending eveningclasses prefer to parkas close to their classrooms as possible, the same holds for students using thelibrary, Miller Hall Coffeeshop and the Performing Arts Center at night on an irregular basis. It is a rareoccasion when the lots near Arntzen Hall and the Environmental Studies Center are full at night. Otheron-campus lots frequently have empty stalls after 5 p.m. It would be unfair to force students who driveonto campus only one or two nights per week to park blocks from the center of campus when on-campus stalls are open. And to implement newfees alongside massive increases in existing fees unfairlytaxes already over-burdened students. Beginning a n ew program that would be useful only when veryspecial activities are in progress on campus seems an overzealous solution to an overstated problem.Aid with no strings It was all too predictable. Jose'Napoleon Duarte wins El Salvador's presidentialelection, President Reagan follows with one of his puzzingly effective television pitches for moremilitary aid to that country, and the House of Representatives goes alongâ€”no strings attached. By afour-vote margin, the House agreed to appropriate another $129.4 million for Reagan to use at hisdiscretion in Central America over the next four months. The absence from the package of conditionsdemanding improvements in El Salvador's atrocious human rights record is another step backward fromachieving a peaceful solution to the conflict there. As long as death squads are allowed to use U.S.-made weapons to terrorize Salvadoran villages, left-wing guerrillas will continue to receive enough popularsupport to stay in business. And every escalation of fighting in the region brings the United States closer to direct combat involvement there.

That was obvious during a celebration attended by severalvictorious AS candidates Wednesday night. Their dislike for Keith developed because Keithsupposedly encouraged Ron Warren to attempt a write-in campaign against their friend, theunopposed George Sidles. It's understandable that Sidles and his supporters might be upset with thelast-minute challenge. But this whole sordid incident has been blown out of proportion. AlthoughWarren may be qualified for vice president for academic affairs, it was silly for anyone to think he coulddefeat Sidles. After all, Sidles' name was the only one on the ballot for position three. He was the onlycandidate who got media coverage and he was the only one who put up posters. Warren had as good achance of beating Sidles as Gary Hart does of beating Walter Mondaleâ€”none. But the affair becameeven sillier than simply thinking Sidles was in trouble. Several people said Keith somehow wanted toconfuse the position-three race so much that no one would be elected. That would have allowedPresident Keith to then appoint his own vice president for academic affairs. I'm still trying to figure outhow that would be possible. But I can't determine how no one could win the post. If Sidles had lost, thensomeone would have gotten more votes and won. The only way no one could win would be if no one voted or all votes were voided. Face it, the position couldn't have been vacant. Keith explained he didn'tencourage Warren to challenge Sidles, he just advised Warren to seek another post rather than thepresidency. "But the rumors got around," he said. Keith should have known any campaign action thatcan lead to detrimental rumors should be avoided. If he didn't know that, he does now. But Keith madesome other mistakes as well. He should have let Warren run for president. Warren's late candidacywouldn't have affected that race either. Keith should have known that encouraging Warren to seekanother post would only anger, but not defeat, whomever Warren chose to oppose. In this case, theanger may have cost Keith the presidency. Thus, this controversy ranks as the silliest decisive issueof any political race ever.

It is hitting this county, anyway. The shift is subtle butbound to bring an awareness out that people have avoided for so long. It is time!! Can you guess whatthe basis for this shift is? Yes, it's recycling, which is not just the act of separating paper, metals, and glass from our garbage. It is the attitude and understanding that goes behind this responsibility.Recycling is often perceived for only a certain "type" of person, which is a grave misrepresentation.This responsibility is for absolutely everyone; young and old. Moreover, we big people have to startsetting examples for the little people. I can't find anything about recycling that makes it not worth-"whileand I have given this idea as much thought as raindrops on a real rainy day. Does recycling taketoo much time? PSHAWW! Granted, every kitchen is different but one just needs to do some adjusting.Again, it is one's attitude. Oh yeah, the third common excuse, but isn't it a horrible mess? PSHAWW!Not if you recycle correctly. A quick rinse, a little stomping here and there will do it. We all washdishes, we can all recycle. But how am I supposed to leam how to? Please don't feel funny calling theA.S. Recycle Centerâ€”676-3088. The staff loves to get phone calls from potential recyclers. Really!Let's step out of the recycling kitchen and onto the campus of Western. What lucky-duckies we are tohave a materials recovery system. You probably have wondered what those blue barrels are for, haven'tyou? They are a home for recycle paperl Not styrofoam, chewing tobacco, or food scraps. They areconveniently located throughout campus. If your response to those barrels is "I don't want to walk all theway over there just to throw a piece of paper away!", I think you should go sit somewhere and think ofthe implications of such an attitude. That goes for the glass and aluminum depots on campus as well. I can guarantee to you, that you will feel incredibly good to take the 30-second walk to the depot orrecycle-paper barrel. Just try it. I bet you it will only take once or twice before you get the hang of it. Wehave covered a lot in this letter to the editor, but recycling is a very expansive issue. Recycling bringsyou to an awareness and understanding of the vast implications of "garbage." The concept isinterdisciplinary, although it has not been treated as such. How many classes have covered the issueof "garbage?" I can't stress enough to give some thought to this overwhelming problem that you andonly you can do something about. Everytime that you throw glass, aluminum, tin, or paper into yourgarbage can, I hope you feel so guilty that you do something about it. I am talking to you. Peedy W i t ter Tech separation can only benefit Western Western Front: As my final quarter at Western is slowlycoming to an end, I realized it was time I wrote a letter to the editor of the Western Front.

As a graduate-to-be of the technology program, I felt it was my time to speak onthe merits of the tech department that have eluded many Front readers over the years. Contrary topopular belief, the separation of the tech department from the College of Arts and Sciences initiated by President G. Robert Ross can only benefit Western. The tech department at Western isn't designed tofill students minds with theory and stifle all creativity. The technology prefessors are not trying tocreate computer-minded inhumans who will push us to the brink of an all-out automated industrialsociety. Rather, the goal of the tech department is to teach the application of science for the solution ofpractical problems. I would encourage more students to look into the technology program; it hasoffered me more than I expected these past four years. The outstanding credentials of the staff and the variety of classes offered is surpassed by none. As the future possibility of certifying engineers atWestern approaches, I only foresee a brighter academic future for students and an increased respectfor Western Washington University as a whole. Brian Hanchett New budget praised Western Front: It is good to see that Western's 1984-85 budget will include money for some new faculty positions. Afterfour years here at West-em, I am still having problems getting into core classes required for my major inindustrial technology. I hope that the added faculty positions are put to good use to shorten waitinglists for classes that are in high demand. I know the technology department isn't the only departmentwith this problem. By adding in these bottle-necked areas, I think waiting lists could be shortened oreliminated. This would allow students more flexibility in scheduling, by not having to live and die by the blue-slip, as I have. If it was easier to enter the prerequisite classes, it would be easier for students toWESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS PLEASE POST Deadline forannouncements in this space is noon Monday for the Tuesday issue of Western Front and noon Thursdayfor the Friday edition.

Space ---------- Western Front - 1984 May 15 - Page 6 ---------- 6 Western Front Arts/En Sculpture nuances noticed By Christine Valdez "The Sky-Viewing Sculpture" in Red Square is well-recognized from the university letterhead. "For Handel," the red steel fixture in thePerforming Arts Center square is impossible to miss. Also on campus, however, are art pieces studentspass without much notice. All the art pieces are part of Western's Outdoor Sculpture Museum, whichbegan in 1960 with James Fitzgerald's "Rain Forest" fountain located by Haggard Hall. RichardFrancis, chairman of the acquisition committee, said/The art pieces were put out in the open sostudents will encounter them on their way to class and can think about values from another person'spoint of view." "Alphabeta Cube" created in 1975 by architect Fred Bassetti looks like a simple woodencube upon first inspection but actually contains", complex symbolism. Bassetti, who also designedWilson Library, funded the cube with an art allowance from the Wilson Library construction budget.Francis said since 1968, when "Sky-Viewing Sculpture" was funded with a portion of the Miller Hallconstruction budget, "Western had made a voluntary commitment to put aside a percentage for art out of major capital expenses." Later, Washington passed a law that one-half of 1 percent of all buildingexpenditures must go to public art. Suspended within "Alphabeta" is a 38-sided bronze polyhedron upon which are engraved the alphabet, numbers and the symbols for pi and infinity. Francis said"Alphabeta" is an expression of Bassetti's literary and architectural interests. The cube symbolizes hisvisual interests and the polyhedron symbolizes his interest in verbal work. In 1976, upon conclusionof his six years as a departmental technician and art instructor at Western, Charles A. Scottpresented to Western a small bronze plaque he had made. The plaque reads "Things are Seldom WhatThey Seem" and is placed on the Music Plaza Center wall. Francis said the phrase comes from Hinduscriptures and means "All things are immaterial." He added the plaque is an invitation to the viewer tolook over Bellingham Bay westward toward the Far East. Scott said of his work, "The plaque with itsstatement is the piece. The placement of the plaque is also part of the intent oi the piece." Francis saidpart of the purpose of the plaque is to make people of this area, who are so Western-culture oriented,more aware of the Far East. "For example, saying, 'It's only a plaque' is a Western idea," Francis said.The models for the art pieces in the entryway between Red Square and the Miller Hall courtyard werea 5-cent stamp and a pet crow. Richard Beyer, who designed "Einstein among the Crows," said hechose the theme because "the Unnoticed by many students, an engraved polyhedron hangs hiddenwithin the "Alphabeta Cube"and Einstein stares up from terra cotta bricks in the entry-way betweenRed Square and the Miller Hall courtyard. science we teach is narrow compared to Einstein's finemind and generosity. It's like Einstein standing among the crows." Einstein was carved into the terra-cotta brick using a 5-cent stamp as the model. Actually, the Einstein that sits in the entryway is thesecond one Beyer made, the first one was stolen in about 1968. Francis said, "It was the beginning of the rip-off period." Beyer said he modeled the crows from a crow he and his wife kept in a cage. "Mywife would put turkey carcasses in the cage and the crow would look like a big monster bird eating ina shipwreck," Beyer explained. Beyer took a picture of the "big monster bird" and silkscreened itsimage onto the tiles with manganese oxide. The tiles then were fired and placed in their currentpositions. Francis said he expects the outdoor collection will remain as it is since no major building isplanned. Also, Francis said Virginia Wright, who has donated money to Western for many of the artpieces, has ended her donations for the "forseeable future." That should give students a chance todiscover the already existing sculptures students so often pass by. :^J Campus art gets opini- ByThaddeus Self Students agreed outdoor sculpture belongs at Western. But a consensus of which artbelongs at Western hasn't been found. Sculptures such as "India", between Old Main and Humanities and Serra's massive untitled rust walls draw mixed comments from students. "That one's ugly. It lookslike a piece of garbage," one said of Serra's piece. Another student said he liked "the graffitti one"(Serra) because one could walk inside it. Dan Henry, a senior, and a former Navy man, said, "I like rust. The "India" one is the best of rust I've ever witnessed. Sort of reminds me of my old ship." GraydonBritton, a junior business major said, "Art, besides looking good or being beautiful, is representing anidea. I think art's great on campus." "It's a blob," Lou PeJ junior history major sal the sculpture in theArts Center square "Foi lt; "It looks like a do^ down.

"I think it's great around," one student added "I thinkthis one the big orange one, stupid..." Another student said thing up here? Yeah, th lt; 'Sloane' spiced with comedy By Thaddeus Self Peppered liberally with subtle and not-so-subtle humor, "Entertaining Mr. Sloane" provides an evening of serious commentary on how people use each other. This darkcomedy, written by Joe Orton and directed by Mark Reese, can be seen at 8:15 p.m. this Friday andSaturday at the Fairhaven Auditorium. The play involves Ed, a wealthy, middle-aged homosexual whosupports his twittering sister, Kath, and doddering, ignored father, "Dada". Kath is frustrated and cowedby Ed's long-standing suppression of her sexual womanhood. Ed's dislike of women, thinly disguisedin his moral preaching, is brought out early in the play. He is much more generous toward his ownpreference, which here turn toward a young, handsome boarder taken in by Kath. Ed hires thenewcomer, Mr. Sloane, as a chauffeur and showers Sloane with gifts, while Kath promptly seduceshim. Sloane, played by Bruce Born-traeger, is an amoral character well-practiced in using his looks.Among his secrets is the murder of Dada's former employer. Dada, of course, recognizes Sloane. Edand Kath (Mark Murphy and Christine Phelan), are too much concerned with their own uses for Sloaneto listen to Dada. Sloane, however, does listen. The acting stops only short of the intentions of theplaywright. Murphy's hypocritical, slimy Ed could stand to be a little more so, as Phelan's Kath could be a bit more furtive and scatterbrained. Kath, only a little less weasly than Ed, gives more than one goodchortle. Her single-minded clinging to her "baby," (Sloane) couples insanely with her completelyirrelevant responses to everything said to her.

Monahan and drummer Doug Mah pulsate the beat forOtis Day and the Knights. (Right) macho man Kevin Tate sings YMCA. Photo by Angela Dean ByAngela Dean "Shout!" And that's what the audience did for Otis Day and the Knights. And that's whatOtis Day sang, along with "Shama-lama-ding-dong," to win the $125 first place prize at the third annualWestern Jam air band contest Saturday night. But that's not all. Nine other bands competed, butthe three winning groups made use of screaming women and coaxed the audience with tricycle riding,be-boppin', soul movin' music and seductive moves from macho men, though the macho could bequestionable. The second-place winners, receiving $75, were the macho men from Sigma/Omega, theVillage People . Third place went to four men from Kappaâ€”the Monkees. Each group performed one song and then the judges decided on three finalists. The final three had to reappear on stage and arouse the audience's reaction even more since one area of judging depended upon the crowd response. Thethree judges, junior Brent Howard, senior Mark Malcolm and KISW's rockin' disc jockey Steve DanWilke didn't take long from their seventh row seats to decide which bands had the best air band ability,lip movement, choreography and backup musicians. If the hollers from the audience had anybearing on the judges' opinions, then it was evident who the final three Faire creates haven for life'scelebration By Diane Dietz The Renaissance Faire. Grown men in stove-pipe tin demonstrated "dyingpretty." A bearded man in red tights, with a cape and wrap-around sunglasses dashed through thecrowd, with an entourage of e n t h u s i a s t i c kids running behind. A chorus of three-year-old voices rose in protest when a paper mache' puppet magician threatened to punish a paper mache' child. An elderly Indian woman shed her cane to stand up and sway to the tones of a marimba band. "The wholereason for the fair is rebirth and celebration of life," Prudy Elam, one Fairhaven fair coordinator, said asshe emerged from the puppeteer's tent-stage Saturday. Musicians helped the 300 to 400 people, whocame to the fair throughout the day, celebrate. The Rubber Band, a folk group, began at 10 a.m., whenmerchants still were setting up their booths. When the pottery and Guatemalan tapestries, batikedpillows and stained glass were all arranged, merchants sipped Tony's coffee, Zimbabwe grind, andglanced up at the threatening sky. But by 3:30 p.m. when the Kutuma Marimba band appeared onstage, the courtyard was full, and the merchants were too busy to comment about the gray cloud coverthat had broken into downy clouds passing periodic shadow over the scene. The six-member bandplayed xylophones, instruments made of wood slats ranging in size from two inches wide by one-quarter inch deep to eight inches wide and two inches deep. Together t h e y played interlocking rhythms, andthe tones filled the courtyard and lapped over the hill toward campus. A woman with a crew cut, men intights, and a variety of others danced with someone or no one in particular. The African rhythms grewfrenzied and the barefoot dancers did, too. Nearby, toddlers played with the juggler's tennis balls whiletheir parents danced. Mad Marvin, a sort of super hero, introduced the other acts. He appeared, capeflapping, to the delight of the kids. He ushered in a belly dancer, a jester, jugglers, a puppet show andshort scenes from Shakespeare The Society for Creative Anach-ronisms demonstrated their fights. Menin hardware armor duelled for a lady, thrashing each other with rattan swords. "If we must be violent letus do it with play," a society member announced. One of the fighters, Alexander the Some Less thanSane, later demonstrated his finesse at dying. He is a champion deathman and he has won the Orderof the Shattered Shield for dying face down in a mud puddle in the crown tournament. At the fair he died from repeated blows to the top of his helmet, he staggered, did a somersault, fell with a clatter andtwitched elaborately. Society fellows picked him up. And the celebration of life went on... would be, butwhat place was questionable. Of course, Otis Day, his Knights and musicians shimmying across thePerforming Arts Center stage brought alive the soul in the audience members. But, the Monkees caused the girls to swoon with their wholesome song, "Hey, Hey, We're the Monkees." They were too busysinging and riding tricycles in their psychedelic pants to put the audience down. The four-member bandfrom Kappa came to the final air band contest last year and wanted to do it again. John Lavin playedDavy Jones, Paul Pokela was Peter Tork, Todd Collins playing drums portrayed Mickey Dolenz andMichael Nesmith and his famous hat was played by Michael Towey. All four are sophomores. Lavinwas pleased with audience reaction. "Screaming girls are fun things," he said. The second-placewinners got an abundance of screams for their act. The "macho men" from San Francisco, the VillagePeople, showed that men from all professions could swing their hips. During their first song, "YMCA," girls in the front row rose from their seats and did the arm movements along with the members of theband. The fast-paced song kept the yells coming and the lead singer, Ring Nishioka, portraying apoliceman, strutted across the stage moving his hips and doing the moon walk. Misanthrope The othersingers all had the same choregraphic moves and kept the beat of the song flowing. Members from theVillage People were Sid Halbert (cowboy); Randy Hurlow (biker); John Song (Indian); Kevin Tate(construction worker); and Frank Williams (army). The musicians were Dan McDonald (bass); JimHanson (guitar); Dan Kurnik (trumpet); Randy Pearson (drums); Mark Kramer (saxophone andkeyboard); and Paul Noot (trombone). Otis Day and the Knights, from Nash Hall, painted their facesbrown and used the "same stuff Michael Jackson uses on his hair," and practiced for about a month.Keith Remfert was Otis, the three Knights were Julio Ramirez, Steve Haaland and Scott Moliter. DougMah played drums; Peter K. Monahan was the percussionist "from Jamaica"; Scott Campbell was thebass player; Marc Vallot keyboards; and Matt "the rat" Wallace played a saxophone. When askedwhat they would do with the prize money, Campbell said they would have an investment." Rumor is that they might have a party with the Village People. Judges Howard and Malcolm said both the VillagePeople and the Knights had good choreography and so they had to examine the back-up bands tomake a decision. Village People needed to have the. musicians in view more for the audience, they said. "You can't fake music, but you can fake the dancing," Malcolm said. Play evolves to 1920s By ChrisCaviezel Moving Moliere's production from 17th century France, to a 1924 English Labor Day weekendis an effort to make "The Misanthrope" more accessible to a modern audience. "The 17th centurydisplayed cleavage," director Maureen O'Reilly said. "The 1920s is just the opposite. (Women's) figuresare looking more like men's. They cut their hair, play sports and drink." The comedy attempts to showpeople where their priorities should be. "It is easy for people to get their priorities wrong. Theirrelationships are no longer there," O'Reilly said. Alceste is caught in the middle of Celimene andArsione, both in love with him. "It is quite a bit about dancing," O'Reilly said. The people of the '20scared more about dancing than each other. "Conversation and romance are used." The lead character,Alceste (Seth McKenzie), thinks people should be more wonderful than they are. He is a people hater,which comes from being a people lover. Society disappoints him. Celimene (Wendee Pratt) is toopopular. She gathers more and more friends and stabs them in the back, but she is in love with Alceste. Arsinoe (Pattie Miles) is a prude. She believes what is okay for her is not for others. Arsinoe also is inlove with Alceste and tries to take him away from Celimene. The colors for the set and costumes arelimited to black, white and rose plus a lot of glitter. The costumes are silk-screened, dyed and designedby Julienne Rupp who special ordered the silk screening and dye from California. McKenzie hasappeared in "Hedda Gabler" and "Godspell" but Alceste is his first leading role- Pratt has been in 'PeterPan" and was on the Shakespeare tour. Miles was in "Hedda Gabler" and "Under Milkwood." This isO'Reilly's first year at Western.

An animal shelter employee clipped a spot of hair from the dog's forearm asanother employee tightened a narrow piece of rubber hose higher up its leg, exposing a vein. The dog lay there patiently, its head raised, its long, brown bell-shaped ears dangling gently as it lazily looked up atthe dejected man who would end its life. Story and photos by Bob Bolerjack One animal shelter workermassaged the dog through its thick, curly, brown and white coat in an effort to make its last secondscomfortable. "Keeping the animal calm is what being humane is all about," he said. The dog laymotionless as the man slowly inserted the needle into its leg, sending a lethal dose of sodiumpentobarbital on a rapid journey to the dog's central nervous system. Within five seconds, the dog's eyes closed and its chin dropped gently to the table. Within one minute, the hunting dog, which had beenreleased to the animal shelter the previous morning by its owner for "chasing ducks and chickens," wasdead. This unhappy scene is repeated more than 3,000 times each year at the Bellingham-WhatcomCounty Humane Society's animal shelter. More than 4,000 dogs and cats â€” half stray, half owner-released â€” wind up at the shelter annually. More than 70 percent are unable to be placed into newhomes and are "put to sleep." Animal welfare workers throughout Whatcom County wish the deathscould be stopped, but realize that task is enormous. They say that until more pet owners take steps tocontrol the overpopulation of dogs and cats by having their animals surgically neutered, the deaths will continue. Three non-profit organizations in Whatcom County now work in advocacy of neutering. Twofoster-home groups, in addition to the Bellingham-Whatcom County Humane Society, also work to placehomeless animals with qualified owners while providing temporary homes. Combined, the BellinghamAlternative Humane Society and The Arc Humane Society provide 11 foster homes, some of 1111111Animal over-population reaps unhappy consequences. More than 70 percent of the dogs and cats broughtinto the Bellingham -Whatcom County Humane Society's animal shelter each year must be "put tosleep." which keep up to 16 animals at a time. Erin Wilson, Alternative Humane Society president, saidher group was organized seven years ago to provide an alternative to euthenizing (humanely destroying)animals. Wilson's group and The Arc realize, however, that the annual euthenizing of thousands ofanimals in Whatcom County currently cannot be avoided. "We don't handle strays. We take animalspretty much on an emergency-only basis," said Wilson, who has four foster dogs in her home. '"I'mmoving tomorrow' is not enough of an emergency, but a bad allergy to pets might be." She said thegroup also offers a listing service for owners willing to keep their animal until it can be placed. Bothgroups say they are very particular about the homes into which they place pets. Wilson's group insistson inspecting homes before an animal is placed. Both groups say they check back after the adoption tomake sure things are going smoothly and the animal is being cared for properly. . "It's as tough adopting an animal from us as adopting a child," Wilson said. Both groups have new pet owners sign astatement promising to spay or neuter an animal that is not altered already. Wilson's Erin Wilson (left)and Laina Jansma of the Bellingham Alternative Humane Society with foster pets Mercy, Rusty andBreeze. group provides 50 percent subsidies on neutering costs for low-income owners. Both ask fordonations from adoptive pei owners, but do not require it. Both also advertise free pets, and that has theBellingham-Whatcom County Humane Society upset. "If you get something cheap or free, you're lesslikely to take care of it," said Tim Lucy, education director for the Bellingham-Whatcom County group."We believe there is value in putting value on an animal." Lucy's group, Whatcom County's originalhumane society, dating back to the turn of the century, contracts with Bellingham and Whatcom Countyfor animal control services. It is responsible for the pick-up of stray animals throughout the county. Italso provides the county's only animal shelter. Lucy said he believes the alternative humane societiesadvocate pet ownership and surgical neutering, but wishes they would adopt his group's "foolproof plan.His organization charges $35 for dogs and $20 for cats. These prices include a spay/neuter certificate,good for free surgery by the veterinarian of the owner's choice, a leash, collar, identification tag orlicense, temporary inoculation, free veterinary exam, and a seven-day trial period. All these serviceswould cost considerably more purchased separately. Lucy said his group requires payment up-front tomake new pet owners realize "there is no such thing as a free pet." "When a prospective pet ownercomes here, it's sober-up time," he said. "We tell people it's not easy to be a pet owner. A dog or catcan cause lots of trouble. For anyone to enter pet ownership because it's free is a big mistake." LainaJansma, treasurer of the Bellingham Alternative Humane Society, said she does not like to give animalsaway free, but must if it is the only way animals can be placed. She said the reason her group beganoffering free pets recently was that it was forced to compete with the "Absolutely Free" classified columnin the Bellingham Herald. The Arc Humane Society, born little more than a year ago, advertises free pets because many people can't afford to pay for pets, Arc president Rhonda Simkins said. "Not everyonewho can pay high prices for a pet would be a good owner," she said. Despite their differing methods ofpet placement, all three groups agree their goal is to curb the pet population explosion by advocatingneutering. The biggest obstacles in this quest, Simkins said, are the myths about neutering held bymany pet owners. "Many people believe a female animal should not be spayed before her first heat,which is absolutely untrue," she said. Other popular myths regarding surgical neutering, said the animalshelter's Lucy, include beliefs that neutering makes animals fat, lazy or bored, and deprives them ofsomething they need to experience. Pet owners choosing not to spay or neuter their animals are askingfor problems, he said. When unaltered female pets enter their "heat" periods, unwelcome males comecourting, and blood stains can appear on carpets and furniture. Unaltered male pets tend to wander,heightening the chance of being struck by an automobile. Male cats can develop the annoying habit.ofspraying foul-smelling urine around the house to "stake out their territory." Jansma, of the alternativehumane society, said young people are especially likely to avoid neutering a pet. "Students are veryguilty of believing animals have to 'do their own thing (sexually),'" she said. "They don't think about thenext generation of animals." An unaltered female dog, Jansma said, can be responsible for the births ofas many as 4,000 dogs over seven years, if all its offspring go unaltered down the family line. Frustrated by the animal population explosion and the fact that her group had to turn many animals away, Jansmalast year decided to help "on the other end." She now provides a bi-weekly transportation service,separate from her humane society duties, to a low-cost spay/neuter clinic in Mount Vernon for petowners who cannot get their animals to a vet for surgery. "It has grown a lot through word-of-mouth,"Jansma smiled. "We take eight or nine animals down every two weeks, but I've had up to 14 in my car atone time." In 14 months, Jansma said, her service has enabled more than 500 animals to be surgicallyneutered. Neutering rates for animals placed by all three local humane societies are reported at morethan 90 percent. Combined with Jansma's transportation service, these groups are beginning to curb theanimal over-population problem here. But more must be done if the yearly death-rate at the animalshelter is to decrease. The Arc's Simkins favors a mandatory spay/neuter law. Others would like to seethe practice of advertising free pets in newspapers stopped. The people assigned to the painful duty ofeuthenizing dogs and cats at the animal shelter say they want to see that part of their jobs eliminated.But until more pet owners take the responsibility for neutering their animals, animal workers agree thatthousands of healthy animals will continue to die. ---------- Western Front - 1984 May 15 - Page 9 ---------- Tuesday, May 15, 1984 Western Front 9 Goodall's research concludes Chimps provide insight onchildrearing By Deanna Shaw Like humans, chimpanzee mothers are role models for their youngsters,so their ability to mother affects a young chimpanzee's development, said eminent scientist JaneGoodall at a lecture at Simon Fraser University Wednesday. After 25 years researching wildchimpanzees at the Gombe Stream Reserve in Tanzania, Goodall has concluded her studies shedlight on how children are affected by growing up in today's fragmented Western society. They also canhelp us gain insight into emotional and mental problems plaguing some families, she said. Oursocial structure, like that of the chimps, has evolved into one characterized by the demise of thesupportive, extended family and the upsurge of single-parent families. And like chimps, our childrenspend a relatively long period maturing, probably because of the importance of societal learning, shesaid. Chimps all know and recognize each other, Goodall said. They often socialize and travel insmall fluctuating groups. The one stable unit in this fluid society is the mother and her offspring. Mothers socialize and travel with other members of the troop for short periods of time, but may spend up to 80percent of their time traveling alone with their youngsters. Because of this social structure, the type of mother a chimpanzee hasâ€”her behavior, social status and the maternal technique shedisplaysâ€”can make a tremendous difference on the way a youngster grows up, Goodall said. "Most(chimpanzee mothers) are efficient. I once thought that no poor mothers existed in the wild, but that isnot the case. Some are so poor that their first born die," said Goodall, herself the mother of a 17-year-old son. "Some are affectionate, tolerant in food sharing...while others are inaffectionate and display selfish food-sharing tendencies," she said. "Some are overprotective, some playful; some are overlyrestrictive and don't want interaction; some are too permissive and laxâ€”these youngsters may get hurt," she told the capacity crowd of about 600. Other factors enter into a young chimp's development,as well. Family position is important, Goodall said, noting that the first born of a solitary mother growsup having to amuse itself much of the time and lacks a variety of role models or teachers to turn to intimes of stress or trouble. Age and sex of the youngster makes a difference to the chimp's development, as does the mother's age when the chimp is born. Finally, the social rank of the mother has a greataffect on the development of a young chimp. Although female societal positions are less clear-cut than those of the males, mothers of higher social positions in a tribe exhibit more appropriate responses tomales when mating, thereby becoming more popular as mates and bettering their social standing. Toillustrate her points, Goodall focused on two chimp families, those of Flo and her daughter Fifi, andthose of Passion and her daughter Pom. Flo, an old chimp, and Fifi both were good mothers of highsocial standing who played a lot with their children, shared their food and had long grooming sessionswith them, Goodall said. Flo successfully raised offspring during Goodall's years of observing her. Buther son Flint, born when she was old, displayed very abnormal behavior development patterns for achimpanzee. Flint, at age three, refused to be weaned, throwing violent temper tantrums and whiningpersistently when denied the breast. He got his way about most things in similar fashion. With thebirth of Flo's last child, Flame, Flint became depressed and reverted to infantile behavior, riding hismother's back when they moved about, refusing to leave her nest at night and insisting on moregrooming. When the baby disappeared a few months later, Flint became his gregarious, lively self oncemore but still remained overly dependent. His mother's death, when he was six, devastated Flint. Helived only a few weeks, suffering a deep depression despite his sister Fifi's attempts to spend moretime with him. Goodall suspects the highly dependent behavior was a result of Flo's age and herconsequent inability to discipline Flint effectively. Fifi, a successful mother, has raised two precociousmales who began to dominate females and other youngsters of lower social Jane Goodall rank at a veryearly age. They have often gotten away with highly irritating and objectionable behavior because of ahighly supportive family nearby, Goodall said. Despite their youth, they also have left their mother tojoin adult males on patrolling expeditions. Passion, on the other hand, was a rather callous mother,often intolerant of her offspring. Her children interacted poorly with each other as well as other membersof the troop. Her son Prop, approaching young adulthood at age 12, still doesn't fully dominate theBIRTHDAY CARDS 1220 NO.

Passion and Pom manifested the most bizarre behaviorpattern Goodall has witnessed during her studies, despite a close mother-daughter relationship.Working as a team, Pom and Passion began siezing other mother's infants and eating them. Eightinfants disappeared and only one was raised successfully. The behavior stopped abruptly after three orfour years, when both chimps gave birth. When Pom's infant later died, the pair shared motheringresponsibilities for Passion's son, Pax. And when Passion died last year, leaving four-year-old Pax,Pom "adopted" him, a common occurrence among chimps. Such adoptions often fail, ending in theyoungster's death because the mother's death is so traumatic to it. Goodall, after observing severalsuch adoptions, thinks the key to survival of chimp orphans is the emotional security provided by theclose physical contact of a larger chimp who knows what to do in times of trouble. Because of theirsimilar societal make-up and biology (chimps have brain circuitry, immune r e s p o n s e s andbehavioral responses, for instance, which bear a closer resemblance to those of humans than any other species), Goodall believes the study of chimp society can provide us with valuable clues tounderstanding the emotional problems of our own children. Furthermore, chimps act exactly as they feelwith few rules of social conduct inhibiting them, unlike human children who learn early to hide theirfeelings and act with much more self-control, Goodall said. They therefore can be studied more easily,and we can trace a bizarre behavior or an abnormal development pattern to the time of a given event,such as the traumatic loss of a mother, for instance. "Separations of long or short duration can leavelifetime scars on monkeys, and I feel it's important that we find out for certain if these things have alifelong effect on (our own) children," she said. We need to explore the implications on our children ofgrowing up in foster care, day care and other situations differing from the norm so we know if they willsuffer long-range effects, she said. Unlike chimpanzees, humans can break the vicious cycle of badmothering and poor social experiences through efforts aimed at re-educating adults to nurture theirchildren in more fulfilling, less damaging ways, Goodall said. They also can work to develop a network of close friendships to substitute for the loss of the extended families, she said. "Giving the best possiblestart we can (to our own children) will give the best possible benefit to the children of the future,"Goodall said. "We should be thinking of ways to compensate for the fragmentation of the atomicfamily. If Flint had had a big, extended family, he probably would have survived." â€¢ I I c o Q.

Photo by Katherine Kernodle Men win championship again in '84 By Elisa Claassen "Four in 84" was the theme of Coach Ralph Vernacchia's pep talk to his runners lastweek before the district track meet. He wanted to see his team carry the winning trophy back toWestern for the fourth consecutive year. They did. Last Friday and Saturday the mens track teamcompeted at Central Washington University in Ellensburg. In 1983, Western's men won by four points,thisyear they won by 47. Coach Vernacchia also was named coach of the year for the third year in arow. Although the 40 participating members reaped only four firsts, the depth carried them through.Chris Bjarke won the 800 meters in 1 minute, 55.16 seconds. Two years ago he was the districtchampion in another race, the 10,000 meters. Rod Underhill and Curt Weigel picked up third and fourthplaces (1:56.12 and 1:56.6 respectively). Mike Dubuc finished first in the marathon, which was held Feb. 25 in Seaside, Ore. Saturday he placed second in the 10,000 meters (32:03.5). Rick Shermanfinished sixth at 33:02.9. Western took a 1-2-3-5 finish in, the 10,000-meter racewalk, and it was thefirst try for one. Allen- James set a new meet record with his first-place finish (49:06.4) over his own 1983 record of 50:27.3. It is only the second year for the racewalk at the NAIA District meet. James hadbeen treating a pulled muscle and had not been able to train during the last week. Although he did notfeel ready, he said the training and mileage from the last several months "covered for it." Otherracewalkers were Colin Peters (49:25.4), Geoff Combs (1- 8:32.4) and Kevin Flanagan (1- 13:44.3). Itwas Flanagan's first attempt at racewalking and Combs' first attempt at 10,000 meters. Kurt Hanson's 6 foot 7 inch jump was not his best, but it did lend to Western's 2-3-5 finish in the high jump. SteveMonda and Kevin Bickerstaff placed third and fifth, both at six feet, five inches. "The other guy wasbetter on that day. He was trying for nationals. I let down after the last meet and wasn't as mentallyprepared/' Hanson said. He qualified last week for nationals jumping 6-10 1/4. Hanson prefers coolerweather, he said, and Saturday's event left him with a sunburn and blisters. "Heat almost puts me tosleep," he said. Jay Wangsmo, in his second time long-jumping this season, finished second. (22-93/4). Rob Soo took fifth at 21-10 1/2. David Woodward placed second in the 110 high hurdles afterwithdrawing in the last minute from last week's race due to hamstring problems. Western had a 3-5finish in the pole vault with Kevin Bickerstaff at 13-6, and Larry Zender at 12-6. In the 400 intermediatehurdles Western had a 2-4-5 finish: Rick Anderson finished second (54.96), Paul Kirkpatrick finishedfourth (56.9) and Ralph Jacobo finished fifth (56.9) Rick Buckenmeyer, who has already qualified fornationals, won the steeplechase at 9:26.1, not his personal best. Mark Stein and Brad Alexander placed second and fourth, respectively. It was a personal best for Steen at 9:27.1. Steen was ahead ofBuckenmeyer until the last of the seven laps when Buckenmeyer sped his pace. He also took a fifthin the 1500 meters which he blamed on the track being too crowded thus he was not able to pass.Garron Smith took a sixth in the 100 meters (11.34). Craig Wollen took a fifth in the shotput (41-8). Mark Browning took a fourth in the javelin (189-0). Both relays took third places: The 4x400 (3:20.6) and the4x100 (42.97). On April 24 and 25 Tony George finished fourth in the decathlon held at Central. May 24 to 26, five Western men will travel to Charlestown, West Virginia, for the NAIA nationals. Women runaway with district title By Chris Caviezel ELLENSBURGâ€”After the first day of competition, the teamhad a 19-point lead. When the competition was finished the Vikings had won by 89 % points. TheWestern women's track team won the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics District Onetitle Friday and Saturday with 196 points. The University of Puget Sound was second with 106V2.Pacific Lutheran University scored 105, Simon Fraser University, 101, Central Washington University,89 Vz, and Whitworth College, 23. Karen Gannon, Western, pulls University, in the 100hurdles ofPatience Harrison of UPS Kathy Miller and Lola Johnston competed in six races. Miller won the 400meters (57.89 seconds) and placed fifth in the 200 (26.2). Johnston took second in the 200 (25.98) andfourth in the 400 (58.14). Johnston's performance in the 200 was a school record. The record formerlywas held by Miller. This year Johnston has been running the 200 better than she has the 400, herspecialty in previous years. Coach Tony Bartlett put Miller and Johnston in six races to get more points. Their performances were beyond his expectations, he said. Janell Powers, Jeanna Setera, Miller andJohnston won the 1600-meter relay with a time of 3:55.82. In the 400-meter relay, Western, SFU andPLU were ranked within one-tenth of a second of each other. But, both SFU and PLU had problems.SFU dropped the baton and PLU's anchor leg, Latonya Stevens, pulled a hamstring. Kay Archer, DianaHolly, Miller and Johnston won the 400-meter relay (49.39) and their 800-meter medley relay (100meters, 100 meters, 2.00 meters and 400 meters) placed second with 1:47.5. The 3200-meter relay ofRobin Mortimer, Leigh Slotemaker, Powers and Setera placed third with 9:28.6. Powers beat defending400- hurales champion Karen Bell of PLU. "This was the first time I ran against her," Powers said. "Ihave been waiting for her. I felt confident." Powers pulled away from Bell in the final 100 meters. Shewon with a meet record time of 1:03.67. Setera won the 800 (2:16.77) and then 15 minutes later placedfourth in the 400 hurdles (1:09.5), an event she does not usually run. The 5,000 was a race of strategy.Cathy Kroll stayed behind Cor-rine Calvo of PLU for the first mile and then took command. "I broke it up,otherwise Calvo would have out-kicked me," Kroll said. Kroll won the 5,000 in 17:52.5 (a meet record)and placed third in the 3,000 110:18.0). The discus throw produced the most points for Western of anysingle event. It was, perhaps, the most emotional event. The competition was senior Felicia Bodey's last meet as a Viking. Bodey, who set the school record two years ago with a throw of 136 feet, 8 inches, has been in a slump all year. Everyone on the team wanted Bodey to win. Bodey wanted to win. Theevent's winner wanted Bodey to winâ€”so much that she was in tears after the event because Bodeylost. Going into the last throw Bodey was in third place. She was shedding tears, but was able tothrow 118-9, good enough for second place. Western's Diane Gort won the discus with a throw of 131-2and placed fourth in the shotput (33-10). "When I found out she (Gort) slept with her discus I knew shewould do something spectacular," Bartlett said. Archer took a pair of thirds in the 100 (12.86) and the200 (26.06). Throughout the season Karen Gannon led the district in the 100 hurdles, however, a mid-season injury hampered her training. Gannon placed second in the 100 hurdles (16.28) and fifth in theshotput. Joan Williamson had perhaps the best series of throws in the javelin in the NAIA. Williamsonhad four throws over 150 feet and broke her own meet record. Williamson won the event (157- 0) andRhonda Haag placed third (135-5). Kristy Dees was the defending champion and held the meet record in the high jump. Holly Wilson of PLU had not been clearing the bar until her third try at each height. But Wilson did clear 5-9, good enough to beat Dees. Dees jumped for second (5-7). Delores Montgomerytook control of the 10,000 meters from the start. Montgomery built up a 100- meter lead. But, CarolChris-tensen of Central and Dana Stamper of PLU caught up to Montgomery with three laps to go.Christensen took charge for good. Montgomery out-kicked Stamper in the final 100 meters to placesecond (38:36.1). Montgomery did not run the 5,000 because she re-injured her knee. Dianne Rowland placed sixth in the shotput. Robin Mortimer placed sixth in the 800 (2:20.3). Team unity and teamsupport was apparent throughout the meet. The men's and women's teams combined had more than 60athletes competing. Whenever Western athletes competedâ€” male or femaleâ€”they had the support ofthe whole team. "The team was very supportive throughout the meet," Powers said. "Everyone was foreveryone elseâ€”not just themselves." Williamson said, "You can't beat the team supportâ€”anywhere."Bartlett won the coach of the year award. "I look at that as a result of my team's performance," Bartlettsaid. "They went out and did the work." In the two events prior to the district meet, Sharon O'Dornanwon the marathon (3:20:04) on February 25 at Seaside, Ore. and Powers placed fourth in the hep-tathalon (4140) on April 24 and 25 in Ellensburg, ---------- Western Front - 1984 May 15 - Page 11 ---------- Tuesday, May 15, 1984 Western Front 11 Vikings squashed by heavier Huskies By Tim MahoneyWestern lacrosse midfielder Roderic Robinson decided something had to be done. His team wasreeling from, two quick University of Washington goals, the latest in a string of five straight against theVikings. So Robinson scooped up the ball shortly after the faceoff, charged down the middle of the fieldand fired a shot past the Huskies goalkeeper to spark a Western comeback. Still, the rally fell short asthe Vikings lost 11-9 to the heavier Huskies. Size was mentioned as one reason why Washingtonwas able to break a 3-3 tie with five straight goals in the second quarter. Before that, Western hadscored two straight to take a 2-1 lead. Western attacker and player-coach Rob Cuomo said, "We lettheir offense take our defense one-on-one and score." The Huskies led 8-3 before Robinson made hischarge and Western added another goal before halftime to make it 8-5. Several things went right for theVikings as they scored two more goals to start the second half. Midfielder Mark Baker said Westernplayed defense to the body instead of the stick, and Robinson said goalkeeper Mark Pehle stoppedshots "no other goalie could have stopped." Still, the Vikings never quite could tie the game andWashington hung on for the victory. Cuomo led Western with four goals. Player-coach Cuomo saidthe Fear and loathing in the Jell-O pits By Tim Mahoney As soon as I saw the huge hand-painted signadorning the entrance to the Ridgeway dining hall advertising Highland Hall's Big Time Jell-O Wrestlingcompetition, I knew I had to be there. It was precisely the sort of challenge I simply could notrefuseâ€” a vibrant journey into the heart of raw competition; a savage mano a mano battle in front ofscreaming throngs. / regret I must announce to my loyal fans and admirers th$t /am, retiring from Jell-o wrestling to take up the raw thrill of man-eating hamster hunting. â€”Tim Mahoney Forget theOlympics. Forget steroids. Forget the Russians and the East Germans and other countries pulling out of the Olympics. All I had to do was find a worthy opponent. I contacted my next-door neighbor and soldhim on the prospect of being a modern-day Spartacus. But a day or so later he came by and hurriedlymumbled something about how he'd thought about it and decided he couldn't pass up a great jobinterview in Biloxi, Miss., managing Reubin Askew's 1988 presidential campaign. This left me in a bind.The entry deadline was fast approaching, and I was desperate to find a warrior whose mettle wouldprove equal to my own. Finally, on Wednesday night, I found an eager wrestler in Mark, a rowingteammate and signed him up before he could change his mind. Shortly after 3 on a somewhat sunnyFriday afternoon, Mark and I faced each other on opposite sides of a nine-by-nine ring filled withquivering lime Jell-O, prepared to step into the slime for a chance at glory. I ripped off my robe and sweat pants, revealing my PE towel/ cape, and snarled, "I'm going to stomp your face into the Jell-O,complete with whipped cream, marshmallows, fruit salad and Bill Cosby!" I was to literally eat my words. I stayed even on the handshake, but matters slid downhill after that. It cannot be disputed: Mark won,and he won decisively. He called on his junior high school wrestling techniques (my high school didn'teven have a wrestling team) and stomped my face into the Jell-O, complete with whipped cream,marshmallows and fruit salad, but no Bill Cosby. I spent most of the three-minute, one-round contestbeing flung around the pit in a choke-hold by Mark. I did have one or two good moments, but mostly itwas a matter of grimly hanging on until Mark pinned me in the last 30 seconds. I had failed, though, toeducate Mark as to what the judges were looking for and grading on: a demonstration of how religiouslyone watched Tony Ventrella's Wrestling Hold of the Week Wednesday nights on KING Five. My losswas not his gain, a fact reflected in the judges' scores: ones and twos on a scale of ten. His victory wasa soulless, joyless, boring failure in aesthetics as Mark completely missed the spirit and elan of Jell-Owrestling. Still, as I nurse my bruised arm and stiff and very sore neck, I regret I must announce to myloyal fans and admirers that I am retiring from Jell-O wrestling to take up the raw thrill of man-eatinghamster hunting. lacrosse club, hampered by a lack of funds, needs to hire "a real coach."

Western's record nowis 6-3. Women's lacrosse ends 2-6 By Kris Franich After Western's women's lacrosse team lost 10-2to the Seattle Lacrosse Club Sunday, Coach Jill Johnson ctialKed another learning experience to therecord. The women finished their season with a 2-6 league record in the Pacific Northwest Women'sLacrosse Association, though the women will play in a tournament this weekend in Davis, Calif. Aselection of players from the West Coast will be chosen for the Olympic trials after the tournament.Western's only goals came in the first half from Jennie Williamson, who plays one of the mainoffensive positions for the team (second home). Her first score was from 10 feet out and her second wasfrom about 15 feet. While Western scored twice in the first half, Seattle scored eight times."Our^defense wasn't verygodd in the first half, but we held them to only two goals in the second half,"Johnson said. Johnson credited Mary Manix for playing a good defensive game. Manix plays either third man (located in the middle of the field behind the center) or cover point (which is one back from the thrid man). "Williamson also played a good defensive game," Johnson said. "Seattle is a much moreexperienced team than we are. They're like our big sister," she said.

Onehomosexual said, "I think gays will remain more cautious from now on. Just because a vaccine maybe developed, doesn't mean something else won't come along." Some of the precautions these menhave been taking are not being promiscuous, knowing a lot about their partners, avoiding transmission of bodily fluids, and using condoms when engaging in anal sex, they said. One homosexual said, "Analintercourse is like having the disease shot right into the blood stream. A condom can help to preventthis, but gay men have really cut down as far as having sex goes." When AIDS became more common,many people assumed every homosexual was infected. "Everyone who knew my sexual preferenceimmediately assumed I had it. There was a kind of panic in the gay community; many boughtcondoms or abstained from sex altogether," one man said. The two research teams, one from theNational Institutes of Health in Maryland and one from the Pasteur Institute of Paris, have isolated thevirus which attacks the body's immune system. This discovery will provide the first step to solving thedisease that has been a mystery killer for three years. New Scientist magazine reported in their April 19 issue, "AIDS occurs mostly among promiscuous homosexuals, Haitians, hemophiliacs and drugaddicts. It is clear that it is infectious, passed on through contact with infected blood." Discovering the virus doesn't cure the disease, but it is the first step in making it extinct. The short range benefit is thata blood screening test can be developed to test blood used for transfusions. This should beincorporated into the blood banks' process within six months. Forty-three percent of all AIDS victimsdie within a year of diagnosis and no one is known to have recovered.

ThePort of Chicago was targeted for a demonstration by the coalition of anti-intervention, anti-nuclearweapons and peace organizations for a protest demonstration because it's a nuclear weapons storagesite, as well as the embarkation point for 70 to 80 percent of Central America-bound U.S. weapons andammunition, said the campaign coordinator Sandra Swan. Wayne Iverson, budget director for thecampus chapter of the Committee In Solidarity with the People of El Salvador, said he believes aBellingham woman is among the 28 people arrested and charged with blocking a public roadway andtrespassing. Contra Costa jail officials in Martinis County, Calif., couldn't verify the identities of thosearrested because each of the protesters gave their names as John Doe. Sgt. Funk of Contra Costasaid all those arrested were released Thursday afternoon. The Port of Chicago campaign, which included a peaceful rally of about 5,000 people in addition to the blockade, was an attempt to stop armsshipments to El Salvador, protest the development and storage of nuclear weapons, and changegovernment priorities from arms build-up to human services, according to Swan. An important armsshipment port during the Vietnam war, the Port of Chicago was the site of numerous anti-wardemonstrations during the '60s and 70s. The protest was slated for July 24 and 25 to coincide with the July 21 deadline for U.S. President Ronald Reagan's certification that human rights and socialconditions in general are being improved by the Salvadoran government. Iverson, who accusedReagan of waging a "disinformation campaign" concerning Central America, called the President'slatest press conference "more of the same." He said locally, as well as nationally, CISPES has had adifficult time countering the President's ambiguity as the major news media wire services are highly influenced by the administration. Dan Shaw, city editor of the Bellingham Herald, who called CISPES a very leftist organization, said the Hera Id attempted to stay on middle ground on the polarized issueof Central America by avoiding organizations which represent one extreme or another. Iverson saidWestern CISPES plans to be very active in the fall. By CAROLYN CASEY Western regained itsstanding in the Washington Student Lobby last week when Western student Darcy Roenfeldt wasselected as the state chairperson for that organization. WSL was formed in the spring of 1982 inreaction to massive budget cuts. All of the schools raised funds to organize a permanent office inOlympia and hire a lobbyist. The group monitors legislative action and mobilizes student groups forprotests and rallies in Olympia. WSL representatives met and selected their leader for next year'sdueling with legislators in Olympia. Roenfeldt said she thought it was good that Western occupies thetop position in the lobby. "Western has done a lot for the organization in terms of building spirit," shesaid. "We have the largest local chapter and we have more people we can call on if we need help."Washington State University was given the vice chairmanship, Evergreen got the secretary's position and the University of Washington has the at-large position. Central didn't get a position. "They (Central)seem to have a harder time, perhaps because they don't have a formal structure at their school,"Roenfeldt said. Roenfeldt has been active in . WSL since its beginning in 1982. She was selected to beon the state board as an at-large representative and as Western's chairperson. She said WSL will berestructured next fall with the ousting of the organization's executive director and the possible removal of WSL's lobbyist. "I know it seems like that will create confusion, but I think it would do more harmkeeping someone who didn't get along with our friends in the Legislature," Roenfeldt said. She saidthis year's selection process for state WSL leaders was mild compared to last year's suspicions. Last year's selection process was surrounded by rumors of a conspiracy when past chairperson MarkMurphy lost his position and the research universities, UW and Washington State, joined hands topreserve their institutions. Murphy was reported as saying the past election was run by "essentially adeal." Roenfeldt termed UWs role last year as "the bullies; they ganged up on everyone to get extramoney for the UW." This year's election was a smoother process, with politics between schools beingde-emphasized, she said. "A lot of the combative elements are gone now. Our new group of officersare going to work together instead of fighting with each other," Roenfeldt said. Roenfeldt said she looksforward to a new year with increased cooperation between the universities and an elimination oftheir in-house battles. "I think we will be able to get along better next year and get a lot accomplished." ---------- Western Front - 1983 August 2 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, August 2, 1983 Kings dream remembered by marchers By DEANNA SHAWOn August 27th, 1963, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gathered together some 200,000demonstrators at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C. to demand better jobs and an extensive civilrights law. Images of Mahatma Ghandi were recalled as King used the weapons of nonviolent civildisobedience in pursuit of his goals of racial equality and basic human rights. Millions of Americans watched and listenedâ€”and were moved as they heard a multitude of voices singing as one, "Weshall overcome." And few who saw the event will ever forget the impact made by King's eloquentspeech, "I have a dream. Next month, in commemoration of the anniversary of the historic event,the March on Washington will be repeated. Two Bellingham women, Robin Alice, a theatre/dance majorat Western, and Trina Forest, who will be a Western student this fall, have been named as Bellinghamdelegates to the March. At least 50,000 people are expected to attend the three-day event, which willprotest the proliferation of nuclear arms and seek support for jobs and job training, human rights,women's rights and restoration of funding for social programs. Although Forest says at first glance thegoals appear diverse, they really are intertwined because defense spending on nuclear arms affects each one. That money could be better spent on the development of peaceful technology and energy, job train- Trina Forest and Robin Alice will represent Bellingham at a Washington D.C. march commemorating Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr./s historic demonstration. ing and refunding of programs for the disadvantaged shesaid. "What they (the marchers) want to do is enforce the legislation in both American and foreignpolicies, the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States," Forest explained. "The crux of it is, we're off the path," she said of our collective failure to safeguard thebasic human rights embodied in these documents and in more recent legislation. "What we want is notto create new legislation, but for people in power to stop ignoring the existing legislation." Forest firstlearned of the March through a publication of the National Organization of Women, and, after a number of phone calls, she and Alice located the Puget Sound steering committee for the March in Seattle.The "August 27th Committee," as it is called, appointed them as delegates for the March from Bel-Photo by Shaun McClurken lingham. They also will choose four delegates from Seattle and others fromother communities in western Washington. Although delegates from every state are being appointed toattend, Forest stressed that the March is open to everyone. She hopes others from the Bellinghamarea are willing to participate. Alice says that for her, the march on Washington D.C. is a chance toactively participate and become involved in issues rather than merely philosophize about them. She first became aware of the plight of the poor and under-priveleged in America through a slide lecture,"American Pictures," presented at Western last winter. The graphic program, which depicted thepoverty in America's deep south, made her realize that "working at having the white part of our cultureeducated to the poor conditions (some Americans live under)" was very important to her. "I guess it'scalled taking responsibilityâ€”that's what it is," she said of her decision to attend the March. Sympathymarches in at least 89 major cities across the country are planned to coincide with the Washington,D.C. march. In Seattle, marchers will assemble at the corner of 23rd and Cherry Streets at 12 noon on the 27th and follow a route to the Seattle Center where a rally will take place. The national event issupported by a great number of major groups including the National Council of Churches, the UnitedStates Student Association, the National Education Association, the National Association for theAdvancement of Colored People, the American Indian Movement, and the National Organization forWomen. The national steering commit-, tee for the march is headed by King's widow, Coretta King. It isthe hope of the committee that the March also will aid passage of legislation designating the birthdayof Dr. Martin Luther King as a national holiday. Music workshop begins tomorrow By MARGARETCARLSON The Twelfth Rolland International String and Piano Workshop will bring some of the world's most talented musicians to West-em for an intensive study for music teachers and a series of concertsfor the public. This is the first time that the workshop has been held in the U.S. It begins tomorrow andruns through Aug. 16. Paul Rolland was well-known for his theories on the art of teaching string music,said Pris-cilla Sabin, of the University Conference Center. "He was one of the top authorities instring," she said. After his death Rolland's wife, Clara, established the workshops to carry on his work.Clara Rolland chose Bellingham for this year's workshop partly because she was impressed withWestern's music facilities and partly because she liked the environment, Sabin sajd. The workshop isdesigned for music teachers and musicians at the graduate level, Sabin said. Participants from all overthe U.S. and 10 from Japan will be staying in university residences. Many of the guest artists are part of a series of concerts open to the public. Tickets are $4 for one concert or $30 for the eight-concertseries. Tickets can be purchased at Claire Rolland's office, or at the door. All concerts , will be at 8 p.m. in the PAC concert hall unless noted.

Spending the daydriving to, in and around these cozy metropoli is a course in local history and country living. Twelvemiles north of Bel-lingham, just off Guide Meridan, is the county's second-largest town, Lynden. Richwith Dutch culture and an overwhelming number of churches, this community of about 4,000 is firmlycommitted to the clean life. Liquor is taboo and dancing when alcohol is present is prohibited, thanksto a city ordinance. Sunrise to sunset, farming is the order of life. When in Lynden, be sure to stop inthe Pioneer Museum to catch up on the town's history. It's open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily and islocated on Front Street. Also a must is the Dutch Bakery, offering old-world pastry and excellent prices(four cinnamon rolls for a dollar). Lynden is the site of the Northwest Washington Fair. Coming upAugust 16-20, the fair is a sure bet to attract big-name country musicians and the finest livestock in thispart of the country. A half-dozen miles from Lynden, in the heart of the Nook-sack Valley, is the town ofEver-son. Named in 1871 for the first white settler in the area, Ever Everson, this little town is located on the old Mount Baker, Milwaukee St. Paul Railway line. Driving down the main road of this hamlet,visitors should not be surprised to see tractors or combines blocking traffic on the way through thevalley. Winding past Everson, the highway is flanked by corn fields and cow pastures. U-pick standsalongside the roadway wait for customers to harvest the berries. Next town on the tour is Dem-ing.Located near the fork in the Nooksack River, Deming was named for the first postmaster in the area,George Deming, in 1899. A beautiful view of Mount Baker greets travelers and Deming isthe home of thealmost famous Mount Baker Vineyards. Tours of the vineyards are offered daily.

With the election of n ew officers last week, the Washington Student Lobby has an opportunity to rid itself of the factionalism and in-house bickering that has plagued the fledgling organization. TheWSL has floundered its first two years attempting to outline its aims and make an impression in Olympia. Sadly the impression the group presents is of schools bent on their own preservation, rather than stateeducation as a whole. The group has been labeled "selfish" by some legislators, naive by others. Andwith its members spending more energy battling each other with power plays than lobbying state officials, how can we expect Olympia to take the WSL seriously as any kind of representation of studentsolidarity? Western student Darcy Roenfeldt, the new WSL chairperson, said she sees the election asan elimination of the "combatitive elements" in the organization, particularly the University of Washington"bullies." While the UW certainly abused its power in the WSL to p u s h its own programs, it is hopedthe powers-to-be won't construct a new faction. Roenfeldt called the action between the WSL and thelegislators "a little game." The future of higher education in Washington is no game, and the WSL owesthe students who have supported the lobby a concerted attempt to stabilize the organization and seekcooperation among the colleges and universities. Harassing Nicaragua Both sides lose The U.S. Navyhas deployed a new and dangerous technique in Nicaragua this week â€” harassment. "Harassment"is the official label for the practices of chasing, tracking and ultimately provoking Nicaraguan forces into attacking an American vessel. President Reagan seems to be pushing the U.S. into "military conflict"(that's war foryou non-bureaucrats). Last week he sent two aircraft carrier battle groups, about 20 vessels, to play their games off the Pacific and Caribbean coasts of Nicaragua. One White House official wasreported as saying the forces will "follow them (Nicaraguan ships and planes), shadow them and perhapseven harass them a little bit without violence, just so they know we are around and that we can do it."Not by coincidence did Reagan schedule these 'war games" (perhaps the biggest contradiction in termsextant) to take place just outside this country surging with unrest. The lastest policy of playing "chicken"with bombers â€” and, more importantly, lives â€” more absurdly illogical and reprehensible than theoriginal game of high school boys aiming their cars at each other. One side will weaken and an American will get shot. This will give Reagan his excuse to attack the Nicaraguans. While he may call them "non-aggressive war games," chances are both sides will come out losers.

It seems to me that the ovum inside the woman's body is living and ready to reproduce, so lifedoesn't so much as begin as it simply is. Nevertheless, I believe in free choice because I don't thinkanyone has the right to force private valueson anyone else. Why tell someone they must have a baby,when they'll only mistreat themselves or the baby? Is it fair to a child to be born to an unsympatheticparent or to be deformed because the parent has been abusing drugs? What about the woman who hasanother child to qualify for more welfare money? She doesn't really care about the kids. (Is she really amother?) People always say unwanted children can be put up for adoption, but not every child everleaves a foster home. The older the child, the less likely it is to be adopted. My younger brother andsister, Adam and Tami, were adopted and I saw the adjustment prob- Vicki Siggs, Production Manager lems they had at the age ofthree and twoâ€”especially at age three. Originally part of a three-childfamily, Adam and Tami had an older sister and all three were in a foster home together. The oldest girl,mistreated by her original parents, tried to kill Tami several times. The foster parents often would find bite and bruise marks â€¢on Tami'sbody. Because the original mother was "not ready to have kids," theolder girl was thrown into a wall once during a parent's rage. The child ended up going to a mentalhospital and was released and adopted two years ago. During the first year with our family, Adamregressed. At first he would ask where Jimmy, his former foster brother, was. Later, whenever Jimmy'sname was mentioned, he would say that this was his babysitter. In adjusting to his new life Adam alsowent from not wetting the bed back to wetting his bed. At first Tami and Adam would follow each otherfrom room to room. If Tami left the room, Adam always would ask where she went. They have sinceadjusted nicely. Granted, not all children have problems like theseâ€”some are worseâ€”but others arescarred permanently by past experiences. Responsible adults must think about what's right for them and their children individually. Who can presume to tell another what to do in an abortion case? Each of uscan say only what's right for herself. Is it for me to say that my life is so together that this is how yoursshould be too? I'm not God and neither are you. God hated sin, but the choice is Man's in all things. Ican't believe in abortion for myself because I couldn't live with myself knowing what I had done. Couldyou? Queer bashing Who is social menace? I recently found out that my old stomping ground (Seattle's Broadway district) is now the field for a new sport: queer bashing. It's not really a new sport; rather aseasonal sport that's more active than ever this year. Most of the players are middle-class neighborhoodyouths. They roam the streets or hang out in video arcades, waiting for a supposedly gay man to walkby. When they spot a victim they yell insults at him, chase him and then beat him up. The worst attackof the six reported in the past month occured about a month ago when a young man was jumped by agang carrying clubs' and a crowbar. A police report stated the man suffered crushed ligaments, welts,lacerations on his face and body and was raped by a' crowbar. Margaret Carlson, Head Copy EditorWhat is going through the minds of these teenagers to provoke them to bludgeon another human? Dothey consider homosexuals non-humans just because they don't have "normal" sex values? Maybethey think gays are a menace to society. But aren't the insolent teenagers, who physically andpsychologically abuse others, the real menace? Homosexuals have rights, both as citizens and ashumans. One of these rights is the privilege to walk down the street without being attacked for sexualpreference. America is billed as the "free" country where individuals are able to have their own morals as long as they don't threaten or endanger other citizens and their rights. Gay men and women havesexual preferences different from the majority but they don't beat up people who don't share theirpreference. They accept the fact that most people in our country don't feel the same way they do andthey generally respect all other views. It's quite obvious who's right and who's wrong in the "sport" ofqueer bashing. But people need to learn that no right and wrong exist when it comes to sexualpreference. Afterall, preferences involve choice. Next time I'm home for a visit, if I take a walk for icecream some night I think I'll take a baseball bat with me in case a gang of queer bashers mistakes mefor one of "them." ---------- Western Front - 1983 August 2 - Page 5 ---------- Western Front 5 Tuesday, August 2, 1983 Lottery; questions persist Letters State lottery organizerswere told they were taking quite a gamble trying to establish their chancey enterprise in Washington,where such a large number of erudite folk reside. One year and $66 million later, lottery officials haveconcluded the well-educated are actually, more tempted to play with fate than those schooled merely in common sense. Profitability of the lottery is no longer a question, but the debate continues over theappropriateness of government-sponsored gambling. The discussion is healthy, as it continues toremind us the first priority of the state must be the public welfare and not profit-turning. It seems thelottery has been a positive . thing for Washington, Margie Haight, Production Manager despite fears itmight be the beginning of the moral demise of our wholesome Northwest innocence. Speculation bylottery opposition that the poor would simply get poorer appears unfounded.

Outside of a few general similarities there was nothingremotely close to a description of the Birch Bay I've lived in and loved for forty-five years. I can't imaginewhere Mr. Huddleston spent that dreary day among the profit mongers on the sulphur mudflats. I thinkhe's the victim of a monstrous hoax ...transported by alien beings through a weird space warp, perhaps? You see, the Birch Bay I know is a far different place than that described by your Mr. Huddleston.The Birch Bay where I live does allow Canadians I'm afraid and just like Bellingham is happy to accepttheir "funny" money. The Birch Bay I know begins at the south with Point Whitehorn, which provides abreathtaking panoramic view of t he sound and islands. Next is some nice beach homes with privatebeaches; a few with pools. Continuing on you'll find some tidy mobile home parks and sites behindgreen belts. Next comes one of the most beautiful and best maintained state parks in Washington,with campsites, hiking and nature' trails, beaches with good clamming and crabbing. Through the yearsI've seen the Bay gradually changing from a h o d g e p o d g e of c l a p b o a rd clammer's shackstowards a planned recreation community. The upgrading continues. The quality continues to improve.There's more to be done and being done with new construction, rebuilding the golf course, newmarinas, etc. I won't venture to guess what Mr. Huddleston has against profit. But, there is something he should try to understand. When one employs people a day's work is expected for a day's pay andwhen one employs capital there must be a yield or gain; otherwise the system breaks down. Easternbloc countries still are struggling with this concept as they try to feed their people and continue lookingto us for grain. Mr. Huddleston's commentary" reminds me of the old one about three blind mendescribing an elephant and I can't help but wonder which part of the beast's anatomy he grasped. I'veseen the elephant and it ain't half bad. If Mr. Huddleston continues in .â€¢journalism when he gets outinto the real world and works on a paper that has to show a profit, perhaps he'll see the elephant too.COME TO BIRCH BAY.

The renewal of Western's land use permit is in jeopardy while Western and theForest Service debate the cabin's condition and its environmental impact. The university-owned cabin islocated at the 4,700 foot level on the north face of Mount Baker. Arriving at Kulshan from Bel-linghaminvolves an hour's drive east on the Mount Baker Highway, another eight miles up to the 3,300-foot levelon the muddy and pitted Glacier Creek Road, and, for the novice, an arduous two-and-a-half- mile hikealong switchbacks and across swollen streams. The area is so well-traveled, however, that Western'stoehold in the wilderness is at best highly impacted. Of course Kulshan Cabin is no posh resort. Even inAugust the temperature is cool, with slow physical activity requiring wool clothing and often rain gear.Sometimes the temperature outside the cabin is warmer than inside. Patches of snow can be seenfrom the cabin, and the area is shadowed by trees, glaciers and ridges. Snowfields, the Coleman andRoosevelt Glaciers and the mountain summit can be climbed to from the cabin in fair conditions in less thana day. Logistical and political concerns also help categorize the cabin from outside the resortclassification. The outhouse was destroyed by an avalanche in the winter of 1982 and hasn't beenreconstucted. The cabin is without a fireplace or chimney and the foundation, supports and cedar shakeroof need repair. Heavy foot traffic makes the surrounding ground muddy and sloppy. Because KulshanCabin belongs to Western through a special use permit granted by the U.S. Forest Service, theseproblems are critical. The use permit expires in December 1983 and provisions in the land lease requirethat Western repair the cabin, build an outhouse and maintain the trail. Bis.*" :!'' *Â»? "*â„¢ m- ^SM(AijjlÂ§l p Heavy traffic through Kulshan Cabin makes a muddy moat around the "castle." . . . the problemat Kulshan is not hinged on the FS setting up political roadblocks, but Westerns inability orunwillingness to spend money on the cabin. Gregg Sheheen, Western student and the cabin's caretakerthe last two years, fears that because of these problems, Western may not be given the lease afterDecember. "There are some who think the solution to its problems is to torch the cabin," Sheheensaid, "I think that would be a real shame." The most crucial problem at the cabin is building a newouthouse, and political roadblocks have prevented its constuction. Gregg Sheheen, cabin caretaker,playing alpine chef at 4700 feet. Associated Students Advisor Jim Schuster explained what Western has tried to do so far. Sheheen, together with Huxley student Guy Roberts, has looked at three outhousesite's. Western wants an inexpensive, environmentally safe waste disposal system, Schuster said.The Forest Service wants a more expensive system, he said. One Forest Service proposal is to inserta vault into the rocky mountain, requiring blasting and periodic emptying by helicopter lift. "That is justcompletely out of our range," Schuster said. "It seems like everyting we try to do is rejected by the FS,"Sheheen said. "We got a Huxley student (Roberts) out here to do perc tests. Then we find a couple ofgood sites. The FS says, 'no, that's not acceptable.' But what they want us to do is impossible."Schuster said the Forest Service is trying to make Western completely responsible for a problem thatshould be shouldered by the national agency. "The area is popular enough without the cabin," Schustersaid. "If we no longer had the cabin, there would still be a solid waste problem." Tom Highberger,recreation assistant for the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, said the problem at Kulshan is not hinged on the Forest Service setting up political roadblocks, but Western's inability or unwillingness to spend money on the cabin. Highberger said the Forest Service, in granting the land use permit, allowsWestern a privilege the general public does not enjoy. In return, the federal agency wants to see thepublic lands not only maintained but upgraded. The Forest Service does not contend that Western has been negligent in fulfilling its obligations under the current special use permit, "but they've just donethe bottom line," Highberger said. "We (the Forest Service) would like to see"the cabin managed at ahigher level." Highberger said the basis of the problem at Kulshan is heavy use. Though removed fromthe city, the cabin is often crowded, especially on the weekends. In the 1982 caretaker's report,Sheheen reported more than 200 people visit the cabin on a typical weekend, and the holidays mightbring more than 500 climbers and hikers through the area. Sheheen's job, as a result, becomes one ofadvisor, meteorologist and travel agent. "The university provides a service," he said. "I talk to peopleabout the area, tell them the name of landmarks, try to make their experience a positive one." When all18 upstairs bunks are occupied, the two-story, approximately 1000- square foot cabin is crowded withpacks, ice axes, ropes and other gear. Though many visitors are climbers seeking refuge from theelements they usually weather, others are hikers who walk up the trail and go no further. As a politicalscience major serving on the AS Board, as well as a mountaineer, Sheheen understands thejuxtaposition of his job. "The people who come up here, even in Nike running shoes for the day, want toget away from responsibility. When I have to play cop, first I make a suggestion. Then I make astatement. Coming dowa on someone is a last resort." The rules at 4,700 feet are basic. Toilet paperand feces are burned. Garbage is packed out. Rattling gear at 5 a.m. receives sometimes crudeadmonishment from the caretaker's bunk. The environment lends itself to loose regulation. It is easy tobe quiet and unim-posing when surrounded by immense glacial ice, chunky moraine and animpressive silence. By the time a climber makes it back to the high camp or the cabin, he is spent.Most have grown used to little conversation and dejisions made independently. But the cabin is acastle through the eyes of a tired climber. ---------- Western Front - 1983 August 2 - Page 7 ---------- Western Front 7 Tuesday, August 2, 1983 Flight blends wonder, excitement Story and photos by ShaunMcClurken Pre-flight checkout, radio alert and visual sky scan all were clear. Ken Brock, poised at the controls of a Cessna 150 light plane at the head of runway one-si Bel-lingham International Airport,opened his plane's throttle and steered into the wind. Accelerating determinedly, the red-and-white craftswept down the runway and surged into the clear afternoon sky. Once clear of the airport and itssurrounding trees, Brock turned to his passenger and shouted over the engine's rattle/ roar, "Howdo you feel?" His passenger, through an immenslyfoolish grin, shouted back, "I feel like a kid!" KenBrock, 22-year-old Western student readying for a psychology degree â€” possibly art history, too â€”needs small excuse to go up. He says, of course, "It's great. There's not much better than flying." Sitting in his apartment's kitchen, Ken declines to explain his interest â€” "it's just one of those things" â€” butdoes mention his maternal grandfather. "He built and flew his own biplanes. He died when I was veryyoung. I really don't know much about him; neither does my mom." He points to a mounted photo. Theenlargement depicts a dashing Clark Gable-ish figure in vintage flying gear, astride a '30s-era biplane. The romance of the air is not dead. The day of the flight, Ken signed in at Cascade Flight and led the way to the little plane lashed to the tarmac outside. He went over the ship's exterior (are all bolts and strutstight?), pulled fuel samples from the wing tanks (any water or particles present?) and checked theengine, an air-cooled, horizontally opposed four-cylinder of 100 horsepower, driving a blunt, two-bladedpropeller about six feet in diameter. Inside, he tested control surfaces for function and calibrated thecompass and altimeter. Lap and shoulder belts were secured. He pointed out the various instruments,explaining they ran off atmospheric pressure plus some electrical gyroscopes. (Despite the elaborateroutines and safeguards, a pilot will tell you the most dangerous thing he does when he goes up isdrive to and from the airport.) Ken primed the engine, looked all around for anyone too near, yelled"Clear!" out his open window, and switched on. The engine coughed and the propeller became a blur.The plane began to shift and buck gently against its set brakes. "OK, let's get the hell out of here," Kensaid, and took our own plane's microphone. "Bellingham Radio, this is Cessna November-six-three-five-three-one, taking off on runway one-six." D The well-planned Ellis-Lakeway-Holly- Indian-Potter-Magnolia intersection is much more pleasant to look at from afar than to negotiate. AIRBORNE Over BellinghamBay (thick with gravy-colored silt) and still climbing, we banked lazily to the right and headed southwesttowards the San Juan Islands. Sunlight sequined the waves below, highlighting the occasional sailboat,and Bellingham receded behind. Predictably, you don't appear to move very fast with no reference pointsnearby, though the 150's cruise speed is listed as 110 miles per hour (at which it gets 20 miles to thegallon.) Seeing the camera out and ready, Ken said, "If you see something you want to take a picture of, just tell me, and I'll do this." He rolled the plane over on its right-hand wing. The pebbled surface of theStrait of Georgia slid up to fill the passenger window. Dryly: "OK." Even keel again. Ken produced amap, orienting it to the plane's course. "See this?" he said, pointing first at the map and then outthrough the prop. "This is where we're going." He was indicating Orcas Island Airport, at East Sound onOrcas Island. He continued, "I know a couple of good places to eat down there." He and a girlfriend had spent many days walking round the island after the 15-minute air hop. "Flying is a great date," heconceded laughingly. After an aerial circuit of the town, Ken began an approach for a demonstrationlanding, paralleling the runway a half-mile on its right, ending the swoop with two 90-degree turns to place us over the end of the strip. With the wind at our tail, the plane was handling mushily, with too muchspeed and not enough lift. Ken wrestled uncomfortably to within eight feet of the ground, then, "Hell, I'll go around again." He opened the throttle and we struggled out of the approach. Even Bellingham,Wash, becomes interesting from 2,000 feet in the air. The homely little features drop away and thetrees, streets, roofs, yards and the rest become abstract patterns seen, startlingly, from above. After along, low loop, and now understanding the circumstances, heJbrought us in lower, slewing the tail side-to-side to drop speed and altitude on the final Turning tail on the San Juan Islands, the little Cessna 150now bears its two passengers towards Bellingham and home. approach. We grounded with a bumpand glided to the far end of the runway, turning for the takeoff. Takeoffwas much more satisfactory,biting now into a headwind. Plane and pilot surged away from East Sound with a vengeance.Sightseeing over the minor islands to 'the southwest, we passed over the Ana-cortes ferry. Ken waggledthe wings deeply, and watched the pasengers on deck wave in return. We wanted to wind up our dayover Bellingham, to allow me to look with unfamil-iarity at the familiar. Enroute, the islands not quitebehind us, Ken confided, "You know, looking out this windshield reminds me of watching TV, and theside windows are really the same. The only time I feel like I'm really flying is when I look back and seethat tail out there." â€¢ Even Bellingham, Wash, becomes interesting from 2,000 feet in the air. Thehomely little details drop away and the trees, streets, roofs, yards and the rest become abstract patterns seen, startlingly, from above. Circling Sehome Hill to get pictures of Western's campus, Ken said, "Iwonder how this looks to the people on the ground. I know it seems like we're doing this in no time at all, but down there it seems like every few minutes, a plane flies over. You lose all sense of time in the air."Got enough?" Nod; "Let's take it home." â€¢ The wind had shifted while we'd been out, and we werenow to land on runway three-four â€” which was runway one-six traveled in the opposite direction. Our "J" approach dog-leg took us over a landmark salmon-shaped swimming pool somewhere in the Eldridgearea. On 1-5 back into Bellingham, Ken's yellow Beetle, paralyzed on the driver's side by a parking lothit-and-run, ripped along at the speed limit, the apparent altitude about four feet. A school bus sweptdown an on-ramp and filled the field of vision on the passenger side. Everything around seemed closeand chaotic, and the noise and low-frequency vibration aboard the plane had left a headache behind."Yeah, it's always kind of a let-down," Ken allowed. "You're going along and you think: Alright, 60; takeoff speed. Here we go ---------- Western Front - 1983 August 2 - Page 8 ---------- 8 Western Front Tuesday, August 2, 1983 Holy bat cave, boy wonder!! Spelunkers probe local cavernStory and photos by Don Huddleston Hitching up my sweaty army pants and taking a deep breath, Ilowered myself' into the dark cave. My feet fumbled for solid support as my eyes grew accustomed tothe dim light. To my right, a plastic jug hung suspended from the rock wall. Bolted above the jug was a sign that made the arrival official. "Senger's Talus Caves." I glanced at my hiking partner, Brad Killion,25, a fellow Western student, and grinned. We had made it to the "bat caves." The floor of the mainentrance consisted of jagged, mildewed rock. We were in an opening easily 30-feet high, 15-feet wideand only time would tell how many feet deep. My back tingled as the sweat from our hike to the cavedried in the cold air. "You're steaming," Killion said. And indeed I was. The temperature of the cave gave no indication of the hot summer day outside the stone fortress. We sat down on a clammyoutcropping and ate a Snickers bar. Ahead of us, dark and somehow evil, an inner entrance waited for our next move. Brad and I had heard strange stories about the "bat caves" some months beforecuriosity ~~ and a rare free weekend got the better of us. Suspecting a coming physical challenge, Iimmediately went onto my normal training routine: a strict diet of lasagne, burgers and anoccasional one-half mile hike down to Albertson's for a pack of cigarettes. Our plan slowly took shape as we mulled over the dangers of the expedition while subjecting ourselves to strenuous workouts onthe dreaded pool table and uncompromising lawn chairs. Finally, in a moment of true inspiration, Bradlooked foggily up from his empty glass and in his finest "Rocky" voice slurred the immortal words, "Gofor it." The journey to the "bat caves" on Chuckanut Mountain is not that difficult. The two of us, bothnovice hikers,made the trek with no major problems. To get to the caves from Bel-lingham, drive southon Chuckanut Drive, the journey begins across the road from the Oyster Bar restaurant. The beginning of the hike is a private driveway so respect the property. Beyond the driveway a road continues into thewoods. About one-half mile up the road is an old abandoned truck, across from the truck is thetrailhead. The trail winds its way up the hillside, through huge stands of ferns and back and forth over asmall creek. The climb is steep in parts and we had to catch our breath more than once. We continuedup the trail, keeping an eye out for a blue ribbon that marks the cave turn-off. There was no blue ribbon in sight, but playing a hunch we found the trail off to our left and in five minutes the rock slide thatcontains the caves was in sight. The turn-off now is marked with a blue ribbon, which we foundplenty of farther up the main trail. The hike to the caves was completed in less than two hours. Theactual cave entrance is to the right as you enter the slide area. It takes a little hunting and pecking, butwhen your flashlight hits the huge opening, you'll know it. The sign in the cave recommends at least three people to a spelunking (cave exploring) party and three kinds of light: flashlight, matches andcandles. Caves are very wet and very cold, so warm, heavy clothing helps no matter how hot it seemsoutside. Looming over the caves is little Mount Blanchard, more of a cliff than a mountain butimpressive nevertheless. To the right of this barren bluff is a steep but climbable trail. Once on top,Mount Blanchard offers a panoramic view of the San Juan islands ana part ot Skagit Valley. Here you'llfind a good place to pitch a tent out of the wind and plendy of dry fire wood. It's a sunset watcher'sparadise. Decked out in coats and lightweight work gloves, Brad and I lowered ourselves into the murkydepths and signed into the logbook. According to the log, bats had not been seen for a few months.Many entries told of routes taken and gave names to rooms in the caves; the "Gol-lum" room and theskunk room. We found three distinct entrances to the caves from the main grotto. One was in the floorand went straight down. Brad went right for it and disappeared. Following Brad with the strongest ofthe flashlights, I was soon entranced by the maze of cold, mysterious rock. Once you resign yourself to getting muddy and wet, the caves offer endless challenge and excitement. As soon as you round thefirst corner you are in another world. Nothing looks the same coming out as going in. String is a goodway to mark your trail. Spenger's Talus Caves are full of nooks and crevices that open up into hugecaverns. Plenty of squeezing and squirming is required, but in the end it is an unforgettable experience.PPPPP

Vol. 76, No. 32 WSL hopes third time's the charm for stalled elections By DonJenkins The Washington Student Lobby finally will have elections, after canceling them twice "WSL has a lot of flexibility," said Darcy Roenfeldt, a local board member and state chairwoman of the two-year-old student organization that lobbies the Legislature. The elections will be tomorrow, and filingclosed yesterday. Originally, the elections were scheduled for May 4, but when only one candidate filedfor the four elected board positions, the elections were postponed until May 11. But by Thursday, May10, still only three candidates had filed for the four positions. At that time Roenfeldt told the Front theelections were canceled, and the people who had filed would attend the WSL state meeting inEllensburg that weekend. Local chairwoman Tina Abbott, who was in New Jersey when the electionswere canceled, said WSL should have had the elections anyway. "That was a decision she didwithout consulting anyone," Abbott said of Rpenfeldt's decision to cancel the election. Board members need to have the approval from the students, she said, "whether two or 2,000" candidates file. Anotherboard member, Dave McFadden, said he thought it was a good idea to cancel the original electionsbecause not enough candidates had filed. The WSL met again last Thursday and decided to go ahead with the elections. Roenfeldt said she thought WSL needed "a family meeting" to sort out theconfusion. The elections will take place 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. tomorrow somewhere in the Viking Union,where exactly had not been set by yesterday afternoon. The deadline for filing was yesterday at 5 p.m. Although the elections would be similar convention format, nominations will not be accepted from thefloor, Abbott said. Filing was necessary, Abbott said, to provide organization to the elections. Also, sheadded, candidates could be informed about what the positions entail. Tomorrow evening candidates willspeak and^anjjwer questions before the balloting. WSL board positions are voluntary and in the pastthe job descriptions have been fuzzy. The WSL board also decided to make all six of the local boardpositions elected, instead of just four. In the past, four people have been electedÂ» and they appoint the other two board members, who are the local at-large representatives. The local board will attend a state meeting in June, where state officers are chosen. Shortly before the filing deadline yesterday, fivepeople had filed. The position of local projects coordinator was still uncontested. The candidates are: Khodi Kaviani, local advertising and publications; Sheryl Alston, state minority representative; YvonneWard, state at-large; George Sidles, local at-large; and Gary Garrett, local at-large. Two candidates whohad filed earlier, Eric Clem and Clark Sitzes, have dropped out. Roenfeldt said she thought WSL'sflexibility was "definitely" an asset to the organization. WSL can try to be efficient, she said, withoutbecoming bogged down in bureaucratic tangles. Kevin Pool, Washington state's first robotics major,demonstrates Hero's ability to hold a cup of coffee.

Windows inESlab sealedup By Andy Perdue A Physical Plant employee said he thinks he has located and solved the fiberglassfumes problem in the Environmental Studies Center. Last Wednesday geology students on thesecond floor complained of smelling fiberglass fumes coming from the Vehicle Research Institute onthe ground floor of the Environmental Studies building. Larry Johnson, the mechanical engineer whohas been working on the problem since it appeared in February, said he thinks open windows on thesouth side of the building are the source of the fumes. Those windows are directly above thefiberglassing room. "Those windows are going to be sealed," Johnson said. "It should help everyone inthe building." Johnson said he thinks the problem is cured, but still can't figure out how the fumesescaped through the closed doors of the fiberglassing room. â€¢ See SEALED, page 3 YesterdayHackett sent a letter to Western Controller Don Stur-gill inquiring into the sale. Sturgill said biologychairman Ronald Taylor requested that the department be able to dispose of the microscopes. Sturgillsaid he assumed he had received permission from the state. "I assumed it (the sale) had .beenprocessed, but it had not been," Sturgill said. Sturgill explained that Western receives permission tosell items directly when the expense of selling them through the state would be greater than their worth. The biology department netted $3,400 from the private sale of 95 microscopes to students, rather thandisposing of them through state channels, "This is something the university should encourage; I know they won't in most cases," Taylor said. In most cases, surplus equipment is sent to the StateProperty Redistribution Office in Auburn, where other state agencies have first chance to buy it.

Kevin Pool, whodesigned his own major in robotics, the only one in the state, exhibited "Hero," a new line of personalrobots. "Hero" was purchased and assembled last fall by a robotics class, and Pool began learning andworking with it last fall. "Hero is strictly a glorified toy," Pool said. "About 10 or 15 years down the road it will be the Model T of robots." Pool demonstrated Hero's ability to detect sound, light and motion. He clapped his hands and Hero said, "Quiet, I'm trying Arts/Tech: Fcfrd wants both By Roger HaydenSaying liberal arts should be the centerpiece regardless of the direction Western takes in the future,Paul Ford made his.pitch Friday for the number two administrative position at Western, vice presidentfor academic affairs. In a sparsely-attended open meeting, Ford said he would work to "generate asense for the importance of liberal arts," but it would be wrong to assume that Western can be "allapplied science or all liberal arts." Although the job has been stripped of some major resonsi-bilitiessince he last served in it during the 1982-83 school year, Ford said that would only allow him more timeto "make Western a better learning environment." Much of the budgeting and staff responsibilitiesrecently have been delegated to other areas. Ford said Western's role should be to graduate literaterresponsible students with the ability to learn. Part of that process, he said, is teaching computerliteracy, which he said is becoming as important as reading a?id writing. ' A; Ford said regionaluniversities have a responsibility to commit resources to the communities they serve. He said preparingstudents for careers in high-tech industries is part of that commitment. Ford also suggestedhumanities courses that would serve mid-level and executive-level managers. But he said, "The stateLegislature expects more from regional universities than it is willing to pay for." Ford said it isnecessary to evaluate courses periodically to determine their usefulness. Because a ^program hasexisted for a long time, doesn't mean it should stay, Ford said. Ford said he is comfortable with a moredecentralized system for decision making. And he said the present structure of governance atWestern is such that it can solve most problems. Working closely with deans and department heads isone aspect of the vice president's job, Ford stressed. But he said he had no "grand plans" to present tothe colleges. Ford said he is concerned with enrollment lids versus the idea of accessibility to aneducation for everyone. The problem of new students getting lost in larger classes, tuition increases and balancing of liberal arts and applied-science courses are other concerns Ford mentioned, but he did notelaborate. Ford currently is an education professor. Kennith Hoving, head of the Graduate College of the University of Oklahoma, also is seeking the post and will be available in an open meeting at 2:30 p.m. Thursday May 24, in the Wilson Library Presentation Room. to sleep," and when he hit it, it said,"Ouch, that hurt." Hero can be programmed to detect people from as far as 15 feet away. It can pick upweights up to 16 ounces, and moves around at three different speeds. Pool's major is a concentration of four different areas: education, computer science, physics and mathematics. Pool didn't know whetherothers would major in robotics, too, but said, "The industry is searching for people in robotics. There aren't many people who know much about it." \INSIDE\ ! Sen.

H.A. "Barney" Goltz. Washington ranks fifth in the nation in providing fundsfor higher education, the senator said last Thursday in the viking Union Lounge But that support perstudent is not very high, "There are danger signals in raising tuition," he said. Western is a state system created by the Legislature to provide higher education to all Washington state residents. Andeducation is the social and economic ladder that enables students to become more independentand prosperous in Washington, he said. Not only should the institution be dedicated to providingeducation, Goltz said, but it has an obligation to offer leadership to the region it serves. "Institutions cannot be isolated, they've got to be involved in the community," he said. Megatrends, though, arechanging the role of being a community leader, Goltz said. "We must keep pace with the change," hesaid, referring to the emergence of a global community. Western's current liberal arts program isbecoming obsolete because it covers only Western roots. Instead, universities should place moreattention on Asian countries and their cultures, he said. The senator's visit was a part of Western'sImpact Week Center helps business students By Kris Franich A year-old Student Advisory Center forbusiness students is open three days a week to answer questions about the business program. Thecenter, created last spring by Kenneth Keleman of the business department, focuses upon assistingstudents with general questions such as declaring a business major, direction on a certainconcentration, transfer credit equivalencies, course r e q u i r e m e n t s , graduation requirements andgrade points. The service is staffed by five student advisers. They answer basic questions to alleviatethe advising demands on the professors. The SAC is administered by the College of Business andEconomics. The idea of the center derived from Keleman, who saw a similar system at the Universityof Utah. Keleman said he thought a need was present for availability of business information to thestudents. If students do request information beyond the resources provided by SAC, the adviserswill refer the individuals to Academic Advising Center, Career Planning and Placement, Tutorial Center,Counseling Center or the Office of Student Life. The student advisers (Beth Hippe, Rob Wagoner, PaulAchen, Kathy Danner and Tami Tebeau) encourage students to come in and plan classes for fall ifpossible. Appointments are recommended and can be made in the Department of Finance,Ma
