The legislature claims that members of the intermediate and il-college judiciary boards were notselected in accordance with the lies outlined in the campus guidebook, Navigator. The bill claimed lat the boards were illegally constituted and called for selection of ew members according to correct procedures. Cooper charged that the legislature had not adequately researched ossible consequences as a result ofthe bill. He said it would probably ike six weeks before new members could be selected and seated onhe boards. "There is concern in many persons' minds that city police may be â€¢sed on campus,"Cooper said. "The legislature's action may trigger a novement in favor of such a proposal since the college would not * ave its own judicial authority to handle student law-breakers." "The legislature has not looked into the problem seriously," he lid. Cooper has asked Dean of Men Ray Romine to explain the duationto the legislature at today's session. Speaker of the legislature Bert Halprin explained the legislature's ' '-asons for unanimously passing the bill: "From the day I found out that they (the judiciaries) had beenâ€¢leered without any input, I wondered how to proceed. "This seemed to be a question which ought to be referred to the ..S judiciary. Action was delayed because it seemed more proper that "le AS judicial,rather than the legislative arm, raise the complaint." "I had, therefore, requested President Cooper tomake his gt;pointments to the board last November. He assured me on at least iree occasions that theJudicial board would be named 'next week.' ot one member has yet been named." Cooper said that thejudicial branch was not the proper place to send their complaint either. "If the legislature understood theprocess of government in this stitution they would have known that their complaint should have me to thestudent conduct committee," he said when he vetoed the ' 11. He said that AS has two representativeson that committee. According to Halprin, however: "Despite a tradition of forgetting about gross errors fora few months, then refusing to correct them, I am happy that the legislature decided to take the initialstep toward righting the situation.

WWSC Bellingham, Washington Tuesday, February 2, 1971 No. 32Speaker Halprin Pushes Student Rights Document By GLEN JONES Front Reporter Bert Halprin,speaker of the AS Legislature, wants to rejuvenate interest in the passage of a nationally-organizedstudent bill of rights on campus. The bill operates within the same spectrum as a bill proposed bySenator Sam Guess to the state legislature. Yet, the bill of rights' provisions are freedom-oriented ratherthan restrictive towards students. Halprin's efforts are centered around the student welfare committee ofthe AS Legislature, whose duties include approval of such measures. He is extremely confident the newchairman of the committee, John McDonnell, will see this bill through successfully, he said. Joint effortsto draft a statement of student rights and freedoms by national educational associations began in the fallof 1966. Representing faculty, administrators and students, endorsements of this bill now include:National Student Association, American Association of College, National Association of StudentPersonnel Administrators, Association of Women's Deans and Counselors, Campus Americans' forDemocratic Action, and American Association of University Professors. The purpose of the bill, as stated in its preamble, is "to enumerate the essential provisions for student freedom to learn." The bulk of thejoint statement is devoted to setting standards in the areas of student affairs and disciplinaryproceedings. Highlights in the area of student affairs include: â€”students should be free to organize andjoin associations to promote their common interests. -affiliation with an extramural organization shouldnot of itself disqualify a student organization from institutional recognition. -students and studentorganizations should be free to examine and to discuss all questions of interest to them, and to expressopinions publicly â€¢ and privately. -students should be allowed to invite and to hear any person of theirown choosing. -student press should be free of censorship and advance approval of copy. -editors andmanagers of student publications should be protected from arbitrary suspension and removal because ofdisapproval. In the area of disciplinary procedings, the bill requires that an accused student be informedof the nature of the charges against him, that he be given a fair opportunity to refute them, that theinstitution not be arbitrary in its actions, and that there be provision for appeal of a decision. Some of thedetails of this area are: - e x c e p t under extreme emergency circumstances, premises occupied bystudents and the personal possessions of students should not be searched unless appropriateauthorization has been obtained - n o form of harassment should be used by institutional representatives to coerce admissions of guilt or information about conduct of other suspected persons â€”pendingaction on the charges, the status of a student should not be altered, except for reasons relating to hisphysical or emotionaly safety and well-being, or the safety and well-being of students, faculty, oruniversity property. The bill goes on to explicate these and other areas of student rights and freedomsmore thoroughly. Other provisions deal specifically with access to higher education, classroomprocedure, student records, and freedom of off-campus students. inside: Halprin Interviews JaneMason p.4 ---------- Western Front - 1971 February 2 - Page 2 ---------- Tuesday, February 2, 1971 TODAY: NBC TV, First Tuesday with Correspondent Tom Pettit introducingthe features and stories of the February edition. 9-11 p.m. Gallery show, "Seven from Washington:Print-making Today" It includes the works of s e v e n p r o m i n e nt print-makers.

This Thursday, theBon Marche will be on campus to seek applicants for management trainees. The State GameDepartment kicks off next week, by interviewing students on M o n d a y for W i l d l i f e Managementagents. Next Wednesday the United States International University will seek applicants for graduateschool. Also the Federal Service Information program will be on c a m p u s to d i s t r i b u te Tenants iff Union Pete White, chairman of the Tenants' Union (TU), called Governor Dan Evans tenants' rightsproposal "beautiful." White said last week, that Evans' new bill "is exactly what we've been after." The TU originated as a student service organization in 1969 when a shortage of off-campus housing forced about200 students to quit school. Since 1969 the TU has strived to ease the problems between tenant andlandlord. The new bill, if passed, would give TU better ground to work on. The new landlord-tenantproposal would impose responsibilities on both sides for compliance with housing codes. Under the bill, a tenant would have the option of moving out, using rent money for repairs or paying his rent to the countyauditor until a landlord satisfies requests to perform his duties. The bill would also make the landlordsubject, to triple damages if he dispossessed a tenant without a valid court order. The same penaltywould apply if he seized the tenants' property as security for rent without the tenants' prior consent. Non-returned damage deposits have been a major problem for TU. In the past the TU has tried to get tenantand landlord together and to talk the problem out. When the discussions failed, the tenant usually filed aclaim at the small claims court. In the past, the court has generally been in favor of the tenant. In Evans'bill, the landlord would be put more on the defensive. The bill also calls for return of unused deposit fundswith a statement of charges within two weeks after the tenant has moved out. Failure would make thelandlord liable for double amount of deposit. White urges people to support the bill. He said peopleinterested in contacting their congressmen, can get a list of the names in the TU office. " ' White addedthat the bill will be reviewed on Feb. 24. The chairman said anyone interested in lobbying for the bill andneeds transportation to Olympia, can contact the TU. information on several federal agencies.

Adoption of the long-awaited proposal by AS will make the plan a reality and the refundwill go into effect retroactively to Dec. 1, 1970. The five-point proposal outlines specifics for student,faculty and staff participation in t h e co-operative bookstore refund as follows: â€”Patronage refundsshall be paid, when possible, based upon purchases made during the bookstore's fiscal yearâ€”Aug. 1through the following July 31. Sales receipts must be turned in by July 31. â€”Patronage refunds shall be paid by check in the September following the end of the fiscal year. â€”Basis of claim for patronagerefund: The eligible members will submit cash register receipts received during the fiscal year in themanner as shown on the Students' Co-operative Store Patronage Refund Envelopes. â€”Individual refundamounts will be calculated on a proportional basis, that is, if the members sales slips comprise .01 percent of the total value of all sales slips submitted, he would receive .01 per cent of the total refund, if one were paid. (For example: total refund equals $15,000, he would receive .01 per cent or $1.50). No check in an amount less than $1 will be PRESIDENT COOPER Photo By BOB BURNETT 'Cooper Veto'(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) "The legislature did not intend to have any past decisions of the judiciaryvoided, but merely wanted to proceed further with the improperly selected judiciaries." In stating hisreasons for vetoing the bill to this reporter, Cooper "I've heard rumors from people close to the judiciaryboards that if there is interference from any government body on campus, they have considereddisbanding and giving judicial power back to the Deans' offices. "The legislature is negligent in thismatter. I'm sorry the whole thing came up. "The current judiciary is functioning well, he said. "The ASLegislature should not expel its energies on an issue such as this when students at this college aregetting short-changed in education and are forced to accept an imposed., sterile living condition." Indefense of the legislature, Halprin said: "Cathy Dudik's reported statement in the Western Front that 'Itwas up to the legislature to make sure its appointee attended the selection meeting' would be valid except that neither the legislature nor its appointee was ever informed of the time and place of that meeting."DRAMA PLANS SUMMER STOCK A nine-week summer stock theatre is tentatively being planned bythe drama department, according to Dr. William Gregory. Gregory said the first meeting held last weekproved there were enough etudents at Western interested in working on summer stock to put the planinto action. "We were only expecting about a dozen students to show up tor the meeting," Gregory said."But over 60 students showed up and around 40 signed up for the course." Students taking summerstock as a class will receive between 11 to 15 credits. , , . ,n Each student will work six days a weekfrom 10 a.m. to lU.JU p m., according to a proposed course outline put out by the drama department, and each student will have a chance to work in the various parts of play production. The first of the six playsscheduled is "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum," although Gregory said it was notdefinite. Gregory said he hoped to move the plays off-campus and make the summer stock a communityeffort. Any students wanting to sign up for summer stock are asked to call Gregory at 3890. issued, anda $2 membership refund fee will be deducted from faculty and staff refunds. â€”Procedure for determining whether a refund can be paid: a. The bookstore board will be responsible for providing a projectedincome statement in September and a quarterly report concerning performance. b. Necessary uses forestimated net profits will be determined. c. The a m o u n t of uncommittee estimated earnings will beused to declare whether a refund appears possible. The audited statement for July 31 will be the basis of actual determination. Final approval of the policy is still subject to one minor technicality before it canbe presented to the AS. The policy was adopted by the board and went into the minutes of the Jan. 20meeting as accepted. The board must now approve the minutes of that meeting at their next meeting, tobe held next week. Meanwhile Board Chairman Dr. Howard Mitchell is looking into including theproposal in the agenda of the next available meeting of the Associated Students. Little or no oppositionis expected from AS, Mitchell said, but he feels that he and the other five members of the board shouldbe fully prepared to answer questions and discuss the issue with the legislators. Approval by the AS willbe the final hurdle in the long journey of the rebate proposal from inception to acceptance. Flora,Trustees Okay Sudden Valley Action BOB BURNETT Front Reporter The Board of Trustees and thecollege administration have, for the first time, taken a . stand on the controversy surrounding airport andmarina development at Sudden Valley. AS President Steve Cooper, in an announcement made Friday,said, "Western Washington State College and the Board of Trustees have jointly asked the state attorney general's office to investigate the situation." The results of this investigation will fugure in the decision tofile a complaint against the Sanwick Corporation, developers of Sudden Valley. Cooper has beenhesitant to talk about action against the developers since the AS Legislature passed a bill supportinglegal action and initiated a defense fund for Western's Lakewood recreational area near the SuddenValley development. Cooper said he had been advised not to release any information. "I'm not trying tohide anything," he said. "I'm just protecting the best interests of the student body until this thing isresolved." Cooper would not say whether or not a decision had been made to sue Sudden Valley or if alawyer had been hired to represent Western. Cooper's announcement marked the first time official actionby the college or the trustees was made public. Student leaders have complained since last summerthat the airport and marina development being done by the Sanwick company are detrimental to the value of property near Sudden Valley. They say the development "probably" violates federal and stateenvironmental laws and that the airport would create a nuisance. The Sudden Valley development onLake Whatcom is located immediately south of Western's Lakewood property. The airstrip runs to within five feet of Western's property. Student environmentalist Ted Boss claims that the dredging and fillingdone by Sudden Valley is gradually filling the lake with silt and decreasing the water depth at Lakewoodboating facilities. "I'm not trying to hide anything," he said. "I'm just protecting the best interests of thestudent body until this thing is resolved."

Student leaders are certain that Sudden Valley will not give up without a fight. The Sanwick Corporation has millions of dollars at stake in Sudden Valley. College PresidentCharles Flora said that it may be years before the situation is entirely resolved. Solons Use Knife onCooper's Budget Pie REBECCA FIRTH Front Reporter The AS Legislators have approved the 1971budget, but the final version of the measure differs radically from that proposed by AS President SteveCooper. While the budget that finally emerged from the stormy, two and one-half hour session last weekdoes not differ in its total expenditure from that proposed by the president, its internal structure was aproduct of the legislative process and not that of the executive branch. The legislature did not proportionmoney for a non-academic coordinator or for the printing of a new sex-education booklet. They did vote to allot $200 to executive supplies, $820 to the executive contingency fund, and $800 to the politicalinvolvement committee. Cooper said that what the legislature did was completely unbelievable. "They (the legislature) are simply not aware of what we are doing. Although tonight was a major defeat and atremendously gross mistake on the part of the legislature, it does not paralyze the new programs. "Whatit does do is reveal student government legislators as being completely inept and completelyobstructionist in philosophy. They do not understand what we are doing." Bert Halprin, speaker of thelegislature, said that this was the first step towards a cut-back in the budget. "It wasn't an internallyconsistent step. I'm extermely puzzled as to why one position was funded (academic) and anotherwasn't (non-academic)." Cooper's reaction was that "The Legislature's attitude and outlook is completelytraditional. It represents the attitude and outlook that student government has had for the past five years.They (the legislators) are still caught up in confrontation politics, irresponsible and once-a-weeklegislation." W-13 entered the Legislature from the physical management committee with unanimousabstention as a recommendation and several changes already made. Rich Hass, AS business managerand legislator, was satisfied at the over-all outcome of the meeting. He felt that the budget changes were needed. "People that are now working for Steve are good people and deserve money, but we must put a stop to the salaries budgeting. We added more money to the executive contingency fund and if Stevewants to pay salaries from that then he can. It's up to him now. What we have done shouldn't reallychange anything." Legislator Mary Watts asked to be given a leave of absence from the Legislature forthe rest of the quarter. She stated time, money, and grades as her reasons. ---------- Western Front - 1971 February 2 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, February 2, 1971 mm mmmmmm Front Editorials.... "To comfort the afflictedand to afflict the comforted" No to USIU Recruiters from the United States International University (USIU) will be holding interviews on campus a week from tomorrow with students interested in USIU's graduateprograms. The college community should boycott their interviews and confront them with questionsconcerning the university's apparent clandestine operations. USIU is not a typical university. TheCalifornia-based private school is controlled by former military officers, high ranking members of the NavyLeague, bankers, industrialists and agribusinessmen who have used their influence to acquire a numberof deactivated military bases for free to build new campusesâ€”the latest at Sundance, Wyoming. Theuniversity has acquired these old military bases under a federal law which says that private educationalinstitutions may receive surplus federal land as a "public benefit allowance." USIU is currently under firein Oregon concerning its acquisition of Adair Air Force Station near Corvallis. The Oregon Council of thePoor is protesting the land transfer on the grounds that poor persons could make better use of theproperty. The Council staged weekly protests at the air station during the fall term. Members of theCouncil contend that housing located at the station would "make fine homes for poor people." They argue that if Adair is transferred to USIU, then it Yes to Rotary The Rotary Club in downtown Bellinghamseems to be making a sincere effort to bridge the so-called "town-gown gap" which exists between theBellingham community and the college. The fact that local Rotarians are recognizing the existence ofthe problem and are expressing a desire to do something about it is indeed encouraging news. Dr.Michael Mischaikow, a Rotarian and professor of business and. economics at Western, told yesterday'snoon luncheon gathering of the local business leaders that the college cannot exist without thecommunity's logistical support and that the would become a campus for the rich where tuition will bemore than $3000 a year. The Adair property transfer has been held up by Sen. Mark Hatfield (R-Ore.)pending investigation by his office. USIU was to have received some 200-plus acres of Adair propertygratis, while paying market price for an additional 177 acres and the housing units. An angry group ofstudents at the University of Oregon investigated USIU from several angles and discovered that USIU'senrollment figures were very low, its access to old military bases high, and its financial status suspectand largely secret. USIU maintains campuses in Mexico, England, Nigeria, Kenya and several locationsin the continental United States. Both students and faculty must sign a "pledge of allegiance" to USIUand students are ruled under an oppressively puritanical code which conveniently provides for dismissals on almost any ground. USIU recruiters slipped away from a University of Oregon confrontation grouptwo weeks ago when they visited the Eugene campus. Let's not let them get away from Western without a public meeting to set their record straight. It would be nice to know whether USIU is in education orreal estate. â€”John Stolpe community would fare much worse without the presence of the state college campus. The question remains whether or not students and faculty are willing to extend a hand inbridging this gap which certainly runs deeper today than it has during any other period of college history. AS President Steve Cooper's town-gown committee is certainly a step in the right direction. But it is upto each one of us to bring the two communities closer together.

EDITORIAL PHONE: 676-3161ADVERTISING PHONE: 676-3160 An interview with a very impressive womanâ€”newly elected CountyProsecutor Jane Mason Q. Could you explain what the "tolerance policy" was and why you stopped it.A. Well, specifically, the gambling tolerance policy tolerated the violation of state law without any legalaction being taken. That's what a tolerance policy isâ€”tolerating illegal conduct.. I chose to campaign on that issue as a sub-issue of respect for law and the law and order issue. I campaigned on respect for thelaw. Ending the gambling was a very controversial issue, and I feel the stand I took on it was the onlyhonest stand. Because of the tremendous part that gambling and everything connected with it plays inour society, it was a very important issue. It was too big to forget about because it has implication everytime you turn around. There have been two bills introduced to change the laws on gambling. If ever therewas a time for the legislature to act, now is the time. My impression of people and the mores andstandards now leads me to believe the gambling laws are way outdated and the legislature will act inanswer to their constituents. Q. Do you think that students and hippies get a fair shake from the systemof criminal justice in this county? A. Well, I would certainly hope so. If there is the opinion among somethat any law enforcement officers in this county can pick on so called hippie appearing people, if that isthe case or if there is that opinion held by some, then I'm not aware of it. Q. Some people hold theopposite view, that being people as students and live on Western's campus they are allowed to get awaywith all sorts of things like use of drugs and minors using alcohol. There are occasional rumors that somesort of crackdown is planned. Is this true? A. Not to my knowledge. I do not feel that the campus shouldbe treated in general, with regard to law enforcement, any differently than any other portion of the city. It's part of the city, and the county. The law applies to all, not just to some and it applies to the campus too. Q. How do you feel personally about laws which attempt to enforce moralityâ€”like drug laws, and lawsagainst rock festivals? A. Law is a product of civilized society and it is the structure with which wemaintain order in a society. I feel that the law is a product of what people want to be governed by. Now ifthe thinking of a majority of people changes over a given period of time then they should exercise,through the legislative branch, the authority to have the law changed. The problemâ€”the crunchâ€”comes when you've got the lag, which is quite often the case. You've got the time lagâ€”a majority of peoplewant the law changed, but the law doesn't get changed and the crunch is put on law enforcement officials. What do they do in the meantime? This is a constant problem. The only honest answer law enforcement can give is that until the law is changed, they must uphold the law on the books. Q. In your personalopinion, should possession of marijuana for personal use be a criminal offense? ^ A. I don't know as Ishould attempt to comment on that and I'll attempt to explain why. I'm in a law enforcement roleâ€”thechief law enforcement official of this county. It's my job to uphold the laws of this state, this county.Whatever my personal predilections may be, I can't allow them to get in the way of doing my official duty. Q. You are apparently the only female prosecutor ever in the state. Do you feel in agreement with thewoman's liberation movement? A. I don't like to pigeonhole people and I won't pigeonhole myself. I mayappear to be a women's liberation typeâ€”whatever that means. I certainly didn't campaign on that. Icampaigned on issues, not personality or sex, and it didn't seem to affect the votes. But I do feelâ€”well,there's quite a bit of discrimination in life, period. Male, female or otherwise. But I do feel at times there'squite a bit of discrimination based on sex in certain areas. Q. The job of prosecutor, while a professionalone, is also in politics. The campaign you waged showed that you understand this side of it well. Do yousee any future for yourself in politics? A. Well, I'm extremely busy at the moment. This is a verydemanding office. The responsibilities placed on elected officials are multiplying and you simply do thebest you can. I think it's too soon to consider what my future will be. I've never been one to worry aboutthe future, or the past. They take care of themselves. But I certainly intend to remain active to a certainextent in Democratic politics. I am a Democrat. Q. Let me finally ask you. Do you feel there's a"prosecuting" mentality? Do you bring people to court whether they should be convicted or not? A. Well,I certainly don't feel the position has "the villain" painted all over it. There've been good prosecutors andthere've been bad prosecutors just like there have been good and bad in every role. I think the most onecan ask of a prosecutor is that he be fair and represent the state vigorously for violations of the laws. Butbe fair while he goes about it. And we simply have to trust in human nature and the elective process which governs the selection of prosecuting attorneys. Q. I appreciate the time you've given me. Thank you verymuch. A. It was my pleasure. ---------- Western Front - 1971 February 2 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, February 2, 1971 Western Front 5 Mitchell on Bookstore Editor's note: Dr. Howard Mitchell ischairman of the Economics Department and also serves as chairman of the college bookstore board. By Dr. HOWARD MITCHELL I have been requested to offer a commentary on the participation refund policycurrently being developed by the bookstore board. First, let me make several comments that are relevant to the refund policy and bookstore operations. The bookstore was established as a means of providingtextbooks and other books, class and other study supplies, general merchandise items needed by thestudent, and any special services for the students at the least cost possible. Policy determination andadministrative review are vested in the bookstore board with actual administration provided by a bookstore manager. Policy is subject to limited review by the AS Legislature. Given the purposes outlined above, it is presumed that any net earnings of the bookstore not needed to accomplish these purposes would beavailable for return to the students, based upon the level of purchases they made during the operatingperiod. The bookstore board currently operates under a mandate that, rather than use unneeded netearnings for a participation refund, they be used to provide a bookstore building. Funds to finance thepresent main building are being provided by a $2 per quarter student fee. A contingency provision requires that if fees are inadequate to meet the contract payment schedule, this deficiency must be made upfrom net income. Until recently, net earnings were barely adequate to finance the rapid expansion ininventory and facilities necessary to serve the growing student body. Included in this is the south campus area annex built last summer. Net income is affected by pricing policies. The bookstore pricing policyutilizes the standard retail markup used generally throughout the country for textbooksâ€”20 per cent ofretail price. On other items, it uses selected retail markups established to facilitate inventory controlaccounting. Nearly all result in a price below suggested retail prices for the items. Other elements affectnet income also. The free check cashing service and the post office sub-station result in a loss, butprovide benefits which more than make up for the loss in terms of convenience to the students who usethese services. You may wonder why a participation refund is being considered now, and was notpreviously. Speaking as a board member, there are several factors that have affected the net earningsand potential unneeded net earnings for the current year: (1) student enrollment will not increase bymuch in 1971-72, so the inventory will not have to be expanded greatly; (b) fewer new programs havebeen developed in the past two years, and thus there has been less pressure for expanded inventory; (c)the bookstore management has been able to meet the increased volume of sales without increasing thefixed costs of building and fixtures or greatly increasing the clerical and administrative staff; and (d) thecosts of building the Annex and putting it into operation were met from available financial resources.Earnings forecasts and anticipated financial accumulation to meet future building needs suggest thatthere will be sufficient unneeded earnings to allow a participation refund. Further, the $2 building fee willbe adequate to retire the remaining portion of obligations outstanding on the main bookstore building.Some have asked if paying the participation refund will result in price increases. I would not approve arefund if this were to be the result, and do not believe the other board members would. Several studentswho attended board meetings last spring and fall have pointed out that at that time I opposed a dividend.Why did I change my position? It is my belief that the board must operate in a conservative manner. Bythis I mean it should carry out its responsibilities in such a manner as to conserve the investment thestudents have built up in the bookstore and thus allow it to continue to meet the purposes for which itwas established. Not until the audited financial report for 1969-70 was completed, the annex finished, the projected income statement developed, was there sufficient information available to anticipate that arefund could be paid. I did not wish to propose a policy under conditions which would not allow one to bepaid. It is interesting that at this time many college bookstores are reporting that they are discontinuingdividends, some are suffering operating losses. The bookstore board will take its proposals for theparticipation refund to the AS Legislature as soon as we are sure we have all the information prepared tosupport this proposal. Evaluation Forms Accepted Appointments for evaluation and applications are now being accepted in 109 Old Main for June and August candidates for BA degree and provisionalcertificate candidates. Approval forms for majors and minors, included in each student's blue book,pages 9 and 10, must be signed by the a u t h o r i z e d department's representative prior to filing the de g r e e a n d / o r teaching certificate application in the registrar's office. June graduates are urged torequest evaluation and file their application prior to spring quarter advance registration. Educationcandidates for August who plan to student teach spring quarter are advised to make their request by theend of this quarter. housing notes Many tenants wonder what their rights are regarding the landlord'sprivilege to enter the unit they are renting. Basically, the landlord has very little right to enter your rental,unless you give him permission or have signed this right away in some type of agreement. Tenantsshould keep in mind that they are paying for a homeâ€”a place that belongs to them as long as theymake their rent payments. In many cases a landlord, or anyone else who enters without p e r m i s s i on , is guilty of trespassing. Contact: Gary West A.S.

O'Neil said Friday. The purpose of the print-out is tocorrelate the registrar's records with the student's actual class schedule, O'Neil said. "There were somany changes in registration this quarter that we want to make sure the records are correct." The print-outs will be mailed in three separate batches with the first third going out tomorrow, he said. The othersheets will be mailed Friday and Monday. O'Neil said that if the print-out is correct, the student has todo nothing. If there is an apparent mistake, however, the student should report it to the registrar's officefor action. O ' N e i l s t r e s s e d the importance of keeping students' present local addresses up todate. "We will send the print-out a n d p r e - r e g i s t r a t i o n appointments to the address we haveon file," he said. If a student has changed addresses since the beginning of the quarter, he should report his new address to the registrar's office. T h e e f f e c t of the experimental proof-sheet will not beknown until after grades have been mailed out at the end of the quarter, he said.

Studentanswers Charges Editor: As a student in the "highly immoral" program at Whatcom, I read CathyPark's letter with interest, then I got mad. But instead of writing from my point of view I thought I'd askmy class what they thought. So I read the letter to them and suggested they, too, write a letter to theeditor on what they thought of her letter and the , program. I tried to not influence them with my point ofview. I enclosed some of the letters as I feel they answer her better than I could. The students are in asixth grade class. They earn money for good behavior and work. They are not rewarded for every goodbehavior or correct problem. They can save their money to buy certain things, for instance eating candyor sharpening their pencil whenever they want to. They can also save for trips such as a skating party.The rewards are chosen by the students not by the teachers. There is no pressure put on them to saveor spend their money. I'm for the token system as another method of motivating children, not as the one answer. Marcia Harper Junior Whatcom Middle School Editor's note: Five letters from WhatcomMiddle School were submitted with Miss Harper's letter. We chose the following two to present the other side of the story: Of her side of story Editor: I think the girl that wrote the letter about the token money' system does not know the other side of the story. When kids work hard they should get something out of it.' When we are good we all pay the same amount of money to go on a field trip. Some kids havebeen trying harder ever since the money system has come out. The girl who wrote to you did not writeanything good, she just wrote bad things. Whatcom Middle School Student Editor: I'm replying to theletter that was sent out about the student teachers using play money, or the token system at Whatcom Middle School. I am a student included in this program and I am answering the letter that said that thissystem was not right because it causes greed. This I don't believe is true. Everyone needs to berewarded for something. We get money very few times for work, and mostly we get it for how we act. Ifwe are very bad we don't get anything, but if we are very good we get rewarded. This helps in teachingand in our behavior. In my opinion is hasn't made us greedy, it's made us happy. Kristen MyhreWhatcom Middle School P.S. It may not be good all the time, but on the average I think it helps us. 24Hour Visiting : Privacy Invasion? Editor: Twenty-four hour visitation will "be voted on by dorm residentssoon. And, of course, a word to the wise: think about both sides of the issue before committing yourvote. I am speaking for what may turn out to be a minority who oppose 24-hour visitation. Why opposesuch a policy? Because it threatens the right of privacy of every person who lives in a dorm on thiscampus. The right of privacy is a sacred right common to every citizen and must be protected. Oursociety has laws which protect that right. For example, " p e e p i n g tommery" is a misdemeanor."SPRING-BREAK IN HAWAII".- March 21-28 $279. per person Round Trip Pan Am Jet Clipper LeiGreeting on Arrival 7 Nights Hotel Accomodations at Waikiki TIME FOR SUN SURF Call Anne: 733-5910 SKI-ING VACATION IN SWITZERLAND-EASTER.

ANGLO-AMERICA ASSOCIATION 60A, Pyle St., Newport,I.W., Hampshire, England. Also on the books are laws governing the taking of pictures of people in their private dwellings without permission. Secondly, a blanket policy as t h i s does not take intoconsideration differing types of a r c h i t e c t u r e in dorm construction. The point is that most dormson campus are not self-contained apartment units. In the case of Mathes, Nash, Edens, lower Highland,and most of the Ridgeway complex, every room on any floor shares one bathroom. This makes itespecially awkward in the early morning or late evening hours when people are getting up or preparing for bed. Thus the policy introduces two peculiar problems not found in most normal living situations:Inadequate privacy for the o c c u p a n t s , and added inconvenience for guests of the opposite sex, allof whom must use one bathroom, usually located on the main floor. Thirdly, of course, is the p r o b l em of i n d i v i d u al responsibility. The policy states that "students must be held responsible for theiractions, for they are expected to act as a d u l t s , " and stresses this commendably. But these are but words with little muscle behind them. Most dorm policies governing visitation, pets, drugs, and liquorare either loosely enforced or not enforced at all, and violations are thus frequent. Some resident aidesturn t h e i r backs on their responsibilities. For example, in Higginson Hall, the staff has m a i n t a i n e d , by its own admission, a hands-off policy on dorm conduct. Even the willful vandalism of vendingmachines in the hall within the past two or three months has not changed this. In too many cases, many students are too busy rebelling against any type of rule, whether beneficial to their interests or not, tobother with "individual responsibility." If our goal is to create a more "realistic" living environment withinthe dorm structure, 24-hour visitation defeats that purpose by threatening a basic individual liberty ofprivacy, and c r e a t i n g a d d i t i o n al i n c o n v e n i e n c e for dorm residents and guests. Inaddition, it is absurd to grant additional liberties when responsibility and adequate e n f o r c e m e n tare not forthcoming. Cast your vote, but only after weighing both sides of the issues. What you decidewill affect the lives of every dorm student on this campus for better or worse. Jim Bromley SpeechSenior r k. ^ On a Saturday afternoon in 1958 tour hungry University of Washington students werebemoaning the fact that it was impossible to get a good pizza in the 'district' One of the four (thehungriest one) concluded, "The only way we're going to get a good pizza is to make it ourselves." It wasalso concluded that they had no money, they knew nothing about restaurant business, and that theymust be out of their minds. Three months later Pizza Haven opened. In the meantime they begged andborrowed about $3,000, read all they could about restaurant management, made and ate approximately173 pizzas until they came up with a combination they would be proud to sell to their classmates. Soonpromising careers in psych, history, math and pre-law were interrupted by the less intellectual pursuits oftable waiting, dough-cutting and sausage slicing. Somehow they survived that first year and havemanaged to do enough things right that they have grown from the U. District to the campuses of 15 othercolleges and Universities in Washington. No longer can you sit on the hard, wooden picnic benches orfeel the oven blast in the small store on the 'Ave,' but you still can get the best pizza at the best priceclose to campus. In recognition of the fact that Pizza Haven was started by college students for collegestudents and has based its success on this formula, Pizza Haven wishes to thank their old and newfriends on campus by having a 1958 Menu special on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Feb. 4,5,6...

Planned A new AS constitution, originally to be written by the r e s p o n si b l e l e a d e r s h ip committee, has been passed onto a newly formed subcommittee. AS legislatorAnn De Leon said, "it was time for a total r e s t r u c t u r i n g " of the old constitution, which"contained too many loopholes and was incomplete and vague in many places." Miss De Leon said thenew constitution would specifically call for better representation in s t u d e n t g o v e r n m e n t. R e pr e s e n t a t i v e s from publications, program committee and interhall committee will serve. The newconstitution stems from a campaign promise made by AS President Steve Cooper last fall quarter.Cooper said he would have the AS legislative and executive branch work together to write a newconstitution. The new constitution will eliminate problems like last quarter's invalid elections, Miss DeLeon said. The AS is planning to hire an expert in constitutional law to serve as an advisor and help with the actual rewriting. Anyone who is interested in helping with the rewriting is welcomed.

Playing their finest all-around game of the year, Western threw theEvco race wide open with the victory. Eastern still leads with a 6-1 record. Western and Whitworth aretied for second at 5-2, while Central, who lost to the Savages 61-59 last Friday, is fourth with a 4-2league ledger. It was a free throw by guard Mike Preston with 16 seconds left that provided the victorymargin. The charity shot gave Western a 76-73 lead and a field goal by Dave Hayden with three seconds remaining brought the final score to 76-75. Western never trailed in the first half, though tied at theintermission. The Vikings continued to ,h;old a slim lead throughout the second half until two field goalsby Hayden and one by forward Randy Buss gave Eastern a 65-64 lead with three minutes to go. Savageguard Darryl Harris netted two free throws moments later to stretch the margin to 67-64, the largest heldby the Savages. Then Viking center Rudy Thomas, who played brilliantly throughout the game and was outstanding in the final minutes, scored two baskets, the second a crucial tip-in that put Western infront 68-67 at the 2:37 mark. Again Harris, with a jump shot from the top of the key, got the lead back for the Savages 69-68, but Thomas,unstoppable, converted a three-point play to put Western on top 71-69. Forward Steve Barnett tied it 71-71. A jump shot by Viking captain Neal Larson made it 73-71 with 1:38remaining. Buss, on a twisting layup, knotted it again 73-73, but Western, not to be denied, took thelead for good on another pressure-packed jump shot by Larson with 51 seconds left. * Eastern failed toscore the next time down the court, though getting numerous shots in a near free-for-all that put thecapacity crowd in roaring hysteria. The Vikings finally got control on a rebound by Thomas and wentinto a stall. Preston was intentionally fouled by Buss. Though he missed the first shot, he converted thesecond to assure the victory. It was this same stalling tactic that proved disastrous to the Big Blue inthe first half. The Vikings saw their largest lead of western front SPORTS Grapplers Struggle to 7th InSan Francisco Tourney Western's wrestling squad pulled a seventh place finish out of the sixth annualSan F r a n c i s c o I n v i t a t i o n al Tournament Saturday. C a l i f o r n i a Polytechnic Institute ofSan Luis Obispo edged Seattle Pacific College 72-70 to win the 20-team single Elimination tournament. Three Western wrestlers placed fourth in their weight division; Admiral Flunder in the 1 1 8 pound level,Terry Beckstead at 134 and Lee Anderson at 157. Western led the tournament for a short while as allthe Vik wrestlers but one picked up first match victories. Four were pins. "I really think they did atremendous job," Coach Lanny Bryant said, and "they worked to their maximum." "We lost some realclose ones," he added. The team flew to San Francisco Friday, wrestled Ruggers Crush U of Oregon 9-0 Smiling Willy McCann may be walking around campus with a limp this week but he deserves therespect an injured athlete usually gets.

In his first big score of the game, McCann simply out-ran everyone on the field as he scrambled 50 yards forthree points. His second score, though not as long, was more exciting as he mowed over two ruggerswho thought they could stop Smiling Willy's 35-yard journey to the goal line. A penalty kick byWestern's infamous Harry Dumptruck brought the score to a final 9-0. Western's second team beatOregon's second team 3-0. Ray Latta scored the only tri of that game on a twenty-five yard jauntcarrying two opposing ruggers across the goal line as he scored. Western's Rugby Club didn't fair aswell last Saturday as the first team lost 18-3 to the University of Washington. The seconds also lost asthe Huskie seconds won 6-0. Both games were played in Seattle. The Rugby Club's next game isSaturday at home against the University of British Columbia. That game will start at 1:30 p.m. behindCarver Gymnasium.

Costly turnovers allowed the Savages to come back and tie the score at the half on abasket by Buss. Western was near perfect at the free throw line, hitting 20 of 23 charity tosses, an 87per cent accuracy. In fact the Vikings hit their first 12 free throws before Lee Roy Shults missed thesecond shot of a one-and-one situation with 8:56 left in the game. A big factor in the win was the 39-26rebounding advantage held by Western. Thomas led with 15 and Shults had 11. Balanced scoring wasanother contributing factor as Thomas bucketed 20 points, Larson and Gary White each had 15 andShults 14. Larson hit 6 of 7 field goals and Thomas 9 of 16 as the Vikings hit 53 per cent from the fieldto Eastern's 49 per cent. White made nine straight foul shots to extend his string to 18 before missinghis final attempt of the game. The 6-5 junior, making the tough adjustment from forward to guard, turnedin a fine performance in his first game at that position. With White at guard coach Chuck Randall wasable to start forward John Reed. Thus the Vikings had a combined starting five weight of 1,055 pounds to effectively offset Eastern's 1,017 net weight. The 6-7 Hayden led all scorers with 26 points, but washeld to only 6 rebounds. Buss had 14 points, while Harris and guard George Gamble each had 12. TheEastern press, employed throughout the second half, made for 21 turnovers by the Vikings, compared to 17 for the Savages. Neal Larson fires away from the outside in early season action.

It used to read "We'll pay you $288 a month to learn a skill," but a groupcalling themselves the Bellingham Chapter of the Citizens Committee for Honesty in Billboards decidedthat was false advertising, and so sometime late Sunday night it was changed. The Front was informedof the planned sabotage when a person sounding very much like Donald Duck called the office Sundayevening, and asked to speak to the editor. He identified himself as a member of the Bellingham Chapterof the Citizens Committee for Honesty in Billboards, and stated that "a billboard on State Street is guiltyof false advertising, and is being rearranged to make it more honest." He asked the Front to drive downState Street early Monday morning, and to look for the altered board. A reporter and photographer wereon the scene .early yesterday, and discovered that the Army adjust off the corner of Laurel and State had been changed by blacking out the unwanted letters with some type of paint. The Bellingham ArmyRecruiting Office hadn't heard of the Committee's work when the Front inquired, but said that the "work of vandalism" would be removed as soon as possible. The alteration of the billboard may have beenprompted by a rash of attacks Photo by JAY ECKERT on Army billboard advertising which has beenoccuring recently across the nation, and has been reported in several newspapers including Bellingham's Northwest Passage. According to the Passage article, the Citizen's Committee claims chapters in 28states, all actively altering billboards to represent what they see as the truth. According to the Passage,the Committee notes that "modified billboards are being repaired," but says they'll correct this situationas fast as possible. ---------- Western Front - 1972 July 18 - Page 2 ---------- 2. Western Front Tuesday, July 18, 1972 Front editorials... What's George gonna do in Round Two?What's George got up his sleeve for Round Two? Round One was, in the end, no contest. With a superborganization lobbying for him at every democratic caucus and primary, McGovern entered the DemocraticConvention the odds-on favorite to win. And justly so, for he knocked all other contestants out of the ringin one ballot. George had correctly sensed the political mood of the people in the primaries and theconvention, and emerged as the darling of the Democratic party. George, really had his shit together inRound One. But Round Two is going to be a bit more of a challenge for the man from South Dakota.McGovern is entering the political ring against an old pro with a one win, one loss record j n pastpresidential races. George therefore has a distinct disadvantage from the beginning: his lack of experience in political infighting. George is going to have to learn a wide assortment of jabs and barbs in a very shorttime if he's going to stay in the ring with the champ. George is going to have to learn to duck and jab from the center, because this old pro is reputed to throw a mean right hook at anything coming at him from the left. George is gonna have to jab viciously at the weak links in Big Dick's armor, trying all the while tokeep the champ back on his heels. Rhetoric is really vicious at times like this, if applied properly. Wordslike Economy, Corporate Power, Taxes, Democracy, and Vietnam could bring Dick to his knees if applied in liberal doses. But first and foremost, George is going to have to maintain the charismatic personalityexuding confidence and honesty which he currently enjoys. The champ can only appeal to his past record of deception and lies, George can point to a prosperous and peaceful future. Keep your guard up,George, and smash him one for me. LYTM WATTS McGovern.. some fresh air or lots of stale cigarsmoke? After the "safe and sane" opening speech delivered by Democratic Party Chairman â€¢ LarryO'Brien, the acceptance speech by George McGovern was like a firecracker going off in our hands.O'Brien had said this was the year to stop the rhetoric, be open and honest with the American public, totry and restore America's faith in the political system by not promising things that can't be delivered.McGovern's speech was in direct opposition to the party's chairman. He promised things that will bedifficult, if not impossible, to deliver. McGovern proposed a grandiose scheme for bringing the soldiershome from Vietnam after stopping the bombing on Inauguration day. George may have something to sayabout when the bombing stops and when our soldiers return, but how can he promise that the POW's willcome home at the same time? He promised jobs where none exist today. Will he have to fall back on the old Democratic solution of artificially stimulating the economy to fulfill that promise? He promised welfare reform. How can he keep that promise, when it's been made before and couldn't be kept? His was aspeech liberally sprinkled with "I w i l l " and " I shall." These are words that imply promise. Nothingdefeats credibility faster than empty promises. If McGovern is to maintain the support of his backers andgive the voter a real alternative, he is going to have to do more than emulate the old style politics.

She went aground in broad daylight with good visibility on a well-charter shoal. She isbetter known as the Torrey Canyon and her tragic spill on the English coast in 1967 put the oil industryinto the spotlight of public opinion. What has happened in the five years which have passed since theTorrey Canyon disaster? Have clean-up procedures improved? What about navigational aids and strengthof hull construction, have they improved? These and many other questions are troubling the people of the Puget Sound region. There are now four refineries within the confines of the sound. Texaco and Shell are at Anacortes, and Mobil and ARCO are located near Cherry Point. Also, Standard Oil owns land nearCherry Point, and will probably build a refinery there someday. To determine the probability of a spill inthe sound, we must examine the tankers that will transport crude oil. ARCO's tankers which will makethe Valdez-Puget Sound run, will weigh 120,000 tons and carry 940,000 barrels of crude oil from theNorth Slope. They will have single bottoms, not double bottoms, and will have single-screw drive. Single-screw, or single-propeller drive gives a ship less maneuvering ability than a double-screw drive. This is animportant consideration since the tankers must pass through Rosario Strait to reach Cherry Point. Thisstrait narrows to a width of one and a half miles at one point, and is never more than six miles wide at any location. Add to this the fact that the ARCO tanker has a minimum stopping distance from cruise speedof about one mile. This distance is achieved by "slaloming" the ship from side to side in order to increase the drag. Due to the narrow characteristic of Rosario Strait, this "slaloming" may not be possible and thedistance needed to stop would then be increased. Tidal currents and weather also affect stoppingdistance. Maneuvering speed of the 120,000 ton tankers would be about 5 knots, and thus the stoppingdistance from this speed would be less than that from cruise speed. However a ship which has beensuccessfully stopped is then quite vulnerable to tidal currents, which can exceed 2 knots in RosarioStrait. The list of tanker shortcomings and possible dangers of oil transport goes on and on. By now youcan tell that the problem is one of immense magnitude which will not "go away." It might appear thatsmaller tankers are a lesser danger, since they are more maneuverable and carry less oil. Not so, saysKerryn King, a vice-president of Texaco. . He claims that a few very large tankers would be safer thanmany smaller tankers. The more tankers required to transport a given amount of oil,- the greater thechance of .a.spill, according to King, - His point is well-taken,. however the facts still remain thatsupertankers are single-hulled, difficult to maneuver, and carry about thirteen times as much oil as the T-2 tanker in common use today. In fact, if only one oil storage tank in the ARCO supertanker were to spill',approximately three million gallons would be released; this is one-half of the total carrying capacity of a T-2 tanker and ten times the amount spilled in the spring of 1971 at the Texaco refinery in Anacortes. 1suppose the decision to use supertankers has been made by a cost-benefit analysis, but how did anyoneput a price tag on the precious biological bank of the Puget Sound? The sound is essentially a closedsystem, unlike the ocean, and if a major spill were to occur, oil could remain within the sound for years,hampering biological activity and recreational usage. The stakes are high in this game and the oilindustry needs to be strictly controlled by responsible government agencies on both sides of the border ifthe Puget Sound is going to survive the effects of man's addiction to oil products. Finally, after severallocal oil spills we are starting to see government action; but we should continue to see more action. Themeeting of Washington state Governor Dan Evans and British Columbia Premier W. A. C. (Wacky)Bennett was healthy, but has absolutely no legal significance since the national governments were notinvolved. Unlimited liability is a badly needed, but absent, feature of oil laws. With this type of liability theoil companies would be required to pay the full cost of an oil spill, no matter how high these costs run.Man has no right to jeopardize the health of the Puget Sound in the name of an expensive and dirty habit. Editor's Note: This is the second article in a series of threeâ€”next week spill clean-up procedures will beinvestigated.

Hitchies are criss-crossing thecountry, and enjoying the scenery from Illinois to San Francisco. What is a hitchie? It's a woodenreplica of a hitchhiker created by John Ramm, a ' Western art major. When hitchhiking was legalized inWashington on May 23, Ramm started 12 hitchies on trips to various destinations in the United Statesand Canada. The hitchies have a pocket full of postcards on their backs, and people who give them rides are asked to send Ramm a card informing him of his offsprings' progress. Ramm said presently he has heard from eight of his hitchies. Naomi Grunt got to San Francisco a week after she left Washington.Senworthy is resting in Evanston, Illinois after - a long ride across the nation. Drew spend a week at anauto body shop in McCleary, Washington learning the trade. , Ernie is on the Trans-Canada Highway.He crossed the border at Sumas and evidently had quite a bit of trouble proving his citizenship. Rammsaid the card he received states that Ernie had - "quite a hassle" crossing the border. Ramm said he isvery much against the new referendum to once again make hitchhiking . illegal. He said he is thinking .about making a "whole bunch" of hitchies as caricatures of political figures like President Nixon andChicago's Mayor Richard Daley. Letters to the editor Prof. Hicks gives reply Editor, The WesternFront: The story by your reporter Lysa Wegman in your issue of July 11 on the Faculty Geyser isnothing if not sophomoric. She may be Miss (or is it Ms?) Worldly Wise-woman of the Campus, but sheshows precious l i t t l e understanding of the complex workings of the government of the college. As amatter of fact, the Faculty Council's request of June 5 that the Board of Trustees call for the resignationof President Floraâ€”an action taken only 11 days after the council's decision to poll the f a c u l t yâ€”was indecently precipitate and represented the b a n k r u p t c y of educational statesmanshipamong the small majority of the council that voted "yes." The decision to poll was itself of dubiouswisdom. The circulation of petitions among the faculty might well have prompted the council to set upmachinery for negotiation between the president and the faculty. The results of the poll a l l the more c le a r ly demonstrated the need for such machinery. Instead, the council with amazing shortsightednessvoted in the final week of the academic year to vacate the office of the president. One may well wonder ifthe council had any awareness that Western has a future, not to speak of a past. C o n f l i c t betweenthe president and the faculty is no new development at Western. I have myself lived through two periods of such conflict. In each of these the faculty through its leaders initiated negotiations with the president,and the two parties managed to establish a modus vivendi that did not disrupt the administration of the in s t i t u t i o n and in itself represented something like a meeting of minds and a resolution ofgrievances. The more recent of these conflict situations occurred during the first year of James L.Jarrett's presidency in the winter and spring of the academic year 1959-60. Only two of the members ofthe Faculty Council of June 5 were on the campus at that time. This fact may explain in part the woefullack of f o r e s i g h t and especially hindsight in their action. The Faculty Council should have Group to seek info on Council request The circumstances leading to the Faculty Council's request for theresignation of College President Charles J. Flora will be investigated by an ad-hoc committee of the All-College Senate. The Board asked the Senate, the principal campus legislative body, composed offaculty, students and staff, to investigate the facts leading to the Faculty Council request. The Senatedecided during its meeting on July 10. to form a nine-man committee of five faculty members, including a professor emeritus, two students and one member each from the staff and administration. The methodof choosing the . members of the committee was not decided. It was agreed by the Senate that thetime for researching the report will extend past the date of the Board's meeting in August. Theformulation of the committee was to be concluded at the special Senate meeting on July 17. Photo byRON GRAHAM known that in 1959-60 the new president showed a perverse ingenuity in alienating hisfaculty and by the middle of the year had created a crisis in faculty morale. Something had to be done.Expressions of hostility by the circulation of petitions were not thought of, though hostility to thepresident was rampant. There was no suggestion of polling the faculty or requesting t h e Board ofTrustees t o fire the p r e s i d e n t. Instead, the existing machinery of negotiation between thepresident and the faculty was brought into action. A special meeting of the AAUP chapter was held onFebruary 8, 1960 at which a fourteen point statement of grievances was presented and debated and acommittee appointed to discuss the morale question with the president. On March 2 the presidentappeared before a meeting of the chapter and entered into fruitful dialogue with a large and representative group of the faculty. On May 24 the Faculty Forum passed a resolution to take up questions of tenureand promotion with the president. On June 6 a newly elected Faculty Council met, organized, andreadied itself for negotiation with the president. By Commencement Day the air had already begun toclear and the machinery for continuing negotiation with the president had been set up. By the opening of Fall quarter 1960 the president and the. faculty were able to take up the work of the new academic year in a cooperative spirit, and this hard won relationship of h a r m o n y and mutual understandingprevailed until the e n d of Dr. J a r r e t t 's administration four years later. Notable in all this strugglewas the resolution of both president and faculty to resolve it without recourse to the Board of Trustees,which in my opinion should be appealed to only as a last resort. The Faculty Council of June 5 grosslyerred in going to the board as a first resort. Arthur C. Hicks Emeritus Professor of English THREEDOORS SOUTH OF SHAKEY'S ON ~- N. STATE ST.

For the rest of us there are several ways to enjoy the islands. You cantake a tour from the air, spend a leisurely afternoon island-hopping on the ferry, or if you're lucky travelon your own boat. Regardless of how you travel, take a camera and plenty of film. You may be luckyenough to spot a pod of killer whales diving in the waves. That brown "log" that keeps bobbing under the water close to shore can easily turn out to be a sea lion fishing. The changing combinations of islands,water and sky create scenes that challenge anything Hollywood has to offer. And you haven't seen asunset until you see the San Juans s i l h o u e t t e d against the red-orange sky. Fish, clams,oysters, crabs and shrimp are plentiful and fun to catch. The salmon fishing is world-famous. If you catch anything unfamiliar, it is usually a good idea to check it out with one of the local fishermen before youeat it. Since there are 172 islands in the San Juans, it would take a long time to do everything and seeeverything they have to offer. However, there are a few places you don't want to miss when you start out. San Juan Island is the home of the famous "Pig War," where in 1858, the shooting of a pig owned bythe Hudson's Bay Company by an American settler almost started a war between the United States and Britain. The old English and American campsites have been made into a National Historical Park. Thisyear is the hundredth anniversary of the settlement of the dispute. The islanders are celebrating it with a "Pig War" Centennial, which lasts until September, with events every weekend. One of the highlightswill be the Rendezvous, which will be held July 29, at Friday Harbor. While . you're in Friday DeceptionPass-Spanning Fidalgo and Whidbey Islands. Just over the bridge is the entrance to the state park.Harbor, a nice side trip is a visit to the University of Washington Institute of Oceanography. Theirlaboratories are maintained for teaching and research in marine biology and related fields. It is knowninternationally for its scientific program. Scientists and students from all over the world gather here.During the summer session, it is open to the public from 2 to 4 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays.Across the channel from Friday Harbor is Orcas Island, the largest of the San Juans. Mo ran State Park, with an area of more than 4,000 acres is located here. You can drive t o i h e summit of Mt.Constitution, the highest point in the San Juans for an unparalleled view of the Â»San Juans, theCanadian Gulf Islands and the Cascade Mountains on the mainland. Cascade Lake, which is in thepark, offers some of the best trout fishing in the state. Picnic areas, campsites and trails are abundant.If you travel to the islands by ferry, you will stop at both San Juan and Orcas Islands, plus Shaw andLopez Islands. The ferry leaves from .Anacortes on Fidalgo Island. To get to Anacortes, take the Mt.Vernon exit on Interstate 5 and then take State Highway 536 to the Anacortes Ferry Terminal. CampusBriefs Student advisors needed for fail The 1972 Orientation Committee is putting together the StudentAdvisor staff for next year's freshmen. As an advisor you would: get to know the fifteen-or-so members ofyour freshman group, serve as a general counselor and sounding board, facilitate registration, introducefreshmen to their new environment, provide academic advisement during the year. The job will beginduring the September 23-26 Orientation days. There will be optional contacts with group membersthroughout the year, particularly during pre-registration time each quarter. In order to help advisorsthemselves feel comfortable, three training sessions are planned-July 18, August 1, and September 2 3 -t o further delineate responsibilities and to provide needed resources. It's a challenging job, and peopleare needed. Those interested should contact the Assistant Dean of Students Office, OM 2. Seattle CityLight tour of Ross Lake sponsored Sunday A Western-sponsored Seattle City Light tour of Ross Lake will take place this Sunday, July 23. The tour bus will leave from in front of the VU at 11 a.m., and will return at approximately 8 p.m. The tour cost of $5 includes dinner, transportation and the boat tour of RossLake. Participants should eat a late breakfast or bring a sack lunch as dinner will be served in the lateafternoon. Tickets will be on sale this week at the VU desk. "Much Ado About Nothing" startsWednesday Western Theatre is presenting William Shakespeare's "Much Ado About Nothing" tomorrowevening at Sehome High School's little theatre. The play will run through Saturday, July 22. "The basicmotivation of the play is youthful," said director Dennis Catrell in reference to the strains of playful love and energy of "Much Ado." The story unwinds through a series of false accusations, suspicions, andrevelations towards the climax. "Much Ado About Nothing" is a well-told love story, and telling the storyis Catrell's primary concern. You may see some familiar faces from "Guys and Dolls" in "Much Ado" buthopefully not the same characters. Tickets are available at the Viking Union information desk and theticket office. 676-3873.

Computer Center Director Robert Holz; Assistant Director for Administration Dave Schlecht, Programmer Jack Veenstra,and Systems Analyst Doug Winterburn have all indicated they will be vacating Dave Schlecht, assistantdirector of the computer center. Jack Veenstra, programmer at the computer center. Mr. Toad strikesagain "The Art and Artistry of Toad and Company," is the title of the second discussion of the book of the quarter, "The Wind in the Willows," by Kenneth Grahame, at 4 p.m. tomorrow in the library presentationroom. Panel members include Lois Meyers, children's librarian for the Bellingham Public Library; HowardHarris of the anthropology department, Gene Vike of the art department and William Scott, documentslibrarian and moderator of the discussion. their Computer Center positions before next January. Holz who has been the Center's director since 1967, is resigning effective Nov. 1. "I'm just tired of the job," saysHolz, who has been struggling for several years to raise the salaries of the Computer Center staff. Hesays "it's time for me to step down and give someone else a chance" to tackle the salary crisis. Holzcites lack of support for higher education in the state government at Olympia^ as a s p e c i f i c reasonfor the inadequate salaries in the C o m p u t e r Center and throughout Western, but also s a y s hebelieves some administrators in the college hierarchy may hold some responsibility. He says thatwages outside the college in the computer p r o g r a m m i n g field have skyrocketed in recent years,and "we haven't been able to keep pace." This he says, coupled with a dim financial future for Western,could be the cause for the announced resignations in the Computer Center, and also for otherresignations which he expects will soon be announced. .Holz will continue to work part' time at Westernafter his resignation becomes final, probably working on Can-Am I, a proposed computer system linking Northwest Washington and some British Columbia colleges. Schlecht, who has been at Western since 1963, states that part of his reason tor leaving is because Holz is. "I've planned to resign for some time, but Bob's (Holz' ) resignation caused me to act," Schlect said. He said he'd only planned to stay atWestern for about 10 years when he first came. "I've been here nine years already " he said. Schlechtalso says a major reason for his decision to resign is inadequate salaries. "It's been a sore point for acouple of years. . . . It's been a year and a half since we've had a substantial raise." A l t h o u g hactually an a d m i n i s t r a t o r , Schlecht is currently being paid a civil service wage, and is beingpaid l e s s money a c t i n g as administrator than several of the people working under him. "Anytimeadministrators make less than the people they administer, something's really wrong," he says. "I thinkthis money problem is the college's fault. . . . there seems to be money around for new programs, butnot for raising salaries." Schlecht plans to go into the real estate business, mainly because "I've wanted to have my own business for a long time." Jack Veenstra says he's leaving Western for several r e a so n s . No room for advancement in the Computer Center as it now exists, the resignation of Holz andlack of a substantial salary have all convinced him to find another job. Veenstra also says there is nolonger any room for innovative work in the Center, because the 360 computer is being used to itsmaximum level, and there is no chance of the Center obtaining a new machine in the immediate future.He will be leaving for Boulder, Colorado to work on what he calls a "statistical package" for NEODATA,and will be getting "about a 20 per cent raise" in wages in the process. Systems Analyst DougWinterburn has also announced his resignation, but is currently on vacation and unavailable forcomment. Robert Holz, director of the computer center.

However,the move is not scheduled soon, according to Dr. Kenneth Jernberg, director of health services. Though"active negotiations" are under way, the clinic in Edens Hall will be. open as usual this fall. The Edenshall facility has been found to be architecturally unsuitable for use as a clinic because of its lowearthquake resistance, inadequate running water and ventilation, reasons related to the fact it was never meant to be used for medical purposes. Dr. Jernberg called the facility inadequate to handle thepresent number of patients, as well as unsuitable for practicing the best possible health care. But withinthe $106,000 a year budget of the health center, few alternatives are available. Rental of space at St.Luke's, where x-ray and lab facilities already exist, is favored by Dr. Jernberg. Duplication of these andother facilities on campus would be avoided and personnel would be available more hours. He said theprospective college clinic at St. Luke's would still be free to students and separate from the publichospital organization. Concerning student access to the new location he noted the movement of themajority of s t u d e n t s off campus concentrating just north of the college. St. Luke's would be closerto many of these people than the present location. In addition, a shuttle bus is in the planning stagebetween the campus and downtown. If it materializes, access would be i m p r o v e d for on-campusstudents. Western's health services are funded at approximately half: the per-student levels of Centraland Eastern Washington state colleges, and even a smaller beHingham business machines 1410Commercial 734-313?

If you are one of these people then Corbin Ball will make your dreamcome true. Plus, he'll pay you for it. B a l l is co n d u c t i ng psychological experiments on the effectsof alcohol on learning. The experiments are looking for physiological correlates on how learning isaffected by alcohol. The experiment takes two-and-one-half hours for two consecutive days. Thevolunteer spends the first hour drinking an alcoholic beverage and an hour and a half taking tests. Thesubject is kept naive about what or how much he is drinking for the sake of the experiment. While thesubject is drinking electrodes which lead to a polygraph machine are attached to certain parts of thesubject's body: the scalp, the forehead, ear, thumb and fingertips. The polygraph takes several p h y s io l o g i c a l graphs simultaneously. It measures brain waves, heart rate, heart rate variability, palmsweating, respiration and the amount of blood in the fingers. All these responses are measured forphysiological changes. The e x p e r i m e n t s are supported by a grant from the National Institute onAlcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and are under medical supervision. Directing the experiments is itsoriginator, Dr. Lowell Crow, of the psychology department. Ball was asked by Crow to be his researchassistant because of his interest in the polygraph. Subjects are paid $6 to participate in the experiment. Screening requirements include that the subject is 21, and that he has had experience with alcohol. I.D. is required. Great care is taken with the subject. He may stop drinking any time he wishes. "Ourprimary concern is for the subject's welfare; the experiment is secondary to that," Ball said. Subjects are always driven home and are required to stay at home for at least four hours, or until the effect wears off. A n y o n e interested in participating can contact Ball through the psychology office or at his office, 400 Miller Hall for more information. â€¢ I V l l i m i l W l l l l l l l l HORSESHOE CAFE DowntownBellingham WE NEVER CLOSE ! 3 B 3 ossaaa f FRUSTRATED?

T h e U n i t e d States government is beingasked for $7.5 million to set up the p r o g r a m , called Project Cam-Am-I. Western hopes to attainoperational costs for the first five years through the U.S. Office of Education, or a separate appropriation. Advocates of Can-Am-I say that the participating schools will be able to take over operative costs in the sixth year the program is functioning. The computer network and radio station would enable schools toshare computer-a s s i s t e d instruction and educational broadcasts. The helicopter shuttle servicewould allow freer movement of professors, guest speakers and learning materials. Over 64,000 studentswould benefit from the program, hopefully scheduled to begin this fall. Herbert Taylor, dean of facultyresearch, said that September would be the earliest date funding could be obtained. Taylor said hehopes the shuttle service can begin this fall on a trial basis with borrowed i helicopters. Experimentalcourses can be operating one year after funding is obtained, Taylor said. Conceivably, the project couldbe running at top efficiency by September,-1974. T h e t e c h n i q u e of computerized teaching is more effective in teaching subjects t h a t r e q u i r e much memorization, Taylor said. "For example, astudent can learn to speak a foreign language m o r e q u i c k l y using computer-assisted instruction.We make no pretence that this by itself can become higher education, but we do say it can handle thematerial that depends on drill and rote learning," Taylor added. The FM radio station, to be located inBellingham, will be able to broadcast over a radius of 65 miles, Taylor said. Transmission towers couldbe built on one of the San Juan Islands. Included in the plan with Western are the University of BritishColumbia, Simon Fraser University, the University of Victoria, Vancouver City College, Capilano College, Douglas College, Camosun College in Victoria, Malaspina College in Nanaimo, and Washingtoncommunity colleges in Ferndale, Mount Vernon, Port Angeles, Everett and Edmonds. Taylor said thatputting the project into operation would be a major step toward cutting waste of money and space."Ultimately, what we're really concerned with is that t h e r e are universities and colleges so close toeach other who communicate very little, if at all," Taylor said. Mental Health resources availableâ€¢P9*PPP9*a ETT EDMONDS The ages 18 to 21 may be the most confusing period of a collegestudent's life; a time when many students feel they need the help of one of the campus referral services. The problem of mental health and the college student was investigated last quarter by Margo VanWinkle, a Huxley College environmental health graduate. For a project in health education sheinterviewed Mary Robinson, the associate dean of s t u d e n t s ; the Rev. Paul Mangnano at theCampus Christian Ministry house; and Saundra Taylor, director of the counseling center. Thediscussions went on the premise that everyone is susceptible to ups and downs-in t h e i r mental state. The counselors all agreed that these types of mental anxieties were ' normal and natural occurrencesof any human being. Basically, the ministers at CCM point out to the student that they cannot solve hisproblems for him. A student has t o do it himself, Father Mangnano said. Saundra Taylor refers to theages of 18 to 21 as a transitional period. "Students start settling down in their sophomore and junioryears and start asking themselves about their future." It is a common complaint these days to find outthat friends who recently graduated with bachelor or master's degrees are now working at low payingjobs, with a high school education as the maximum requirement. Although the discussion with MaryRobinson was confidential, she also agreed with the counselors that too much emphasis is put on beinghappy, content and very sure of a position in society. This tends to depress a person who is questioning himself because he may think there is something wrong with him. A person is not going to be happyuntil he recognizes that it is necessary to reach out in order to achieve a good mental attitude. A personmust become involved insomething other than himself, he said. Of the cases seen by the counselingcenter last year, the majority were emotional problems followed by vocational and educational problems. The counseling center provides a resource for students who want to examine more thoroughly "who they are and where they are going, Taylor said. "It's important that college students realize everyone feelsdown at times. People have to stop thinking these problems are their exclusively. Everyone goes through it," Van Winkle said.

In the same motion the board resolvedto establish a Communications Council through which the three college publications, the Western Front, Klipsun and Jeopardy, would be funded and to which they would be responsible. The council would takeaffect Spring quarter. Under present policy the publications have been directly responsible to the Boardof Trustees through President Flora and the student publications council. However, during the pastseveral months a question has been raised about w h e r e the P u b l i c a t i o ns Council shouldreport. The College Services Council sent four separate proposals on the matter to the All-CollegeSenate Thursday. The four suggestions included reporting to the All-College Senate in two proposals,both the AS Board and College Services Council, or becoming departmentally related. According to theAS Board's motion, the Communications Council would develop a statement of policy and procedureaccording to a set of guidelines attached to the motion, and the editors of the three publications wouldbe held responsible for carrying out the policy. The AS Board would be responsible for publication policyand allocation of funds but not daily editorial decisions. The Communications Council could appeal to the All-College Senate any decisions of the AS Board which it felt were a threat to the publications. Theboard's position is that it cannot legally or morally "support a group which does not choose to be affiliated with" the Associated Students. Attending the meeting were more visitors than the board has had thisquarter. Rodger Painter, managing editor of the Western Front, said the Board of Trustees has delegated responsibility to the Publications Council, and this responsibility cannot automatically be switched toanother council. He said the AS Board would either be publishing separate publications or none at all.Rebecca Harris, AS Board member, repeatedly stated that the Associated Students cannot fund a non-AS group. Board member Joe Hann said that it is not fair to the students, the college or the communityfor publications to use space and equipment belonging to the Associated Students and not be affiliatedwith them. Publications fear that the AS Board will censure them by withdrawing funds, Harris said. BillDietrich, Publications Council member, said that they also fear censure from Flora and others, and thatfor maximum freedom they may try to initiate a subscription fee from students. An ad hoc committee ofthe publications council is currently investigating the feasibility of a subscription rate. An a l t e r n a t i v e to the Communications Council would be for publications to be under a senate council, in which casethey would no longer be a student activity, according to AS board members. The purpose of the board'saction, Harris said, is to establish publications as a student activity. Chairman Kennedy requested that a roll call vote be taken: five- board members voted for the motion, and two abstained. In response to theboard's action, Robert Thirsk, Publications Council chairman, said he didn't think the board had theauthority to dissolve the council. He said, "It's my understanding that President Flora approved the by-laws for the Publications Council. And only the college senate can change them. The board can'tarbitrarily drop the Publications Council or establish a Communications Council in lieu of it without theconsent of the Senate. The Senate is the only governing body that can do that, other than the Board ofTrustees." Council re-opens add!drop hearings The Academic Council has voted to reconsider itsdecision on implementation of the new add/drop rules. Acting chairman Joseph Crook announced March 6 as the date the council would re-open discussion on the new rules. The new add/drop rules whichwere approved last quarter by Academic Council has come under criticism because of its shortened drop period and its requirement that 80 per cent of all courses be successfully completed. The period duringwhich classes could be dropped would be limited to the first five days of the quarter by the new rules.Under current rules, classes can be dropped until the end of the sixth week. The new rules would allow a student to withdraw from a class after the drop period by taking a grade of "W" for the class. A "W"would be considered an unsuccessful completion. Grades of "F", "NP", "U" or unconverted "K", whichstands for an incomplete, would also be considered unsuccessful completions, but a "W" would not betaken into consideration in the calculation of the grade point average. It would be required, however, that 80 per cent of all courses taken be successfully completed. Failure to maintain an 80 per cent ratewould lead to academic probation and dismissal in much the same way as will failure to maintain a 2.0grade point average under existing rules. A major goal of the new add/drop rules was to cause thestudents to be responsible in the classes they register for. In Fall quarter 7,126 classes were dropped,nearly half of which were dropped too late to be added by students wishing to take the class. One side-effect of the decision to re-open hearings on the add/drop rules was the reversal of Academic Council'searly implementation of the "W" grading option. â€¢â€¢-â€¢ IT'S BLUNTED, just faking.

The self-study steering committee elected Jean Kruse as itsnew director Tuesday night. She will replace former director Harvey Stone. Kruse, former director ofHigginson and wife of the director of Nash, has been f a c i l i t a t o r of numerous self-study groups. As new director, Kruse said, "My first priority will be to get to everyone I can in the program and find outtheir feelings and . frustrations." . Kruse's second step will be to make a pamphlet, explaining s e l f - st u d y projects and presenting it to the faculty. Kruse will hold the position only five months. Even if thefederal grant is not renewed for self-study at the end of her term, Kruse wants to establish "good vibes"about the program so that it will continue. "It's a good educational process," Kruse said "and I believe it's viable." Even though it's a good Senate evaluation due soon Faculty relations major question by ALICE COLLINGWOOD A new concept in college governance for Western was born almost two years ago, andits progress will be reviewed soon. The All-College Senate had a slow childhood as it was organizingitself and learning about its constituencies. Many are only now beginning to recognize.its maturity. Thesenate was approved in principle by the Board of Trustees in June, 1971, and it is due for review at theend of two years. That review will determine whether the board will allow it to continue as it is or changeits constitution. If there is to be any question of the senate's effectiveness, some say it is likely to beaimed at the area of faculty-senate relations. Some senators believe challenges and non-cooperationfrom the faculty could undermine the senate's strength. Questions of the senate's powers in areas offaculty concernâ€”such as salary schedules, grievances and tenure and promotionâ€”have arisen sincethe senate was first formed. "The real problem is how to handle a small number of things which are notstudent concerns, REFERENCE TO SALARIES-Senate Chairman George Gerhold said the line between which matters the senate can handle and those it can't are blurred. such as faculty salary schedule,"Senator Robert Teshera of the geography faculty said. Teshera, who is also a Faculty Council member,said the question is who handles faculty affairs and how big that list is. He thinks students probably want a voice in tenure and promotion, which they would have were the senate to handle such matters, but hedoesn't believe they are, or should be, interested in deciding faculty salaries. Senate chairman GeorgeGerhold said the dividing line between which matters the senate can handle and those which it can't is a"very gray area." "This question has been' liffder debate ever since the senate was proposed," he said.Gerhold thinks one change that could be made in the constitution to clarify the senate's powers is insection 4.61. It says, in part: " . . . the Business and Finance Council shall appoint such committees asit deems appropriate to conduct its business. Among these committees there shall be appointed aWelfare Committee which shall have as its main function to develop and propose policies and schedulesfor salaries and fringe benefits throughout the College." Gerhold said union contracts cover most thingspertaining to faculty employment and this constitutional reference to salaries is a problem area. SenatorBrian Copenhaver of the general studies faculty believes the senate constitution will be approved by theBoard of Trustees if nothing intervenes between now and the time of the review. He thinks one of thethings that might intervene is a faculty vote against the senate. Knute Skinner, chairman of the FacultyCouncil, said the council may poll the faculty on the senate in conjunction with a review of whatrepresentation the faculty wants. One provision of the constitution allows the four senate constituenciesto organize themselves in any way they wish, with recognized agencies to represent and act for them.Teshera believes there are three alternatives for faculty representation: -Let the Faculty Council continueas a "limited-purpose" body. -Turn the functions over to the faculty members of the senate as a separate group. -Work through some collective bargaining agency. Senator Stanley Daugert of the philosophyfaculty, one of the original planners of the senate, said if the senate structure is finally approved as thecollege governing body by the Board of Trustees, the faculty still won't give up its powers. "The faculty isso jealous of its prerogatives that it isn't going to let the Board of Trustees tell it what to do," Daugertsaid. Teshera said he doesn't think both the senate and the Faculty Council will survive. He thinks thesenate is firmly established as the college decision-making body and will continue in existence. CollegePresident Charles J. Flora thinks the senate has been effective in doing the job it was set up to do-"bringing together -the various constituencies of the college" so problems can be discussed withmembers of all constituencies present. Copenhaver thinks some of the positive points the senate willhave when it is reviewed are its handling of such things as the Committee of Inquiry Report, administrative reorganization and the affirmative action program (for hiring women and minorities). ; "These point to aclear conception by the senate of its role in college life ana its willingness to act," he said. "The senateprovides a voice to the administration and the Board of Trustees that they are acting like they respect."Flora said the senate evaluation will be made during Spring quarter and that he does not yet have in mind any amendments that he will suggest regarding the senate structure. So far, he said, he is "pleased with the way it is developing." But Daugert expressed a note of uncertainty. "The.senate has lost somepower and has been challenged^ ignored and damned. It is hard to say how the review is going to go.''educational process, Kruse is frustrated with the way the program has been handled. Because of this,the new d i r e c t o r said that she understands the faculty's point of view. "Nobody really understandsthe procedure, or the self-study model for that matter," she said. "Not only is it a threat to their (thefaculty's) method of education, it's so sloppily handled, that it makes a bad impression," she said.About the self-study credit controversy, Kruse said, "something's got to be done about the way creditsare dished out." "We must show faculty, as individuals, what concrete results have come from self-study-we need their help," she added. Former director Harvey Stone is now program consultant, theposition he held last year. "I'm going to need him," Kruse said. "He's a very valuable person, and I'm glad he's staying on." PARKING LOT INCIDENT-Western student Steve Kirsop has been charged with thirddegree assault following a confrontation with security Feb. 4. Student charged: driving car at cop AWestern student was booked on charges of third degree assault following a Feb. 4 confrontation withsecurity in the Nash Hall parking lot. Steve Kirsop was driving a friend home early Sunday m o r n i n gwhen security patrolman, campus patrolman Dave Doughty approached his car and asked foridentification which Kirsop refused to produce. "I was dropping off a friend who lives at Nash Hall and Icould see no reason for the confrontation," he said. Then to avoid any further hassle, Kirsop said hestarted to leave the parking lot. The patrolman then stood in front of Jhe car, blocking it after it was inmotion, he said. Doughty then jumped onto the hood of the car as Kirsop was moving towards the exit,Kirsop said. T h e car t r a v e l ed approximately 50 to 60 feet when Kirsop's windshield was smashedby the patrolman's flashlight, according to Kirsop. Kirsop was "totally amazed by the whole ordeal." Heforesees a time when campus patrolmen, whose job is to issue tickets and protect campus p r o p e r ty , become police, enforcing actions that conflict with the rights of the students. He sees the incident as a "misunderstanding on the part of both sides as to who had the right to do what." Larry Daugert, aFairhaven lawyer, has taken Kirsop's case and the trial date will be set within a week. Security directorRobert G. Peterson, told the Front that no more information concerning the incident would be released at this time.

Louis Lallas, director of Western's Career Planning and Placement Center, saidthat "people who develop skills in looking for a job are much more successful" in finding one than people who don't have the skills. Job readiness includes letters of application, resumes, and interviewing skills. "In today's job market," Lallas said, "those who are landing jobs are those who can sell themselves. But . many students are unprepared in job readiness." In some cases, students have no idea what theywant and this has to be determined. Sometimes vocational tests are given and other times it's just a"matter of analyzing themselves. You cannot look for a position if you don't know what your goals are."When determining his employment needs, a student often wants a job that will fit in with his "lifestyle."The placement center provides information about companies and industries, and what kinds of jobs they offer. Unlike students in teacher education, who are usually "preparing for a specific teaching job,"students in the arts and sciences are entering a New rules stalled by Flora injunction very broad field ofemployment, Lallas said. He continued, "the basic needs" of both in job readiness "are still the same."The center provides step-by-step handouts, with detailed information, on the requirements for jobreadiness. Counselors at the center are available to explain the requirements. According to thehandouts, the first step of job readiness is writing letters of application and resumes. Letters should betypewritten on clean white SV^-by-l 1 inch paper and should be addressed to a specific person in orderto get proper attention. The first paragraph of the letter states the reason for writing to that particularcompany, and the second points" out specific qualifications of the writer. The last paragraph is aninvitation for further contact by mail or interview. Attached to the letter should be a one-page resume. Itshould include personal data (name, address, etc.), career objectives, education (since high school),scholastic and extracurricular information, employment experience, military status and date ofavailability. A resume serves many purposes. It can help a student determine and define his assets and liabilities, it can project his strongest qualifications and it Faculty Council declines collective bargainingjob The Faculty Council "declined the invitation" of College President Charles J. Flora to be consideredas a collective bargaining agent. In other action the council accepted the bid of Whatcom CountyPhysicians Service for faculty health insurance, and recommended guidelines for p u b l i s h i n ggrounds for promotion at its Feb. 15 meeting. Flora is asking all bodies on campus who are potentialcollective bargaining agents if they want to be considered for that job by the Board of Trustees. TheFaculty Council rejected the suggestion, with one member commenting 'that he "could not think of amore inappropriate body to take on this task." Welfare Committee chairman Willard Brown said that the bid of Whatcom County Physicians Service (W.C.P.S.) is $5 cheaper than the only other reasonablebid, which was offered by Blue Cross. He said that W.C.P.S. has also agreed to provide a bid for a major medical care program if enough faculty members do not want the comprehensive plan. T h e g u i d e l in e s for publication of grounds for promotion call for including the areas where the faculty memberexcelled. They specify that qualities which are evaluated as merely adequate not be listed. Thus, if aperson is promoted because of excellence in teaching, this would be noted. But if that person isevaluated as adequate in research, this would not be mentioned. The action is in response to Flora'srequest for guidelines on publication of promotions. Bach Mai fund drive raises $ 4 6 3 in B'ham A three-week fund raising-campaign in Bellingham has raised $463 for the rebuilding of Bach Mai hospital inHanoi. The drive, sponsored by the Human Rights Action Coalition (HRAC) and local Vietnam VeteransAgainst the War, is part of a nationwide campaign headed by Medical Aid for Indochina, Inc. All moneycollected goes directly to the fund for rebuilding the hospital which was destroyed by saturationbombing last December. Organizers of the drive see it as an important step toward what they call"popular responsibility." They believe U.S. citizens, as well as the government, must take an active rolein rebuilding Indochina. "The war was an act of our government with out funding and implied consent,"says Jeff Baloutine, a member of the HRAC, "We cannot abdicate total responsibility to the government for the rebuilding effort ahead. "With the Bach Mai hospital fund as the first step, people can expresstheir goodwill to the people of Vietnam by sending direct aid without depending upon the government todo everything for us." M e d i c a l Aid for Indochina,Inc., located in Cambridge, Mass., has set a $3million goal for the Bach Mai fund drive. In the first month of collecting, the American public donated$500,000. Baloutine said, "Response in Bellingham has been quite gratifying." can be part of hispermanent employee record and provide additional information to the employer. The resume can resultin an interview. Interviews are usually off campus, arid there is usually more than one interview for aspecific job. A preliminary interview d e t e r m i n e s if further interviewing of the candidate iswarranted. If so, an in-depth interview which covers the "life history" of the candidate and relies heavily on past experiences may be held. The student's knowledge of a company and his own background isimportant in an i n t e r v i e w . Also, many interviewers feel that personal appearance is criteria that can either win or lose a job for the applicant. ERA battles State Senate The Equal Rights Amendment^ t o the U.S. Constitution" approved by Washington's House of Representatives by a 78 to 19 vote; nowwaits for Senate approval. P r o p o n e n t s of the amendment, which would grant equal, rights underthe law to all persons regardless of sex, expect it to have a hard fight in the Senate. There are 12women in the House; two voted against it. There are no women in the Senate. To bring the amendmentto a Senate vote, the Constitution and Elections Committee must pass it and then it will be put on thecalendar for a vote in the Senate. Twenty-seven states have approved the amendment to the U.S.Constitution; 38 are needed to ratify it. College President Charles Flora has granted an injunctionagainst recent decisions of the Academic Council on course withdrawal, probation and dismissal. Theaction came at Tuesday's AS Board of Directors meeting at the request of Board Chairman JimKennedy. The rules adopted by the Academic Council would require that all unwanted classes bedropped in the first five days of the quarter, and that students complete 80 per cent of quarterly andcumulative units or be issued a warning. The rules further state that if a "K" (incomplete) is not converted by the end of the following quarter, it would be counted as an unsuccessful completion. The AcademicCoordinating Commission will now review the rules. If it supports the Academic Council rules, themeasure could still go before the All-College Senate, Kennedy said. In other business, the AS Boardapproved a motion by student Linda Ballinger to establish an ad hoc committee to prepare a studentposition on faculty tenure and promotion. The committee, which is subject to review by the AS Board,will recommend policy to the Faculty Council.

Holly 733-9982 by ROB BALDWIN Six days a week, needypersons load up with cereal, macaroni, canned fruit, beans, milk or whatever else is on the shelf at theBellingham Food Bank, on Gladstone Street. Since the Food Bank was first set up in the basement ofthe Salvation Army building 18 months ago, volunteers have waged a running battle to keep the shelvesstocked with food. According to one Food Bank worker there is a crisis every month. "We've neveractually turned anyone away, but volunteers have sometimes had to go down to the store and buy foodwith their own money." Relying at the beginning on donations from churches and private citizens, thedemand for food grew to the point where the Food Bank's board of directors opted to join the SeattleNeighbors in Need, a food relief organization funded through a grant by the federal government. A monthly shipment supplies the bunk of the bank's food. According to one of the bank's coordinators, BeaTodhunter, the Food Bank served over 900 persons last c month. ^ "Every day it seems like people 3come in that have never been here k3 before. We try to give them a balanced ^ diet, but we're alwaysrunning out of lt;a things like meat, milk and eggs." aq "Some people think people just live off the FoodBank without trying to feed themselves. There are a few we feel are doing this, but most are n o t ." Each Food Bank user's name goes into a confidential file along with such information as whether or not theyreceive unemployment compensation, food stamps, social security payments, a pension, etc. and thenumber of children in the family. This is used to estimate the bank's need and keep track of who is using its services. All age groups use the Food Bank according to Todhunter. A lot of men RUNNINGBATTLEâ€”The Food Bank tries to provide a balanced diet for people who come in, but it is alwaysrunning out of supplies. Some volunteers help stock the shelves by buying food with their own money.\IKI\G WUNCPY The college laundry has lower cost per student than any other laundry in town.

They can't live at home because their parents would be docked on their welfare checks. It's atough row to hoe." Local churches and individuals donate food and a little money and one recentneighborhood canvassing drive, organized with the help of the Army Reserve personnel and trucks, netted 40 boxes of groceries. But the Food Bank runs out of supplies every month and this June theNeighbors in Need federal grant will run out, dperiving the bank of its major supply of food. Another bankcoordinator, JoAnne Cross, hopes for a renewal of the grant on either the state or federal level. "We'vesent letters to Jackson, Magnuson, and Meeds and we're still encouraging people to talk to theirlegislators in Olympia, but we have nothing concrete. We're the most hopeful about Magnuson; he wasresponsible for the grant in the first place. When asked if larger food drives and church contributionscould make up for the loss of Neighbors in Need support, Food Bank workers said it was possible butnot probable. Similar banks in Ferndale and Lynden operate on the contributions of the town's people and churches alone, but the larger Bellingham community doesn't seem as responsive. Todhunter thinks ifthe grant is not renewed, and local contributions fail to make up the difference, the bank will have tobegin strict inspection of all applicants and start turning some away. Suggestions to avoid this havebeen: asking each person in Bellingham to donate one dollar to the bank; asking each church inBellingham to donate five dollars per month; and organizing city-wide paper drives. The Food Bank staffis determined to provide their services to anyone who needs them. As one worker said, "We'll operateany way we can." House passes 19-year-old drinking bill (The Senate Rules Committee bottled this bill Wednesday. For the second time, by a 7-6 vote, they chose not to send it to the floor.) The bill to lower the drinking age to 19 has been approved by the Washington State House of Representatives. Themeasure passed after an amendment to the bill increased the minimum age from 18 to 19. The bill isnow before the Senate Rules Committee. Its chances of reaching the floor during the current session are considered to be favorable. On the 80-17 vote for the bill, Reps. Barney Goltz, D-Bellingham, DuaneBerentson, R-Burlington and Don Hansey, R-Bellingham, voted in favor. Only Rep. Dan Van Dyk, D-Lynden voted against it. Van Dyk explained the major question involved the rights of majority, all of which were conferred by the last session except the drinking privilege. He said he couldn't support a bill which didn't recognize that question. ---------- Western Front - 1973 February 23 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, February 23,1973 Western Front 5 the â€ž western front editorials...

Q19?3 6.Mrter New council isbad idea Press repression is alive and well on Western's campus. The AS Board of Directors Mondaycapped a series of threats and ultimatums to publications by resolving to create their own"Communications Council" and have it responsible for student publications. The board decided toconstruct a new council around a policy whichâ€”less than a week earlierâ€”was labeled "unworkable" by he Student Publications Council and rejected by the College Services Council. As its rationale for theaction, the board blames the Publications Council for not affiliating itself with the AS government. Theresolution to create a new council replaced an earlier board motion to cut off all funds for publications atthe end of this quarter. What the board, in its impatience, has failed to take into account is that thecurrent Publications Council is responsible to the Board of Trustees through the college president. Acouncil so established has no authority to "affiliate" itself with Associated Students or anyone else.Also, the trustees, through the president, have authorized the current Publications Council to act for thecollege as publisher of The Western Front, Klipsun and Jeopardy. For one faction on campus to try tosupercede that authorization and claim for itself the role of campus publisher is not only dangerous, it'sridiculous. The board of directors say they will still expect the trustees to accept legal responsibility forcollege publications, even though the trustees will have no voice in how they are structured and operated. This is extremely unlikely. Another aspect of the problem that the AS board fails to recognize is that thequestion of where publications should fit into the all-college governance structure has been sent to theAll-College Senate. Until the Senate decides where publications fit in, it would be ludicrous for thepresent Publications Council to "affiliate" itself with any group. Likewise, it is just as ridiculous for anyone Senate constituency, like AS, to decide that it will be the publications' boss and act as campuspublisher. Still more ridiculous and infantile have been the "You better play ball with us or we'll cut yourfunds" ultimatums that student government has ' been sending to the Publications Council and to thepublications staffs themselves. Another flaw in the AS thinking is in the actual implementation of the"Communications Council." Its document calls for representatives from the publications staffs, from theSenate's Faculty Caucus, the Staff Council and the administration. But until the publications matter issettled on an all-college level, it is extremely doubtful that these groups will send anyone to the ASBoard's new maverick council. The basic point that the AS Board seems to miss is that the only way toinsure a free press on campus is to so structure the publication process so that no one group can takecontrol or impose its wishes. The board's- attitude toward publications demonstrates, at best, a grossmisunderstanding of the situation, and at worst, a desire for press control ala Nixon. The directors saythey have the power to back up their action because they hold the purse strings to publications. If thisproves to be the case, then it only serves to demonstrate that it's high time the publications purse strings be placed in steadier, more responsible hands. / tbe_ western front staff EDITOR: Jack BroomMANAGING EDITOR: Rodger Painter PRODUCTION: Duff Wilson EDITORIAL PHONE 676-3161SPORTS: Howard Scott ADVERTISING PHONE 676-3160 COPY EDITORS: James Heitzman, RahnLahti, Dennis Mansker, Judy Mooers, Dennis Ritchie AD MANAGER: Richard Roff GRAPHICS: ElsiVassdal, Sue Giese BUSINESS MANAGER: Terri Whitney PHOTO EDITOR: Roberi NealePHOTOGRAPHERS: Bob McLauchlan, Thomas Schultz, Jim Thomson REPORTERS: ChristineAnderson, Scott Anderson, Rob Baldwin, Alan Bauer, John Brewington, Jim Brooks, Sonja Brown, DougCockburn, Alice Collingwood, Bill Dietrich, Nicholas Gardner, Victoria Hamilton, John Harris, Bruce-Hayes, Rochelle Henderson, Heidi Henken, Tom Home, O.K.

[ letters. â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ Finds no 'love' in atheists Editor, Western Front: Iwas quite intrigued when I picked up a Western Front and read '"Militant Atheists' Counterattack," so Iopened my paper and found an article entitled "Atheists Organize Against Christians." Somehow whatI'd read up to this point just didn't bring visions of love and non-violence to my mind. And then, when Iread '"Our first target is the Campus Crusade for Christ'," I looked skyward to see if any bombs werefalling. I never could find the word "LOVE" in the article, yet God loves us all even if we are atheists whodon't know that He exists. Perhaps if these people would seek God's love both in the Bible and in theirhearts they would find that Christians aren't attacking them. Our goals are pretty much the same, ifpeople don't wake up to themselves they all will perish. Doug Coleman Snohomish, Wash. Hospital fee 'outrageous* Editor, Western Front: Your article in high praise of St. Luke's Emergency Facilities(Emergency center operates efficiently; Feb. 16, 1973) ignores the single largest problem. I quote fromthe article itself "The cost of emergency treatment varies at St. Luke's. A flat emergency fee ($10) andphysician's fee ($12) is charged to all patients." The writer seems to pass by this outrageous fee as if itwere nothing. An emergency center must not only be efficient, but must be economically open to all. Ifone has to weigh the question of whether or not to see medical help, then there is something horriblywrong. Dick Falkenbury Fairhaven Disruption policy puzzling Editor, Western Front: These Christianfanatics have gone too far! They dare proclaim their message in classes! So the campusâ€”studentsand administrationâ€”is up in arms over this clear and present danger. Dean McDonald emphasizes thatthese Christians are out of line and violate college policy. But, tell me this. During the past three or fouryears when disrupting, nihilist students took over parts of many class periods with their "take it over-shut it down, occupy and desecrate, talk no-violence yes, grant our non-negotiable demands, the college isirrelevant and dehumanizing, down with e v e r y t h i n g " messages the student body at Western, thecollege administration and Dean McDonald were curiously silent! Question: Where were the objectors to, usurping class time then? Why did it take the college approximately three years to announce a policyagainst class disrupters? Answer: Fear. Everybody knows you can squelch Christians without fear ofphysical retaliation. Christian students won't seize buildings, wire bombs or initiate physical violence.But how we all quaked in our shoes while those other persuaders held sway! Truth is, even, our collegeadministration dared not oppose them. But Christians? Everybody knows they're easy targets. Nobody's afraid of them! No, I'm not a Jesus freak or fanatic. I'm just a neutral student trying to understand thewhole scene, not just the easy part of it. Alan C. Greene 614 High Street Baby bibs for borrowersEditor, Western Front: Once again I must speak out against another golden shaft wielding policy whichis being perpetrated against us humble undergraduates. Keeping in mind several budget limitations, Isuggest that Wilson Library purchase baby bibs and feeding spoons. Such purchases would be more inkeeping with then-present library check-out policy' for faculty and graduate students. The present policyallows quarter privileges for graduate students and yearly for faculty. Undergraduates have only a twoweek check-out. I know personally of incidents where graduate students and faculty have received"casual" reminders and mild remonstrances for materials checked out eons ago, while someundergraduate students have been observed, figuratively speaking, to prostrate themselves beforecertain library zealots for going one day beyond the grade period. I personally have had to contactprofessors to obtain overdue material for my research which they had forgotten about in the trunk of theircar. That the library desires to. retrieve overdue material for use by others is admirable; that it allowsspecial privileges to some as an official policy is a personal affront to my sense of fair play. Thejustification for this policy is unclear. It is alleged that the faculty and graduate students seem torepresent a special class and ought to have special privileges. It is also alleged that their need touselibrary materials is seen as more "legitimate" than an undergraduate's need. Such justifications areat best highly suspect and in some cases a laughing matter. I challenge Wilson Library to offer anyjustifications for such policies. I might also add that some of the library staff has also expresseddisapproval of such a policy. I recognize that a new policy m e a n s erasing another t i m e - h o n o r e d academic institution. I'm not sure the faculty is ready for it. After all, I know some of the faculty arestill brooding over no freshmen beanies or homecoming dances.

WK by ALICECOLLINGWOOD A single-engine plane sped down the runway of Bellingham Airport, climbed into the sky and took four people on an unusual field trip. They took to the air to examine the natural and man-madefeatures they so often study on maps, to bring a touch of reality to their paper world. They were students in Robert Teshera's geography 460 class, the teaching of geography. The students were learning how tomake a field trip meaningful by planning one, taking part in it and evaluating its effectiveness. Their flightplan took them from Bellingham Airport to Ladner, B.C., then east to Mission City, B.C., south to LakeWhatcom and back to the airport. Using map scales, distances and the plane's speed, the students haddetermined the time needed for each leg of the trip down to one-half minute, and the plane was only twominutes late touching down at the airport. Teshera believes such a field trip is a "vehicle" for usingdifferent types of mapsâ€”flight charts, topographical sheets and othersâ€”and translating them intoreality. He said he first realized the drawbacks to earthbound geography field trips as a graduate student on a flight from Washington to Montana. As the plan passed over the Columbia River Basin, he saw theterrain in a different light, and patterns A VIEW FROM ABOVE-Jim Smith and Robert Teshera look downat terrain surrounding Bellingham.

"I saw flying as a means oftranslating between map and real earth," he said. Jim Smith, a graduate geography student who planned the leg of the trip between Ladner and Mission City, B.C., said the main objectives of the flight were toview a big city, a couple of major river systems and farmland development. Smith, who has taughtgeography at the junior and senior high school levels for six years, said there are still a number ofgeography teachers who take the "capital city, highest mountain, main product of a country" approach toteaching geography. "They don't try to convey why the people of a region live the way they do," he said.Smith thinks this approach stems from competition among teachers to have their students get highmarks in the National Achievement Test, which asks such questions. "I want to teach them somethingthey can put to use in later lives." And part of effectively teaching geography, Teshera said, is makingfield trips mean something Â£j| to the students. p[ "The motivation for this class project is 0| recognitionof the fact that most field trips in A ---------- Western Front - 1973 February 23 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, February 23, 1973 Western Front 7 imously popular unaware that it is from the University of likeKappa's are [fused to it this way," ends that are guys and lot of things together, like skating parties andjam sessions."

Sue Bissonette, who lived in Mathes, alsolikes the presence of the opposite sex. She said that there were guys in Mathes Hall anyway. With bothsexes present, "the men check on the women's behavior and vice-versa," said Preston. About thewomen, she said, "They've got male company, so they don't have to sneak." She said that competitionamong girls for men's attention is less than on an all-girl floor. "People thought there would be pairing up," said Colleen Dinsmore, third floor's resident aide.

Shannon Point Marine Center construction begins,open to all Construction began on a $354,522 laboratory-classroom at Shannon Point Marine Centernear Anacortes, with a ground breaking ceremony last Tuesday. College President, Charles J, Flora, and the director of Shannon Point, William C. Summers of Huxley College, were among the attendingofficials. The facility will be administered by Western. Its services will be available for use by academicdepartments and cluster colleges at Western as well as by students from a consortium of statesupported colleges. - The consortium members are: Central and Eastern Washington State Colleges,Skagit Valley College and E d m o n d s and Everett Community Colleges. Students from any stateinstitution of higher education will be able to study at the facility. The laboratory-classroom building is athree-story masonry structure, with exterior walls of giant brick, reinforced concrete floors and a,red;cedar-shake roof. Shops, a receiving area, a lecture hall and wash-up facilities are to be located inthe daylight basement, with instructional laboratories and aquarium space on the first floor.

A long agenda faces the All-CollegeSenate Monday night, with items ranging from administrative reorganization to internal publications.College President Charles J. Flora gave the senate his proposal for administrative reorganization inJanuary, and a senate ad hoc committee has been working on suggested revisions. The plan calls forchanges in lines of responsibility for administrators. A College Services Council p r o p o s a l for internal communications will be presented to the senate for consideration. It calls for making FAST, the faculty and staff newsletter, the disseminator of information for faculty. This would include policy statements,agendas and minutes of meetings and actions of college agencies, as well as-the regular offerings of the newsletter. The proposal also encourages The Western Front to publish the contents of the studentactivities bulletin, which would be discontinued. The daily bulletin would be posted on all conspicuousbulletin boards and sent to the Associated Students, the Viking Union staff and academic departments. The Executive Committee will also make a recommendation for formation of a committee to review the senate. The Board of Trustees requested the review when it approved the senate in principle almost two years ago. The committee will e v a l u a t e the s e n a t e 's effectiveness and make any .recommendations for changes it thinks are necessary. A six-man committee is suggested by theExecutive Committee, composed of the heads of each of the four senate constituencies (students,faculty, administrators and staff) and two senate faculty members. The senate Committee on Councilsand Committees will present some information on the affirmative action program for hiring of women andminorities.

TO BE COMPLETED THIS FALL-An artist's sketch of what the Shannon PointMarine Center will look like when completed. Construction began this week. office-laboratories, dry labs,a darkroom and administrative offices are planned. An electrical heating system will eliminate emissions into the air at the laboratory facility. Fluorescent lighting will be installed. All structural elements willremain exposed for low maintenance and construction cost. Floors will be bare concrete with interior,walls having exposed masonry except for a portion on the second floor. There are no suspendedceilings or other cover-up materials. Shannon Point is located on 71 acres immediately west of theWashington State Ferry Terminal at Anacortes. The site contains 2,900 feet of shoreline a freshwaterpond and a forest area. The Marine Center was developed primarily for undergraduate instruction andresearch in the marine sciences. The laboratory will complement graduate-level research facilitiesoperated by the University of Washington at Friday Harbor. Attempts have been made to make the newbuilding as unobtrusive as possible. It probably will not be possible to view it from a distance, exceptfrom the air. Completion of the building is scheduled for fall of 1973. Included in the project in addition to the laboratory and classroom building are an access road, a parking area and a sea-water pumpingsystem. A small residence unit, a visitors' center and a conference center are tentatively planned forlater phases of development.

But today Allan Kaprow is happening at Western, organizing one of the participatory art forms for which he has become famous. Kaprow is a painter, sculptor, critic, designer of environment and primeinventor of the spontaneous "happening," an art form that has spread world wide and one in which he isinviting Western students to take part. The Happening blurs art and life, using t w e n t i e t h centuryjunk, creativity and environment to blend everyday experience into slightly wild activities that reflect onpeople and what they do. Kaprow's Western happening will be unique, enlisting the participation of asmany Western students as want to â€¢ volunteer into an afternoon-long event that will begin at noontoday. A discussion of the.happening will follow at 8 p.m. in the Viking Union Lounge. Kaprow'sHappening is sponsored by the Continuing Symposium on the Contemporary Arts, the NationalEndowment For the Arts and the Whatcom Museum Society. Students interested in participating inKaprow's art should gather in the Viking Union Lounge at noon today. Gene Garber of the English faculty says that Kaprow will use 100 to 150 people or more. Kaprow stresses that his fluid art form is to beexperienced, not just observed. He has been studying Western and Bellingham since yesterday,deciding what form the happening will take. Teams of participants will probably be sent all overBellingham to perform their role in the production. Garber advises a sack lunch be taken by .participants. Kaprow has organized more than 100 happenings in the past, some of which have included a mockmurder and funeral, a marriage between a girl and a compact car, playing a Beatles record in arefrigerator and making a jelly sandwich out of an automobile hood. Â» A Happening called the"Courtyard" involved the erection on a 30 foot high frame mountain covered with a tarp in a hotelcourtyard. Actors on three hotel floors shouted at each other across the mountain as it erupted withblack paper balls, dishes, and pots and pans. A girl in a night gown listening to a transistor radioclimbed to the top of the mountain with considerable sensuality, followed by mock press photographerswho took pictures of the girl as she struck cheesecake poses. Then a second mountain descended fromwhere it had been suspended upside down above the courtyard. The Happening's climax came when thetwo mountain peaks joined, swallowing the girl. Kaprow has been using the debris, smells, lights, andsounds of civilization for 20 years to develop first an art that surrounded the viewer, called theEnvironment, and then his more informal and changing Happenings, set in fields, breweries, and woods.Kaprow stresses that the Happening mixes art and life, occurs only once, and makes time variable anddiscontinuous. His erasure of distinctions is reflected in that his work has been discussed in journals ofpoetry, painting, dance, architecture, music, drama, education, and in Time Magazine under "ModernLiving." Kaprow, 45, who has studied painting with Hans Hoffman and music with John Cage, is anAssociate Dean at the California Institute of the Arts. His work has been exhibited in major museums inAmerica and Europe, and he has won the Copley Foundation Award and a Guggenheim Fellowship. 'The Getaway' is tasteless by DAVE PETERSON Relying on the amount of bullets fired instead of acting,"The Getaway" is a tasteless robbery thriller with McQueen and MacGraw terribly miscast. The storytakes place in Texas where recent prison p a r o l e e "Doc" McCoy (McQueen) and his wife Carol (AliMacGraw) are told to rob a bank of a huge sum or else see Doc back behind bars. T a k i n g twopeculiar henchmen to do the basics, the McCoys succeed, but one of their cohorts shoots a cop. Backat the rendezvous the remaining henchman, Rudy (Al Lettieri), attempts to take the money and run but,alas, Doc draws first and gives him five or six bullets into his bullet-proof vest. The McCoys then drive to the instigator's home, she shoots him and the dynamic duo take the money and run. From here on outSam Peckinpah's direction delights in showing the contorted features of bullet-riddled men as a line ofred marks the very methodical escape of the McCoys. Steve McQueen as Doc, the gun-slinging, wife-slapping meanie, does his best acting with his shotgun instead of his mouth or vocal chords. I guessLecture series starts Sunday A concert and lecture series titled "Sundays at Three" will be offered bythe Center for Continuing Studies beginning Sunday. The series will feature a variety of programs inmusic and the arts at 3 p.m. each Sunday, in the presentation room of Wilson Library. Sunday's offering will be "Yevtushenko: A Voice of Russia and the World." The Readers' Theatre from the University ofWashington will present selected poems, autobiographical writings, thoughts and music whichexemplify the Russian poet, Yevengney Yevtushenko. Other programs in the series will include a"lightscape" presentation combining music and visual imagery by Paul Dusenbury; a concert featuringmusic of Northern India with Zakir Hussein (son of Alia Rakha who accompanies Ravi Shankar) on theTabla Dru; and a presentation of paintings of various historical periods by Thomas Schlotterback,associate professor of art at Western, who will acquaint the audience with the character of the peoplewho lived during those times. The audience will have an opportunity to talk with the performers whilerefreshments are servedâ€”exotic teas and coffees from the Fairhaven Spice Shoppe. Admission to oneshow is $1.50 for adults and 50 cents for children. Series tickets cost $6 for adults and $1.50 for children under 12 and will only be sold prior to the first performance. all good actors lay an egg once in awhile.His dense, dull wife Carol is played terribly by Ali MacGraw to no real fault of her own abilities exceptthat she took the part. The first two words she says are, "I'm sorry," and maybe she was. Possiblynoting that the relationship between Doc and Carol was not erotic, an obscene subplot hatches on filmbetween Rudy and Fran. As far as the action of the movie is concerned this weird diversion is a flatabortion. If Peckinpah liked to direct actors as much as showing the viewer in slow motion that hisbullets, indeed, hit their target, he might find a good movie with his name on it. But this is not it.

At left is Ryan's mother Ard with clinic nurse Mrs. G. Salisbury giving the shot. Health department offers many community services by PATT JOHNSONMany students think the Whatcom County Health Department is synonymous with VD checkups andPlanned Parenthood. Although these are the best-known services to the college community, thedepartment offers many other diversified services. The biggest single program sponsored by the HealthDepartment at 509 Girard is immunizations. It is the community center for vaccines and overseas shots.There is a sliding fee schedule for those who can pay. This program is geared for the general populationand is open every afternoon. The fastest-growing program is the Well Child program. This programprovides examinations for babies to see that they are growing properly. Patients get routineimmunizations. Also included in the program are classes to teach mothers how to raise their children.This is a free program designed for low-income people and is held mornings by appointment. There isalso a free tuberculosis outpatient treatment clinic which includes about 1,000 patients. X-rays and drugs are administered to patients who need them. Another free service is the Venereal Disease clinic heldevery afternoon by appointment. College students comprise one-half of the Health Department's load.Infectious cases are treated and interviewed for contacts who are advised to contact the clinic or go totheir private physician for treatment. The Conservation of Hearing program is a free service designedmainly for preschool-age children. Children suspected of having hearing problems can have their hearingchecked at the Health Department. Schools are required by State law to check pupils' hearing everyother year. Children who have a hearing a loss are treated at the Health Department or sent to a privatedoctor. A free Mental Retardation Diagnostic Service also geared for young children offers completetests for children suspected of being retarded. Through a nursing service, clinic nurses work as I schoolnurses for schools that don't hire their own. These include Blaine, Ferndale, Meridian, Mt. Baker andNooksack school districts. A Family Health program provides counseling to financially or otherwisedeprived families on what sort of medical care is needed for the family and where to find it. TheCommunity Health program maintains a continuing communicable disease surveillance for the county.For this purpose, a complete stock of materials and mailing containers for sending specimens to theState laboratory is kept at the Health Department. The Mental Health and Illness program advises people of where to find help. A psychologist and nurse on the staff investigate complaints by family or neighbors and either advise the ill person about treatment or seek a commitment through the courts. There is alsoa clinic which provides further treatment to patients returning from institutions. The birth and deathcertificates of people who are born or die in Whatcom County are obtained and on file at the HealthDepartment. The food handler's test for restaurant workers is given at the Center. Environmental Healthspecialists also licence and make periodic inspections of food service "establishments to upgradesanitary standards. Health Department officials inspect and sample milk at both dairies andpasteurization plants to ensure proper production of milk and milk products. They also inform consumersof potential health hazards associated with raw milk consumption. Officials also sample public andprivate water supplies to ensure that water sources are free from contamination and to requireconstruction of water facilities which provide safe, adequate water. Sewage tanks are also inspected toeliminate faulty systems and to reduce sewage pollution of underground and surface waters. After a fullday of these programs, three nights a week the facilities are opened to Planned Parenthood. This is oneof the better-known programs at the clinic. Planned Parenthood has its own board, but the HealthDepartment handles grants for it and donates the building and some help. As Dr. Phillip Jones, directorof the clinic stated, the Whatcom County Health Department is "basically a double-shift clinic." New poli sci major-minor approved A new major-minor concentration in political science to be offered in Fallquarter, 1973, has been approved by the Academic Council. The new concentration will be an alternative to the present requirements for political science majors. The total course requirement, which variesbetween 104 to 119 credits, satisfied both a major and minor. Several courses are required that wouldsatisfy general e d u c a t i o n requirements, including a number of classes outside the political science department. Other departments to have courses in the concentration are English, speech, sociology,psychology, economics, business administration, mathematics and H u x l e y C o l l e g e o fEnvironmental Studies. Students wishing to become interns will have a choice of two programs. Thelegislative internship will involve working with the state legislature in Olympia. The administrativeinternship will involve working in a government office, probably in Bellingham. Class offered on (year)1250 The year 1250 is the subject of a course being offered Spring quarter by the medieval studiescolloquium.

Viks stop EOC, win 2nd in Evco Western's basketball team earned a second place finish in theEvergreen Conference by beating Eastern Oregon College, 90-62, in the Big Blue's last regular seasongame, Saturday. The Vikings were led by the team's three seniors, Mike Buza, Mike Franza and TomMount, appearing in their last regular game for Western. Among them the "seniors combined for 62points in their farewell performance. Mount was high scorer for the game with 25 points. Franza hit 21and Buza had 16. "I was real proud of the way the seniors played," Viking coach Chuck Randall said ofthe game. "Mount had one of the best scoring nights of his career." Each of the retiring Viks received a standing ovation from the Carver Gym crowd when they left the game in the second half. Buza left withWestern on top by nearly 30 points. The San Jose, Calif., teammates exited from their last regular^ames via the foul route. Mount picked up his fifth with minutes left and his Mitty High School classmate, Franza, charged for his final foul 30 seconds later. The Big Blue of next year then took over andenjoyed themselves as the Viks coasted to their 28 point victory margin. Mount scored the first eightpoints for the Vikings and hit 10 of 15 from the field for the game. Western had little trouble with theMountaineers, breaking a 12-12 deadlock at 11:51 in the first half and jumping to a 24-12 lead fourminutes later. In the second half the three seniors quickly ran the 40-30 point halftime lead to a 20 point margin. In spite of the scoring edge, Randall was not over joyed by his team's performance. "Theyplayed good enough to win, Saturday," he said. "But they were kind of down after beating EasternWashington the night before. Top pointman for the Mounties was Jack Easter with 18 points.

Hoopstresses run victory stringto 17 Simon Fraser University (SFU) and the University of British Columbia (UBC) junior varsity wereadded last weekend t o the women's varsity basketball team's string of 15 straight victories. Westerncame back from a week plagued with injuries and illnesses to barely defeat SFU 48-45 and UBC 55-53.Claudia Haaker (6-0) started her first game of the season in place of the Viks' usual center TheresaNafziger (6-1) who was on the bench recovering from an illness. Alice Textor started the Viks' scoringagainst SFU three minutes into the first quarter with a lay-in off of a steal by Kathy Hemion and a keypass by Trena Page. SFU's center Sheila Strike counter-attacked with a five foot shot from the center of the key. Strike went on to score 20 points in the game. Hemion scored eight points in the first quarterto lead the Vikings to a 16-4 advantage. Western continued to control the game in the second quarterwith its fast break lay-ins bringing the halftime score to a one-sided 27-12.

The UBC jayvees started an effective full court press early in the second quarter and tied the game up 21-21. The combined efforts of Haaker, Hemion,Textor and Geri Campbell settled the frantic Vikings down to recapture the lead 31-27. Fatigue took itstoll on Western in the third quarter and UBC crept back even with the Vikings 38-38. "I think we reallyplayed well considering we had many players fighting illnesses," Viking Coach Lynda Goodrich said."Claudia Haaker came off the bench and did an excellent job."

The Vikings travel to Ellensburg to match up against Washington State University(WSU) and Central Washington. Both WSU and Central will be leading contenders for the regionaltournament crown Little Blue beats Falcons Jumping out to a huge first half lead, Western's freshmanbasketball team held off several attempted rallies to defeat Vancouver, B.C. City College last week, 71-51. The win gave the Little Blue an 8-9 season record with one game remaining on their schedule.Western's hot-shooting and rebounding in the first half gave the Vikings a 45-17 lead at the intermission.The Viks' defense held the Falcon offense to only one shot most of the time, usually from long range. Inthe second half, Vancouver put on a rally at the start of the half, outscoring Western 11-0 in the first four minutes. The Falcons closed the gap to 13 at one point, outscoring the Vikings 21-7 before Westernfinally caught fire to close the game out with a rally of its own. The Vikings' "mini-offense" again led theway for Western as Bob Hoefel, Jamie Greene and Ken Kelley, all under six feet tall, scored 43 ofWestern's points. Hoefel, the team's leading .scorer, hit nine-of-12 shots from the field and finished with22 points to lead all scorers. Greene scored 11 and Kelley had 10. Hoefel and Randy Jorissen led theLittle Blue's board attack with 10 rebounds each as Western out-rebounded VCC, 57-48.

Thesix member team will face Southern Oregon and Central. These are the only schools in the conferenceto field swim teams. The Viks will be sending four swimmers, Tom Ward, Don Williams, Bruce Johnsonand Paul Simmerly, and two divers, Robin Allen and Doug Brown. Ward, this year's captain, willprobably be swimming the 100 and 200 yd. butterfly and with the 50 yd. freestyle. Williams, along withWard, will be swimming the 100 and '200 butterfly and the 500 yd. freestyle. Johnson will swim in the100 yd. and 200 yd. backstroke and the 500 yd. freestyle. Simmerly will round off the team with the 100 and 200 yd. breaststroke and the 200 yd. individual medley. All four swimmers will enter the 400 yd.medley relay and the 800 yd. freestyle relay. Both divers will compete in the one and three metercompetition. Allen is a former Evco diving champion. which will be. fought over next week at Western.Western took second to WSU in last year's tournament and barely defeated the Cougars 53-47 in theironly meeting this season. WSU's main offensive threat is 6-5 center Jennifer Gray. Gray was out withan injury in the Viking's previous game against the Cougars and may make a big difference in tomorrow's game. A win over WSU will give the Vikings the i psychological advantage when they meet the Cougars in the regional tournament. Both teams have a good chance of making the finals since they are the twotop seeds. Central will be out to revenge its close 47-43 loss to the Viks earlier this year. The Wildcats'scrappy playing brought them back from a 21-13 halftime score to take the lead twice in the fourthquarter. "Central is always tough," Coach Lynda Goodrich said. "It should be a real dog fight." Westerndestroyed Central's ho'pes for the regional championship last year by knocking the Wildcats out of thetournament in a semi-final game. Western's chances for a double victory tomorrow lie in its ability tomaintain a fast break pace. "If our running game is on neither team will be able to stop us," Goodrichsaid.

Cries of fiscal agony andhowls of "discrimination!" are ricochetting around campus in letters and memos. Mel Davidson, facultycouncil chairman, said that "on most of it, I don't see what choice we've got." He said the ExecutiveCommittee of the Faculty Council approved of Flora's recommendations "in the sense that they are bitterly necessary." He explained: "This is a good time to take advantage of the financial crisis to chop outthings that we haven't had the courage to take a hard look at before," he said. "His (Flora's) early-closingsuggestion, ideally, is the way to fly, but I guess it would be impractical in the long run." Davidson saidhe was surprised at the proposed cuts in the music and foreign language departments, "but there mightbe good reasons for them." Davidson said the president had to have all feed-back by Friday so that hecan prepare his recommendations for the next Board of Trustees meeting. Phillip Ager, chairman of theMusic Department, said he wasn't sure how to interpret Flora's recommendation to "eliminate all statesupported individual instruction effective fall, 1972." "If individual instruction is put on a fee basis then it'spretty discriminatory against one set of students. It's the only part of the report that suggests thatstudents should pay fees in addition to tuition for what they have to have." Ager was unsure of whetherthe individual instruction policy would apply to other state schools or just to Western. "If it's notduplicated in other state colleges it would be disastrous. Many students would switch schools and I don'tthink we'd have a music major much longer. There will'be a college-wide meeting at 4 p.m. today in theMusic Auditorium to discuss the budget recommendations. President Flora will be available to answerquestions concerning campus problems caused by the proposed budget cuts. Possible budget cutswould include the elimination of all state-supported individual music instruction, elimination of college-supported intercollegiate sports, combination of the Men's and Women's Physical Education Departments or a possible six-week spring session during the second year of the biennium. He said that individualinstruction, two-thirds of which is handled by faculty members, is vital to the music major. "It's a lab formusic majors," he said. "It's the single most central activity that a music major takes part in." "The whole thing is pretty disturbing, but then the whole fiscal situation of the college is pretty disturbing," he added.

Budgetary ConsiderationStudent Credit Hours Cost $4.22 on Average By RON GRAHAM Managing Editor One of the guidingfactors used by President Charles Flora in suggesting budget reductions was monthly teaching costs per student credit hour (SCH). The average instructional cost for all of Western Washington State College is $4.22 per student credit hour, with the most expensive department cost per student $8.18 (Music) andthe least expensive cost $1.77 (General Education, according to Flora's report.

Bookstore Board, ASAC Involved in Power-play By SUSAN GAWRYS Front Reporter TheBookstore Board, which hasn't met since Mar. 4, is involved in another power hassle with the AssociatedStudent Activity Commission (ASAC). Bookstore manager Ray Knabe will retire July 1, and a newmanager will be needed. Howard Mitchell, chairman of the bookstore board, said that assistant managerGeorge Elliot will be the new manager. Mitchell said that Elliot has been given training and will beassuming control at the end of August. ASAC Chairman Rich Hass said that ASAC makes the decisionon who will- take over Knabe's job. As part of the Viking Union staff, the bookstore manager is underASAC jurisdiction, he said. "When there's a vacancy, someone shouldn't automatically get it," Hasssaid. "We have an obligation to interview people." Hass was commissioned by the AS Legislature towrite a letter to Mitchell, reminding him of a bill passed at the end of winter quarter: ". . . the ASLegislature remind the Bookstore Board of its obligation to notify ASAC prior to any openings in thebookstore management so that ASAC may begin interviewing applicants for the position." Hass addedthat, "Mitchell ought to be replaced. He hasn't been fulfilling his duties. He's being stubborn about thewhole thing. His empire is being stepped on." As to the board's irregular meetings, Mitchell said, "Weare waiting for student government to react to the rebate policy." He said a letter about it was sent to ASbut nothing happened. AS President Steve Cooper noted that the students passed the rebate policy inthe spring election. "AS clearly has the power," he said. The board still needs a student representativeto replace Les Savitch, who is in National Guard training, and Reed Merril, who resigned. Cooper saidthat he had a notice in the bulletin but no one applied for the position. The bookstore board is required tomeet once a month and report to AS. ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 25 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, May 25, 1971 Western Front 3 Budget Cuts Upset Faculty (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Part of Flora's recommendation Departments read, "beginning fall, 1972, intercollegiate athletics to be t e r m i n a t e d or to become self-supporting." "We are figh'ting for our lives," William Tomaras, chairman ofthe physical education department, said in a letter to faculty and students. "Of all the non-academicactivities we have up here, athletics is of more interest to the students and general public than any other. We fully expect to take a fair share of the necessary budget reductions, but we do not feel our fair share should be extinction," he said. Tomaras said that the present budget for the physical educationdepartment is about $80,000 and that revenue from ticket sales amount to only $8,-10,000. "Evidentlyour administration does not recognize or is unwilling to place a high enough priority on athleticcompetition to retain the program in a time of crisis," he said. "There is no vote scheduled. There is notomorrow. The president makes it quite plain that he favors the alternative which includes the eliminationof athletics. "We have what many people off our campus regard as a model athletic program in aneducational setting. We are proud of our athletes and coaches and their achievements and we'd like tobe able to continue .to provide the same opportunities for current and future generations of students," hesaid. Flora's recommendation for the Foreign Languages Department is to "reduce commitment by 50per cent, effective fall, 1972." Walter Robinson, chairman of the Foreign Languages Department, saidthat the cutback "would turn the calendar back to the year 1961 for this department. "It would appearthat through the sacrifice of 50 per cent of the faculty, staff and programs of this department, all otherdepartments and programs might be spared an immediate bloodletting," he said. "It is obvious that anysense of security other disciplines might derive from this brutal and ruthless decimation of the ForeignLanguages Department would prove short-lived." Robinson said he saw the recommendation as an effortto i m p l e m e n t the C u r r i c u l um Commission's attempt at abolishing the departmental structurethat Western recently rejected. "I hope that all departments will join me in protesting this unfair,discriminatory diminution, if not complete abolition, of a valid academic area," he said. "The effect of thissuggested curtailment of our program would not only destroy our majors in all a r e a s - F r e n c h ,German, Spanish, Russian, and Classics, both for the B.A. and B.A. in Education, together with ourfledgling Master's program-but would also provide inadequate resources for our service role to othergraduate and undergraduate programs," he said. He said that if the proposal were enacted, only a"token" foreign language program could be offered. "No other department would suffer such drasticcurtailment in actual faculty," he said. "The College of Ethnic Studies is offered the option of reducingunit costs through wider student participation or reducing faculty. Our department is not offered thisoption." WALTER ROBINSON He added that implementation of the cutbacks to his department "canonly result in a program characterized as less than mediocre for Western." Flora's recommendation forthe placement office is to "reduce to the level of record keeping only," effective fall, 1971. WILLIAMTOMARAS Louis T. Lallas, placement office director, said the implementation of Flora's proposal "wouldhurt very much in terms of services we could give students." "Record keeping is important, but ourrecruitment function is the real guts of the program," he said. Deanship Race Down to Two Candidates A field of 63 candidates for the Dean of Western position has been narrowed down to two by the DeanSelection C o m m i t t e e , and the final recommendations will be made to President Charles FloraThursday, selection committee chairman Alta Hansen told the Front last Friday. Richard Purtill,assistant professor of philosophy, and William Bultmann, professor of history, are the two candidateschosen by the selection committee. The committee is composed of four faculty members and twostudents who were charged by Flora in mid-April to find a person from within the college to replace FredKnapman, the current dean. Knapman's one-year appointment was primarily a stop-gap move to fill thepost until another dean could be found. Like Sen. Eugene McCarthy's wife, Richard Purtill says he isn'tmeasuring any curtains for the White House. "I can't imagine me being acceptable to theadministration," Purtill said Friday. He told the small group of students who gathered to talk with himthat his chances of becoming dean "are probably very small." Purtill likened his standing for the position to McCarthy's bid for the presidency: "I am standing to make my voice heard," he said. During thediscussion he attacked the administration for its recent "arbitrary, uninformed budget cuts." "Theprograms were arbitrarily cut at the whim of the administration," he-told students. Purtill contended thatfaculty should have the last word in such cuts and also in all other major decisions. "When it doesn'thave the last word, I and most of the better teachers will leave Western," he said. The problem Westernnow faces is that "the faculty doesn't trust the administration and the administration doesn't trustfaculty," he said. "And I suspect the students don't trust either." "Administrators tend to forget why thiscollege is up here on the hill," he said. RICHARD PURTILL Purtill said he doesn't consider himself anexperienced administrator though he has been chairman of the philosophy department and served a two-year term on the Faculty Council. " I f you want an experienced administrator, you don't want me,' hetold the students. An experienced administrator often has a certain cast of mind that "it's always beendone this way and shouldn't change," Purtill warned the students. Though he doesn't see himself asacceptable to the administration, Purtill said the majority of the faculty share his views. The buildingtension between faculty and administration has been developing over quite a few years, he pointed out. P r e s i d e n t Harvey Bunke's " administration proved a "disaster," President Paul Woodring allowed thefaculty to run things, and President Flora has been influenced by the provost and deans, Purtill said. "As an Academic Dean, R. D. Brown was a disaster," he continued, and "Knapman has been in a poorposition since he was appointed for just one year." Purtill further charged that Knapman has beentreated "shabbily" by keeping him on a chemistry professor's salary. Several of Flora's recommendedbudget cuts were attacked by Purtill as poor choices. The elimination of the Library ScienceDepartment, the combination of the Technology and Home E c o n o m i c s Departments, the e l i m i na t i o n of state-supported individual instruction for music and the 50 per cent reduction in the foreignlanguages department were singled out by Purtill. William Bultmann, chairman of the history department since 1968, has been offered deanships before, but decided to accept this nomination for Dean ofWestern because "there should be people in the administration who have a solid background in historyand math." Although he admits he'll miss teaching, the 49-year-old history professor felt his teachingbackground will be beneficial if he becomes dean. "You should have someone who is fresh out ofteaching rather than a life-long administrator. A dean should know the issues and know what thestudents think," he said. "That's why I'm glad one of the outside people didn't get nominated." Bultmannsees the dean's job as a fine balance between keeping the same quality at Western while working within the present budget cutbacks. "The dean will have a defensive job; defending what we have, rather thanpromoting something new," he said. "Whoever gets the job will be known as the Austere Dean becauseof the budget cutbacks." If Bultmann receives the deanship, he said he will continue along the samelines as the present dean, Fred W. Knapman, and build on what he has already done. He said it will behis duty to take a careful look at the new programs developing at Western "and very carefully helpingpeople who have good programs to advance them." WILLIAM BULTMANN "We have some damn gooddepartments already," he said, "and a dean ought to do everything to help maintain these departments."Bultmann said the dean's real power lies in his ability to use his personality as a persuasive force toconvince President Flora and Provost Sargent on new programs. "His job is to encourage leadership,"Bultmann said. "But with the current cutbacks, it's going to be rough as hell. He's going to have to lookfor quality in the programs. "But then you have to determine what is quality. This is the dean's job." One of Bultmann's concerns is maintaining the academic standards at Western. He wants to make sure thata degree from Western will mean something wherever the student goes. "If the degree from Westerndoes not mean anything, then the degree is no good," he said. Bultmann said he will watch the different departments through student opinion, how the faculty is regarded throughout the nation and by its growth pattern. ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 25 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, May 25, 1971 Front Editorials.... " To comfort the afflicted and to afflict thecomforted" Budget-Faculty Dilemma President Flora's budget- cutting recommendations have soinfuriated a number of key faculty members that the current rift between the faculty and administrationmay explode into a major feud in coming months. Dr. Richard Purtill, one of two apparent leadingcandidates for the Dean of Western post in Old Main, is using his platform to denounce some of theadministration's policies. Purtill, an associate professor and acting chairman of the PhilosophyDepartment, has publicly charged the college administration with failure to consult the faculty beforerecommending drastic cuts in certain departmental areasâ€”one such cut would slash the ForeignLanguages Department budget by 50 per cent beginning fall quarter, 1972. T h e f a c u l t y â€” n o t t he administrationâ€”should have the final word concerning matters which directly affect the collegecurriculum, Purtill contends. We have reason to believe he speaks for a majority of the faculty. We agree that the administration should have t h o r o u g h l y reviewed the recommended budget cuts with thevarious The Money Squeeze concerned department heads. The chairman of the Foreign LanguagesDepartment, who obviously was surprised by the president's recommendations, can be excused forcalling the proposal discriminatory. Without more specific administration rationale, we cannot seriouslyconsider many of the administration's recommendations. How the Executive Committee of the FacultyCouncil can endorse the president's proposalsâ€”even reluctantlyâ€”is beyond us. Naturally, to offset the college's staggering $2.4 million deficit for the next biennium beginning July 1, some blood-letting willhave to take place on the departmental level. We only hope the administration is taking enough time toconsider every possible implication of cutting back some departmental activities in drasticproportionsâ€”including foreign languages, music and athleticsâ€”before making final decisions. Weencourage your participation in the public budget session with President Flora at 4 p.m. today in theMusic Auditorium. â€”John Stolpe Hopefully, the current money squeeze will lead to greater interest bythose in the college community about where their money goes. The money squeeze also might force the college to take a closer look at the kind of education it is providing and do something to improve it. Itfurther might be hoped that the money squeeze will serve as a unifying force, pulling together themembers of the college community in a concentrated effort to deal with the situation which faces us. Ifsome of the barriers and suspicions were broken down the college could become a more personalized,cooperative effort, dealing with the problem of education in the demanding period of economic stresswhich is upon us. It is doubtful that such will be the case. Even though students are now aware thattuition is going up $87 next year ($447 compared to $360) and will be $135 above the present $360 in1972, they still don't have any idea what their money goes for. While the budgets are being decided bythe AS Legislature, Associated Students Affairs Commission and other college bodies, the one voiceconspicuously absent is that of individual students. The various forms of education have been criticizedand defended as long as there have been alternative forms. There is no real reason to expect that thepresent fiscal crisis will bring any meaningful changes in the way education is run at Western. Beforeeducation can make any real changes there will have to be a widespread change in attitudes byeveryone; legislators, parents, citizens, students, teachers and administrators. If anything, the problemscreated by the fiscal crisis at Western have tended to alienate and polarize factions of the campuscommunity. Faculty attacked President Flora when faculty reductions were announced. Students don'tappear to be too interested in the whole thing. As usual, they will probably be subject to the whim ofdecisions made in the struggle between the administration and the faculty. Whatever conciliatory bonestossed to students will merely be consolations to "keep the people happy." â€”Ron Graham EDITOR:John Stolpe MANAGING EDITOR: Ron Graham ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Bob Taylor COPY EDITOR: JimAustin ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR: Larry Lemon SPORTS EDITOR: Kent Sherwood PHOTO EDITOR:Dave Sherman ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR: Loren Bliss STAFF REPORTERS the western FRONT"The Leading College Newspaper in Washington State" GENERAL ASSIGNMENT: Glen Jones, JimThomson, Pat Brennen, Mike Kerr, Rick Ries, Marilee Pethtel, Dianne Jacobs.

Editor: I would like to bring a most ominous proposal to the a t t e n t i on of the Western community. By now many of us are aware that a draft of Western's budget for the1971-'73 biennium has been presented. A document of some length, I am concerned mainly with one ofits aspectsâ€”that of a budget cut for the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature. For someinexplicable reason, the College administration wants to cut this department's budget in half! Of course,the department would be rendered almost totally ineffective. At this time, when we cry about the need to communicate, a step such as this is quite a backward one. I do not see the need to justify theexistence of this department. Any thinking one of us can figure that out for himself. However, I think that President Flora's proposal most c e r t a i n l y needs some justification. I urge all members of ourcommunity to join in this cause. The world will get smaller every day despite what happens here inBellingham. Esther Kohler S/A, Spanish Constitutionalist Explanation Editor: Recently Arch E.Roberts, Lt. Col. Ret., Director of the "Committee to Restore the Constitution, Inc." with national officein Fort Collins, Colorado was quoted as saying "I am not an anti-Communist." This statement withoutexplanation raised some eyebrows among those who know of his efforts in behalf of our country. Col.Roberts has issued the following statement to clarify his position: ' ' I am not an "anti- C o m m u n i s t" because . . . Communism is not a viable political force. "Communism is a creature of those whofoment world revolution as a technique for destroying existing social orders and was imported intoRussia from America. "Under the leadership of one Lev Davidovich Bronstein (alias Leon Trotsky) threehundred trained assassins from the lower east side of New York were sent into Russia to take over the ( A l e x a n d r Feodorovich) Kerenski government. "This band of. nihilists, who were ultimatelyresponsible for the deaths of 12 million Russian citizens, were financed by a member of an internationalbanking house in New York City. "The same cabal now finance and inspire "Revolution U.S.A. "I am aconstitutionalist and oppose communism as an i n s t r u m e n t of a more sophisticated and sinisterconspiracy. "I deplore the ease with which these concealed enemies have alienated our people, onefrom the other, by right-left polatization. "I submit that it's time for Americans to halt the insane"communist-anticommunist" diversion and join in a common effort for survival. "We can begin byexposing and neutralizing the real enemy . . . the power behind "communism."

English Courses Two team-taught courses will be added to theEnglish Department's list next year. The major change in English curriculum will be the addition of a new course, English 397 (Classical Baroque, neo-classical) tentatively planned for winter quarter. The coursewill be offered as a 12-credit package and will be team-taught by Marjorie Donker, Marjorie Ryan, andGeorge Muldrow. English 397 still needs departmental and academic council approval, however, Muldrow doesn't foresee any trouble. The class will meet four days per week, three hours per day, 90 minutes inthe morning and 90 minutes in the afternoon. It will cover periods in literature now covered by the English322, 323 series (English literature, Spenser through Metaphysical poets, and Dryden through Johnson).Specific years studied will be 1400 to 1800. Students interested in the new course will be individuallyinterviewed as enrollment must be kept down to 35 students, according to Muldrow. The other team-taught course will be 385e to be offered next spring. Titled Contemporary Issues in Literature, it will dealspecifically with women in literature and will be taught by Mrs. Donker, Dr. Ryan and Meredith Cary.Letter Writer Applauded Editor: Re: L. W.

SaysFountains Not Ecological Editor: With all the ecological awareness that is supposedly around, 1wonder why there are drinking fountains running all the time all over this campus. I have noticed them(and turned them off) in dorms, the library, class buildings, and the Viking Union Some people say thewater is not cold unless it is left running. I reply that if we are willing to trade who knows how manygallons of water for the privilege of not having to hold the handle ourselves while it gets cold (twoseconds?) we should shut up about Georgia Pacific et al. Ecology begins at home. Michele BrothersSophomore Home Economics Gives Infirmary Superior Rating Editor: My pill bottle cap is off to thestaff of the school infirmary. The treatment I have received from them is in most ways superior to havingto face a private physician who may be wary of payment. I haven't had an overbilling from the infirmary,yet. The nurses handle the patients at the infirmary with a professionality which helps one forget aboutthe time one may have to wait. The d o c t o r s explain treatment so that the patient may aid inpreventing reoccurrences^ The whole outfit serves people, so if you're sick, have student I.D., and have a flat wallet, try out the services at the infirmary. Remember two things, though; it isn't a hospital, and itis a service, not a privilege.

New Medical Insurance Plan The Student Health Services Committee has announced a new Medical Insurance Plan for next year. The policy, if taken for all three quarters,entitles the policy holder to free summer coverage anywhere in the world. The coverage cost per schoolquarter for a single student has been raised to $12.85. The cost to cover a student and one or moredependents has also been raised, to $27.50 per quarter. It is handled by a local firm, making claimsquestions easily handled. There is blanket coverage' of up to $1,000 per accident no exclusions for pre-existing conditions. According to the Student Health Services Committee this, "is the best coverage wecan obtain for a modest premium." Teacher-Researcher Program The Teacher-Researcher Program, aone-year laboratory experience at Whatcom Middle School, is now accepting applications. Freshmenand sophomores are particularly encouraged to participate in the program which begins next fall. Aninformational meeting will be held at 3 p.m. tomorrow in Miller Hall 316.

Rash of Cycle Thefts Plague Campus Security By MARILEEPETHTEL Front Reporter Bicycle and motorcycle thefts are on the rise, according to Edward Donovan,Security Investigations officer. More than 35 bikes, valued at over $2,500 have been taken in the pastfour months. Four motorcycles have also been taken, the first thefts in over a year. Officers believe that a small number of Western students are involved in the bike thefts. Many of the bicycles taken areshipped south to Seattle or Tacoma where they are sold at low prices. Last year a whole bike rack, bikes and all, was taken from the Birnam Wood area. These bikes were also probably taken south and sold,said Donovan. Other bikes are used around campus, because the thieves know it is nearly impossible togo around and check the serial numbers on all the bicycles on campus. Security officers are workingwith the Bellingham police in trying to stop the thefts and recover some of the stolen bikes. So far therehave been no arrests for bicycle thefts. Donovan said that officers are fairly sure of certain individualswho are probably taking the bikes, but proving anything is very difficult. Donovan warned that a stiffpenalty faces those arrested for theft. A former Western student recently finished six months in jail forthe theft of a stereo from a dorm room. Donovan said that greater problem than the thefts is theintimidation and fear tactics used by the thieves. One Fairhaven student witnessed an attempted theft,but will not help with an arrest because of threats made. Students will have to work with officers in orderto stop bicycle thefts, Donovan explained. At Fairhaven, a small group of students have joined togetherto try to stop bike thefts from the Fairhaven dorms. Bicycles are parked in a central area, and a watch iskept over them all day and all night. Students have suggested a small locked shed might solve the theftproblem. Donovan explained security measures that can be taken to safe-guard bikes. Most important he said, was to know the serial number of the bike. If the bike is stolen, it may be recovered through serialnumbers. When storing bikes, it is important to lock the bike to some stationary object. If it possible,store bikes inside. Don't leave them out overnight, or over the week-end, he emphasized, as this is whenthe majority of the bikes are taken. Donovan added that those who have had bikes taken should checkwith security and the city police. Both places have several recovered bikes. New Food StampRegulations The United States Department of Agriculture has proposed new food stamp regulationswhich will probably affect Western students. Students would no longer be able to use educationalexpenses for hardship deductions. The shelter cost hardship would stay the same. Thirty per cent ofincome would be deductible. Other deductions would be medical payments exceeding $10 per month,emergency expenses and child care necessary for work. To be eligible for food stamps, all householdmembers under 60 years of age must be legally related. Unrelated roomers do not disqualify thehousehold. A household with anyone 18 years or older who is claimed as a tax dependent by membersof another household, such as parents, who do not receive food stamps, is not eligible. Maximummonthly income standards have also been proposed: 1 person: $160/month 2 persons: $210/month 3persons: $293/month The State Division of Public Assistance and the USDA will have to work together to design a plan for Washington which will satisfy their new regulations.

Smith Cleaners * Laundry, Inc.State Boulevard Always Open Chess Club President Revives Pawn Interest By DAN TOLVA FrontReporter Western's love affair with chess hasn't exactly been torrid in the past, but new enthusiasm forthe game by many students promises to liven things up around the Chess Club. Most responsible forresurrecting the game is Steve Chase, president of the club. Chase, a senior history major from Everett,has taught classes in chess, arranged tournaments and encouraged individuals in developing their skill at chess. His motives? "Chess is a game that develops the mind. When two players battle each otherthey stand or fall on their ability to think." This quarter he teaches a class in modern chess openings forthe Free University. Openings such as the "King's Indian," "Queen's Gambit" and the "Sicillian Defense"are gone over in detail at 7 p.m. every Thursday at the Campus Christian Ministry. The Chess Club hasfinished a round-robin tournament to determine the top players to represent Western at intercollegiatetournaments. Along with overseeing the club tournament, Chase has manufactured four large observation boards to allow an audience to view a game without crowding the players. The boards measure four feetsquare each complete with 32 cardboard pieces. These boards are to be used for the Peace Arch Open, to be held at Western next November. Chase is handling the logistics for a projected 50 entries. The last Peace Arch Open, also organized by Chase, drew 29 players from British Columbia, Washington andOregon. The strong showing of the Canadians is a sore spot with him. "If we could get a few of the betterplayers from Seattle up here for these things, we might stand a chance," he said. "As it is, theCanadians have the trophy." Chase feels that the popularity of the game is growing on campus and thatthere are probably some very good players around who for some reason or other haven't joined the Chess Club. "I'd really like to get more students involved in the club. Competition with each other wouldsharpen their playing, improving the club as a whole. Perhaps then we could play teams like theUniversity of Washington and fare better than we have in the past." LANGE VOLKSWAGEN 112 Samish Way 734-5230 Sales: New and used Volkswagens.

JACK'S BIKE SHOP AMERICAN EAGLE" 733-19552006 James St. By BRIAN MORRIS Front Reporter Speaking at a Huxley Seminar Thursday, RobertBurd promised to "zero in on environmental pollution more effectively" with new legislation effective inJuly. Burd is Deputy Regional Director of the newly established Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA was created by President Nixon in December and combines all the previous pollutionprograms into one organization which Burd described as a "young, aggressive agency." Burd works outof the Seattle regional office which covers Oregon, Washington, Idaho and Alaska, and according toBurd, our region has higher water pollution standards, than any other region in the country. Eighty-fiveper cent of the EPA budget goes for grants to build sewage treatment plants and for state and localagencies to set up their own staff of environmental control boards, Burd said. The weakness of the EPABurd explained is in the enforcement provision which requires the EPA to prove that "discharge in onestate does actual economic damage to another state." Commenting on the Anacortes oil spill, Burdsaid, "It is fortunate that it was diesel oil," as opposed to crude oil. As of now, Washington has one of the three bodies of water to be officially cleaned up by the EPA, Lake Washington. The other two are theWillamette River in Oregon and San Diego Bay. In Puget Sound the EPA has taken legal action againstGeorgia Pacific and Weyerhauser in efforts to stop pollution. When the permit legislation becomeseffective July 1, the EPA "won't award a permit unless corporations agree to establish a sewagetreatment plant with a set time schedule/'Burdsaid. your western front want advisor helps more peopleget the results they want than anyone else in the college community.

Graduation CeremoniesGraduation exercises for 1,400 eligible students will be held from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., June 11 in Carver Gym, according to Tim Douglas, assistant dean of students. The featured speaker will be Dr. RonaldWilliams, dean of ethnic studies. Douglas expects only 600 students to attend. He said that manystudents who graduated in fall or winter quarter will not be returning for the ceremonies. The registrar'soffice reported that 873 bachelor degrees will be awarded: Bachelor of Arts, 391; Bachelor of Science, 34;Bachelor of Arts in Education, 444; Bachelor of Arts in Education from Fairhaven and Ethnic Studies, 3;and Bachelor of Arts from Ethnic Studies, 1. Approximately 50 Master's degrees will be awarded. Therewill be a reception in the Viking Union following the ceremonies. Lettuce Shortage Possible Lettuce may be in short supply on campus unless more Bellingham food retailers demand only United Farm Workers(UFW) lettuce from produce suppliers. Last week, committees at Western and Fairhaven decided thatonly UFW lettuce would be served in their respective dining halls. Although the committees have no realauthority over Saga's policies, Food Services Director Vince Gallagher said Saga would follow the groups' decisions. Jack Smith, Viking Union facilities director, said Friday that none of the dining facilities oneither campus had yet run short of UFW lettuce, but that there was a possibility of a shortage in thefuture. "More people are going to have to start stipulating union (UFW) lettuce so that the producehouses will put pressure on their suppliers for it," he said. Saga buys most of its lettuce from Keene'sProduce in Bellingham. Gallagher said Saga might have trouble getting only UFW lettuce, and that if itwasn't available Saga would probably not serve lettuce. The Gang Preacher' 'The Gang Preacher," DaveWilkerson, will be in Bellingham next week. Author of "The Cross and the Switchblade," he has workedwith several New York City gamgs, especially with drug addicts. He became famous after interrupting agang trial in an attempt to help the members. He founded the New York Teen Challenge, a drugrehabilitation program which claims 74 per cent cure rate among heroin users on its program. Wilkerson, a minister from Pennsylvania, now travels around the world, speaking to young people. Reaching 3,000 to 10,000 people a week, he speaks on drugs, sex and rebellion. Appearing with Wilkerson will be DallasHolm, a former rock singer. They will be at Bellingham High School Auditorium, June 4 and 5 at 7:30p.m. Photography Funds Cut Budget cutbacks have left the technology department with only enoughfunds for a half-time photography instructor. "It's a sad, sad case of running out of money," Sam R. Porter, chairman of the department, said. "We lost our instructor and while we were looking for a new one welost our allocation for one," Porter said. The department was able to provide enough funds for a part-timephotography instructor. "We hope to have a new instructor in the fall," he said. The tech department is asmall department and the faculty are specialized in narrow fields. Faculty can't be cut without jeopardizing programs, Porter said. Porter compared it to the language programs; the electronics instructor can't beexpected to teach photography any more than a Russian instructor can be expected to teach Latin.Photography enjoyed tremendous growth over the past few years, due primarily to the efforts andpopularity of the late Mark Flanders. The popular night course, tech. 160, will continue. The 160 coursewas started to accommodate students who just wanted a general knowledge of photography. "Itbackfired," confessed Porter. "It whetted their appetites for more." Demand for photography coursescontinues to exceed the resources of the department. The present budget situation will limit practically all classes to tech and VICOED majors. Porter sympathized with students trying to get into photographycourses. "How do you explain not being able to get into a class for three years?" ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 25 - Page 9 ---------- Tuesday, May 25, 1971 Western Front 9 Review Photo By DAVE SHERMAN Production of 'Boys in theBand' Receives Compliments from Critic By CY HILL Front Drama Critic When George Mead chose todo The Boys in the Band for the first all-student production on campus, he chose one of the finest andmost difficult to produce plays in contemporary theatre. Author Mart Crowley sets his drama at abirthday party given by six homosexuals for a friend, and then adds a heterosexual male (he claims he is) as the catalyst for the ensuing conflict. In this play the homosexual is seen in his own world, and thisprovides a very different perspective for the viewer. The men on stage are not "freaks," but very human.Crowley's major concern is with how each of the personalities is able to cope with the social problemsand guilt that arise from being homosexual in a society that outlaws homosexuality. Mead has beentremendously successful in his production. The cast was chosen with remarkable foresight, and thecollaboration between actors and director has produced a show that is professional. Every prop is perfectdown to the color of the Pouilly-Fuisse, and the set itself is a work of art. Everyone associated with theplay has reason to be proud for whatever part they played in making this fine show possible. All of theacting is good, but there are several performances that are outstanding. Randy Hansen plays Larry with a refined cool and is always present as a force on stage, and Benjamin H. Paster's performance asBernard is very real and imaginative. Joseph Grant plays the difficult role of Donald with great eptitudeand insight. But Larry Hannon performs the lead role of Michael with such professionalism and in suchminute detail that it is at times difficult to see anyone else on stage. Hannon is in complete control of hischaracter at every moment, and the play is well worth seeing for his performance alone. The play opened Sunday and runs through Friday on the fourth floor of the Viking Union addition. No one will be seatedafter the show begins at 8:15 p.m. and seating is only for 100 persons.

PresidentFlora has recommended that all intercollegiate athletics be dropped by the fall of 1972 or find ways ofbecoming self-supporting. Admittedly the college is in a financial crisis. The budget passed by the StateLegislature has placed Flora in a position where cuts must be made if Western is to survive. However,because we must now cinch up our money belts and attempt to get the best education for the leastamount of dollars is not reason enough to begin lopping off any department simply because the amountat the side of the budget would satisfy Pres. Flora's demands. Instead of killing off a few departmentsaltogether it would be wiser to limit many in their spending. The order to "desist or WESTERN/ATHLETICS D/Â£D f97Z become self-supporting" in one year's time is almost like asking RichardNixon to bring the troops home this afternoon. It is a nice dream, but that is all it is, a dream. Of the ten intercollegiate sports sponsored by Western, only one, basketball, would have any possible chance ofbecoming self-supporting within a year. The administration's position is that intercollegiate sports arenot necessary to the educational value of this institution. More important than the athletic d e p a r t m en t are such d e p a r t m e n t s as physics, chemistry and so on. The disagreement here, however, isnot that athletics are more important than other departments, but just as important. Western is aneducational school, and though it has become more of a liberal arts college in recent years, its primaryproduction is still to the field of education. The athletic department, largely through intercollegiate sports, supplies the state with many highly qualified coaches, instructors and administrators. If intercollegiateathletics are cut entirely, then so should courses such as honors chemistry, high level biology andhistory. Intercollegiate athletes are on the same level as students in these courses. An athlete of superior ability has just as much right to exercise these abilities in intercollegiate competition as an honorsbiology student does of attempting to find the answer to how and why organisms live. To force Vikingteams to try to become self-supporting or face extinction is like telling them to go out and get money anyway they can. One certain, ethical, method which will be used is to begin charging students admission to contests, instead of admitting them free in the past. But again, the only sport this might help would bebasketball. Intercollegiate athletics need to make budget cuts, there is no question about that. But totalelimination is not the answer. Out of all the departments that spend money, the athletics department isone of the few that actually takes revenue in also. Student participation and interest has greatlyincreased in athletics over the past few years. It would be criminal to kill that enthusiasm and support atthe peak of its success. Dr. William Tomaras Western athletic director, and several Viking coaches havevoiced not only concern, but a willingness to help make sacrifices in order to save the program. Whencutting programs in order to save money, a close look should be given to not only the amount of moneythat would be saved, but also at the educational and social value that would be lost. Pres. Flora shoulduse his budgetary scalpel to cut away the deadwood and non-essentials, not a logger's axe swingingblindly at anything with a dollar's sign followed by a lot of zeros. Banquet Sign-Up Deadline TomorrowTomorrow is the last day for lettermen to sign up for the All-Sports banquet to be held Wednesday June2 at 8 p.m. at the Viking Commons Dining Hall. A sign-up sheet is available at the Men's AthleticDepartment. Lettermen who sign up will-be admitted free.

Tuesday, May 25, 1971 Viks Second In Net FinalsWinning one event, Western's tennis team took second in the Evergreen' Conference championship meet, which took place Friday and Saturday in Monmouth, Ore. The Vikings finished behind Southern Oregon. The final scores were Southern Oregon 112, Western 76, Whitworth 72, Central 39, host Oregon College21, Eastern Washington four and Eastern Oregon no score. Oregon Tech did not compete. Western'sfirst place finish came in No. 2 doubles with Larry Corbin and Steve Adelstein combining for thechampionship. Second place finishes for the Viks were gained by Corgin, No. 3 singles, Frank Williams,No. 5 singles and Williams and Doug Clark, No. 3 doubles. The Vikings socred third place points withArnie Larson, No. 2 singles, Clark, No. 6 singles and Steve Doerrer and Larson, No. 1 doubles. Doerrerand Adlestein each placed fourth in No. 4 singles, respectively. "We played well," said Vik coach DonWiseman. "We lost a couple of close ones, but still did a pretty good job." Wiseman referred to the lossof two tie breaking matches. The doubles team of Doerrer and Larson lost a three set tie breaker in thesemi-finals, as did Corbin in his singles event. The Vikings will compete in the NAIA District I match thisFriday and Saturday in Spokane. The individual and doubles winners there will advance to the NAIAnational championship tournament. Lightweight Four Third in Seattle Western's lightweight four crewplaced third in the finals in the Western Sprint Regatta, held Saturday on Lake Washington's AndrewsBay in Seattle. The Viks rowed the 2000-meter course in 7:14.9 trailing the University of Washington No.2 team and Pacific Lutheran University. The Huskies finished in 6:59.4 and the Lutes were timed in7:13.0. The UW No. 1 shell finished fourth followed by San Diego, Santa Clara, San Diego State andOregon. Other Viking boats in the Regatta were the varsity eights and varsity fours with coxwain, whoplaced fifth and third respectively in consolation heats of their events. In the big race of the day,Washington's varsity eight crew won the Ebright Cup race, defeating the University of British Columbia,Loyola, Cal State, Long Beach, UCLA and Stanford. Washington dominated the meet, adding victories inthe junior varsity eights, freshman eights, four with coxwain, and varsity fours with coxwain. The onlyraces not won by the Huskies were the four without coxwain and pair with coxwain, won by UBC andOrange Coast Rowing Club, respectively. Fish Eye Keep Them Hooked Western Front 11 By SCOTTANDERSON Front Reporter Probably the biggest cause of losing fish, next to poor line or faultyequipment, is due to improper technique. Many fishermen, once they get a fish hooked, literally "horse"their fish in with, their drag set tight. Rather than doing this, one should have the drag set fairly loose toplay the fish. Some reels have an additional button which allow the reel to move both ways when a fish is on. Such reels allow maximum play and make fishing a much more exciting sport. I have also foundthat I lose fewer fish when I make use of this button, which can be switched quickly with a flick of thethumb. Another mistake many fishermen make is holding their rod low when bringing in the fish. The rod should be held at a high angle from the body, especially when fishing from a boat. Streams offer theirown problems when they are heavily wooded or surrounded by underbrush. For example lines have atendency to become tangled around small trees and underbrush. T h e r e are only two suggestions Ican make here: 1) use a pole which comes apart and 2) keep the pole low and close to the body.Occasionally carrying the pole in a vertical angle is necessary to avoid tangles. Incidentally, Whatcomhas been producing bass to five pounds, in addition to cuts up to six pounds. Balke Mound LeaderWestern baseball pitcher Don Balke led the Evergreen Conference (Evco) pitching title this season,according to official Evco releases. Balke, a sophomore from Edmonds, led Evco with an earned runaverage of 0.50. He was followed by Greg Schulte of Central, 1.33, Tom Beal of Whitworth, 2.00, andDave Heaverlo of Central, 2.65. Balke allowed three earned runs in 52 innings of conference action.Heaverlo led Evco in strikeouts with 51 fannings. Beall won the league batting crown with a .475 average, followed by Tim Huntly of Central, .407, and Frank Teicheira of Oregon Tech and Mark Gantar ofCentral, both batting .400. Final league standings announced by the Evco office had Central in firstplace (7-4) followed by Whitworth (7-5), Oregon College and Southern Oregon (8-6), Western andEastern Oregon (6-6), Eastern Washington (4-5) and Oregon Tech (3-11).

This statement, a part of President Flora's tentative plan for the budgetaryperiod 1971-73, in essence calls for varsity athletics to cease by fall quarter 1972. A part of alternativefive, a plan Flora openly favors, it in actuality kills the athletic program in that it is nearly impossible tomake the program self-supporting in a year's time. "In our judgment an inter-collegiate program atWestern cannot be self-supporting," states athletic director Dr. William Tomaras! "The current budget ofapproximately $80,000 is well worth the expenditure," Tomaras said, "in terms of value to the training ofphysical education teachers and coaches, in terms of student participation, morale and recreationalinterest." Western's athletic program has stuck rigidly to an educationally-oriented program and inperspective with the total educational program. The control of the program has always come through theinstitution itself, not alumni or businessmen who might take it out of its moderately financed,educationally sound context. "Now Flora is proposing, in a completely hypocritical move, a completereversal of philosophy. For athletics to continue even on a partial basis, funds would have to be solicitedfrom alumni and "downtown" sources. Such an idea is absurd. It seems when the pressure is on Floracannot back a program that has done everything in its power to meet the standards of an educationally-oriented athletic program. As Tomaras states, "Our administration does not recognize or is unwilling toplace a high enough priority on athletic competition to retain the program in a time of crisis." "We fullyexpect to take a fair share of the necessary budget reductions, but we do not feel our fair share should beextinction." No other non-academic program has the interest of more students than athletics. Certainly itis a program for those students with superior motor skills, yet hundreds of others reap enjoyment asspectators. It would also seem that if there were questions as to the validity of a program, that those inthe department would be queried about possible moves. In fact, this has noot been the case. It seems the administration on this issue takes advice from everyone except those most knowledgeable of thesubject. Now the decision is out of the athletic department's hands, not only before the proposal, but after it as well. It is now up to the students, townspeople, alumni and athletes to take action by respondingdirectly to President Flora if athletics are to continue at Western. It is feasible that if the current proposalbecomes fact and a self-supporting program is started, that in time it could grow to dominate the entireschool as it does now in many institutions, one such being only 80 miles away. This is not wanted byanyone. What is wanted is a fair shake in regard to athletics. It may take a little effort to make many little reductions than a big one, but certainly in this instance well worth it. Cindermen Fifth Ma gee, Vorce,Long Win Evergreen Track Titles By KENT SHERWOOD Sports Editor Qualifying four competitors forthe nationals, Western's track squad placed fifth in the Evergreen Conference (Evco) meet, held Fridayand Saturday in Monmouth, Ore. Oregon College, who hosted the meet, won the championship, scoring175 points, followed by Central, 142%, Southern Oregon, 88, Eastern Washington, 8P/2, Western, 76%,Eastern Oregon, 30, Whitworth, 25 and Oregon Tech, 8. Western's Evco champions were Jim Magee inthe 220, Bill Long in the pole vault, and Mike Vorce in the 440-yd. intermediate hurdles. Magee ran a21.7, a lifetime best for the 23-year old freshman. Long vaulted 14-0, again tying his school record.Vorce won in a time of 54.2, far slower than his record time of 53.4 set a week ago against Central, butthe sophomore from Lyle High School won easily, defeating his arch rival Mike Behrbaum of Central.Behrbaum finished third. By winning at the conference meet, all three automatically qualified for the NAIA championship meet, to be held June 3., 4, and 5 in Billings, Mont. Also qualifying for the national meetwas Steve Lippitt who took second in the six-mile run. Lippitt's time of 31:19.4 was well under thenational qualifying standard. Other seconds in the Evco meet for the Viks were by the mile relay team ofVorce, Dick Foley, Jeff May and Mike Page, in 3:20.4 and Page in the' open 440-yd. dash in 49.6.Western thirds were won by Magee in the 100 (9.9) and the 440-yd. relay team of Vorce, Dan Wakefield,Magee and Page (43.6).

President Charles Flora told theFront Tuesday. "I can't imagine an issue receiving more opposition from the community than this," hesaid. The Curriculum Commission's proposed model for curricular reform has been rejected by theAcademic Council, Graduate Council, Long Range Planning Committee, Faculty Council and departmentchairman as a group, he said. Students voted 2 to 1 against the proposal in Friday's election, and Florasaid he has received memos of opposition "from many, many individuals." However, he said that some ofthe other proposals embodied in the commission's report may be accepted at a later date. PLEASEDWITH DAUGERT PROPOSAL Flora said he is pleased and excited at the prospect of implementing theDaugert Proposal for an all-college government. "From my point, the Academic Senate would mean Iwould interact with one body rather than several," Flora said. The benefit derived from acting with just theone group allow a quicker solution to problems and improve communications, he said. "The problemevery college president has is communicating with the various constituencies." Currently, the ASLegislature, Academic Council, Faculty Council and Graduate Council are separate entities. Under theDaugert recommendation, the four would become constituencies of the Academic Senate. Flora said heplans to take the proposal to the Board of Trustees who have to approve it before it can be implemented.As for the future of the present councils. Flora said he could see no function for them under the Daugertplan other than as constituency caucuses. MILITARY RECRUITERS WATCHED ANTI-WAR PARADE-MORE PHOTOS ON PAGE 7, EDITORIAL ON PAGE 4. Photo By DAVE SHERMAN Anti-War LeadersPleased with Turn-Out Anti-war leaders are claiming a "major victory" following Wednesday's peaceful"March for Life" which drew an estimated 1,500 students and townspeople to a parade through town and a rally at City Hall. AS Vice President Gary Evans, a member of the sponsoring Bellingham People'sCoalition, said yesterday he was "feeling great" due to the large turn-out. Evans added he feared a smalldemonstration, which could have marked an end to the anti-war movement in Bellingham. "It was one ofthe best peace marches Bellingham has ever seen," he said. "It is a major vitory for those opposedagainst the war." The Rev. Bill Sodt, another member of the coalition, said it was an unqualifiedsuccess,.noting that the march was unique from previous ones in that representatives from a wide-ranging number of organizations were able to get together under one cause. "This shows the maturity of thepeace movement," Rev. Sodt explained. Approximately a dozen boxes of food were collected at the rally on the public library lawn. Participants were asked to bring a can of food to contribute to a newly formedfood bank for the needy. The food will be distributed under the supervision of the Low Income CitizensCommittee and two local churches. The orderly parade from campus to City Hall was headed by twoAmerican flags and a state flag. Several protestors carrying the sole Viet Cong flag in the march were told to go to the .rear by marchers up front. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 4) \ .

The new program would be implemented primarily for students with specific educational goals that are not adequately provided for by present majors.Under this plan, a student could create his own major made up of classes from several departmentsproviding he can present sufficient rationale for the proposed major. The student must confer with at leastone faculty member in each department offering courses which are to be included in his field of study.Together, these faculty and the student would write a contract which includes a written statement by thestudent of the general purpose and concept of the major and explains how the proposed courses meethis objectives. Then, each faculty member must give his approval to the contract. A sample form of thecontract would be available at the Department of General Studies. The following regulations would apply:â€”Only Arts and Sciences students may design their own majors. (Secondary education students would not be able to do this since they are in a professional program where teaching competence must becertified. The elementary education package now being investigated may have more flexibility.) - Astudent must apply for a designed major no later than the beginning of his junior yearâ€”90 credit hours.â€”All requirements for the- bachelor's degree must be met: 180 credits; no less than 60 credits of upperdivision study; general education courses; and minimum of "C" grades in all courses in the major.Regarding the regulations for the designed major: -The contract must include at least 70 credits in themajor and not more than 110. â€”The student is still required to take prerequisite courses. â€”A studentdesigned major cannot consist of courses over half of which have already been taken at the time thecontract is drawn. â€”Changes in the contract will be granted only for scheduling problems, coursechanges, or removal of courses from the catalog. No changes will be permitted if they result from failinggrades. â€”The program cannot substantially duplicate existing major programs, simply eliminatingcertain courses. After the contract has been approved by the faculty originally consulted, the department chairmen involved will appoint one member from each of their departments to serve as the student'smajor committee. All changes in the contract and final approval for graduation must be made by thiscommittee. The final approval is to be made by the Academic Council and if the contract is not actedupon by this body in two academic weeks of submission, it is considered approved. Several members ofthe Council believed this to be a complicated route but it was agreed that after the program wasimplemented it would tend to streamline itself. The Council passed a motion by Sue Kortie, seniorstudent member, stating that the diploma would indicate that it was a student-faculty designedinterdisciplinary major and it would include the title of the major and program of study. The Council's Ad-hoc Committee on InterdiscipUnary Majors which drafted the report consisted of Gary Lampman,associate professor of chemistry, chairman; Roscoe Buckland, chairman of general studies; ThomasSchlotterback, assistant professor of art; and David Ziegler, assistant professor of political science. ASSpeaker Considers Rebate Vote Binding Does the AS Legislature have the authority to enforce the will of students who voted for a five per cent discount at the bookstore at Friday's AS election? Yes, saysSpeaker of the Legislature Mary Watts. She bases her opinion on a 1960 amendment to the bookstore'sgoverning document which states that the bookstore board is "responsible jointly to the president of theAssociated Students and through him to the Associated Students' legislative body" as well as to thecollege administration. The authority has already been used once before, she said, in the Legislature'sdecision to override the Bookstore Board's approval of salary increases for bookstore employees.Bookstore Board Chairman Howard Mitchell said that the board had been having trouble finding out whatstudent feelings were, and that they are happy to have this as an advisory action. But he feels that theexact percentage of discount should be left up to the Board: "I question the desirability of making itmandatory." If the bookstore is forced to hold to a five per cent discount, they may find themselvesraising prices to be able to afford to give a discount, he said. Bookstore manager Ray Knabe feels thesame way: "They can't expect us to cut prices in addition." He doesn't feel the five per cent figure wouldbe hard to manage, since all it would involve would be not charging five per cent State tax at the cashregister. Knabe is concerned, however, about who his bosses are. He thought his directing body was the bookstore board, but now that the Legislature is taking this action, "You wonder now, what's the deal."College president Charles Flora, asked his opinion on where the authority lies, said he didn't know. NewGrading Systems Enter Proposal Arena Students will have the chance to voice their opinions on thepresent grading system and three new proposed ones at an all-college meeting to be held at noonMonday in the Viking Union Lounge. The proposed systems are: The Academic Council's Ad-hocCommittee on Grading's proposal, which would replace the present system with four grades: C (credit),CD (credit with distinction), NC (no credit), and K (incomplete). A proposed system submitted by FredKnapman, professor of chemistry which calls for replacing the present system of grading with six grades: A (performance with high distinction), B (performance with distinction), Pass (P) (acceptableperformance), No Pass (NP) (unacceptable performance), W (withdrawn frbm class), and K (incomplete). David Ziegler, assistant professor of political science, has proposed an 11-grade system which wouldreplace the present grading system. He called for grades ranging from A to F with the A, B, and C grades having plus and minus qualities. Tom Cooper, administrative assistant to AS President Steve Coopersaid that it is important that students come to the all-campus meeting to express their views on theproposed grading system changes. "This issue may be acted on at the Academic Council's meetingTuesday," he said. "People should let the Ad-hoc Committee on Grading know how they feel. This isreally an important issue and applies to everyone at Western." ' ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 7 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, May 7, 1971 Western Front Man in the Street Students Questioned on Town-Gown RelationsBy MARIE HAUGEN * Front Reporter Contrasting views were the result of the Front's latest student-in-the-street interview on what the relationship between a Western student and the Bellingham communityshould be. Bob Grindle, a junior education major from Bellingham, said that the college and thecommunity should "work together on problems like housing and parking," and try to see each other'sviews. "Western and Bellingham used to be closer, but the increased size of the college has causedthem to spread apart," he said. * * * * * Jeanne Koehn, a senior geology major from Vancouver, Wash.,said the relationship should be "a lot better than it is." "What I'm tired of is the discrimination becauseyou're a student, like the higher prices at stores that get a lot of college trade because of their location,"she said. Miss Koehn thinks that the college is removed from the community. "We're up on the hill andthey're down there. It's a barrier. I don't think that more than a few students even get out of the collegearea," she said. * * * * * John Kinsella, a junior business major from Bellingham, said he'd "never thought about it." "I don't live here, I live in Seattle and I just come here to go to school. The only thing I do inBellingham is buy my groceries during the week," he said. Diane Williamson, a freshman psychologymajor from Bellevue, was another who thought the relationship should be "a lot better than it is." "Blacksare hassled constantly by Bellingham citizens and police," she said. Miss Williamson related oneincident involving an overcharge at a gas station which the police became involved in. "That's just one ofmany incidents that have occurred in our 'fair' city of Bellingham," she said. ***** George Ottlyk, a junior speech major from Bellevue, said that "students should be drawn away from the community." "Students are here for a definite purpose, to study, and if you're wrapped up in the community it hinders yourchances of completing a college education," he said. Marilyn Jean Hamlin, a sophomore undeclaredmajor from Seattle, said the relationship was "awful." "I hate being in this city," she said. "The peopleare down on college students. You smile, and nobody smiles back. "Also, the town is conservative, andany college is not. The two don't mix," she said. Miss Hamlin said she thinks that the city-collegerelationship could be better in time. "But, they're directly opposing each other, and they're both wellestablished," she added. GEORGE OTTLYK DIANE WILLIAMSON Dan George Captivates Indian DaysCrowd By GLEN JONES Front Reporter Chief Dan George eloquently captivated the â€¢ packed VikingUnion lounge Wednesday night, helping to initiate Indian Days with his stories, songs and conversation.George dominated the evening, which was sponsored by the American Indian Students Union, in hissparkling, yet serious way of recounting old tales and renouncing old misconceptions about the Indianpeople. The smiling seventy-four-year-old Vancouver Indian humorously discredited ChristopherColumbus' report in 1492 to Queen Isabella that "hostile savages" inhabited North America. He called it a recurring European miscalculation which has caused troubles ever since. "I blame the movies that weremade years ago that said the Indians were killers and savages that attacked the settlers and pioneers as they came West," he explained. "The text books in the schools are wrong. The Indians helped thesettlers by feeding, supplying and guiding them." He also disagreed with the popular white 'accounts ofthe Custer "massacre," saying the actual event was much like that portrayed in the movie "Little BigMan," in which he co-starred with Dustin Hoffman. "The story coming down from the old people of theCrow and Sioux says that they actually had tears in their eyes having to send their braves into battle."They don't like to kill anyone unless they have to," George said. He related this line of misconceptionsto integration troubles now occurring in British Columbia. â€¢ In a heart-felt and dramatic soliloquy,George conveyed the Indians' environment in that current problem in Canada. "I was born in an age when people loved the Photo By DAVE SHERMAN things of nature and spoke to it as if it had a soul. "Andthen the others came like a crushing, rushing wave, hurdling the years aside; and soon 1 found myself inthe twentieth century. "We floated in a kind of grey reality, weak in our hope of the future. We were livingin the dying energy of a dying culture. We did not have time to adjust to the startling upheaval around us. "We didn't have the skills to make a meaningful contribution, and nobody would wait for us. Georgeclaimed that Indians are a people with special rights guaranteed to them by treaties which they've paid for with their culture, pride and self-respect. "We paid and paid and paid, until we were a beaten race . . .do you know what it is like?" He explained the wants of his people as being equal job and educationalopportunities, guidance and counseling, but especially to be respected and to feel that they are a peopleof worth. "Pity I can do without, but my manhood 1 cannot do without," he said. "Unless there isintegration in the hearts and minds of people, then there is only a physical presence and the wallsbetween are as high as mountain tops." Lightening the evening with a touch ot hilarity, he told ananecdote about a foolish drunken Indian (a man whose name was Dan George). It was a gracefultransition. "My guitar playing is very poor and my voice is worse," George laughed as he introducedanother of his talents. - But when he had finished two songs, which were not really melodious nor sungin English, the crowd responded with cheers and standing ovations, having bridged any language barriers. The rest of the evening revolved around a highly informal question-answer period about film facts andfuture plans which George accented with his own brand of quiet wit. CHIEF DAN GEORGE Vine Delbria, author and lecturer, and Will Wasson of Ethnic Studies, joined George for a sort of impromptu paneldiscussion late in the program. But they too were fascinated with the old chief and became likeextensions of the crowd by asking questions of their own. 5 In a final show of admiration for George sachievements, the crowd gave a standing round of applause, to which he responded with raised handsand bowed smiling face, and the evening came to an end. ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 7 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Friday, May 7, 1971 Front Editorials... " To comfort the afflicted and to afflict thecomforfed" Photo By LOREN BLISS Police Surveillance The man in the foreground of the above pictureis the identification officer of the Bellingham . Police Department. He was sitting on top of the publiclibrary s u r v e y i n g Wednesday's anti-war demonstration when we discovered him. He had beensnapping photos of an unknown number of individuals below with his telephoto-equipped camera. If youattended the rally on the library lawn, then the local police may have taken your pictureâ€”for doingnothing more than attending a peaceful, city-approved demonstration against the war. The BellinghamPolice Department and Chief Cecil B. Klein must be restrained from continuing this outrageous form ofpolice surveillance at public gatherings. We demand to know how the photos will be used and to whichstate and/or federal agencies copies will be sent. We urge those persons who attended the rally to writeletters of protest to Mayor Reg Williams and Chief Klein. They are directly to blame. Police photographic surveillance at public demonstrationsâ€”primarily those which originate from the left end of the politicalspectrumâ€”has been on the upswing since the Joseph McCarthy era. Such police tactics are used togather information and to intimidate those who disagree with government policies. It is no secret that alarger number of citizens would participate in anti-war demonstrations in this nation if it were not for thethreat of being included in a government intelligence file. Local demonstrations here, with Wednesday'slone exception, have been sprinkled with camera-toting police from almost every level of law enforcementin this state. As citizens in a supposedly free society we must demand our right to peaceful protestwithout being savagely intimidated by the police. This newspaper will relinquish equal space on this page to the Bellingham Police Department to justify their actions at Wednesday's peaceful demonstration and to answer our questions. â€”John Stolpe EDITOR: John Stolpe MANAGING EDITOR: Ron GrahamASSOCIATE EDITOR: Bob Taylor COPY EDITOR: Jim Austin ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR: Larry Lemon SPORTS EDITOR: Kent Sherwood PHOTO EDITOR: Dave Sherman ASSOCIATE PHOTO EDITOR:Loren Bliss STAFF REPORTERS GENERAL ASSIGNMENT: Glen Jones, Jim Thomson, Pat Brennen,Mike Kerr, Rick Ries, Marilee Pethtel, Dianne Jacobs.

Thy Kingdom come, 0 Lord, on earth as it is in heaven! 'March for Life' (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Chanting was low-keyed since parade marshalls had only one bullhorn with weak batteries. There wereno incidents along the parade route down Holly, Cornwall, Champion, and Unity streets. A short, middle-aged woman stood on the sidewalk downtown with a box of medical supplies "in case something goeswrong." She said she loved America, but was against all the slaughter in Vietnam. She added that herhusband was a Korean vet, and would have attended the march if he did not have to work. Other sidewalk commentary wasn't as polite. One man: "What would those fellahs do if this country were invaded,they're being pacifists and all?" The marchers relished the trek past military recruitment headquarters on Unity Street. One Marine sergeant made an obscene gesture to a Vietnam veteran who stepped up andpointed to his own combat ribbons. The veteran returned the compliment. At the rally, a policemanstanding on the fringe commented, "I'm glad I didn't pay to come; I haven't learned anything." ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 7 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, May 7, 1971 Western Front 5 AS Slams Revised Code, Makes Recommendations ASLegislature voted Tuesday to send the newly proposed Guide to Student Rights and Responsibilities tothe Board of Trustees with the l e g i s l a t u r e ' s "strong objections" and two recommendations. Therecommendations are that a committee composed of at least half students corroborate on a code andthat the code not duplicate federal, state or city statutes. Legislator Libby Bradshaw introduced themotion which further said, "we realize the need for such a code, but feel the present draft is notacceptable for students of this campus." The entire legislative body approved the motion. According toLegislator Mary Watts, the proposed guide is designed to update the present Code of Conduct, but it was found to contain various constitutional flaws. Kay Burke, Viking Union director, complained that manycases that are held in the school's judiciary should be handled in civil court. "Otherwise," she added, "the student becomes jeopardized in that he is fooled into believing he has immunities on campus." In otheraction, Mike Pinch was appointed acting business manager for the Western Front. He will hold the job for two weeks until the legislature reviews applications and makes its choice for the '71-'72 school year.The legislature also approved a motion by Miss Bradshaw giving Legislator Bill Braswell a year's term asthe legislative appointee to the Activities Commission. Veteran Charges College with By JIM AUSTINCopy Editor Vietnam-time veterans constitute today's economic minority group, Morris Swadener,service officer of the campus League of Collegiate Veterans (LCV), said Wednesday. Swadener said thatveterans are being discriminated against by the college, the state government and the federalgovernment. "A jailbird has more rights than a veteran does," he said. The senior history major fromRaymond said that Western deprives some veterans of the chance to attend college here because of itspolicy of not deferring tuition payments. "Other schools in this state let veterans enroll and defer tuitionand fees payment until they receive their first GI Bill check," he said. Swadener also charged the StateLegislature with a lack of concern for veterans' problems. An indication of the state's lack of concern forreturning veterans has been their refusal to bring bills authorizing state bonuses for Vietnam-timeveterans out of committee, he said. "They (the legislators) received their bonuses for World War II andKorean War service, but now they are telling us that we don't get one." According to Swadener, returningveterans have the highest unemployment rate of any single group in the country. "Veterans are beingdenied jobs simply because they are veterans," he charged. BONE TO A STARVING DOG Theamendment exempting war-zone veterans from tuition increases is a "bone to a starving dog," he said.The LCV at Western wrote key members of the House and Senate expressing their dissatisfaction withthe amendment. Swadener said the amendment would benefit perhaps 250 to 300 of the more than 1,000 veterans at Western. The House-passed amendment to the tuition increase bill exempts all veteranswho actually served in the Indochina Theater of Operations after the passage of the Tonkin GulfResolution in August 1964. "This is out and out discrimination," Swadener said. "It does not include any veteran who was not in Vietnam nor any veteran who was in Vietnam but is not going to school."Swadener said that the LCV intends to poll veterans on their reaction to this amendment as well as aproposed amendment that would waiver all tuition and fees for veterans who are ineligible for GI Billbenefits. GI Bill educational benefits are good for up to eight years after discharge and are only good foras many months as the veteran was on active duty, up to 48 months. "Most veterans want to take upwhere they left off, but our society will not let them," Swadener said. Knapman Asks for Reaction toFinal Examination Schedule RON GRAHAM Managing Editor Policies regarding the final examinationschedule and, more particularly, the week previous to finals, has raised some difficult problems,according to Acting Dean of Western Fred Knapman. He recently sent a memo to all faculty remindingthem of the final examination policy approved by the Academic Council May 19, 1970 which reads: "Theweek preceeding the final examination week is not td be used for written examinations and in no case fora final examination masquerading as a second mid-term examination. Final paper assignments or take-home examinations, if given as part of or in lieu of a final examination, are normally due during the finalexamination week." Violations of this policy are widespread and Knapman has decided that it'simpossible to enforce. "How in the world are you going to enforce a final examination schedule? You'dneed a system of informers and policemen," Knapman said. Furthermore, the special finals week meansa loss of up to 10 per cent of class time, Knapman pointed out. All instruction is closed down finalsweek and some students and faculty are leaving campus before finals week is through, he said. Thiscauses a public relations problem since taxpayers see 10 per cent of the instructional time wasted, hesaid. Some faculty don't want to follow the schedule and students implore faculty to violate the schedule, according to Knapman. The scheduled final causes several problems, he said; -there is no opportunityfor feedback, -there is an emphasis on two-hour tests, and -the final schedule also encourages cramming by students. On the other side, scheduled finals organize the tests and spreads them out, he said. The finals schedule is also forced on students of the cluster colleges since they take classes at Western, he pointed out. Knapman has asked for departmental reactions to the scheduled finals week, and theproblem may be circumvented if a finals schedule just isn't printed up, he said. , . . . lt; . . gt; . , , â€¢, : â€¢ . : gt; . â€¢ â€¢ ' â€¢ gt; Located at the CCM House Soup - $.35 Salads - $.30 HomemadeBread - $.15 Yogurt - $.30 Cheeses - $.07 Chef's Salad - $.60 Poto Potato Salad - $.30 A NATURALPLACE TO EAT" Specials $1.00 II a.m. to 2 p.m. on weekdays includes soup, salad, bread, yogurt tea HAIRCUTS Jane Clement (676-5125) OR Trudy Olson (676-5268) (expertly done)liiiiiMiiwiimmiiiiiHHwuiiiiiiiiiim IHIH.IIIIH.I.IIIIIIIIHIIIIIMIIIHIIIHMHIIIMIWWIMIIH^^ Winging it Whether off on atrip, or buzzing around home, she's the kind of girl people like to be with.

The marine biologist, speaking before a small crowd in the Viking Union Lounge as part ofDevelopment Week, said he believes this problem overshadows that of ecology. "Nuclear warfareconcerns every person in the world," he said. "This is the most urgent problem facing man today.Ecological problems won't kill us tomorrow, but nuclear warfare could." Webber added that the secondmost serious problem facing man is that of racial equality. He rated environmental problems as beingfourth or fifth down the list of priorities. Webber broke down the environmental problems into two areas:1) Population and food; 2) Resource and energy use. He said that in 35 years the world's population willdouble. He attributed this doubling to efficient death control and inefficient birth control. "What hashappened is that we have affected only one side of the birth-death equation," he pointed out. "Work hasbeen done on lowering the death rate, but we are reluctant to do anything about the birth rate. Theaverage middle class family still wants 3.5 or 4 children." Webber also said that people must changetheir basic attitudes and values concerning resource and energy use. "Our basic attitude is man apartfrom nature; it should be man.as one with nature," he said. St. Francis of Assissi, according to Webber,said that man should be equal with nature; that everything has the same right to existence. Webberexplained that man should follow this advice and extend the same ethics to nature as he does to hisfellow human beings. "It isn't ethically wrong to chop down a tree, but it is to kill a man," he pointed out.Webber explained that in order to be in HERBERT WEBBER harmony with nature, man has to realizethat he should only kill what he needs to survive on; and should realize that he lives under the same rightto live as any tree, animal or plant. "As it says in Genesis, Man is not to subdue nature, but rather to act as a steward of nature," he said. "With this in mind, man and nature will be as one." Speaking of Lp'sBy KEN RITCHIE Record Commentator. Another gushy column this week found some thoroughlydelightful albums. MARY, Mary Travers (Warner Brothers 1907). MOONSET, Joe Bauer (Raccoon No. 3). LOVE IT TO DEATH, Alice Cooper (Warner Brothers 1883). * * * * * Mary Travers' first effort away fromPeter and v Paul is a toe-curler. Several times in the past few days I have put this album on my lopsidedrecord changer, set it on reprise and played either side a dozen or so times. Not a single cipher on theentire Ip. As usual, when I get off by listening to music, it is difficult to describe any particular record.Fortunately Mary has done a pretty good job: Picture weavers / seeing a pattern that only you / can see / weaving out of the warps of / my life / a better song. Picture weavers / your threads are strung / withsongs, that like a / night that's clear, have stars / to make the soul remember. * * * * * Moonset. JoeBauer and Banana from the Youngbloods, plus a little help from Michael Kane, Jack Gregg and SteveSwallow, did an album on the Youngbloods own label. It's completely instrumental . . . good laybackmusic, with the very distinctive sound of the Youngbloods. Bauer is the first short person in show bizzthat does not try to compensate his lack of height with obnoxious cockiness . . . a delight to watch inperson and to listen to on record. Alice Cooper records for Straight Records. Straight Records alsoreleases, or lets escape, Frank Zappa's records. Zappa has done things with The Mothers of Invention,Reuben and the Jets, The G.T.O.'s, Uncle Meat, et al. I have suspicions that at any point in any dayZappa is ready to tell anyone, fuddle duddle. Alice Cooper has the unmistakable Zappa imprint. Thecover of the album has five freaks, two of whom are dressed in drag. This is not a record that Tricia Nixonwould .VV'iftuy. â€¢ v.-- \' . l - \' -v.-- -'â€¢' This is not a record that Dickie Nixon would listen to even if heheard it. Alice Cooper verbalizes, with music and song, many of the fears which confront all of us. . . .feels like I'm living in the middle of doubt. . . 'cause I'm eighteen. Anyone who has passed the eighteen-year mark with any awareness, realizes the lost and lonely sensation at that, and all ages. Alice Cooperhas set it to music. I think the whole trip for Cooper, Zappa, et al is to poke fun at plastic people and theparts of us that are plastic. No solutions are offered, but at least we are made aware of the problem. Iwould never recommend Cooper if you are at all wasted, but any other time it is an excellent album toreally listen to. * * * * * Among the other records that have been piling up is a release from Environmental Sound Control, Inc. MUSIC TO GROW PLANTS BY. A very weird album. It sounds like a typicalplastic background-type record except for the strange oscillator effects during some of the cuts.According to the information on the liner, you can increase the growth of certain plants by playing thisalbum a few times a day. Maybe so. What really disturbs is that a packet of seeds is included in therecord. The packet is labeled Coleus, Rainbow Hybrids. This is a very common plant, available in manyseed stores. However, the instructions on the back include this information: For use as pot plants, shiftto larger pots as the plants grow. Godfrey Daniel! I'm afraid to let these seeds germinate, Stan Pitkin,Jane Mason or their friends might come narcking at my door. In the interest of science many sacrificeshave been made, but I ain't gonna risk my new-found freedon. Instead, I'll aim my speakers at thepenicillium culture growing on my south wall and see if it perks up any. r ' . ' - ^ . â€¢ - â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ - . .â€¢ - â€¢ . ' ' .

State College Bellingham, Washington 676-3460 or 676-5195 I I I I I I I Photo By DAVE SHERMAN Technology Professor Designs Racing Cars SCOTTANDERSON Front Reporter Michael Seal, assistant professor of technology, has designed and builtseveral sports cars which have been used primarily for racing upon completion. "My main interest is indesigning a car which could be used on the road. Most of the cars were raced because there was noother way to use them at the time they were built," Seal said in an interview last week. Seal built his first car, a 1931 Morris Series 1 with a Wolsley engine, at the age of 15 and began racing it when he was 16. The car, which had an 1100 cubic centimeter engine, raced in the modified G class at the old Abbotsford Race Tropic Sc3.1 s3.1(1 His second car, a Tatra engine car with a large tube chassis similar to aPorsche Spider, was raced with fairly good success, he said. Seal believes that the Tatra engine car was the first mid-engine car to run on the Westwood circuit. The car, which had a fiberglass body, wasconverted from 52 horsepower to 140 horsepower without changing the displacement, Seal said. Toaccomplish this, Seal used four carburetors, an 11-to-l piston ratio rather than a 6-to-l ratio , VincentBlack lightening, had the cam ground, and installed one of the first tuned header systems. The last carSeal built has been converted and licensed for street use in Washington. It has a multi-tube space framemid-engine Corvette mounted on a Tatra Transaxle, Seal said. The car, which was fairly successful when raced, has a fiberglass coupe body with gull wings. Seal, who has driven most types of race carsalthough he has only raced sports cars, quit racing in 1964 at the request of his wife. "I've neverconsidered safety requirements before, but I would now if I designed a car," Seal said. Seal said thatracing is fine for about ten laps, but one begins tiring after that. The average speed during a race is morethan 85 miles per hour and the races last an average of three hours, he said. "I find watching sports carraces rather dull too. It's much more fun to be out driving them," Seal said. For his next car, Seal plansto use an Oldsmobile Toronado engine and transaxle and put the unit in the back. "The entire car should weigh under 2,000 pounds," he said. Seal once had a car called "Exodus"' which was designed for off-road races. A flathead Ford V-8 was used in the back as ballast, and the front end of the f948 MorrisSeries E was removed entirely, he said. Seal said his investment in the car was $15, but it was moresuccessful than Jeeps on some courses. Faculty, Staff Barred From Pre-Registration By RONGRAHAM Managing Editor A directive has been sent to all faculty and staff barring them from advanceregistration under the tuition exemption granted to them during last 2 years by the Board of Trustees.Assistant Registrar Robert Thirsk said that this is the first quarter that this regulation has been enforced. Faculty and staff who want to take advantage of the tuition exemption will not be permitted to registeruntil the first day of classes in any given quarter. This quarter about 15 faculty and administrators 45 or50 staff persons are also attending classes, according to Thirsk. "They have last priority as long as theirtuition is being paid," Tiiirsk.said. It is possible that a person who is exempt from paying tuition couldforce a student out of a class sequence which he needs for a degree by having advance registration,Thirsk said. "It is hard to justify that and I won't." Though the Board of Trustees had assumed that thosefaculty, administrators and staff taking advantage of the tuition exemption wouldn't get advanceregistration, many didn't know or care and have gotten advance registration anyway, Thirsk said. Faculty and administrators were granted tuition exemption by the Board of Trustees in Jan-., gt; l'97'l under thefollowing restrictions: _ n o more than five credit hours can be taken pei quarter. -courses can't be takenin the person's own subject area. - t h e class can't interfere in any way with his appointed duties orschedule. â€”his presence must be acceptable to the course instructor. - t h e course can't be fundedunder the Continuing Studies Division. The staff was granted tuition exemption in May, 1969 by theBoard of Trustees with several restrictions including: - n o more than six credit hours can be taken perquarter. -approval must be granted by the immediate superior. - i f the course time interferes with regular work schedule the person's work schedule must be revised to make up the lost time. The rationalebehind the grant of tuition exemption to faculty and administrators is probably professional improvement,according to Thirsk. Staff take courses to further their education, gain expertise in their particularposition and take advantage of the tuition exemption as a fringe benefit, according to Theresa Olbrantz of personnel services.'

Muslim communities throughout the Northwest will meet at 8:JU p.m. tomorrow at the Koimonia Center, located at the corner of Northeast 45th Street and 15th Avenue Northeast inSeattle. Unlike Christmas, the celebration of Muhammad's birthday is only an observance of an historicalday that marks a new era in the history of Islam. , .. . According to Jamshid Haghgoo, president ofWestern s MSA, it is neither a ritualistic nor a festive day. Multi-Arts Festival The Program Commissionhas announced plans to hold the first annual "Back-Lawn" festival May 23. The festival, part of Multi-ArtsWeek, will begin at 9 a.m. and will be held on one of the athletic fields behind Carver Gym. The festivalwill consist of bands from the Northwest area, like the "Sky," and will last through the day. Thecommission also plans a sunrise finger-painting activity which will take place on May 25 in Red Square. A jam session is also tentatively planned for that day. Spring Enrollment Total spring quarter enrollment is 8,732 according to the registrar's office. This compares to 7,495 for last spring quarter. Freshmenstudents number 774 men and 1,111 women for a 1,885 total. Sophomores narrow the gap between menand women with 805 men students to 922 women to add up to 1.727.

Off-Limit Lakes Fragrance and Lost lakes are off limits toovernight campers effective immediately, Bill Byrne, assistant ranger at Larrabee State Park, said earlierthis week. Byrne said the prohibition extended to swimming, fires and hunting as well. "It's just gettingtoo messy and littered in there," he said. "People are going in and cutting the trees, and in short tearingthe places apart." In the future overnight camping will be permitted only in the areas of Larrabee StatePark that are specifically designated as campsite, he added. Outdoor Dances "Cold Trane," a groupfrom Seattle, will present an outdoor concert at 4 p.m. today on the Old Main lawn, followed by a freedance from 9-12 p.m. in Red Square. In the event of poor weather the dance will be moved to the VikingUnion Lounge. "Nine Lives," another Seattle band, will play for a free afternoon concert and dance May14. Weather permitting, the dance will be held in Red Square or moved to Lecture Hall 3 for a concert.Class Drop Deadline Monday is the last day to drop classes without receiving a failing grade according to Lorraine McGaw of the registrar's office.

Bookstore Board Applications Any senior interested infilling an unexpired term on the Bookstore Board for the remainder of this year can apply for an interviewto AS President Steve Cooper, in the Associated Students offices. Applications will be accepted untilnext Friday. ' By ARNOLD WERNER, M.D. QUESTION: While in Vietnam, I was subject to the loudsounds of artillery and other weapons. During an attack, a round exploded relatively near me. I was notwounded, but my ears gave me trouble for the rest of my tour. In my left ear I could hear several ratherhigh pitched tones. Sometimes the tones are louder than at other times. There also seems to be a fullfeeling. When I was released from active duty the doctor told me the ringing in my ears would go away.It's been almost three years since my separation and if anything the ringing is worse. I don't mind thehearing loss so much but the ringing sometimes bothers me when I try to go to sleep. ANSWER:Hearing depends upon an extraordinarily sensitive mechanism which can be damaged by sudden loudnoises or by sustained periods of exposure to high levels of sound. It is said that performers in rockgroups who spend hours rehearsing with loud amplifiers end up damaging their auditory acuity. Thecondition you describe is technically called tinnitus. Your history certainly suggests that your hearingmechanism was damaged while you were in the service. Find out about getting authorization from theVeterans Administration to be evaluated by a specialist in the area of hearing. Unfortunately, sometypes of ringing in the ears are very difficult to treat as anything done to change the ringing would alsoresult in deafness. You need expert advice. QUESTION: Can I get venereal disease from oral sex?ANSWER: Yes. Syphillis can be transmitted through any type of direct contact with an infected area.Gonorrhea enters the body almost solely through the genital area. 'Bikecology Day' Set for TomorrowBike buffs, by definition a silent crew, intend to be heard and seen tomorrow. They are planning a nation-wide observance of "Bikecology Day" to convince Americans that bicycling is not only a practical mode of transportation but is also a deterrent to environmental abuse and a road to mental and physical health.Originators of the idea are two Santa Barbara, Calif., residents, Ken Kolsbun and Mike Pyzel, who havecontacted more than 5,000 key individuals and organizations throughout the country to solicitparticipation in the event. Each city is expected to plan its own program. "Americans by the thousandsare expected to take to their bikes to show urban planners, politicians and industrialists that cities aremeant for people, not automobiles," Kolsbun and Pyzel said. They also suggest that a portion of federal,state and city transportation funds go for the acquisition, design and development of safe bikeways. They point to Holland and the Scandinavian countries where there is a national network of bicycle paths. "Thecyclist, unlike the motorist, is not sealed within a capsule of protective metalwork," they argue. "As aresult, he is free to experience his immediate surroundings by seeing, smelling and touching."Bellingham's "bikecology hike" is being organized by Dave Shannon, a senior environmental control majorat Huxley from Bellingham. The plan calls for a trip to Sunnyside, on the north side of Lake Whatcom,leaving at 10 a.m. tomorrow from Viking Union 304. Returning time is tentatively set for 3 or 4 p.m.Shannon said that the trip to Sunnyside will take about two hours each way. For further information, callthe Outdoor Program at 676-3112. All area bicyclers are welcome. 'Cabaret1 to be Presented Lone legs, colorful costumes and lots of good music are all wrapped up in "Cabaret."

Atpresent, the Grotto is under the financial auspices of the AS business manager. However, the studentbusiness manager simply does not have the time to devote to the Grotto, according to Jack Smith,assistant director of the Viking Union. The auxiliary enterprises committee voted two years ago a $16,000 appropriation out of the housing and dining budget, for Grotto improvements. Auxiliary Enterprises votedWednesday to approve the appropriation and definitely decided to put the money into variousimprovement programs such as the addition of eight new pool tables as well as better lighting, floorcoverings and wall decorations. Specific breakdowns of the $16,000 include replacing the existing fourpocket billiard tables and carom (pocketless) billiard table with eight gulley pocket tables. NorthernBilliards of Seattle has looked over the area and indicated that there would be sufficient space for thisnumber of tables, according to the Auxiliary Enterprises proposal. In addition, the AS business managerhas agreed that the trade-in on the old tables should be applied to the purchase of the new ones. Costestimate from Northern Billiards for Brunswick Gold Crown gulley pocket tables, complete with six cuesper table, balls, trays, trianbles and wall racks is $1,200 per table ($9,600 inclusive) less a trade-in valueof $300 to $350 per pocket table and $200 for carom table (a total of $1,500). Net cost for tables will be$8,200. Other improvements proposed include purchasing additional billiard equipment necessary forbeginning inventory and equipment repairs, chalk, talc, tips, and extra cues, disposal of shuffleboardfacilities and replacing existing game tables. Other improvements will involve the purchase of spectatorseating (approximately 16 stools), cigarette urns and table seating, installation ot adequate lighting andvinyl asbestos tile flooring, enhancing the appearance of walls, and relocating the present ping pongtable. Any budget surplus would be returned to the housing and dining system. The suggested $1 perhour per table rate represents an increase of 25 cents per table per hour over present rates. The rate willbe raised in order to cover the attendants' wages. Additionally, the rate raise is lower than virtually anycommercial establishment according to Smith. Cope/and Says Birth Rate Lowest in World's History BySUSAN GAWRYS Front Reporter You've undoubtedly heard about the population explosion, the masses of hungry people by the year 2000. You've probably heard about the United States' role, consuming more than its share of people. Gerry Copeland, a representative from Zero Population Growth, said that theUnited States' birth rate in 1970 was the lowest it has ever been. But for Zero Population Growth, it wasn't low enough. Copeland spoke on Wednesday as part of Development Week. Zero Population Growth, an organization started by Paul Ehrlich, author of the Population Bomb, who alerted the world to thehazards of overpopulation, aims for no increase in the population. The United States had a .8 per centincrease last year. This means that, if the .8 per cent rate is constant, there will be 1.5 million moreAmericans yearly, or 2.8 children per family. The United States population will double in 63 years,-Copeland said. "A typical American uses his resources and pollutes his environment 35 times more thana typical citizen of an underdeveloped country," Copeland said. Because the United States is not self-sufficient resource-wise, this places, a burden on underdeveloped countries where two-thirds of thepeople are undernourished, Copeland said. "Why does Seattle City Light advertise for air conditioning?Do we need that type of superfluous consumption?" Copeland asked. "We have to think in terms ofkeeping what we have, instead of allowing the Kent Valley to be taken over by Boeing." Copeland, whoworked in India on family planning, said that the population problem is so massive that it cannot besolved easily. He said that in India, vasectomies weren't always the answer, because that simpleoperation often became infected due to poor facilities. The 30,000-member Zero Population Growththinks that, however huge the overpopulation problem may seem, it is not yet necessary to make twochildren per family mandatory and any more illegal. "It doesn't work out that you can impose your ownsolutions on other people," Copeland said. "The only way to get it done is by educating people and giving tax incentives. There are so many people due to the increase in death control means and the increase in younger people, particularly women, in the population, he said. Got Skill or College Degree? Use Them in the Peace Corps If you're over 18 years of age, possess a skill or college education, and are single,engaged or married you may be eligible for the Peace Corps. To occupationally qualify for the PeaceCorps program, a bachelor degree or skill (qualified tradesman) is the minimum requirement. At thepresent, one-third of the volunteers serving are teachers, although a teaching certificate is not arequirement, according to John Rhinehardt, a representative for the Peace Corps and returned volunteerfrom Colombia. Another third of all applicants are generalists-journaiists and psychologists for example.Generalists work in six specific programs: community health, family planning, rural and urbandevelopment, malaria control, smallpox eradication and environmental problems. "It is helpful andpreferred if an applicant has previous professional experience in a field, but it is not a requirement. Liberal arts people are needed," Rhinehardt said. There are no psychological tests given to applicants as wasthe case in past years. Currently, an applicant need only complete a self-evaluation form and turn in eight references. As of April 23, 1970 no new exemptions for military service were issued by the U.S. military.A two-year postponement of induction is the only benefit given by the Peace Corps. The Peace Corps isactively working in 60 countries and is subsidized by American federal tax programs, such as incometax. The countries encompass areas of Central and South America, Africa, Near East, South Asia, EastAsia and the Pacific. The country in need must ask for help and each country is required to paysomething tor the volunteer service of Peace Corps workers. For example, one country may pay avolunteer's housing costs as remittance for service. The Peace Corps is a non-salaried program; however, volunteers receive several kinds of payment. A living allowance is given which covers housing, food andentertainment. Although the amount paid varies from country to country, the average payment throughoutthe world is approximately $100 for the two-year period, Rhinehardt said. In addition, $175 per month foreach volunteer is banked in Washington, D.C. When a volunteer returns to America he has $ 1,800 netsavings. Medical and dental care are maintained within each country for volunteers and 48 days ofvacation is granted during the two-year period. Each volunteer receives $9 traveling expenses for eachday of vacation. Initial transportation costs to each country, as well as transportation to and from trainingsights are paid by the Peace Corps. There is a three-month training period. Training sites are located inall participating countries as well as in Hawaii, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. The Peace Corps also needs minorities as volunteers. There are approximately 4,000 openings for summer, and prospectiveapplicants should apply six to eight months prior to their availability. Interested students can write thePeace Corps Northwest Area Office, '4525 19th Ave. N.E., Seattle, 98105 or call collect 442-5490.

Or at least, the defendingchampion Central Wildcats won't. This odd, if not bold, statement comes from the realization that sportsand title winners seem to follow a type of .cycle in the professional ranks. So why not apply it tocollegiate circles? The first cycle was the dynasty era. The Yankees ruled baseball, the Packers couldn't be beaten in football, to defeat the Celtics for the hoop crown was unthinkable and Montreal owned thehockey title. As these monarchs grew old, their empire crumbled with age and another cycle began. The upstarts took over. This was particularly noticeable in a number of series between Baltimore and NewYork. The football Jets and Joe Namath scoffed at the odds and shook the sports world with a SuperBowl triumph over the Colts. Following suit, the Mets turned 1969 into a miracle year by whipping theunbelievably powerful Orioles in the World Series. And to complete Baltimore's misery, the Knicksknocked off the Bullets and went on to win the NBA championship. The latest trend is the failure todefend a title once it has been won. Kansas City's Chiefs couldn't even win their own league afterwinning the Super Bowl. Neither did the Knicks or the Boston Bruins get past the semi-finals in the questfor a second consecutive crown. Only the Orioles can halt this cycle. Which brings us back to thecollegiate scene, which seems to be a mixture of all of these trends. UCLA's basketball supremacy isunquestioned. Southern Cal has a thing about NCAA baseball championships. So it would seem that allWestern has to do is beat out Southern Oregon and the other five Evco schools and not worry aboutCentral. Right? Unfortunately, that kind of thinking is like wishing for sun during a typical Northwestwinter. It may happen, but you would be wise to bring your umbrella anyway. Tomorrow, the Viking ninetakes on a strong Eastern Oregon team at Civic Field. Since Western is currently tied with the Wildcatsfor the Evco lead, this twin bill is quite important to Connie Hamilton's squad. At the same time, Centralwill entertain the league's celler dweller, Oregon Tech, in Ellensburg, which is not the easiest place to win. It would be nice if the Viks could rule Central out, since after all, history already has. But you can besure that coach Hamilton isn't using the past as a guide to the Vik success and won't be counting on ***the Wildcats to fold under the pressure of Father Time. And you can bet Central isn't too worried about iteither. Canucks, Gridders Win IM Crowns Two spring intramural championships have been awarded,one in volleyball and the other in weightlifting. In volleyball, the Canucks came out on top in the double e l i m i n a t i o n tournament, defeating the Diggers. The Diggers had beaten the Canucks in the firstmatch, 16-14, 16-14. Since it was the Canucks first loss another match was needed, with the Canuckswinning, 11-15, 17-15 and 15-9. The Hawaiian Alliis took third, with Six Easy Pieces placing fourth. Inweightlifting, the WWSC Football Team took the team crown. Competition took place in five weightdivisions, with each competitor performing the bench press, deadlift and standing press. The Footballers consisted of Steve Skogmo, 165 lbs., Gary -Aagaard, 181 lbs., Rich Nomini, 198 lbs., Marv Nelson, 242 lbs., and Rich Boyd, superheavy. Individual winners were Ron Rudy, 132 lbs., Dan Trudeau, 165 lbs.,Aagaard, 181 lbs., Nelson, 242 lbs., and Bob Christensen, superheavy. Vik Nine Face EOC In VitalEvco Tilt Western's baseball team hosts Eastern Oregon College (EOC) tomorrow afternoon at 12 noon in a crucial doubleheader at Bellingham's Civic Field as the Vikings continue their fight for the EvergreenConference (Evco) title. The Vikings, 5-3 in Evco play, are tied with Central Washington for the leaguelead. Southern Oregon and Oregon College are a half game down in the loss column, each with 6-4marks. EOC is 4-4 in league action and 12-12 overall. Sizing up the Mountainiers coached by HowardFetz, Hamilton said, "He's got a good program going there. Last year they got to the NAIA Districtplayoffs and have three returning all-conference players." One of the three is their leading hitter, infielderSteve Maurer, who has been belting the ball at a .350 clip. Maurer and the Mounties will face a depletedViking pitching staff that has been a trouble spot all year. Most recent casualty was Neil Crawford whosuffered a broken ankle sliding into second base against Southern Oregon two weeks ago. Left-handerDon Balke, who has taken over for Crawford as the Big Blue hill ace, will start the first game againstEOC. He sports a flossy 1.97 earned run average, striking out 47 batters in the 46 innings he's worked.Jim Reed will start the second contest. "Reed has done a good job in relief, said Hamilton, "and deserves a chance to start." Ron Porterfield is hitting .383 to lead the team. Pete Johnson has a .341 mark andRocky Jackson .298. The Vikings lost 3-1 to Seattle University Tuesday afternoon in a rain-abbreviatedcontest at Seattle. Balke, Umbering up for tomorrow gave up 3 runs in the third inning. Reed relieved himand shut the Chieftains out until the rains came to halt the game after five innings. Marty Greget wasresponsible for the only Viking run as he got his first collegiate hit, a home run in the fifth inning.WESTERN FRONT SPORTS Fish Eye Whatcom Fishing Report By SCOTT ANDERSON FrontReporter Fishing has been slow on most Whatcom County and Skagit County lakes since the lowlandlakes opened in mid-April. However, as the weather warms, fishing should improve in most lakes. Silvers should start hitting in Samish and Whatcom Lakes about the middle of this month, provided that theweather stays reasonably warm. Whatcom is generally a slow starter, though cuts to five pounds areoften taken* early in the season. Baker Lake, in Whatcom County, generally provides fair spring fishingbut provides the best catches in the fall. The lake has been almost inaccessible since opening daydue*to much snow and slides in the area. The steadiest producer of fish in Whatcom County this yearhas been Silver Lake, with several limits being taken out of there to date. Fragrance Lake, on Chuckanutmountain, offers good early morning rainbow fishing for those who are willing to pack in a rubber raft anda can of worms. A longer 3-mile hike into Lost Lake along the Jeep road on Chuckanut Mountain canproduce fair rainbow fishing. However, those who prefer the larger trout should wait until midsummerbefore trying their luck at Lost. Since access is through Larrabee State Park for both Lost and FragranceLakes, observe fire hazard regulations. Camping should be done in the park campgrounds and then hikeinto the lakes. Lake Terrell, near Ferndale, holds numerous catfish (you can catch approximately three to four hundred catfish within three hours). Incidentally, Lake Whatcom has some good catfishing aroundJuly in the vicinity of Bloedel-Donovan park. Whatcom and Samish Lakes also are good producers ofspiny rays from about mid-June through early September. Streams and some rivers (see fishingregulation book for rivers and streams that open later or remain closed) open for fishing on May 23. Trout fishing is generally better in the streams, producing more and often healthier fish. Worms work on moststreams, and most local streams are suitable for fly fishing. Hutchinson Creek and Sumas Creek aregood early season producers, as are many of the small streams in northeastern Whatcom county. Thethree forks of the Nooksack River offer good fishing at various times throughout the season, but thefishing is often sporadic and I have come out several times with no fish. One of my favorite streams isSkookum Creek, which runs into the South Fork of the Nooksack. On a three-member one dayexpedition last July, we caught an average of 50 fish per person. Several of the fish, brooks and rainbows, were small, but we brought out nothing under 10 inches. Another favorite stream is Bear Creek, on theway into Baker Lake. It is heavily fished near the parking area, but a hike downstream should result inbetter fishing. If you plan on hiking down as far as the dam, I would recommend a pair of hip waders, asthe water is almost waist deep in places. If you are primarily a spin fisherman, I recommend a 6V2-I footlight action rod, with a Mitchell 300 reel or equivalent. This combination is extremely versatile, and maybe used for occasional trolling, as well as for still fishing. The main advantage of a light action pole is that when a fish strikes even lightly, the tip action is quite pronounced. This sometimes makes trollingdifficult, however, especially in windy weather. For those whose primary interest is trolling, I recommenda medium action rod with a baitcasting reel. As for line, I rarely use more than ten pound test, and forstreams I will go to as light as 3-lb. test. You can go even lighter than this, however, if you want a lot ofaction. Be sure to carry an emergency first-aid kit, especially when hiking, and carry life jackets when in a boat. They may seem cumbersome and space consuming, but they can save your life.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kingsley stressed the need for the new centerby citing an experience he had with one patient. The patient, an extremely nervous veteran, "freaked out" as a train passed outside the clinic.

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

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

He called for the passage of Vote 19, adding, "I would favor Vote 12." The SWP has filed suitagainst the State of Washington voting laws which prescribe filing fees to get on the ballot.

A special state grand jury in Ohioprobing last May's Kent State University killings, exonerated National Guard troops who fired onstudents. In a report last week, the jurors felt that the National Guard fired their weapons undercircumstances which caused them to believe they would suffer bodily injury had they not done so.

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

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

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

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

Western is no exception. More and more students are finding it difficult totake classes in their major or minor areas as the reduced level of spending has caused cutbacks in alldepartments. Here are details of three departments facing the pinch on campus. "We turn awayhundreds from classes," Sam Porter, chairman of the techology department, said. In some cases morethan 100 people will try to get into a class that will hold no more than 20. Porter cited instances ofmajors in technology waiting until their junior year before they could take freshman level tech courses."We need a few more faculty and a little more space," he said. Latest figures show 365 persons havetech as a major and 90 have it for a minor. Currently the department has 13 full-time instructors andthree are working part time. "We can't adjust the faculty fast enough to keep up with the student'schanging needs." The department has requested three additional instructors, two full-time an;one part-time. "This would greatly help for one or two years," Porter said. "We'd go Saturdays, Sundays andnights, if we had the faculty." Near technology is the art department with much the same problem. Last year the art department was cut from 19 to 17 faculty members. It has 461 majors and 192 minors."The way it is now, it's almost impossible for a student to get started on his major in his freshman yearor for a transfer student to get into any art classes until his second or third quarter at Western,"commented David Marsh, chairman of the art department. "By the end of junior registration for winterquarter, there were no sophomore art classes available and the freshman classes were filled withsophomores." Marsh noted that more cutbacks were made in the arts and humanities areas than in thescience and math areas. "The inordinate number of scientists in the administration may be a cause ofthe budgeting decisions." There is a curriculum change proposal for the art department presently beforethe Academic Council, which Marsh hopes will parially alleviate the problem of overcrowding. "It can'tget any worse," he said. As more and more students realize the scarcity of teaching jobs they arebeginning to plan for careers in other fields. The business and economics department is also toopopular. C h a i r m a n of that department, Howard Mitchell, said last week that they might have to cutback 10 to 15 per cent on last year's enrollment. "We don't have the exact figures, but we are staffedbelow the average formula for the college," Mitchell said. Business and economics has 22 full-timefaculty members instructing 616 majors, and 371 minors. Mitchell said one of the problems is trying toprovide enough course sections for the surplus of interested students. "We seem to be a very populardepartment," Mitchell said, "but we can't respond adequately to the interest that's expressed."Enrollment in business and economics courses at Western has risen between 1 5 and 20 per centrecently, almost twice as much as the college overall. The current overpopularity in Mitchell's department started in the fall of 1970 when students interest shifted from teacher education to other areas. Another of the problems Mitchell must contend with is the difficulty recruiting the best possible teachers.Starting salaries in his department average about $1,500 below the salaries at similar institutions. AtWestern it is about $ 11,000 compared to an average of $12,500 elsewhere. "We're at a competitivedisadvantage," Mitchell said. "Our ability to improve depends upon whether or not the college can getsufficient additional funds to help out the various departments that are experiencing heavy studentenrollment." An information bulletin from the Seattle Community College Federation of Teachersmentions a gradual deterioration of quality education at SCC. "Some symptoms of this are largerclasses, overloaded labs, insufficient equipment and supplies, long waiting lists, closed classes." Thefederation went on strike in an attempt to rectify these and other problems. The Board of Trustees atSCC obtained a restraining order forcing the teachers back to classes. John Barton, president of theSCC chapter of the federation will speak at a meeting in BH 105 Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Barton, who isalso the legislative chairman of the Washington State Federation of Teachers, will discuss theintentions and consequences of the strike at SCC. Get behind the Front Today is the second day ofpress week, sponsored by the Western Front. The entire college community is invited to visit the Frontoffice, located in VU 313, to meet the staff and take advantage of complimentary coffee and doughnuts.Various displays illustrating the physical production of the Front are available for public scrutiny. Staffmembers are on hand throughout the day to answer questions and offer explanations on all aspects ofFront production. In addition, Pat Oliphant, Pulitzer Prize winning cartoonist for the Denver Post, is oncampus today, as guest journalist-in-residence, sponsored by the ' journalism program. In conjunctionwith press week, an open forum panel will be held Friday, at 1 p.m. in the VU Lounge. Several studentleaders will be available to answer questions concerning their respective positions in an attempt to openchannels between themselves and the college community. Press week will continue through Friday. ---------- Western Front - 1972 February 8 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Tuesday, February 8, 1972 ' . . . ON SECOND THOUGHTS, THE HEU WITH IT!" FrontEditorials Racers are getting waxed The ethical motivation behind the decision of the Activities Councilto suspend Western ski team funds for the remainder of this academic year (see story, page 8) for"misuse of funds" is undeniably clear, yet we cannot help but question the original intent of the allotmentgranted through the ski team's budget. It is an irrefutable fact that snow skiing, as a recreational activity, is an expensive venture in itself. When placed in a competitive light, however, the "venture" tends tobecome quite costly. The ski team's former budget stipulated that money obtained from college sourceswas allowed to pay only for mileage, gas and lodging. The budget did not include monetary coverage forlift tickets, costing $6 per ticket, nor did anyone appear to take into consideration money spent by theracers for equipment, uniforms and maintenance of both. It would seem only logical that instead offinancing the Western ski team's gas and mileage expenses, the college could have paid for, in full or inpart, lift ticket costs. We are not condoning the ski team's tactics from an ethical viewpoint. It is, however, a matter which should be considered by the Activities Council from a motive-oriented viewpoint. The skiteam members were apparently not pocketing money received, nor were they spending the extra dollarson "after hours" entertainment. Their motives, in fact, appear to be purely logical as far as economy goes.The question that now remains is next year's ski team budget, if there is to be one. Would it not be moreplausible to transfer monies from travel expense to another category labeled " l i f t ticket expense?" Thefact remains, as the article in today's Western Front points out, that Western's ski team has madeadmirable showings at races thus far this season.

"Idon't believe you," Milton Bizz said. "But it's true. A college student will never admit he doesn'tunderstand something. It just goes against the grain," Farly Bulous said. "I mean college students arelike the people in the story, "The Emperor's New Clothes." They can see some guy walking nude downthe street and think up some rational explanation for it. They would never say 'Hey, this guy is nude and I don't understand why.' No, they'll say something like 'This man is flaunting the establishment andshowing his total freedom.' "You see," Farly went on, "college students are terribly frightened of showingany signs of stupidity in front of other students, especially when they encounter something that is totallyincomprehensible. The more idiotic it is the more a student will try to think up some rational answer. Butnever will they say they don't understand." "I still don't believe you," Milton said. "Okay, then meet meout on Red Square tomorrow at noon and I'll prove it to you." The next day at noon, Milton walked out toRed Square and saw a small crowd gathered around a six-foot toe. He went over to the toe and tapped iton its side. "Is that you, Farly?" he asked. "Yeah. Now just stand back and watch," came a muffled reply. Milton stood back a little and looked the toe over. He had to congratulate Farly on his craftsmanship.The toe was made out of paper mache and painted green, and if it wasn't for a bright orange toenail, itwould look like it was plucked off the Jolly Green Giant that morning. Most students only slowed down as they passed the toe, giving it a quick once over and then hurry on their way. But one student steppedout of the small crowd around the toe and looked it over with a critical eye. "Yes, it is definitely a phallicsymbol," he said, nodding his head. "The artist is attempting to say 'Screw the world, I am what I am.'And what he is is a big toe," someone said. "Possibly," another student said. "But don't you think theartist is also trying to rid himself from his tortured environment through a manifestation?" This studenttook out his pipe and gave the toe an authoritative tap to drive home his point. As if on cue, the toe stoodup and starting running around Red Square fountain, every once in a while leaping high into the air. Noneof the students watching this showed any signs of surprise at a toe running around the fountain, but a fewdid clap. "The artist is now showing life is a continuous circle and man must always run in it with the help of his toe," someone said. Milton watched in awe as Farly continued running around the fountain. Morestudents were stopping and offering comments about what was going on; some thought the toe waspainted green to symbolize the ecology movement and others said it was green to symbolize life. No one asked why a six-foot green toe was running around Red Square fountain. Suddenly Farly hit a spot of ice on the fountain's wall and fell on his head. The crowd roared its approval. "So man's life is a circle, butunlike a circle, it must come to an end," the student with the pipe shouted. "No, no," another said, "thetoe died from its polluted environment." No one else could offer any further explanation about the toe andso the crowd broke up and the students went their separate ways. Milton ran up to Farly who was stilllying on the bricks and shook the large toe. He could hear Farly rattling around inside like a peanut in ashell. "Okay, Farly, you proved your point. No one questioned your motives," Milton told a somewhatdazed Farly as he crawled out of bottom of the toe. "Of course not. They would never think of it." Farlystood the toe upright and eyed it. "How about if I put a light on the top and made it into a lamp? Do youthink I could sell it?" "Sure," Milton said. "The school would buy it with no questions asked." Althoughthere will be no art offered, the Western Front is throwing open its doors to the public for Press Week. Allstudents are welcomed to come down to the office and oggle at the reporters, who are said to have some artistic value all their own. ---------- Western Front - 1972 February 8 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, February 8, 1972 Western Front 3 Letters: Susan Anastasio spins "modern day" fable Editor,Western Front: Once upon a time there was a family named Cy-Gon. Mr. Cy-Gon had two children, Proand Anti. Now Mr. Cy-Gon's method of running the family was considered oppressive by Anti, so herebelled. Pro remained acquiescent to his father. Mr. Cy-Gon had a friend. Mr. Sam Ericka, who livedthousands of miles away. Sam took a great interest in the affairs of the Cy-Gon family, and decided that Anti must be punished for rebelling against his father. So Sam sent his obedient son, Joe, to beat Antiinto submission. Joe, being unfamiliar with the Cy-Gon family, could not tell the difference between Proand Anti, so rained blows on both with undiscriminating vigor. Now Mr. Cy-Gon had a brother, Han-Noy,who was sympathetic to Anti's rebellion. Sam Ericka decided from far away that Han-Noy should bepunished for his sympathy, so he sent another son, Sam Jr., to attack Han-Noy. Sam told Sam Jr. thatthe rebellion was really Han-Noy's idea, and that Han-Noy had started all the trouble. Sam Jr. and Joefought and fought, and beat and beat against Anti and Han-Noy, to no avail. You remember that theycould not discriminate between Pro and Anti, so Mr. Cy-Gon's c h i l d r e n both suffered extremely,even though Sam had sent his sons to help Pro. Now Sam Ericka had another son, John, who had been watching and thinking about all this. Seeing that things were going badly for Mr. Cy-Gon, Sam said,"John, you get on over there and beat hell out of Han-Noy and Anti Cy-Gon." "But father," said John,"mother always told me to mind my own business.and stay out of other people's family quarrels!" "Thisis different," said Sam. "If Anti and Han-Noy win over Mr. Cy-Gon, they'll come over here and we'll haveto fight them on our own doorstep." "But why would they come over here? Anti wasn't mad at us, hewas mad at Mr. Cy-Gon, and Han-Noy wasn't mad at us either, until Sam Jr. and Joe started beating onhim. If we stop, they won't be mad." "Well, son, you may not know it, but all the trouble is really thefault of Han-Noy and Cy-Gon's close neighbor, Red Chy-Nah. He's the one who's behind the rebellion,and he wants to come over here and . attack us." " "But father, Red Chy-Nah hasn't done a thing to help Anti or Han-Noy. As a matter of fact, Cy-Gon and Pro and Anti and Han-Noy all hate Red Chy-Nahâ€”they've been enemies for ages!" "Never mind, son, you just get on over there." "But father, howcan we help Cy-Gon and Pro if we hurt Pro just as much as Anti? And what has Anti ever done to us?"That's enough, son-get on over there!" But John refused to go. Sam threatened to put him in jail forbeing incorrigible, so John left home rather than obey his father and hurt the far-away people who haddone him no harm. Many years later, Sam suddenly decided that Red Chy-Nah would not attack himafter all. In fact, he decided to travel far and pay a friendly visit to Mr. Chy-Nah. John heard of this andrejoiced. "Now," he thought, "Joe and Sam Jr. can stop beating up Pro and Anti and Han-Noy and letthem settle their own family quarrel." But John was mistaken. Sam allowed Joe to come home, but toldSam Jr. to keep pounding Han-Noy and get in a few more licks on Anti while he was at it. "If Pro getshurt," Sam added, "it's his own fault for looking so much like Anti and being in the way." Joe waswelcomed home proudly by Sam. "You've been a good son. You've done your duty and defended yourhome." "Where's John?" asked Joe. "And how was I defending our home by punching Anti and Han-Noy thousands of miles away?" "Never mind that," said Sam. "John left, and he'd better not come back. Hewouldn't go to the Cy-Gon's and beat up Anti and Han-Noy when I told him to. He's worse than amurderer!" "But father," said Joe, "I only went because I didn't understand the situation. Didn't motheralways tell us to mind our own business and stay out of other people's family quarrels?" "This isdifferent," said Sam. "If Anti and Han-Noy win over Mr. Cy-Gon, . . ." Moral: SOME PEOPLE NEVERLEARN Susan Anastasio Bravo/ Editor, Western Front: I congratulate the Western Front onmaintaining the high standards of journalistic excellence I have come to know and expect. I can nolonger still my rapture. If my suspicions are correct, the new parking permits for Infirmary patients is the most blatant rip-off Western has tried to pull yet. And I will maintain my suspicions until I find out howmuch extra these permits will cost sick students. I hope it's me that's poorly informed. I must alsoexpress my joy at seeing the "Dr. Burke and His Seven Presidents" story in the last issue of the Front. I had had the misfortune of reading page 6 of the Nov. 25 issue of the "Rolling Stone" saying that thestory was a hoax. Perhaps the Front can clear up this little matter for me. G.W. Hunter FairhavenCollege Lauds Front Editor, Western Front: Thank you for the revealing article on prophylactics in lastTuesday's paper. Although the headline, "Condoms may come to Campus" at first confused me, I soonwas enlightened and so I no longer envisioned some menacing force ready to attack this campus. Icongratulate the Western Front for touching on these sensitive areas that are too often covered up andignored. Dan Harmon Sophomore, English Art proposed for library Two major pieces of art have beenproposed to Western's Board of Trustees by architect Fred Bassetti, designer of the Wilson Libraryadditions. The first proposal, a cluster of polyhedrons (many-sided figures) sculpted of redwood or cedar with a bronze block suspended inside, would be placed between the library and Haggard Hall. Thebronze piece would have the 26 letters of the alphabet, the ten arabic numerals and the symbols for Piand infinity carved on its 38 surfaces. The 38 surfaces would appear through eight openings in thesurrounding wooden structure. The piece, designed by Bassetti, would resemble a large cube set on one end and is to complement the Noguchi "sky viewer" sculpture in Red Square. The second piece, arepresentative statue in red or dark granite, is to be placed at the north entrance of the library. Designed by artist Richard Beyer, the figure will be approximately 5 feet by 5 feet by 5 feet and represent either a bear or cougar. The suggestion of a cougar raised some eyebrows at the Board of Trustees meeting."A Cougar?" exclaimed President Charles J. Flora. "He must have graduated from WSU." Bissetti alsoproposed a series of tapestries, paintings and enlarged photographs for the interior of the newly-remodeled library. BOT opproves personnel changes Western's Board of Trustees approved 10personnel actions last Thursday. Lynne Marie Yurovchak was appointed lecturer in economic andbusiness for Winter quarter, 1972.

"I've drawn since I could h o l d a p e n c i l , " the Australian-born cartoonist said. He begancartooning while working as a copy boy on an Australian newspaper. "I was just around the paperdrawing a lot. I guess they hired me because they were cheap," he said. Almost the equivalent ofOliphant's signature is the miniature penguin, Punk, in the corner of each cartoon, which made its firstappearance in 1957. "It was born of frustration. I used this as a vehicle for sneaking my own ideasthrough because, at that paper, I was restricted in what 1 could say." In 1966, the political cartoonist ofthe Denver Times, Paul Conrad, left Denver for the Los Angeles Times. Oliphant read of Conrad'sdeparture, applied to the Post and was hired. "It was difficult to follow Conrad. My style was differentthan what people had been used to, both with Conrad and nationally," he said. Within two years Oliphant had captured a Pulitzer Prize for his cartoons. But he doesn't think much of the Pulitzer. "If you just sit around long enough, it will come. It's largely overrated and doesn't really reflect any achievement," hesaid. Oliphant feels that the main job of the cartoonist is to start discussion. He considers humor ahighly persuasive political tactic. He sees the newest women's publication, Ms., as being heavy-handed. "They'll never be effective until they learn to laugh at themselves," he commented. Cartoonistscaricature those who lend themselves most easily to it, and Oliphant's feeling is "the uglier, the better."Nixon fits his scheme "pretty well," he says. Introducing Gregory J. Pfeiffer A new Representative with College Master 825 N. Garden 734-8100 Greg, 22, joined the local College Master agency in January. A 1971 graduate of the University of Washington, Greg and his wife Tab presently reside in Ferndale. Gregbelieves "To make friends in my business and to make friendliness my business," is the key to hisforemost goalâ€”winning the National Quality Award for excellence in the insurance field.

ELECTRONIC REPAIR Alatnma ConwwM 733-5W By BILL DIETRICH StaffReporter College President Charles J. Flora has not made a decision on the proposal to installprophlactic vending machines at Western, but he is concerned about public reaction to such a move.Washington state colleges are in a financial bind because of legislative budget cuts, Flora said, andthese cuts were made partially because legislators aren't too happy with higher education. "They thinksomething's wrong because of activism and because college promulgates moral deterioration," Florasaid. "There is a concern that we are bastions of immorality." Installation of prophylactic vendingmachines in public places on campus would be viewed as a further indication of moral breakdown in thecollege community, Flora said. "It would enhance the view that colleges are morally reprehensible," headded. Flora said he resented this reasoning since Western is "an institution of truth and the truth must out, whatever the reverberations." He questioned whether the use of condoms will reduce the venerealdisease rate. It might increase sexual activity since installation of the prophylactic machines could beviewed as an endorsement for promiscuity. Flora also questioned the value of man's choice to regulatehis sexual behavior. "I don't think a lot of people have really thought this out," he added. Floracommented on the past and future of Western.'Looking back fifteen years, he said, "not in my wildestdreams" did he foresee the amount of change that has come to Western. Looking toward a Western ofthe future, Flora said, "I would like to see greater vigor, greater intellectual expectation, greater concernin matters of the mind. Every student should have his very best demanded so that when he walks out ofhere, he will say, 'My God, I'm proud!' " Recycling needs truck drivers Truck drivers are desperatelyneeded to carry recyclable material from dorms and administrative buildings to Huxley College,according to Barry Maddocks, who is in charge of Western's recycling program. He said the storageareas for bottles and papers have been declared a fire hazard by the security department and the firemarshall.

As a result, he is working on a transportation system proposal which has to be submitted to thecollege fire marshall by Feb. 7. The proposal will tell where people can leave their recyclables and whenand where drivers can pick them up. Interested truck drivers can contact Maddocks in the AssociatedStudents office at 676-3460. Gas and other expenses will be reimbursed, Maddocks said. Charles J.Flora "But people don't feel proud when they're not challenged." Postulating a different future, Florafeared that all state colleges might be put under a state agency, bringing them to an even level ofmediocrity.

After two years of sharpdeclines in the job market, "A five per cent increase in hiring, across the board, in all disciplines at alldegree levels is anticipated," noted a major survey of employers released late last month. The study,conducted by the College Placement Council, Inc., c o v e r e d 835 employing organizations. There will be a 30 per cent increase in job openings for persons with Ph.D.'s, who have been severely hurt by thejob decline. Openings for persons with Bachelors of Arts degrees in sciences, mathematics and othertechnical disciplines are expected to increase by 20 per cent, the council's report said. But majors inliberal arts will be worse off than last year. "Even with the increases, the number of anticipated hirings is still considerably below" the peaks of the job boom years of the late 1960's, the report cautioned.College placement officers across the country confirmed the council's report and voiced cautiousoptimism about the June job market, according to a check of 32 colleges by the New York Times. Theplacement experts said that ethnic minority graduates have the best job prospects of any group.Women, too, will find more job openings than in th'epast. 1([{stereo)) 93 24 Hour/50,000 Watts Todaygive K I S S 'em and O L D E G O L D E a listen OLDE GOLDE is an exciting entertainment dimension. ..

Photo by JIM THOMSON PEmerger, building projects ok'd by Western's Board of Trustees By DAN TOLVA Staff Reporter Themerger of the men's and women's physical education departments "was approved by Western's Board of Trustees last Thursday. College President Charles J. Flora and Provost Frederick Sargent II supportedthe merger which will take effect Fall quarter. "The merger makes eminent sense, academically andfinancially," Sargent told the four board members present. In other action, the board reviewed severalcapital improvement projects. Architect Fred Bassetti told the board that modification of Wilson librarywould be completed "soon." He dismissed the Feb. 15 completion date set by the contractors as toooptimistic. Plans for finishing the fifth floor attic and the east wing of the third floor were not included inthe original contract. Since the cost of the present addition to the library was overestimated, Bassettisaid there are some funds available for these projects now. The plans include stacks, offices andreading rooms for the third floor addition and a listening/viewing facility, e d u c a t i o n a l curriculummaterials, the archives and a staff lounge for the attic. Completion is scheduled for Fall quarter and willcost about $159,000. The Board of Trustees a p p r o v e d the project unanimously. Business manager Donald Cole told the board that budget requests for the 1973-5 biennium are behind schedule becauseguidelines haven't been sent by the state. Cole forecast a modest growth in enrollment for the nextseven years. Campus Planner Barney Goltz told the board there were no new housing projects plannedbefore 1975. Goltz said the state requires an environmental impact statement from all colleges withbuilding projects underway. This study would detail the impact of college expansion on the naturalenvironment as well as esthetic and historical surroundings. Guidelines from the state's environmentalprotection agency and Health, Education and Welfare have been received, Goltz said. The board alsoapproved the completion of a temporary baseball practice diamond to be located on south campusbetween Buchanan Towers and Carver Gym. The plans â€¢ are to build a retaining wall to serve asbackstop and to seed the area to prevent erosion, providing a playing field that will last two years.Eventually several practice fields, two tennis courts and a central structure with restrooms and storagefacilities are planned for the area. An addition to the steam heating plant was approved by the board.The 40 by 50 foot addition will house a chill water plant. Board members present were: Harold C.Philbrick, chairman; Mrs. Fred Butterworth, vice-chairman; Robert W. Winston Jr.j and Paul B. Hanson. Board Secretary Patrick C. Comfort was absent. Aid asked for student services Money was the maintopic as the AS legislature- meeting on Wednesday as it received requests for funds from thecounseling center and health services, the Housing and Employment Commission and the day carecenter at Fairhaven. In other action, the legislature received a proposal concerning Lakewood and hearda progress report on the Information Volunteer Center. Frank Nugent, former director of the counselingcenter, and two other staff members told the legislature that the center is understaffed at the same timethat it is increasing its services to the college community. For an effective setup, Nugent said, onecounselor can take care of approximately 200 people, but at Western there is one counselor for 2,000."We try to take those people who are emergency cases right away," he said. "We might have to leave aperson we have an appointment with in order to do that. This is pretty bad for students and for thecounselor." The counseling center has five staff members, but Nugent said they need at least eight. Hesaid the funds for the center were cut back last year and there are no funds for next year. A psychiatristis only on campus four hours a week now. "Of all the staffs," Nugent said, "we are the only one to havea professional staff cut." He said health services and the counseling center need a lot of help becausethey get the "temper of the crises on campus." He pointed out that the budget for health services andthe counseling center is $115,000, but that $30,000 to $40,000 more is needed. "Without this money,we are going to continue having staff difficulties," he said. Gary Duvall, legislator, suggested thepossibility of taking $1 out of the floating $2 bookstore fee and splitting it between health services andthe counseling center. The use of this $2 collected from student fees has been undecided since thebookstore bond was paid off. The legislature decided to check with President Flora about the situationwith this money. $1350 was approved for the Housing and Employment Commission for employees'wages, postage, printing and other administrative costs. A memo had been sent to AS President TodSundquist by Housing and Employment Commissioner Craig Cole concerning lack of funds because ofextensive printing which was done during Fall quarter. A representative from the day care center atFairhaven requested funds for a telephone saying that it is essential in case of emergency. Therepresentative also said the center has been disorganized without a telephone because there is acommunication breakdown between parents, children and the cirector of the center. The legislatureresponded to the request by budgeting whatever is necessary to have a phone installed. A proposalconcerning ownership of Lakewood was submitted by Barry Boniface, programs coordinator. Lakewoodis currently owned by the AS, but the proposal would turn ownership over to the college since the AScannot legally own property. The proposal would still give AS control over the facilities. It was movedthat the legislature postpone action on the proposal until the next meeting to allow time for thelegislators to read it. Dean Powers of the Information Volunteer Center told the legislature the centerwould officially open on Feb. 28 and be set up across from the Viking Union desk. The area will include a desk and bulletin boards to post information for those needing volunteers. He said the paper work forthe center will be done in VU 006. . ---------- Western Front - 1972 February 8 - Page 7 ---------- Tuesday, February 8, 1972 Western Front 7 Trash Theater It can't happen here?

N.Y. 13201 Western ski teamsuspended for admitted"misuse" of funds By BOB McLAUCHLAN Exchange Editor Western's ski teamhas been suspended until after Oct. 1, 1972 by the Activities council because of "admitted" misuse offunds. AS Business manager Rich Hass said that the ski team had padded a requisition form with theintent of getting more money to attend the Oregon State University's invitational race at Bend, Oregonthe weekend before last. He said the team had submitted on the report, a list of 15 people who weresupposed to attend the meet, but only eight had actually planned on going. Under a school formula, theteam is allowed three-fourths of a cent per-person per mile for gas and $2.50 per person a night forlodging. By this formula, the more people participating in the race, the more money can be taken out ofthe team's budget which is $ 1,700 for this year, Hass said. Only a certain amount of money cantherefore be given to the team for each race. When Hass discovered that only eight were going out of the 15 on the requisition form, he told them that they would not get any money for the race. Apparently, the whole team knew about the padding, Hass said. Last Monday, Hass took the matter before theActivities C o u n c i l which voted unanimously to stop funding the ski team. The team was also deniedthe right to represent Western in any Northwest Ski Conference event for the remainder of the 1971-2academic year. Restoration of funds will not be considered by the Activities Council until after Oct. 1.This year's funds will be reverted to the council's contingency fund. The council decided not to presscharges with the collegiate Judiciary or the Civil authorities against any individuals involved, although,charges could have been filed, Hass pointed out. "I do not think that people understand the seriousnessof this," he said. "It is a misuse of state funds and the team could be criminally prosecuted." Aspokesman for the ski team said that the suspension will be appealed to the Associated StudentsAffairs Council, which the Activities Council said the team could do. He said that the reason the teampadded the requisition form with extra names is because individually, the team was hurting for finances."We were making it easier for each member to pay for expenses," the spokesman said. "What we weredoing was drawing a little more money out of the budget which was already there for the team. Iconsidered it more as money to be spent." He pointed out that the formula only allows for gas, lodgingand "supposedly" for food. "But there is nothing in it which considers ski lift tickets which are six dollars a day," nor is there any consideration for training and practicing. It was costing each person about sixdollars extra to race for the college, he said. "Everyone on the team was complaining about the addedprice," he said. One thing which is never considered is that each member has to buy his own skis andboots which run about $300 and most of the team buys new equipment every year, he added. He agreed with Hass in that the school should not finance the team totally, but "the school did not even offer us astate car, which the team was allowed to use last year." Also'the $1,700 total team budget for this yearwas cut about half of what it was last year, he said. The spokesman pointed out that the suspensionoccurred because somebody on the team a d m i t t e d to program coordinator Barry Bonifas that theteam was trying to get money for lift tickets. This occurred after Rich Hass told them that they would not get any money for the race. What should have been done, the spokesman said, is to say that slating15 participants to go was a mistake and that only eight were planning to go. He pointed out that thistype of padding had been done by ski teams in the past and he believes that other organizations around campus have done likewise. The ski team this year has attended races at Alpental on SnoqualmiePass where it placed fourth overall, and at Crystal Mountain where the team placed third. The 15-member team was composed of a five-member women's team and a ten-member "A" and "B" men'steam. The spokesman said that regardless of whatever happens with the appeal, the team plans onracing as individuals at the remaining three conference meets if they can raise enough money.

"Academic in Retreat," by Dr. Joseph Fashing and Dr. Steven Deutsch, also saysthe college's low enrollment, small number of graduate students, emphasis on undergraduate educationand active faculty make Western an ideal liberal arts college. Fashing teaches at the University of NewMexico and Deutsch at the University of Oregon.. In "Academics in Retreat" they describe studies ofsix colleges and universities in the West Coast area, focusing on the effects of academic innovation ongovernance and decision making. The authors are especially impressed with Western's cluster orsatellite colleges, such as Fairhaven. The best features of a large university, libraries and laboratories,for example, are combined with a small college atmosphere which allows close faculty-studentinteraction. Because of this concept Fairhaven is limited to 600 students. Faculty members decide their teaching loads and divied their time between seminars and other classes. Students have only tworequired courses, one in history and one in science, during their four years at the college. Otherselections are made from offerings which include a broad range of seminars and a m p l e opportunity for independent study.

JOHNSON Staff Reporter WashingtonState proved to be the dominant team this weekend as the Cougars recorded victories over Western,Southern Oregon and Oregon College in round-robin wrestling matches at Carver Gym Friday andSaturday. In the Cougars 32-3 rout over Lanny Bryant's Viking grapplers, Western came up with onlyone individual match victory, that recorded by Tom Tripple, 142, in a 10-6 decision. Three Vikingwrestlers, Mike Donnelly, 118, Randy Tomaras, 126 and Lee Andersen all dropped close decisions totheir opponents, none losing by more than two points. Donnelly was beaten 5-3; Tomaras lost 5-4, andAndersen was dropped 7-5. All three wrestlers still remain unbeaten in conference action. The man ofthe hour for the Vikings Friday night in Western's 30-9 victory over tenth ranked Oregon College ofEducation was Mike Compton. Compton, wrestling at 190, faced OCE's Rich Edwards, the defendingNAIA national champion. Edwards was runner-up in 1970. Comoton was behind on points in the thirdperiod when he maneuvered Edwards around, flipped him on his back and waited for the referee to slaphis hand on the mat. After the signal of the pin had been given, Compton was met by the entire Vikingteam and congratulated by each one on his surprise victory over Edwards. Edwards arose from the mat in disbelief of what had happened. John Donnelly also recorded a pin against his opponent in 3:40, tokeep his unbeated sting alive. Western came within two seconds of upsetting fifth nationally rankedSouthern Oregon Saturday afternoon. Southern Oregon led 17-15 going into the final match, theheavyweight class, between Western's Jeff Michaelson and the Red Raider's Vern Dulany. At the end ofregulation time, the scoreboard had Michaelson on top 4-3. However, Dulany had two more secondsriding time than did Michaelson so Dulany was awarded an additional point. That evened the match andgave each team two points, preserving the victory for Southern Oregon. Vik swim meet canceledWestern's scheduled swim meet with Eastern Washington was canceled Friday.

The Viks have four more conference games left.Eastern Washington was upset by Oregon Tech, 92-90, Saturday in Klamath Falls, Ore., to help give the Viks a fairly comfortable margin. The wins also gave the nationally ranked Vikings an 18-0 seasonrecord. Western was scheduled to play St. Martin's College in Lacey last night. _Against Central,Western won in Ellensburg~for-theHrirst time since 1967. Cold Viking hands and hot Central shootingput the Viks' win streak in jeopardy early in the contest, as Central broke to a 19-10 lead. Vik centerRudy Thomas scored the first three Western buckets, which was the only thing that kept the Viks closein the early going. The Wildcats' All-Evco forward Rich Hanson was the primary thorn in Western's side, scoring 33 points for the evening before fouling out. Nineteen of Hanson's points came in the first half.With Central ahead by nine, Gary White sparked a Vik comeback with two field goals on fine passesfrom Tom Bradley. Four free throws and a field goal preceded a White jumper from 13 feet which made a score 23-22. Hanson and Bill Eldred gave the 'Cats a five point lead when White put in four free throwsto again narrow it to one and a Mike Franza lay-in gave the Viks their first lead of the game, at 28-27.Both teams traded baskets the rest of the half, with Western's Roger Fuson having the last word, withtwo corner shots for a 36-35 Viking lead at the intermission. Western never gave up the lead from thereon in, but the Wildcats kept all 5,145 s p e c t a t o r s , i n c l u d i ng approximately 500 fromWestern, in suspense right up to the final buzzer. The Viks broke to an eight point spread in the secondhalf, on six straight points by Mike Franza, two Fuson freethrows and a Thomas hook shot. Westerneventually lead by 14, at 67-53, with six minutes left, as Hanson led Central in a surge which nearlyended the Vikings' winning streak. Hanson scored eight points to pace a Wildcat attack to within two,at 71-69, before fouling out. Four free throws by Fuson and another by Bradley cinched the win.Hanson shot mostly inside, connecting on 10 of 13 tries. An otherwise ironclad Viking defense allowedno other Wildcat in double figures. Bill Chatman, Central's leading scorer who also led the league inscoring going into the game was held to just nine points. White led Western with 21 points, including 11 of 14 from the free throw line. Franza added 18, followed by Thomas, Fuson and Bradley with 13,12 and 11, respectively. Western's win came from the charity line, as Central oiU field goaled the Viks, 24-23.. The Vikings connected on 30 of 36 Tree throw attempts', with their'final 11 points beirfg free throws.Against OCE, the game was not as close ae the final score indicated.

JV's edge Central in overtime G e t t i n go u t s t a n d i ng performance from center Dick Bissell, Western's junior varsity basketball team pulledout another come from behind victory, this time over the Central junior varsity, 84-81, in overtime.Bissell,. a 6-6 sophomore from Bellevue's Newport High School, poured in 27 points, including twoovertime free throws which iced the win. The vietory gave the Vikings a 12-3 record for the season andwas their second decision of the year over the Wildcats, having beaten them earlier in Bellingham, 65-58. The game was tied at 80-80, with 15 seconds left and the ball belonging to Western, when the timer blew the horn because of a rule which states that the game must finish by 7 p.m. in order to give thevarsity teams a half hour to warm up. However, both varsity coaches gave the go-ahead to finish thegame. Western missed a shot and Central rebounded and put up a shot of their own. The Wildcatsmissed and Chuck Fisher grabbed the ball with one second left, but Bissell was called for a holding foul. Central center Rick Bass missed the first of a one-and-one situation and Bissell snared the carom tosend the game into an extra period. Wildcat Ray Henderson hit the first of a bonus free throw attemptand missed the second to give Central an 81-80 lead. Bissell was then fouled by Bass and put two shots through for an 82-81 lead. Bissell hit all five of his attempts from the charity lie. A lay-in by Chuck Price provided the safety cushion for the win. The Vikings were ahead only once in the first half, at 7-6,before Central worked for what eventually became 14 point lead, at 32-18. The Vikings then began whathas become a trademark this season by inching back into the game, trailing by only seven, 46-39, at the half. Western tied the game at 53-53 on a Bissell free throw and took the lead on another charity tossbv Price. The Viks worked for a seven, point lead, before Central roared back to take the lead on a JohnLambert bucket. Central led by three, 77-74, late in the game when Price and Chuck Fisher combined to give Western an 80-77 edee. A Rod Jeske free throw and a Bass jumper tied the knot at 80, setting upthe final action. Fisher followed Bissell in a balanced Vik scoring attack, accounting for 22 points, withMark Salzman and Price getting 13 and 12 respectively. Henderson paced the Wildcats with 26counters, followed by Jeske, Mark Korsmo, and Bass with 15, 12, and 10, respectively. Fouls almostdoomed the Rich Tucker-tutored Vikings, with Jim Hotvet fouling out, Bissell, Fisher, Price and JoeHunter each drawing four, and Salzman was caught for three. The jayvees have only eight teammembers. Western held a 32-25 field goal advantage over Central, but hte 'Cats made it up by shooting27 of 35 from the line, while the Viks went 20 for 28. The Vik jayvees have four more games left, withFriday's contest being their final home game of the year. Western will host the f r e s h m e n fromSeattle University Friday, a team which SU varsity coach Bucky Buckwalter has called one of- SU'sbest ever. Game time for that one is 5:30 p.m., as a preliminary to the varsity contest between Western and Southern Oregon.

In the second half however, the Viks broke to a quick nine point lead andwidened it to 15, when with three minutes left, Western coach Chuck Randall cleared the bench. TheWolves used the inexperience of the reserves to close to with in three at the end, but ran out of time todo anything more damage. Franza had the hot hand against OCE, hitting nine of 13 field goal attempts,and a perfect three-for-three at the line for 21 points. Thomas was the only other Viking in doublefigures, scoring Western held a 27-16 field goal edge over the Wolves, but scored only 12 of 17 from the line, while Oregon College shot 36 times, connecting on 31.

So since last fall we'vebeen looking for a brand new pair of roller skates. The result? A number of changes that are still on thedrawing boards. Plus five important innovations. 1. We banished the 1950s image with a shorter, nicername. Scobp . . . it's a combination of student and cooperative bookstore. Then we added the cartooncharacter to help us lighten up. 2. We created a place in our store for selling student-made candles. Andwe're gradually expanding it to include a quantity of other student-made goods and handicrafts. 3. Wefigured out how to turn the bookstore into a recycling center. We're still sorting out the details, but we'llhave it together early next month. 4. In September we replaced the old, unwieldy rebate system with afive per cent cash discount. In December we reduced the prices of drug items 17 per cent more . . . for atotal cutback of 22 per cent. At the same time, we doubled our inventory of contemporary records. Weput opinion boxes throughout our store. If you've got a suggestion or a complaint, now you can drop us anote. What's in it for us? The obvious advantage of making our store a little better place than it was.We've summed up the whole idea in three short words: people before profit. Think about it the next timeyou go Scooping. It's the key to our brand new pair of roller skates. 2^Â©Â©*? people before profits.Copyright lt;Â£ 1972. Let there be fight Emergency lights will soon be installed in Carver Gym andother buildings as part of a $30,000 safety improvement fund included in the 1971-73 budget. The lightswill be battery powered and constructed so they are constantly charging when the power is on and willcome on automatically if the power goes out. But this will not solve all the problems, H. S. Litzsinger,director of the physical plant, said. It will solve the handling of crowds in the auditoriums but not theother power problems facing campus during a blackout. A very important power need is for thecondensation pumps in the physical plant. These pumps recycle water after it has condensed from thesteam that is used to heat the buildings. Without the pumps, there is no heat and the pipes will freeze.Other important power needs are for security's radios, the refrigerators in the commissary, "exit" signsand important scientific experiments. These power needs require a generating plant and separate wiring, H. A. Goltz, campus planner, said. 5 legislature posts open Five positions on the AS Legislature forSpring quarter will be up for grabs in a Feb. 29 election. Applications for these positions are availablefrom the AS secretary in the Viking Union. A 2.0 g.p.a. is required. The filing period for these positionsends Feb. 18. Huxley offers European tour A six-week environmental study tour of nine Europeancountries next summer offers Western students a chance to w a t c h an international conference inaction and learn how policies are made. Details of the program will be discussed at a public forum in the VU lounge at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow by the Western team which will lead the 10-credit Huxley Collegecourse and an estimated five or six dozen students. The course will use the two-week U.N. Conferenceon the Human Environment at Stockholm June 5-16 as a laboratory study in international action,followed by field trips t h r o u g h East Germany, C z e c h o s l o v a k i a , Austria, Switzerland,Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Great Britain.

The reality of this new consciousness has been recognized anddocumented by John D. Rockefeller 3rd's Task Force on Youth, a group founded to provide research datato help individuals who are designing bridges between youth and the Establishment. After a few whirlwind years of demonstrations against the war, sit-ins against intransigent college administrations, protestsagainst on-campus military recruiting and the draft, and crusades in the name of minorities and the poor,we know that the American campus will never be the same. Certainly the nation will never be the same,andâ€”without a doubtâ€”we shall never be the same. The politicalization of the campus, though, hasbeen costly. A strong voter-supported backlash from state legislatures, coupled with faltering stateeconomics, has brought higher tuitions and fees, faculty cuts, repressive codes of conduct, and slashedoperational budgets at state-supported colleges and universities in most parts of the nation. With bothinternal and external pressures, the move is now on to restructure our higher educational system. It willbe its first major overhaul since the turn of the century. While it is necessary to change curriculums andtraditional teaching methods, we must remember that it is the human element which must change before the system itself can change. This campusâ€”not unlike manyâ€”is plagued with an administration which has isolated itself from the campus community, a faculty which will not take a small salary cut topreserve 18 teaching jobs, students who volunteer for important committees and fail to attend meetings,and a student government which has failed to provide responsible leadership. If changes are to be madeat this campus, we must learn that they will come only after we have changed personal attitudes.â€”John Stolpe y x \ Cooper Exits Office in Bitter Mood Says He's 'Tired and Burned Out' -See page 2 WESTERN WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE, VOLUME 63, NUMBER 59 â€¢ M l * ---------- Western Front - 1971 June 2 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Wednesday, June 2, 1971 Â®rf (Largest selection of hiking and mountaineering boots in Bellingham!) 215 E.

Â« 'the casino AT THE DPOLD INN 733-3500 1224 Cornwall Avenue Tm Pretty Cynical, Tired, And BurnedOut'-Cooper By SUE GAWRYS Front Reporter Ending his term as AS President, Steve Cooper hadbitter words about students, AS Legislature and the faculty. "The average student here could care lesswhat happens at this institution," he said. He compared Western's students to those of Eastern schoolsand found Western's not motivated to learning, possibly due to the isolation of the campus and themiddle-class background of students. "I was really an idealist when I began. I thought we could reallyturn-on the students, I thought students mobilized could ferret out needed changes," he said. "But thefailure of the Curriculum Commission Report, especially the students' reaction, disillusioned him. Galling it the major issue of the year, he said "When Western students had the chance to put themselves onthe map, they failed." The students' reactions to the Report reflected faculty brainwashing, he said, noting that students are not as liberal as they'd like to think. "We ought to give the faculty what they deserve-unthinking, unmotivated students. That's what the faculty, with the exceptions of Richard Vawter, DavidPevear and Ralph Thompson, likes," he said. The faculty resented academic reform being brought aboutby student government instead of themselves, he said. "Most of the faculty here are unwilling to strikeout at something exciting,,put guts into education," he said. This year's AS Legislature, one of the mostdo-nothing ones, was back in the flowery rhetoric of the 1950's, with some foreign policy thrown in,Cooper said. "We battled with AS Legislature all year about student wages. Then, at budget time, therewas no problem because it was time for appointments," he commented. AS L e g i s l a t u r econtinually missed opportunities to "shake some ivy off of Old Main," and let important issues be by-passed, such as statements about the budget, which Cooper termed "fantastic neglect." The type ofstudent government set up by the Daugert proposal will draw a more academically motivated student,instead of one concerned with worldly issues, he hopes. "I don't think student government should beinvoluntarily funded. If we can sell our product, then students would pay a fee at registration time if theyfelt student government was relevant," he said. About 150 people were involved with government thisyear. He said his administration made an effort to recruit people outside the "government family." "Forthe most part, I've enjoyed working with the administration more than with the AS Legislature," he said.He praised President Charles Flora and said that he deserved a better academic institution thanWestern. STEVE COOPER Cooper, after four years in student government, will graduate this summerand plans on attending law school. "I'm pretty cynical, pretty tired and burned out. Four years of studentgovernment are enough. There's no external satisfaction to being president: someone calls you a racist,too liberal, too conservative. It made me grow up a lot, needless to say," he said. Pausing, he reflected,"The experience I received here as AS President for one year far outweighs the academic experiences.When one can say that, when one can count on one hand all the faculty members that get acrossexcitement, interest and creativity, then it's a pretty damning indictment against this system." Computer Center Expands Western's Computer Center will offer more efficient service to computer users in the fall, despite the budget situation. The center, in Bond Hall, has been given a 1961 model computer system. The system, an IBM 7090, was used by the Department of Defense and was given to the State ofWashington under the government surplus program and the state is giving it to Western. Western willonly have to pay the cost of sniping the computer from Maryland. Ken Bell, assistant director of thecomputer center, estimated the shipping cost at about $3,000. The system is crated and ready to go and Bell said he expected it to be shipped shortly. At present the center has no room for the computer, butthe existing machine room was built to allow expansion and no drastic alterations will have to be made.The 7090, although older, is faster than the center's present' computer, an IBM 360/40. This increasedspeed will enable more people to use the facilities per day. The number of computer terminals on campus will be cut back due to the present budget situation, Bell said, but the new computer will allow moreefficient use of the remaining terminals. Students will have more flexibility in arranging terminal time. The addition of the 7090 will enable the center to save money in other areas. The center will be able toprovide more efficient service without a budget increase, Bell said. HAPPENINGS SUGAR AND SPICE-Women, don't let the rest of the world hype you.

CES will lose Dean Ronald Williams; E. Curmie Price, director of Afro-American studies, andVine Deloria Jr., a guest lecturer at the cluster college. Williams will be teaching at Federal CityCollege, Washington, D.C., next y e a r in the Department of Communications Sciences. Price will beteaching at Yale next year and Deloria will join a public interest law firm. While the college willundoubtably miss the three faculty members, CES will continue to improve on the two major goals which helped establish the school in 1969. The Board of Trustees okayed the cluster college on Oct. 9, 1969,on the basis of the school's two major goals: first, to provide an academic setting in which minoritycultures and histories are studies; and secondly, to create instructional procedures that enable the s t ud e n t to assume a greater responsibility for the direction of his studies and the ultimate shaping of hiseducational experience. The college seeks to create an intellectual discipline which centers upon thepolitical, religious, social and c u l t u r a l e x p e r i e n c e s - of Mexican-Americans, American Indians and Afro-Americans. CES is built around six major objectives: â€”To provide a learning situation whichencourages direct contact between students and faculty. â€” T o give students primary responsibility forthe emphasis and direction of their learning. -To build maximum opportunity for incidental learning intothe formal and. informal learning situation. â€”To make appraisal of the student's learning a continuingprocess, to reduce confusions and misunderstandings that accompany all learning and to providesupportive instruction in weak skill areas. â€”To give undergraduates the experiences of presentinglectures and writing papers which receive faculty and student criticism and publish exemplary lecturesand papers in the CES house-journal. Student participation in writing and publishing will teach the rigorsand responsibilities of scholarship. â€” To provide students with work-related experiences on Indianreservations, with state and federal agencies, and with business and industry. The CES instructionalprograms make up one-half of the student's course work; the other half of his studies are taken atWestern. Usually students will have enough credit hours to arrange another major or minor. CESencourages its students to acquire a concentration of study outside CES, which will provide them with abroader understanding of the American experience thereby gt; enhancing their appreciation of the roleplayed by minority groups in shaping it. CES structures the first year of study around a theme. Withstudent suggestions, the faculty selects a general theme for the Academic year. The theme for 1969-70was "The Shock of Recognition," this year's is "The Land Question." Each instructor meets each daywith two or three students for a two-hour tutorial. During the tutorial sessions, assigned andrecommended readings are discussed and short critical papers are assigned. All students registered forthe theme within a given program meet for a seminar once a week. The instructional program meets thegeneral requirements of Western in humanities and social sciences. In brief interviews, three CESprofessors were highly favorable to the way the programs are going. Wilfred Wasson, who teachesanthropology of Indians, said, "Education has been highly cultivated into one cultural system. CES givesan opportunity for people to learn something other than the dominant culture." As far as the future isconcerned, Wasson said, "If we can succeed in building an academic program in CES, it might be quitepossible that we will have other schools copying our programs." Price said he wanted to see morerecruiting to bring other Western students into CES. He added, "I think Ethnic Studies is here to staybecause it is a vital part of education. CES allows students to discuss things that they normally haven'tbeen able to before. Francisco Hinojos called Ethnic Studies a "very exciting program." Hinojos, whoteaches Mexican-American classes, said, "There is a strong instructor-student interaction. With tutorials and seminars, we have more time to discuss ideas of the instructor and the students." ReynaldoPascua, a sophomore from Wapato, has been in CES since it started. Pascua is interested in theAsian-American aspects of the college, since he is an American of Filipino descent. Pascua said helikes the opportunity for independent study. Right now he is writing a bibliography of sources of Filipinoinformation as part of his independent study. As far as future hopes of the college, Pascua said, "I hopecourses in CES become a requirement at Western." Pascua added that he would like to see EthnicStudies courses established in high-schools. Ken Howe, one of the first two CES graduates, said CES"is more than just ethnic studies, it's cultural studies. It's up to you to decide how you're related to it."Howe said Ethnic Studies "for Whites, it's mostly just exposure to the minorities; for minorities it's achance to develop their own identity." hall Quarter Recruiting CES is now recruiting students on campus for fall quarter. "We hope to have 160 students fall quarter," Dean Williams said. ^.''.$3!-.SESSION l i f i ii ---------- Western Front - 1971 June 2 - Page 4 ---------- Western Front Wednesday, June 2, 1971 Front Editorials.... " To comfort the afflicted and to afflict thecomforted11 Academic Reforms The Academic Council has made significant contributions towardmaking education at Western more bearable and sensible for the students this institution is supposed to serve. Dropping the physical education requirement, reducing the required number of credits forgraduation to 180, i n t r o d u c i n g the possibility for student-faculty majors and making the minorrequirement optional are among the worthiest changes passed by the Council. These outmodedregulations and requirements which had hung on through the years by some quirk of historical precedent were long overdue for a change. The Council is to be commended for recognizing the need for suchchange. The academic scene is still cluttered with unnecessary rules and procedures which harrass thestudents who are after an education. Though these steps by the Academic Council indicate a majorbreakthrough in academic reform, they are only part of a trend which requires further development. Oneof the persons hardest hit by the arbitrary standards and regulations Western imposes is the transfer.Western now gives the transfer student a list of specific courses to follow as an option for the generaleducation requirement. Many times students who transfer from a junior college or another four yearcollege lose many of their credits, especially in general education, because they haven't taken the exactcourses prescribed by Western. They must spend valuable time and money to make up these generaleducation requirements which could be spent much more usefully elsewhere. Optional requirements fortransfer students must become more flexible. Consideration should be given to making the Associate ofArts Degree from the junior colleges equivalent status with two years of work at a four year college. When the system adapts to the people instead of the other way around it will become a human system. It istime students took a serious look at the educational process and take action to reform those areas which hinder the pursuit of an education. The facts must be faced. Students will be paying more and more inthe next two years for less education and fewer services. The time is ripe for reform. Through this reformsome worthwhile and valuable steps can be taken toward changing the academic programs at Westerninto a rational and flexible system for students seeking an education. -Ron Graham Students in JapanWe received a letter yesterday from Paul Glenn, an associate professor at Fairhaven College who iscurrently in Japan -this quarter with nine Fairhaven students as part of the college's study abroadprogram. Glenn informs us that all of the students are living with Japanese families in the city ofTateyama, which is Bellingham's sister city located about 100 miles south of Tokyo. The students teach English in the local junior high schools in the morning and then study various aspects of Japaneseculture during the afternoons. Some are learning to play the koto and samisen while others bone up onthe fine art of tea ceremonies. There are also lessons in Japanese dance, ceramics, doll making,flowerarrangement, Japanese brush painting and language. The study abroad program includes two monthsteaching and studying with an additional month spent on travel and study elsewhere in Japan, althoughpart of the group has chosen to remain in Tateyama. The program is a tribute to the late Dean CharlesHarwood, who originally started it. After Harwood's death, Glenn continued with the arrangements. Thestudy abroad Fairhavenites are sponsored by the Rotary Clubs of Tateyama and Bellingham and by thesister city committees in both cities. Glenn, who was made an honorary citizen of Tateyama, notes thateach of the students paid his travel to Japan and pay their own living expenses while in Tateyama. Ourhats are off to such progressive educational programs. We would like to see many more students atWestern drop classes here for a quarter and study in another country. -John Stolpe the western FRONT"The Leading College Newspaper in Washington State" EDITOR: John Stolpe MANAGING EDITOR: RonGraham ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Bob Taylor COPY EDITOR: Jim Austin ASSISTANT COPY EDITOR:Larry Lemon SPORTS EDITOR: Kent Sherwood PHOTO EDITOR: Dave Sherman PHOTOGRAPHER!Jim Thomson NIGHT EDITOR Bob McLauchlarv STAFF REPORTERS GENERAL ASSIGNMENT: GlenJones, Jim Thomson, Pat Brennen, Mike Kerr, Rick Ries, Marilee Pethtel, Dianne Jacobs.ADMINISTRATION: Jim Austin, Mary Peebles, Scott Anderson.

Seems a Dr. Norman Cass in San Diego set up a test to find out if men were biggergamblers than women. He started with kids aged six through 10 and gave each a few pennies to play slot machines offering various degrees of risk. Some machines simply returned the penny, while others paidoff on 8-1 odds. Most of the boys went for the high pay offs, while the girls went for the no risk ones. Theconclusion the doctor draws from this is that girls are security-seekers and only like to bet on the surething. WESTERN'S CURRENT BUDGET problems bring to mind a similar incident at another collegeseveral years ago. It seems that $54.98 was sliced from its $20 million budget and the college presidentdecided to tighten the belt. Of course he left intact the administration and the student government so theycould talk with each other. And he left the research staff which was working on the mating habits of thehunched back squirrel.

A power struggle between ASAC and the Bookstore has been building since March over theappointment of a new Bookstore manager. Bookstore manager Ray Knabe is retiring in July and theBookstore Board has chosen Assistant Manager George Elliot to replace him. Several members ofASAC feel that they have the right to make the decision since they claim that the Bookstore is under theViking Union staff and therefore is under ASAC jurisdiction. Flora told the Front that ASAC does not have any relation to the Bookstore Board. "I see nothing in the 1966 ASAC document which says anythingabout hiring a manager," he said. ' Flora said that he may be wrong, but that is his interpretation of thedocument, which lists the powers of ASAC. "I have the power to overrule both the Bookstore board andthe AS Legislature," he added. When asked about the bill passed by ASAC last quarter which asks theAS Legislature to remind the Bookstore Board of its obligations to notify ASAC prior to any openings inthe Bookstore management so that ASAC may begin interviewing applicants for the position, Flora saidthat he did not know about it. Elliot who became assistant manager on Feb. 5, 1968, said that theBookstore Board brought him in with the purpose of making him manager after Knabe's retirement. Hesaid that he will probably 'take over in the middle of August, although it says August 31 in the Bookstoreminutes. He defined the role of the Bookstore as a service organization and feels that he can make it astudent organization. "I strongly believe that with my organizational Housing and Dining How Do You$600,000 in By PAT BRENNEN Front Reporter The Housing and Dining System is considering variousways to spend some of the $600,000-$800,000 it has in its reserve fund, including constructing afieldhouse on south campus, improving Lakewood, converting some residence halls into apartment unitsand providing a security force for the residence areas. Gerald Brock, director of housing, said that theamount in the reserve fund has varied from $600,000 to $1 million during the six years he has held hisoffice. "The money in the reserve fund is not just sitting around," he pointed out. "All of the money will be sent back into the Housing and Dining System in one way or another. We have many plans on how tospend it." He explained that the reserve fund consists of money that has been received in revenue overand above that which is needed to pay off bond debts. "To satisfy investors, we aim for a 1.25 increaseof revenue over bond payments per year, but the school wants us to try to achieve a 1.5 ratio." Toillustrate his point, Brock said that to build new facilities the Housing and Dining System must sell bonds to finance the construction. The system must pay back the money over a certain amount of time at acertain interest rate. The Housing and Dining System determines what the annual payments of all bonddebts will be and then tries to achieve annual revenue that is from 1.25 to 1.5 times better. The excessmoney then goes into the reserve fund. FIELDHOUSE Pete Coy, assistant director of housing, said thefieldhouse idea is a spin-off from the proposed student activity center idea for south campus that recentlywas canceled. The fieldhouse would contain gym space, locker rooms, an equipment checkout area and surrounding ahtletic areas. "It would be a place where one could go to play a little basketball or baseballwithout incurring the wrath of the coaches or getting in the way of one of the teams," Coy said. "All ofthis would be either financed by bonds or paid for with student money. We feel that the off-campushousing students should have the opportunity to use more facilities on campus. As it GEORGE ELLIOTsetup, I could involve more students," Elliot said. Elliot also said that in Friday's Bookstore Boardmeeting $50,000 was set aside for rebate. This year there was $15,000 for the rebate system. He pointed out that this money comes from profits. He said that he believes there will be a discount system ratherthan the rebate. "This means more money to the students," he said. This is because there is not somuch clerical and paperwork involved. Spend Reserves? Coy suggested the fieldhouse idea at lastweek's AS Legislature meeting. He said that he hopes that they will have a committee start getting some plans drawn up for the fieldhouse and Lakewood facilities and submit them to the Housing and DiningCommittee and other administrative offices. "The Housing and Dining Committee has indicated favorableinterest in the fieldhouse idea, but if students want this type of facility they should start putting someeffort in on it," Coy said. LAKEWOOD Coy has indicated that the Housing and Dining System isprepared to allot $150,000-$200,000 for the refurbishing of Lakewood, the school's recreational propertyon the west side of Lake Whatcom. The refurbishing would include a new combination boat andbathhouse, repairs of the existing dock, access roads and parking areas. RESIDENCE HALLS Therehas been some talk, according to Coy, of converting some of the dorms to one-bedroom apartment units. He said that the housing office has plans to convert Highland, Higginson, Beta and Gamma residencehalls to apartment units at a cost of about $2,000 per unit. Each unit would contain a bath, kitchen, living and bedroom area, and would be occupied by two students or a married couple. "With the trend studenthousing is taking, dorms are increasingly difficult to keep full," Coy said. "The apartment-like units suchas Birnam Wood are the popular living area now. Of course, nothing is really definite yet, but hopefullythis may come about in a couple of years." SECURITY The roles of the resident aides in the dorms willchange from that of rule enforcer to that of counselor next fall, Coy said. With the change the housingoffice is considering the possibility of hiring some uniformed security people, possibly students, to patrol dorm halls and to protect students and their property. The security people would be paid by the housing office and would be supervised by the security office. "Their main job' would be to prevent thefts," Coystated.

The autocross is a race against time. It is like a ski-slalom event but with a car ratherthan skis. The driver must take his car as fast as he is able to handle it, through a series of cones andtires set up on a course. This reporter was given a ride in a 1966 Porsche 911 driven by Alex MacDonald in last Friday's autocross event sponsored by Western's Motor Sports Club. MacDonald took first placewhen he weaved through the gates in 35 seconds flat; Stephen Eastlick took second with 36.1 secondsin a 1961 Sprite and Jeffy Erickson placed third with 37.9 seconds in a 1971 Datsun 250Z. The feelingone gets in going through the autocross course is sensational. With speeds of 50 to 60 miles-an-hour on some straightaway sections and some fine handling in and out of the gates, one feels like his head isone step behind the rest of him. You just get used to going one way around a cone when the driverswings the steering wheel the other way. Horsepower does not make much difference in the autocross.In fact, many a Volkswagen have done just as well as your larger high-powered cars. Steering,suspension, brakes and the driver's handling ability are the most important factors. In autocross, fiveseconds are added to a driver's time if he hits a cone or tire. Ten seconds are added for missing a gate.John Hopkins, president of Western's Motor Sports Club, said that the autocross is "very good for peoplein testing themselves and their cars even if they have not raced before." There will be another autocrossfrom 6 to 10 p.m. Friday in lot 17B behind the steam plant. He pointed out that there are several racingclasses including large, medium and small sedans and large, medium and small sports cars. Theseclasses are based on the size of the car and the engine displacement. The club, which was just startedthis year by several Tacoma Community College transfer students, also has sponsored five gymkhanasand two rallies. A gymkhana is similar to an autocross but is much trickier. The driver must backaround cones, and park. Sometimes he is blind-folded and must follow the directions given by anavigator. In a rally a good watch and odometer play an important part. The driveT and nagivator are given a set of instructions on how fast to drive and where to go. The driver must follow these instructionsexplicitly as points will be taken off if the driver is late or early in arriving at the designation. The winner is the driver who follows the instructions the closest. The course of a rally may be as much as 15 to 20miles. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

STUDENTS' STORE Prof essor AttacksEvaluatlonCriteria By LARRY LEMON " Copy Editor Richard Vawter will be terminated as an assistantprofessor of physics in June, 1972, unless he corrects certain "weaknesses" noted in his 1971 annualevaluation. Vawter objects not only to the "weaknesses" attributed to him, but also to what he calls the"research or publish-or-perish" criteria for evaluation. .,,.., * In an interview in his office last Tuesday,Vawter said that the two main weaknesses noted in his termination letter were "slow research and poorupper-division teaching." "The poor teaching charge is not true at all," he said. "The real issue isresearch. They're trying to use my termination letter as a club to make me do something I shouldn't.Research should be done in the larger schools and universities." Vawter is completing his third year atWestern. He received his Ph D in physics from the State University of New York at Stony Brook in 1968and teaching Physics 101 has been his primary assignment at Western. Vawter contends that thepresent evaluation system is based on research and the resulting publications. "My feelings are thatWestern is not a University of Washington, and that the major obligation of this college is to teachstudents," he said. "Taxpayers pay for teaching, not research. "No one has a good method of judging ateacher. The only semi-method, and the one now in use, is to count the number of publications," he said. "To publish, you have to pick out a problem for research that no one cares about," he added. "It's awaste of a lot of energy on an esoteric subject." Vawter said the poor upper-division teaching charge ismeaningless. "I haven't had the opportunity to teach many upper-division courses, and it's not as though1 haven't asked. It's been a year since I've taught above the 200 level," he said. Vawter said that in orderto do research, instructors must cheat their students. "In light of the large student-faculty ratio, it'simpossible to do real research," he said. "Promotion is based on the number of publications a teacherhas to his record," he said. "And physics is probably worse than any other field. To be published, youhave to do research on a remote and hard problem. This takes time, and departments and faculty have tosteal time from their teaching-the easiest way is to make bigger classes. "You can see the end result atthe University of Washington, where there are 500 students in a class and only one multiple-choiceexam," he said. "A student can pass and still not know what the hell's going on. One mid-term and afinal don't give a proper evaluation." Vawter said the current faculty reductions (from 17 to 15 in physicsthis fall) will only harm the faculty-student ratio and make the research problem more acute. "Mytermination letter indicates that if I play ball I will be retained," he said. "I'm not going to be given anyupper-division courses so the only reason for rehiring me would be if I do research. "The major emphasis,whether the administration says so or not, is on the number of publications an instructor has. Survivaldepends on academic esoteric research. It's unfortunate but true," he said. "The system is changing, buteveryone has to do his part," he said. ---------- Western Front - 1971 June 2 - Page 9 ---------- Wednesday, June 2, 1971 Western Front 9 Watchdogs Serve Key Role in Lock Systems Campuswatchdogs might be one way to describe Western's locksmiths Robert and Marion Harmon. From theirtiny lockshop tucked away in the corner of the physical plant, they engineer and maintain all the locksystems in campus. Cutting of the lockshop budget was included in Flora's proposed budget cuts, butStewart Litzsinger, director of the physical plant, said that if monies must be saved in the physical plant,they will be saved in other ways. The lockshop plays too vital a role in safe-guarding the college,students and their property. According to Smith, Western seems to be unique, as it is the only school on the West Coast that does all its key engineering, planning and designing, as well as maintaining thelocking and keying system of a building. Normally done by the manufacturer, the planning might take 6 to 8 months to be done. The campus locksmiths are able to re-key a building in a matter of hours.Locksmiths are becoming a rare breed. Presently there are only about 11,000 locksmiths in the UnitedStates. Locksmithing is not just a trade you pick up, Smith and Harmon said. "It's something you growup with," Smith said. The apprentice might be training for years before his teacher intrusts him with thesecrets of the trade. A locksmith, because of his high-security job and easy access to everything isfinger-printed, bonded and thoroughly investigated by the FBI. In addition to the planning andmaintenance of the lock systems on campus, the locksmiths also keep a careful watch for anyhazardous locks. Strict safety rules on what kinds of locks that can be used in different places are setdown in a building code. The locks in High Street Hall, for example, were found to be illegal, and had tobe completely redone. Faculty Council Sets Priority for Salary Hike Increases in faculty salaries nextyear, if there is enough money to grant them at all, will be given in a priority order approved by theFaculty Council. Mel Davidson, chairman of the Council, said that in the past, increases in facultysalaries have been given out of a "salary pool" created by the Legislature. But for next year, he says,"we re not sure whether there is a pool." When the Legislature passed the new budget, they usedwording which no one has been able to interpret yet. But, even if some funds are available, there will notbe as much money as there has been in the past. Recognizing this, the Faculty Council has setpriorities to be used in determining what types of increases will be made. In setting these priorities, theCouncil scrapped a plan which would have spread any extra money evenly to all faculty members.Increases will be granted in this order: First, merit increases. These are increases by one step in thesalary schedule, granted to faculty members who have special merit. The decision to grant a meritincrease is made by the department and reviewed by the Dean of Western. Second, step increases.These are automatic increases of step in the salary schedule, one each year. Third, cost of livingadjustments. The council has also approved the continued funding of sabbaticals, for which facultymembers receive 3/4 pay. Residence Hall Rules Change with the Times Resident hall living hasliberalized tremendously in the six years that Jerry Brock, director of housing, has been at Western. Sixyears ago students were not allowed to lock their room doors and still had room checks for cleanlinessand illegal products. Students also had to sign in and out of their dorms and had to be in at 11 p.m.weekdays and 1 a.m. on weekends. There were no co-educational dormitories. To eat at Saga you hadto wear the proper school clothing-cut-offs were not allowed and to eat dinner on Sundays, male students had to wear ties. In residence halls now, students have 18-hour visitation on weekdays and 20-hourvisitation on weekends. Students can go in and out of the halls any time they choose without beingchecked on. Room checks are not made, except when furniture from the lounges are missing. Brocksaid that the only dress regulations in the Saga eating facilities are something on the feet and body. .â€ž "They restrict bare feet and bathing suits, Brock said. Two years ago both Higginson and Kappabecame co-ed by floors. This brought a whole new era to residence halls. Next year Omega will becomeco-ed by wings and Beta/Gamma will bde come co-ed by suite the students asked for it, while Beta(men)/Gamma (women) was selected to make it more comparable to off-campus living, Brock said."Beta/Gamma could end up predominately men or women," he said. . Co-ed dorms give housing moreflexibility in placing students, Brock said . "It also appears to be more desirable and comes closer to amore real-life setting," he pointed out. "We do not separate one from the other." Brock sees even moredrastic changes in he future. Passage of the 18-year-old vote would make it lawful for drinking in privaterooms and social visitation would be forgotten, he said. The Board of Trustees is voting in July ondrinking in dorms for those of legal age. The role of the resident aide will be less, he said. Next year, theaid will become more of a counselor and not wholly a law enforcer, although he will retain some power. In the future he will strictly be a counselor, Brock said. "Either our own security force will become thearresting force or the police will be brought on campus," he said. In any event, Brock sees the dorms asbeing more heavy on security "because people do not seem to be able to control their own theBODYSHOP 1112 Cornwall Avenue 7330201 Live Music with BLUEBIRD.

By PAUL MADISON Sports Reporter Another sports year is almost at a close. Only national spring sport championships remain. Fortunately, it seems that the biggest athleticvictory of the year was averting a complete shut-down after next season. . Two Viking teams narrowlymissed Evergreen Conference (Evco) championships, while the basketball squad tied for their title. Thebaseball and football teams both went down to the final weekend of action before being eliminated.Outstanding performances were turned in by numerous individuals, including Glenn Hadland, Vic Randalland Tom Wigg, football; Neal Larson and Gary White, basketball; Lee Andersen, wrestling; Don Balkeand Ron Porterfield, baseball; Mike Vorce and Jim Magee, track and Stever Doerrer, tennis. Andersenearned NAIA All-America recognition for his fourth place finish in the 158-pound class at the wrestlingnationals in Boone, N.C. n , â€ž , Honorable mention All-America acclaim went to Randall and White.Randall set two school records, intercepting nine passes during the 1970 season at his safety position,for a career total of 26. Guard Neal Larson has an outstanding season in his final year of basketball. "Mr.Hustle," the Vik captain, set season marks in assists (133) and steals (101). Balke and Porterfield hadexcellent seasons this spring on the baseball diamond. Porterfield made the NAIA All-West Coast firstnine as he hit .328 and had a fielding average of .994, making only one error at his first base station allyear. Doerrer paced a fine tennis team to a second place in the Evco tournament. The Vik's No. 1 netterwill join Arnie Larson in representing NAIA District I in the national tournament in Kansas City, Mo. TheWestern soccer squad won the Western Washington Conference Soccer championship for the third yearin a row. The finest contest of the year had to be Western's 14-inning 1-0 baseball victory over EasternOregon. Though no record is available, the game was most likely the longest scoreless battle in Vikinghistory The Vik basketball team's narrow 67-65 loss to Central at Ellensburg would rate a close second.Nearly 500 staunch Viking fans braved an icy Snoqualmie Pass for that one. The Viking crew continuedits rapid improvement. Its biggest triumph was winning the Pacific Lutheran Invitational. Other teamtrophies won were the cager's Turlock Invitational tor the second straight year, and the tracksters firstplace trophy won at the Pacific Lutheran Invitational Relays. Finest coaching innovation was track mentor Dick Bowman s "Superblocks," which were appropriately hailed until they were ruled illegal after twoweeks their opening appearance. Track records set this year were turned in by Vorce, intermediatehurdles (53.4), Magee, 220-yd. dash, (21.7), Bill Long pole vault (14-0), Jim Wilcox, shot put (50-3), andthe 440-yd. relay team of Vorce,' Magee, Dan Wakefield and Mike Page (42.5). All teams had asuccessful rebuilding year, though, and 1971-72 looks to be possibly the finest ever in Western history.Hopefully, it won't be the last. Above, Mike Franza goes up for an easy two during the cagers 82-57romp over Eastern Oregon. After a 20-6 year, Franza, Lee Roy Shults (33) and several other returneesgive the Western hoop future a bright outlook. ---------- Western Front - 1971 June 2 - Page 12 ---------- 12 Western Front Wednesday, June 2, 1971 Net Duo Wins Trip to NAIA Western's varsity tennis squadwon one title and took second place in the team standings in the NAIA District I match, held Friday andSaturday in Spokane. Steve Doerrer and Arnie Larson won the doubles championship, qualifying them for the national tournament in Kansas City, Mo., beginning on Monday. Whitworth won the district teamcrown with 15 points, followed by Western 11, Central 3, Pacific Lutheran 1 and Eastern Washington noscore. Doerrer and Larson defeated Butch Thomason and Bruce Gorgan of Whitworth in three sets fortheir win. The Vik pair took third in last week's Evergreen Conference (Evco) championships, whereWestern placed second to Southern Oregon. In singles action, Larry Corbin advanced to the semi-finalsbefore being stopped by Thomason. Corbin was Western's top placer in singles. Coach Don Wisemanwas pleased with his Vik team. "We did a real fine job," Wiseman said. "We are just as good asWhitworth and showed it last week." Whitworth took third in the Evco match. "I'm very proud of theseguys," Wiseman said. "They just did an outstanding job all season. This is one of the best teams I'vecoached." Whether or not Doerrer and Larson go to Kansas City is contingent on a decision by theAthletic Department.Wiseman indicated he feels that permission will be granted to send the Viking duo to the nationals. "Steve and Arnie could do very well," the Vik mentor said of their chances. "It's one bigtournament and they are very capable and could do a fine job. You just never know in these kind oftournaments." Wiseman will lose three netters by graduation, Doerrer, Corbin and Steve Adelstein.However, Wiseman said he has some fine young men coming up and next year's team could be a greatone. "We have a good chance at next year's title," Wiseman commented. All-Sports Banquet TonightJim Smith, University of Washington (UW) wrestling coach, will be WESTERN FRONT ^^ SPORTS ViksSecond in District One Track Windstorm the featured speaker at the "W" Club's All-Sports banquettonight at 8 p.m. at the Viking Commons Dining Hall. For Smith it will be a homecoming of sorts. Hecoached at Western during the 1965-66 season, moving to the UW the following year after his Vikingsdemolished the Huskies 41-0 in a dual meet. Since going to Seattle, Smith has raised the Husky matprogram to-national prominence. His finest dual meet record came during the 1969-70 campaign ByKENT SHERWOOD Sports Editor Despite cold weather and a violent windstorm, Western's tracksterstook second in the NAIA District I meet, Saturday in Ellensburg. Central won the team title with 81points, followed by Western 40, Eastern Washington and Simon Fraser University 23, Whitworth 10 andPacific Lutheran 7. The Viks won five events in the meet, which was disrupted by winds that caused most of performances to fall far below those turned in at the Evergreen Conference (Evco) meet, held a weekearlier. Bill Long won the pole vault at 14-0, just barely missing the bar at 14-6. Long went through theseason undefeated in Evco competition. Steve Lippit won the six-mile run, an event he placed second inat the Evco meet. The Viks mile relay team of Mike Force, Dick Foley, Jeff May and Mike Page won their event, beating Central for the second week in a row after losing to the Wildcats in the Western-Centraldual meet two weeks ago. Ken Johnson won the high hurdles and Kelly Stecker took the mile for theVikings other blue ribbons. Jim Magee, winner of the Evco 220-yd. dash, took second in that eventbehind Whitworth's Greg Hayashi. Magee also took third in the 100-yd. dash in a race won by Central'sSteve Slavens. Other placings for the Viks were: May and Foley third and fourth, respectively, in the 440; the 440-yd. relay team of Vorce, Magee, Dan Wakefield, and Page took second; Paul Scovel, third inthe steeplechase; Jim Wilcox, fourth in the shot put and Mark Salzman, fourth in the triple jump.Tomorrow three Viks will compete in the NAIA national meet in Billings, Mont. Vorce and Magee will runin the intermediate hurdles and 220, respectively, by virtue of winning the Evco crown in those events.Page will run in the open 440 and Magee in the 100 as their Evco times qualified them for the nationalthree day meet.

His name is Frank Sadler, and he is 65 years old. Frank first retired at the age of23, hanging up the gloves that helped him to punch his way through 86 professional fights. Then turningto golf, he became the assistant club pro at Bellingham's golf club and finally took over the. title of proand owner of the pro shop in 1936. He retired asecond time last April after 43 years of pro golf, includingparticipation in several tournaments. Now he is beginning again, as a freshman student enrolled inHumanities. Explaining why he came to college after all these years, Frank smiled and said, "It's a newventure." He enjoys both his current retirement from work and his new beginning in school but is wary toadmit that school is fun. "They might kick me out," he chuckles. In his spare time he golfs almost every day, having only missed four days since April. He recently sank his third hole-in-one while playing withthree Western faculty members. Frank was a well known Northwest boxer during his high school days,making good money at it. He called himself Frankie Repoz then and beat several nationally knownopponents. His interest in golf developed when he was even younger, when he caddied for the thengolfing greats, Long Jim Barnes and Jack Hutchinson. He's played thousands of holes of golf since thenand he became the first to go seven under par at Bellingham Golf and Country Club. For his retirementthe members of the golf club sent him on a two-week vacation to some golf links in Florida, FrankSadler, Western's oldest freshman, contemplates a lecture in one of his Humanities classes. but he onlystayed six days. "Got homesick I guess," he explains. FrankJiasn't picked a major yet and he may bearound a while if it takes him as long to get through college as it did high school. But college academics aren't wholly new to Sadlerâ€”his sons, Jack and Paul, both have masters degrees. \ Senate electionsslated Tuesday X w ESTERN WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE VOLUME 64 NUMBER 8 See page 3 / ---------- Western Front - 1971 October 29 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western Front Friday, October 29, 1971 GakaAet I);mcinL!

Thesymposium, sponsored by the Fairhaven College Coalition of Concerned Voters is designed to focusattention on the candidates and crucial issues on the election. Mayorial candidates, candidates for theCity Council, freeholders ? school board candidates and candidates for the Port Commission will takepart in panel discussions and representatives will speak on propositions, bonds and levies to be on theballot. The panel discussions will center on "Land Use in Bellingham," the nature of planned portdevelopments and how the public will be served by them and on drug abuse and drug education programsin the schools and their effect on the community. Panelists will answer questions from the floor and thenthe audience will break down into groups to discuss specific issues with the candidates andrepresentatives. The public is invited and coffee and donuts will be served. A similar symposium held forSeattle candidates this week at the University of Washington drew only a dozen students. Nader aideheartens WashPIRG efforts Brent English, an aide to consumer advocate Ralph Nader, urged studentsto get involved with the Washington Public Interest Research Group (WashPIRG) at Western. English,who has been setting up public interest groups around the United States,, told over 100 students in theVU lounge last Thursday that WashPIRG will focus on particular consumer problems and will attempt tofind ways of solving them. WashPIRG will be completely student controlled, employing the services ofprofessionals, including doctors and lawyers, who will attack consumer problems. It will work within thelegal system. WashPIRG has no economic or political ties with Ralph Nader, English explained.WashPIRG is trying to get students to put more into the legal system than ever before, he said. "Whatwe are suggesting to college students is the most powerful arm this country has seen," he added.WashPIRG will be dealing directly with environmental problems, health and safety, consumer protection,and corporate responsibilities. A petition drive will be held Nov. 8-12 on campus in an attempt to get asmany students as possible to pledge one dollar to the organization. English believes that Washingtonalone can raise $600,000 trom this state wide petition drive. This money will be used solely for hiringprofessionals. Support from professionals has been fantastic, he said. He pointed out that in a study ofstudent movements on college campuses, the initial probelm had been student "frustration;' "despair" and the fact that "many students don't give a damn. They are more willing to play frisbee," he said. Englishstrongly believes that students will get involved in public interest groups, though. He pointed out thatpublic interest groups are being organized in 25 states, in Oregon 65 per cent of 110,000 students signedthe petition and at the University of Minnesota over 60 per cent of 44,000 students signed the petition infour days. ^^msB3BSSBSSSBSSSSSSS 522S2Â£2E22J222iEES52EE22^^Â« ---------- Western Front - 1971 October 29 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, October 29, 1971 Western Front 3 Senate attracts 60 for 13 seats By BOB BURNETT Unlessthere, are write-in candidates, 60 students will vie Tuesday for the 13 student seats on the all-collegesenate.

Photo by JIM THOMSON Druginformation center offers advice, help By JIM BROOKS Can you get strung out on speed? Is marijuanaless harmful than alcohol? Does LSD cause birth defects? These are just samples of the questions that Gary Ramey is asked daily as student director of Western's Drug Information Center. But as Ramey, apsychology major from Seattle, points out nobody is certain of the answers to many of these questions."The questions that I get range from what many would consider dumb to the very difficult but to thatperson they are important. I may not always have the answer but I can try to help them find it," Rameysaid. The Drug Information Center, set up this quarter, offers a variety of pamphlets on subjects rangingfrom marijuana to heroin. Ramey said that taking drugs "is a decision that only the individual can make, I hope to give the person enough information so he can make up his own mind." He said that at themoment about four to five students wander into the office a day to seek information or just to talk aboutthe drug situation around Bellingham. Ramey is currently trying to set up a rumor-control type of service confirming or warning of dangerous or deadly dope in Bellingham. Recently, a reliable source reportedthat a shipment of grass cut with Belladonna had reached the area. Consequently, Ramey was able tosend out a warning advising anyone experiencing Belladonna poisoning to see a doctor. A studyconducted at Western in the fall of 1970 revealed that at least 60 per cent of the residents have used ortried drugs. From what he has seen or heard, Ramey believes that most drugs are less plentiful thisyear than last. However, it has been reported that there is more cocaine this year than psychedelics."The center is open for anyone who wants information on drugs to come in and tell me what's happeningaround town. Everything is confidential," Ramey said. By BOB McLAUCHLAN Inadequate facultysalaries and how to cope with the external demands on the college were two areas President CharlesFlora expressed concern over in the first faculty meeting of the year, Wednesday. Flora told facultymembers that faculty salaries have been inadequately budgeted by the state legislature. "We indeedhave a salary problem that this state must confront," he said. "Our sister state colleges are in the sameboat." The primary concern with the salary problem is to lobby before the state legislature convening inJanuary, he said. To prepare for this, a brochure is being put together on the inadequacy of four-yearcollege faculty salaries as compared with community colleges and public school salaries. This brochurewill consist of a complete study of nation-wide and local comparisons of salary and salary increases ofmany educational institutes. Part of this brochure will consist of an annual report by the AmericanAssociation of University Professors called "On the Brink." This study breaks down and compares salaryincreases of all colleges and universities. An inter-institutional committee of faculty members has beenset up by the four-year colleges and universities of Washington to study the salary situation. Theparticipating colleges are: Eastern, Central, Western, University of Washington, Washington StateUniversity. Thus far Evergreen has not participated. Flora said that this ad hoc committee is trying toarrive at some agreement on a certain faculty increase for all the state colleges. "The same per centincrease should pertain to all four year state colleges," he said. "If all goes well, each college will submitits report to Gov. Daniel J. Evans," he added. If approved then Gov. Evans will take it up before the statelegislature. Bob Teshera, Western's representative to the inter-institutional committee, believes that thelegislature "simply does not know what is going on," with the inadequacy of faculty salaries. "Once theyknow, 1 think they will take strong action," he said. A second area of concern is coping with the externaldemands on the college, Flora said. The State Council on Higher Education has launched a study onhigher education which covers areas such as admissions, transfer ability of credits, tuition and fees,academic and tenure . . . . "The conclusions of these studies can be very influential," Flora said. "Each of these studies may require hundreds of man and woman hours." Gary Ramey's duties as student director of the Drug Information Clinic include discussing problems which often have no answer.

To comfort the afflicted and to afflict thecomforted' This is a test The Nov. 2 voting date is nearly here again, but this year it has increasedimportance for college students. Campus elections for the all-college senate and city elections forcandidates and initiatives are both scheduled next Tuesday. This will be the first election formembership in the all-college1 senate, a body which will govern the entire college community. It isespecially important in this formative period of the senate to take 'Uncle Sucker' Rhetoric is ringing'round the world over the expulsion of Nationalist China from the United Nations this week. And, asalways in diplomatic circles, everyone is blaming everyone else. Of all the phrases babbled by people inhigh places, the one by Ohio Senator William Saxbe may well be a key to locking away past mistakesand opening an era of diplomatic wisdom for the United States. "We've got to do something . . . to showthe world Uncle Sucker is dead," Saxbe said on the Senate floor. However, it may be necessary to admit it was our own fault that we were suckers in the past. For example, the American people have beensuckered into thinking Chiang Kai-shek is the real leader of the Chinese people, when in fact Chianggained power the same way he lost it, by leading the forces of the Nationalist Army to victory in 1926.(Incidentally, before Chiang took control of the Nationalist Party, he was a member of China'srevolutionary organization and spent a year in Russia.) When the Communist Chinese drove Chiang outof China in 1949, Chiang and about two million followers fled to Formosa where he took control of thecountry and 10 million Formosans, proclaiming himself political and military leader. The American people were suckered into believing that barring an "avowed troublemaker" such as Red China from the U.N.would contribute to world peace, when in actuality depriving a quarter of the world's population from anyform of representation in a "world council" has left the Chinese people and their government with oneless alternative to violence. In a classic statement about the ouster of Nationalist China, presidentialaspirant Henry M. Jackson said: "You can't deny an interest in voting for student representatives. Thiswill be the first general election in this city where the enfranchisement of 18-year-olds through 21-year-olds takes effect. Those students who are registered in Bellingham will have an opportunity todemonstrate their interest in local issues by marking their ballots Tuesday. Our political system both oncampus and in the city can be responsible to its constituents if you will vote. â€” Ron Graham theexistence of 14 million people." But we denied the existence of more than 700 million for 22 years. TheAmerican people have been suckered into thinking that gifts of foreign aid assures this nation thatcountries receiving our assistance will always jump on the U.S. bandwagon. " I t is clear evidence that aforeign policy so heavily based on gifts to our 'allies' cannot be expected to keep them on our side whenthe chips are down," Saxbe said. How long will it take our leaders to realize that bribery does nothing tobuild international prestige which is so important to foreign relations? The American people have beensuckered into believing that by paying one-third of the United Nations' operating expense the UnitedStates is always right and only those opposed to "mother, God and apple pie" would dare disagree withus. But some nations don't think much of God and apple pie and some think even less of the UnitedStates, especially after the strong-arm tactics employed by our diplomats on occasion. Contrary topopular belief, no nation or organization is always right. The time has come for the United States andother nations of the United Nations to realize some changes are necessary in the organization. Forinstance, membership should be extended to all nations and not conditionally determined by existingmembers. Nationalist China's expulsion was a deplorable thing indeed to the interest of world peace, but it may be a small, temporary price to pay for focusing attention on the antiquated, unrealistic policies ofthe United Nations. â€” Russ Cravens WESTERN FRONT STAFF EDITOR: Ron Graham MANAGINGEDITOR: Pat Brennen ASSOCIATE EDITOR: Bob Taylor COPY EDITOR: Carolyn Hill SPORTSEDITOR: Kent Sherwood PHOTO EDITOR: Jim Thomson PHOTOGRAPHER: Dwight LarsonEXCHANGE EDITOR: Bob McLauchlan GRAPHICS: Molly Benton BUSINESS MANAGER: Bob BurnettAD MANAGER: Ed Hodder STAFF ADVISOR: R.

'..' . . . . , ., on the home front with steve Johnston The Bookstore co-opulation class - or - how to getscrewed The trouble with those high school preparatory classes is that they don't really prepare studentsfor- the things which count in college; things a student needs to survive day to day campus living. Onecourse that should be required in every high school is Book Buying 100, so a student can get ready forthe'buyer beware'*policies running amuck in college bookstore co-ops. The first thing any student shouldlearn in this class would be about the title of college co-ops. It is rather misleading. The words co-opmean "cooperative" and this implies some kind of cooperation between the bookstore and the studentpopulous. It gives a picture of student and bookstore, hand in hand, fighting the forces of inflation.Actually the only cooperation between these two comes when the student hauls out his wallet and thecashier takes his money, saying, "Thank you," and the student saying, "Ugghhhh." Next a novice wouldlearn there is no such thing as a used book. All used books are shipped to Alaska where they aredumped down a huge hole and never seen again. Several years ago there were used books and thesewere sold five or six times at top price and then bought back for 30 per cent because they were used. Buta few malcontents complained about this practice and the bookstores lost a means of turning a fastbuck. Then a student could learn all about college professors who write their own text books and palmthem off onto their students. These books are usually 8 by 10-inch loose leaf notebooks with the firstpage devoted to an introduction by the teacher as he tries to justify printing the book in the first place.Then each page had one question, such as "What is your name and why is it that?" Three-fourths of thebook is entitled "NOTES." The book sells for $5 and comes with a personally autographed picture of theteacher and his family, all dressed in rags. This session could be quickly followed by a practice runthrough of a mock-up bookstore, complete with two mile long lines and over-worked employees. Beforethe class each student would be given a class schedule, $50 and then set free. The idea is to get all thebooks for under this amount. No student would ever be able to pass this test and it serves a purpose byteaching frustrations involved with buying books on a limited budget. And for teaching initiative thereshould be included at least one class where all the books are sold. It would teach students how to get by without the text. At least one week should be devoted to nothing but bookstore hassles. A student wouid be given $50 worth of books and told to sell them back. Now the unwary student would read the store'sbuy back policy, see they pay 60 per cent for used books and incorrectly figure he has $30 coming tohim. This student should be made to take the class over again. He missed something along the line. Thestudent who figures to come away with all his books and no money should go to the head of the class. As the class will be fashioned after real life, none of the books the students were given will be used nextquarter. A bonus test could be given when a student sells his $50 worth of books and gets only $10. Theidea is to figure out what went wrong and then present a paper to class, which can be used later inSupreme Court,~on his findings. Finally a back-up class could be offered. This would be Line Standing100. For eight hours a day for a week, a student would be standing in one place, staring at the collar of adummy and now and then shuffling his feet back and forth. This would get the student used to standing in a typical bookstore line at the beginning of each quarter. Bachelor degree fees A list of Decemberbachelor degree and provisional teaching certificate candidates with applications on file in the Registrar'sOffice is now posted on the bulletin board in Old Main 119. Information on fees due for each candidate isnow available from the cashier and information concerning degree or certificate requirements or amount of fees due is available at Old Main 113.

According to the fee schedule, each bachelor degree fee will be $8 and candidates receiving twodegrees (bachelor in arts and bachelor in arts in education) will be required to pay a $16 fee. There willalso be a S3 certificate and placement fee for degree holders on special programs for certification.

Leonardsaid that most campaigns have required extending in the past and foresees no problem in meeting the$271,180 goal since the 70-per cent mark has already been met. Campus Chairman Ken Brooks plans adoor-to-door session in the dormitories along with a dance on campus to attempt to out-do the S42 thatstudents pitched in the pot last year.

Friends of students and strangers alike have been living at Fairhaven, sleeping indorm rooms, roaming the campus and sometimes stealing food from SAGA. Recent unauthorizedvisitors brought the issue to a head. One student was threatened with a knife and two girls roughed upbefore border police from Canada took one outsider off the campus and complaints of another visitorbrought campus security to Fairhaven to escort the alien away. Dean Freeman said that no officialpolicy has been or will be created to deal with outside troublemakers, and at an all-college meetingFairhaven students argued about the problem. Opinions were divided on whether to let the non-studentsstay or to expel them. Solutions for the latter ranged from physically throwing out to cutting off their foodsupply. This last brought about the usual denunciations of SAGA and the meeting became confused with no community decision made. On the whole sentiment seems to have turned against unofficialresidents of Fairhaven_. College. ** ** Concerned about the environment that your garbage may beruining?

At Tuesday's meeting, Chuck Broches, speaker of thelegislature, introduced a bill that would divide the membership of the legislature into three standingcommittees. The committees are the Student Welfare and Academic Affairs, the ResponsibleLeadership, and Fiscal Management. Each member of the legislature is to serve on a committee of theCouncil on Student Services (COSS). This changes part of the by-laws, of the legislature and reducesthe number of committees to three. Chuck Broches said that "COSS is where the decisions are made;where the action is. We have to implement this policy." The bill was passed by the legislature. To makeit easier for one to understand why the legislature is changing, people must understand the changes thathave happened around the legislature. When the Associated Students Activities Council (ASAC) wasapproved, it deleted some of the legislature's power to make decisions on large amounts of money foractivities, publications and other organizations of this nature. After ASAC was set up, COSS was thenset up and approved. This deleted more power from the legislature. "In all these changes," said Broches, "the legislature hasn't changed. The All College Senate now is almost forcing the legislature to change.It is important for the legislature to change if it is going to have a student group to function. We have tomodernize the legislature." The following presidential appointments were approved by the legislature:Anne Fleming- Fund Drive Committee Larry Lee- Non Academic Coordinator Steve Willard- CounselingServices Phyllis Gould Jim Hoyt- Publications Council Rich Hass The appointment of Byron Steenerson for the Athletic Committee was rejected. The reason given was that the legislature wished to see aperson appointed who was involved both in varsity and intramural athletics. Every quarter, the AthleticCommittee receives $3.05 from every student for varsity athletics. The legislature feels that the studentshould have a voice where the money goes. Mark McSherry was appointed by legislature to the HealthServices Committee. Speaker Chuck Broches reminds all interested freshmen that today is the last dayyou can apply for the freshman seat in the Nov. 2 election. If you are interested, you are asked to contact Jeannette Walden in the AS office in the Viking Union for information. Course level distributiondiscussed by council CRISIS CLINIC 734-7271 A discussion of course level distribution and the fairness of the grade point average (g.p.a.) system was held at the Academic Council meeting on Tuesday. Asmall ad-hoc committee is to be set up for determining course levels. There are conflicting problemsbecause of budgetary cutbacks. Many freshmen and sophomores have difficulty in finding courses totake at their suggested levels (100 and 200). There is also the problem of graduation requirements thatdemand a large number of credits in upper division courses (300 and 400). The Council moved to havestudents placed on the course level distribution committee. The g.p.a. problem was discussed briefly bythe Council. Discussion centered on whether a cumulative g.p.a. was a fair measure of a student's work. Letters have been received by the registrar stating that students perhaps did not do very well their firstyear, dropped out and went into the service or to work and then returned to college and settled down togood grades. These students feel that their poor year pulls down the cumulative g.p.a. that is recorded on their graduation transcript. Suggestions were made to have only a quarterly g.p.a. or perhaps allow thestudent to petition the Scholastic Standing Committee for a cancellation of grades for the two or threequarters of poor work. The Council decided to drop the question until ' they receive a suggestion to put iton the agenda. DON WIGHT Many topics have been brought forth in the mayoral campaigns: streets,pollution, recreation areas, planning, sewers, and many more. These items are important to Bellingham,but they are not really issues, debatable issues. They are problems which confront whoever becomesmayor. The one real issue is: which may will best serve the interests of Bellingham? This issue is amatter of attitude, concern, and methods. The man who makes the decisions during the next term willleave his mark on our city for many years to come. What kind of man do you want to make thosedecisions? Don Wight offers you: an administration whose first responsibility is to listen to the will of thepeople; a policy of open-mindedness in seeking solutions to our needs; a city hall which makes an effortto inform the citizens of city business, and to seek their involvement in its affairs; methods of organization which allow every position of responsibility in government the latitude and cooperation to functionefficiently and creatively; an outlook of optimism; an office which vigorously promotes and accepts thecooperation and contribution of all. The incumbent mayor has displayed, by his performance in office, anattitude of closemindedness, of running the show by himself, of limiting the scope of city departments,thereby decreasing their efficiency and morale. The doors of city hall have been closed, contrary to Mr.Williams claim. An election-time "open door policy" display does not erase that fact. Ask he people whowork for him, the people who have offered contribution, the educators and businessmen who have soughtcooperation with city. The doors have been closed . . . from within so that we are not informed of ourinterests being met, and from without so that community involvement is precluded. The claim has beengovernment based on sound business principles. Business principles are based on profitâ€”dollars andcents. The service of the government is people . .,. you, your family, your neighbors . . . and you cannotbe regarded on an adding machine or in accounting ledgers". Don Wight is concerned with the needs ofthe people. Don Wight's signs say "Your Mayor," because that is what he intends to be; a mayor to work for what you want. Your mayor. Debate this issue . . . the one issue, and then decide what kind of manyou want as our community's chief executive. THE MAYOR YOU CAN TALK TO (PAID POLITICALADVERTISING) City voters confront many candidates, issues During the September primary elections,Bellingham voters cut through a thicket of candidates and the ones they left behind could make for animpressive general election Tuesday. Mayor R. W. "Reg" Williams, who received 3,080 votes in theprimary, is challenged by Don Wight with 2,599. Jerry Burns, who racked up 891 votes, is still in therace with a low-key write-in campaign. In the race for City Comptroller is Hazel M. Stull, who came upwith 3,360 votes, and Ralph L. Hall, who placed second with 2,566. The City Treasurers race will showincumbent Don K. Hoffman, 3,451 primary votes, and R. I. "Dick" Jensen, 2,330. Stuart Litzsinger,Western's physical plant director, is in the councilman at large race with 2,430 votes against Archie N.Truax with 1,104 votes. Candidates for the various city wards, listed according to votes cast in theprimary, shape up this way: -Councilman First Ward: David A. Porter, Joyce Bauman. -Councilman Third Ward: Bob Arnett, Clayton O. "Mac" MacDonald. -Mary G. Knibbs and Frank A. Lahtonen are vying forthe fifth ward which encompasses the college area. City Attorney Richard A. Busse is runningunopposed for his office. Other topics facing Bellingham voters include the creation of a board offreeholders for the purpose of preparing a new city charter and the selection of members for that board.The freeholder position has attracted several people from Western including Gerald W. Brock, housingdirector, and Michael K. Mischaikow, professor of business and economics. Establishment of aBellingham Transit Commission will come under consideration along with the manner in which the city'sfire chief is appointed. Joel S. Douglas is lunning against incumbent Pete Zuanich for Commissioner ofthe Port of Bellingham. Propositions include bond issues for Whatcom County Parks and for theconstruction and equipment necessary for Whatcom Family Service Center. Voters will be asked tochoose Bellingham school board members. The list includes Ronald T. Jepson opposing Harold "Hal"Vaughn, Hal G. Arnason against Anna Mae Roedell, and Carol S.

It's called an upset. Just the sight of the word makes pigskin pickers squeamish. After this strange phenomenonoccurs, you can find the writers either drinking down at the local bar or searching for a high bridge.Luckily there are no high bridges in Bellingham, for we, like many other predictors, picked Stanford to ripWashington State. We were warned in advance though by Zelda the Soothsayer who saw a smilingIrishman in her crystal ball, but we didn't think it was Jim Sweeney, the Cougar's coach. Anyway, lastSaturday's Washington State win was a classical upset as the Cougars were anything but "hapless." ThePullman team clearly outplayed the Indians, and, barring several Cougar misques, Washington Statewould have beaten Stanford by a wider margin.

Photo byHoward Scott Perfect Viks rout Savages, 50-7 By KENT SHERWOOD When you sit back and thinkabout it, you have trouble avoiding the word "perfect" in d e s c r i b i n g W e s t e r n 's homecomingwin over arch-rival Eastern Washington, Saturday night at Civic Stadium. You could say "powerful," innoticing that the Vikings scored 50 points. You could also say "stingy" in view of the fact that theSavages could only muster seven counters.

OVER 40 ORDERS TO OO 676-0770 "Rushing" would work also, since the Viks rolled up 271 net yards on the ground, 205 of them by Tom Wigg in 25 carries along with threetouchdowns. "Passing" must also be thrown in, since Western quarterbacks Glenn Hadland andMarshall Torre combined for 205 yards on 10 completions in 14 attempts. Give consideration, too, to"championship" because the win all but wrapped up Western's first clean title in the EvergreenConference. But the only word that can do justice to all of those facts is still "perfect." Oh, sure, theViks' over eagerness caused 65 yards in five penalties, but the Blue Stop Department refused to let theSavages capitalize on any of them. And, true, Lance Wilson did miss his last two conversion Western'sgridders have a chance to wrap up the Evergreen Conference championship tomorrow night, whenEastern Oregon travels to Bellingham to meet the Viks. EOC is 4-2 over all and 3-1 in conference play.The Mounties boast a formidible ground attack led by John Huntsman. For the Vikings, ranked second in the Northwest behind Pacific Lutheran, it will be their final home appearance of the season. Game timeat Civic Stadium is 8 p.m. attempts, but if you had booted five previous points after, not to mention a 40-yard field goal and nine kickoffs, your leg would.be tired too. Hadland, obviously enjoying his best nightof the season, hit for four completions in five attempts and two touchdowns, of 67 and 14 yards to Steve Jasmer. Torre connected on six of nine, but could not throw for a score and settled for an 11 yard TDrun with 28 seconds left in the game. Wigg's scores all came in the first quarter on gallops of seven, 46and 29 yards. Hadland's strikes came in the second period and Wilson's field goal highlighted the thirdperiod. Sophomore Steve Skogmo scored from two yards out with 7:59 left in the game for the otherViking tally. Western's defense displayed their finest effort of the year by holding Eastern to 172 yardstotal offense and stopping All-Evco halfback Mel Collins with a scant 26 yards in 11 carries. TheSavages could only total 10 first downs, compared to 27 for the Vikings. The Big Blue also kept a near-capacity crowd of students and alums on the edge of their seats and for two-odd hours the Westernfaithful forgot the biting cold. Thinking about it, the only word that could accompany "perfect" would be"picture.

Bob McLauchlan photoGoltz wins race for legislature by HOWARD SCOTT Campus planner Barney Goltz won his first election as a state legislator Tuesday and is preparing for his fourth trip to Olympia as a representative. The next session of the legislature will find Goltz, a Democrat, serving for the first time as one of therepresentatives from the 42nd District, but he has served during the 1963, 1965 and 1967 sessions as alobbyist for Western. Goltz won his seat by defeating Republican Cas Farr by nearly 5,000 votes. Withthe absentee ballots still uncounted, Goltz unofficially had 14,549 votes to Farr's 9,675. Farr said hewould watch the absentee count, but wasn't holding his breath. He had been a representative for threeterms since he was first elected in 1966. In the campaign, Goltz supported a graduated, state incometax and full state funding of schools. He also made an issue of credibility. "There must be absoluteintegrity of candidates and office holders," he said. His opponent was against any income tax and hadurged reduction of property taxes. Other points in Goltz' campaign included removal of state sales taxfrom food and drugs, elimination of operating school levies and stricter control of oil tankers in PugetSound. Goltz had outpolled Western student Jim McKay in the Sept. 19 primary to get his chance at the legislature seat. the ^western front western Washington state college IOC Vol. 65 No. 12 FRIDAYNovember 10,1972 Bellingham, Wash. 'Fish cheer' prompts concert cancellation Report recommendsEvaluations published by AS, seniors take qualifying exams Editor's Note: This is the third of a five-partseries dealing with curricular problems at Western. by KATHI SANDBOE Most students like to knowsomething about a class or the teacher before they sign up for it, and one of the best ways to get thisinformation would be to read what other students said in their evaluations. But teachers who ask forstudent evaluations are the only on6s who see them, and it's a good bet that if the evaluations say theclass or the instructor is poor, he won't pass them around for students and his colleagues" to see.Another good bet is that if a teacher continuously has bad evaluations, he won't be too anxious to keepasking for them. The committee on curricular problems at Western looked at the problem of teaching and course content in their investigation of declining academic standards. They reported that the problem ofpoor instruction and courses of questionable academic value exist and may / be widespread in certaindepartments. They also reported that "two departments in particular drew the fire of both faculty andstudents in the written comments received by the committee." In an approach to this problem, thecommittee suggested that student evaluations be redirected and restructured. While admitting thatstudent evaluations are the only real source of information about what goes on in the classroom, theysuggested that funds be granted to the Associated Students to publish a comprehensive course critiqueeach spring. They asked that this critique use another method of gather evaluations other than theclassrooms. The committee also suggested that the college ask every graduating senior to brieflyevaluate every course and instructor he had at Western and to make these available for the studentcritique. Paul Roley, chairman of the committee, himself suggested going further than this and having an evaluation by students of every class every quarter. These evaluations would not be (Cont.onpg. 8) Theplaying of Country Joe McDonald's "fish cheer"â€”"give me an F...!"â€”over the air led to ; the arrest of an east coast disc jockey and the subsequent postponement of McDonald's concert at Western. A NorthCarolina disc jockey played the "fish cheer" during a live interview with McDonald and was later arrestedon an obscenity charge. M c D o n a l d and the Seven-Piece All-Star Band were to appear at Westernlast night as part of the college campus tour. However, several of the colleges canceled out following thefish cheer incident. "Apparently those who are responsible for McDonald's cancellations were offendedby the song," Paul Davis, director of the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), said. The "fishcheer" became famous during Woddstock, when Country Joe and the Fish (McDonald's old band) led500 thousand young people in the cheer. The Western concert was to be a benefit performance for theVVAW. However, because of financial problems resulting from the cancellations, McDonald haspostponed his appearance until Nov. 28 or 29. McDonald and the band will stop at Western for thebenefit performance while en-route to concert dates in Alaska. "People who have already bought theirtickets can keep them for the new concert or get their money refunded," Davis said. The group willperform on whichever day, Nov. 28 or 29, is best for the VVAW, according to Davis. A final decision onthe exact date of the concert is expected within a week. UGN close to final goal Western's faculty andstaff have neared their goal in the last day of campaigning for Whatcom County United Way (UnitedGood Neighbors).

Herbert Taylor Eventually 20 percent of college courses will be taught by computer. by DENNIS RITCHIE Students preferring" classeson a one-to-one basis between student and instructor may soon be able to have this, only it may bebetween student and computer. This is one of the possibilities of the proposed Can Ami project. Theproject was designed by Herbert Taylor, dean of faculty research. CanAmI stands for Canadian AmericanInstruction, which combines with computer assisted instruction. One of the original purposes of theprogram was to provide classes at a lower cost than traditional classroom techniques. But the projecthas grown into what could be a meaningful cooperation between the United States and Canada. Thepossibility that some classes could be taught by computer was one of the findings of Western'sComputer Policy Committee last year. The idea would be for students to be given a certain amount oftime at a teletype or a television screen connected to a computer. The student would punch in a studentidentification number and a number for the specific course desired. The student would then read the day's assignment on the teletype or screen. This would allow, the student to progress at his own pace. Hewould taice quizzes and an examination by computer to determine his level of competence. Taylor saidhe hopes that eventually 20 per cent of all college courses could be taught by computer and another 20per cent assisted by computer. The classes would be designed by a group of the best professors at theCanadian and American schools involved. In full operation, CanAmI could benefit the students of threeCanadian universities, Western and 10 community colleges. All schools are within 65 air miles ofWestern, the proposed center of the project. All of the schools also have compatible IBM equipment.There are several ways which courses could be exchanged. Two peaks, one in the San Juan Islands andone in the Gulf Islands, have a line of sieht to all locations - so that microwave towers could transmit toall schools. Another way would be the use of helicopters to transport courses or computer techniciansand professors. Either of these would enable students to take courses offered at one of the otherschools. Taylor said that in this way, the strengths of the schools could be pooled together to result in abetter education and a better relationship with schools that are close geographically but have no realcontact with each other. The estimated cost of the project is between 6.5 and 7.5 million dollars over thefirst five years. One-fourth of this would be allotted for faculty time spent designing courses, one-fifth foroperational expenses and the remainder for equipment. "CanAmI would probably pay for itself in sixyears, or at least by 10 years, easily," Taylor said. Also the project is such that it probably wouldn't beobsolete for 15 years at the earliest." The project's funding could come from several areas. A billappropriating the money may be introduced to Congress next year. Taylor has enlisted the support ofCongressman Lloyd Meeds and Senator Warren Magnuson to handle such a bill in Congress. The restof the money could be provided through the International Education Act of 1965. This act provides fundsfor educational programs such as this. Approval would also have to be obtained from Canadianleadership in Ottawa and provincial approval from Victoria, B.C. The present status of CanAmI is notdefinite. The Canadian universities contacted have expressed interest in the project, and half of thecommunity colleges have responded favorably. Meeds has said that he might introduce the bill inFebruary at the earliest. Funding could then be approved in late spring and planning could begin inSeptember. A later introduction would have the talks beginning in September of 1974. Big BrotherComputer is starting to bug you by KEITH MYETTE 1984 is closer than you think. P r i v a c y from the computerization of information has decreased dramatically since World War II, according to Seattlelawyer Edmund Raftis. Raftis spoke to a research methodology class in sociology about the abuses ofmass data gathering by computers. In the past it was easy to protect an individual's privacy, he said.Data gathering was decentralized and superficial. The advent of the use of computers enlarged theaudience receiving personal data, while the individual has not been aware of what's happened to hisprivacy, he said. Raftis said there are "tremendous uses" which a computer could be used for, but theuse of names is unnecessary. Organizations that collect and disseminate information include theCensus Bureau, the Internal Revenue Service, and the Post Office, he said. The Census Bureau, whenconducting their questioning, makes no distinction between important questions which have to beanswered, and those that an individual does not have to answer, he said. The Internal Revenue Servicehas an agreement with all state governments to hand over information concerning gross income andother data on IRS forms, he added. The Post Office has computers which can pick off the name ofwriters in all correspondence, he added.

Wesfern to set hiring policy forminorities and women by SONJA BROWN Western must remedy discrimination in employment againstminority groups and women or face the withdrawal of up to $3.5 million in federal funds. The All-CollegeSenate will hold a hearing Monday on a proposed "affirmative action" program, designed to comply with a federal directive to develop equal employment opportunity at all institutions receiving federal grants. Asstated in the preliminary draft, which will be discussed at the senate meeting, the objectives of theprogram are to eliminate discrimination on the basis of race, color, creed, national origin, age or sex andto develop equal employment opportunity. The program seeks to develop a work force at all levelsthroughout the college which reflects the availability of minorities and women in the labor market. Asstated in the report, the minorities the affirmative action program are concerned with are "Blacks, Asians, American Indians and Spanish sur-named Americans." Some of the proposed ways to implement theprogram are: -prohibition of appointments until the positions have been advertised openly and minoritygroup and women candidates have been sought out. â€”target dates for achieving specific employmentgoals. â€”review of complaints of discrimination by a committee represented by minority groups andwomen. In areas where women and minorities tend to hold lower-level jobs, promotion of those peoplealready employed by the college will be encouraged. Through the offices of the Bureau of FacultyResearch, Financial Aids and Campus Planning, Western receives approximately $3.5 million-annually in federal grants. Gov. Dan Evans has also issued a directive to all state agencies to establish affirmativeaction plans. William Bultmann, acting provost, will be the equal employment opportunity complianceofficer for Western. Since the spring of this year an affirmative action committee under the chairmanshipof Fillip Leanderson, personnel officer at Western, has been working on the preliminary draft to bediscussed at the senate meeting. Copies of the proposal are available at the Personnel Office, Old Main104. Open hearing for jobs An "affirmative action" proposal for equal opportunity employment at Westernwill be discussed at an open hearing of the All-College â€¢ Senate Monday at 5 p.m. in Viking Union361. Copies of the proposal are available in the Personnel Office, Old Main 104. Anyone wishing tospeak on the proposal should contact George Gerhold, ext. 3156, before the meeting. Walk-a-thon forretarded children A walk for the retarded will be held tomorrow and Sunday to raise money for the state's mentally retarded children. The walk is sponsored by the local chapter of the Washington Associationfor Retarded C h i l d r e n , a non-profit organization devoted to improving Jhe\general, welfare pf thestate's mentally retarded. Three different routes are planned this weekend in Whatcom County-all about20 miles in length. A walk for the retarded will be held in the county tomorrow. It will start at 8 a.m.,both from Lynden and from Nooksack Valley high schools. A city walk route will start at 8 a.m. Sundayin front of the Bellingham High School. Also planned Sunday is a bike-a-thon, which will began at 9 a.m. from Fairhaven Park in south Bellingham and will go aiong Chuckanut Drive.

However, the original proposal which would have tacked oaan additional $1.75 to eachstudent's tuition and fees to subsidize student bus fares, was turned down because of the a t t o r n e ygeneral's office's statement questioning its legality. Asst. Atty. Gen. William Gingery asked that theboard consider whether the proposal was essential to furthering the aims of the college because itinvoluntarily taxed all students. "The significance of this letter is that the collection will have to bevoluntary," board chairman Jim Kennedy said. Board member Don Walley suggested that the board work out all possibilities with city transit manager Ed Griemsmann before taking any action on any otherproposal. The board agreed to look for Housing now in one office Off-campus housing listings will behandled through the on-campus housing office located in High Street Hall, beginning Monday. Allstudent housing will then be listed in one office. The old wall listings of apartments and houses for rentand notices will be gone from the old AS housing office, Viking Union 214A. C.T. Bensel, housing andemployment commissioner, will continue to offer mediation services between tenants and landlords, orbetween employers and employees in VU 214A. Nothing has really changed except the room numbers.All services formerly offered to students are still available alternatives to the original proposal. The board also contributed $50 to the United Good Neighbors Campaign (UGN)and two members were asked tosolicit volunteers to collect funds on campus for the " w o r t h y public service" organization. UGNprovides community services such as the Crisis Clinic, Red Cross, Boy's Club, YMCA, YWCA and 16others. Interested volunteers should contact the AS office in Viking Union 227. Co-ed assault bringsarrests Two Whatcom County men have been charged in connection with the assault of a Western co-ed, who was picked up while hitchhiking on Indian Street near Chestnut Street Tuesday morning. The19-year-old girl accepted a ride from two men and they forced her to ride with them south of Bellinghamnear the county line, according to police reports. After stopping the car in a wooded area, they forcedher at knife point to do an "indecent act." After investigation, two men were picked up by Bellinghampolice and Whatcom County Sheriff's Deputies. A 26-year-old Bellingham man pleaded guilty to a charge of assault and sodomy during a Wednesday afternoon hearing. The Superior Court judge ordered a pre-sentence report made on the man. He was held on $3,000 bail. Charged with aiding and abettingassault and committing sodomy was a 18-year-old county man. No plea was entered and the judge toldhim to obtain an attorney. Bail was set at $2,000. * â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ â€¢ * * * * * * } J EXCLUSIVE! * jROCK"ROLLj * * * * * * * * REUNION SIX-HOUR, NON-STOPCONCERT * * * ) f %KISM'S ROCK 'N ROLL REUNION stars: Bill Haley t h e | 3 1 Comets, DelShannon, Joe Turner, Chuck Rio thep ^ I Champs, Chirley Lee, Ricky Nelson, Buddy Knox,| yL IJimmy Clanton, Connie Francis, Chiffons, the Olympics, | 3 I Freddy Cannon, Fabian, Smokey Robinson the Miracles, | ^ f j t h e Everly Brothers, Little Richard, Duane Eddy, the F o u r | ^ yL 1 Seasons,Shirelles, Cadillacs, Elegants, Jan Dean, Shields, | J ^ 1 Danny the Juniors, and of course the KING-ELVIS . . . | ! ^ ^ iall on STAGE.

Is your vocabulary too small? Maybe you're having trouble remembering what you read. If yourproblem is reading, Western's Reading Center will be glad to help you. The Reading/Skills Center inMiller Hall 251 exists to serve students. Its purpose is teaching students to achieve their goals in readingin the least amount of time. June Newton, director of the center, said that students come in "becausethey feel dissatisfied or inefficient, or they may feel other students are getting more out of the assignedreading than they are." One student who came in had an overload and seven books to read in twoweeks. He wanted to know how to get through it. Another was in pre-law and had to read a thick bookand remember what he had read. A number of students have trouble with the general education blockwhere they may have to read 1,100 pages and then respond on what they read. This may be three timesas much reading as they did in high school. Other students say their reading has slowed down becausethey are thinking more as they read, they're bogged down and their assignments are piling up. Newtonfirst tries to find out the particular problem, and then plans a program for the individual. Other problemsmay come to light after the classes begin, or a particular kind of reading may be stressed one quarter ifthe student feels he needs it. "People usually don't know what they need; they are confused about theirproblem," Newton said. The program covers a wide range of vocabulary development and readingcomprehension. Techniques to improve reading and study skills are offeredâ€”how to organize your timeand how to prepare for and take exams. The center tries to get the students to set a purpose for theirreading whether they have to recite it after they are through, solve a problem, draw conclusions or relate it to what they already know. "In the main, we try to get students to read faster and with morecomprehension," Newton said. If a student wants to build his vocabulary, there are program books which include things such as prefixes and suffixes that the student can use if he wants to. When a studentbrings in the material he is having difficulty with, the center will work out techniques to help him learn that material. The classes are voluntary and cost $3. "Freshmen in particular should look into the program,"Newton said. "It's very helpful to them."

Student sex: quiet or dead? Students are either not as loose as they used to be, or they are keeping their problems to themselves, the AS Sex InformationOffice believes. The Sex Information Office, Viking Union 216, encourages counseling preceding orfollowing any sex oriented questions or problems a student might have. Although once understaffed, the office now has the student volunteers necessary to cope with any sexual problem that may arise. Theirproblem now, however, is that the students are not cooperating. According to Donna Smith, acounselor, the main objective of the office is to give advice, not judgments. Shei also said that alldiscussions can be held in the strictest confidence and that referrals will be given if any professional help is needed. Some of the subjects that are discussed with Sex Information officers are venereal disease,abortion, natural childbirth, birth control, breast feeding, t u b u l a r s t e r i l i z a t i o n s, vasectomiesand homosexuality. Gay's split-up their meetings Every Wednesday gay men and women meetseparately to discuss their problems.

A special committee of the Academic Council is trying to find out what kind of problems the general educationclasses are having at Western. So far the only feedback the committee is getting is from the faculty.Students are needed to add their two cents, but at the last public hearing only three faculty membersshowed up. If the committee hopes to make any well-rounded report and suggestions on improvingclasses, it must have input from students. The meetings are open and held at 3 p.m. Wednesday inMiller Hall Room 158. Take your opinions out of the coffee shop and put them to work. Just a matter ofpolicy, Dr. There have been some questions raised by faculty members why the Western Front no longeruses "Dr." in front of their names if they have a Ph.D. It's not that reporters have anything against titles;it's just that the editor feels the titles are not necessary for identification. The same editorial policyapplies to the use of "Miss" and "Mrs.", which has been dropped entirely, along with "Ms." Althoughsome newspapers are starting to use "Ms.", we feel it won't be long before this title goes the way of "Dr." (with the exception of medical doctors). For those faculty who feel the Front is playing down their titlesfrom lack of respect, check to see how many newspapers write "Dr. Henry Kissinger." Academicstandards raises questions Editor, Western Front: Kathi Sandboe's report (November 3) of the work ofthe Academic Council Committees on Curricular Problems and Academic Standards raises questions for me that apparently did not occur to those committees. If they did, I assume she would have reported the conclusions, for they would be of central importance in determining what it is going to mean to be astudent and teacher at Western in the future. Question: Are academic standards declining or arestandards we set for meaningful human interaction in education on the rise? It may just be the case thata significant number of teachers have finally faced the fact that grading is often a deterrent to real learning and have taken steps to neutralize it. Then too, there are some classes where learning is based upon agroup process that makes it a cooperative rather than a competitive activity. Where this is the case, it isoften possible for "unusual" numbers of students to do "excellent" work. Question: Why do "recentstudies" indicate "that the pass/fail system tends to encourage a lower level of performance"? Perhaps it has something to do with the increased ability of students in pass/fail courses to be discerning aboutwhat matters and what doesn't. Eliminating grades as a motivational factor means some teachers will behard put to justify what they ask of students. Question: What is a "marginal" student? Is he or shesomeone who presents teachers with real challenges? I have the distinct impression that some of uswould like to limit Western's student body to those students who need us the least. Of course,competent learners are a joy to all teachers, but we are mistaken and/or misguided if we think statecolleges are meant to be academically fatal and psychologically brutal to those whom some frustratedmerchant of academic credit labels "marginal". Question: Can "academic standards" be standardized?Put another way, is it prudent and productive to try to force all teachers to grade the same way? I submit that it is impossible to do and destructive to try. If is was possible, to do so would amount to the mostbasic kind of infringement of academic freedom. Question: Is all the evidence on declining academicstandards in? Has someone identified the best four consecutive years Western ever had, sought outmembers of that graduating class, tested them thoroughly and run comparative tests on a more recentgroup afflected with pass/fail, marginal students and teachers who apparently don't know the value of "A"and "B"? Not to my knowledge. These are among the questions that occurred to me as I read Ms.Sandboe's report. I have taken the liberty of sharing my own responses to these questions in the hopethat others will come forward with theirs before someone decides to the detriment of our entirecommunity what THE answer is. This is simply not an area in which there is to be found any singleRIGHT answer. The current search for an answer to the problem is revealing of nothing so much as it is of a basic distrust of each other that haunts these halls of learning just as it does so many otherinstitutions. Now there is a problem we would do well to work on.

Why has the Academic Council decided to stop publishing summary-transcripts of itsmeetings, and only print the motions and results, keeping an audio tape for a year as the "record"? Didyou ever try to "scan" a tape? Seems to me it will be impossible to get a clear picture of theirproceedings without attending every meeting. - R.S. This change is basically an economy measure. Itwas requested by the provost, and approved by the Academic Council. Robert Monahan, chairman of theAcademic Council, cited the main reasons for the change: to conserve paper (many reams) and-time ofthe secretarial staff (many hours) and because very few people actually read the complete transcript. Tofully accommodate those interested in the verbatim discussion, Monahan said, the recorded tape isretained, and anyone may see it for one year afterward in the office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences inOld Main.

At no time has the Front producedthe slightest shred of evidence to support these criticisms, and your November 3rd editorial is noexception". If you have any such evidence, then I suggest that you make it known. If you have no suchevidence, then your editorial is, at best, just plain dumb, and at worst, grossly irresponsible. PhillipMontague A s s o c i a t e Professor- Philosophy Western's cult of secrecy Editor, the Front; The cultof secrecy which has sprung up on the campus this year is inexcusable. Secrecy is the haven of thecoward, the incompetent, the thief and the liar and has no place in a so-called institution of highereducation within a democracy. Secrecy may be convenient for the gutless but it is a disaster for thesociety as a whole.

Western battles Eastern Eastern will beout for revenge tomorrow when the Savages host Western in an Evergreen Conference football game.Last year, the Vikings belted Eastern 50-7 in Western's Homecoming game. This year it's Eastern'sHomecoming and the Savages would like nothing better than to turn the trick on the Vikings. TheSavages' record is' not exactly glittering this season, as they have lost one more game than the Vikings. Eastern's record is 2-6 while Western's stands at 2-5. The Big Blue has been spared of injuries thisseason, but Eastern has not. The Savages lost sophomore halfback John O'Connor for the last fivegames with a leg injury and also lost senior quarterback Pete Glindeman for two games with a brokenhand. In Eastern's first three games, O'Connor rushed for 261 yards. Glindeman has passed for 908yards and eight touchdowns. AARDVARK X.fTWTBIT.

Curtis has thrown for 392 yards in threegames. Catching the football for Eastern will be all-conference split end Bob Picard, who ranks secondamong Evco receivers with 37 receptions for 517 yards. Along with Picard will be tight end ScottGarske, who has 29 catches for 411 yards. Garske also leads the conference in punting, averaging 38.4yards a kick. Eastern's defense against running plays ranks second in the conference behind Westernand is led by the linebacking trio of Al Bushnel, John Daniels and John Van Deelen. Jack Dolan's returnmay give Western's offensive and defensive lines an added boost. Dolan missed the last two gameswith a sprained ankle. Head football coach Boyde Long has expressed some concern about the blocking of his offensive line in last week's game against Oregon College. Western backs gained only 56 netyards. For quarterback, it is a toss up between Marshall Torre who started against Oregon College, andTom Leuhman who came off the bench in the Oregon game to run the shotgun formation. The shotgunappears to be a doubtful weapon against Eastern. Game time tomorrow is at 1 p.m. Front ForecastWestern to win, not so for UW While the presidential race was boring in terms of closeness, the FrontForecast battle for the top prognosticator remains tighter than odds on graduation. Howard Scott ralliedlast week to tie season-long leader Kent Sherwood, both with 41 of 54 games correct. That will changeafter tomorrow's games, however. Scott, Sherwood and sports editor O. K. Johnson, who is a close thirdwith 40 games right, all pick seven of the eight games unanimously. On the one differing contest, though, Sherwood went out on the proverbial limb for the second week in a row, by being the lone seer to choose Washington's Huskies to defeat U. C. L. A.'s Bruins. Sherwood noted Washington's homefield,Homecoming advantage, in addition to the return of Sonny Sixkiller and the fact that the Huskies "are just simply due for a big win." The former sports editor may have some insight going for his unlikely pick. Hewas the lone forecaster to correctly choose Whitworth over previously unbeaten Central last week. Forthe first time in four weeks, Western gets the three-way nod tomorrow, over Eastern Washington. Thegame should be close, though, as the Savages celebrate Homecoming remembering last year's 50-7Viking win in Bellingham. Also, for the first time this year, the Southern California Trojans have not beenpicked to win. The nation's number one ranked team will be idle tomorrow, before next week's big gamewith U. C. L. A. As the Front sees them, these should be the results in tomorrow's Evergreen Conference and Pacific-8 Conference games. GAME Western at E. Wash E.

NBC Vikings, coached byBowman, will face Northwest Conference champion Whitworth, as well as Central, Eastern, PacificLutheran, Simon Fraser and Whitman. Bowman said that Whitworth and Central will be the teams forhis harriers to beat. At the Evco meet, Central finished second behind the Vikings. Eastern placed fifth.Last year, Whitworth placed 1 l th at the national meet. While they have lost a few runners, they areexpected to be a tough team to beat. Bowman said he feels his team is good enough to be one of thetop 10 teams in the NAIA. The consistency his team has shown this season, coupled with the widemargin of victory at the conference meet is expected to bear him out. B e f o r e winning the conferencemeet, Western reeled off three straight dual-meet victories plus winning their own Western Invitational.The Vikings lost only one meet, their first run at the Calgary Invitational. Paul Scovel, finishing third atthe Evco meet, and Mike Shaw have been the harriers two most consistent men. They are followed byTom Duncan, Will Rathvon, Fred New and Russ Fuller. Bowman has said that Western does not haveany outstanding runners, but that all his men "run tough". The Vikings proved they could "run tough" byplacing six finishers among the top 10 runners at the conference meet. ---------- Western Front - 1972 November 10 - Page 7 ---------- the ^.western front sports ^ OK's Korner Remember the Alamo! by 0. K. Johnson, sports editor Lastyear about this time, Western's football team hosted Eastern in what was billed as a crucial game for theEvergreen Conference championship. The Savages were slaughtered, to say the least, 50-7, and Western all but clinched the title. This year the situation is a little bit different. The Vikings have had a rough timethis season, winning only two games in seven outings. Eastern has had an even rougher time though,winning only two games in eight outings. It's almost a replay of last year's build up except that the Evcotitle is definitely not at stake this time around. After taking a pounding like the Savages took last year,more will be involved than just trying to beat Western. One can safely say the Savages will be out forblood and anything else they can get. Tomorrow's game takes on proportions similar to the WashingtonHuskies and the U.C.L.A. Bruins two years ago. If you recall, three years ago, Washington had one of the worst records they've ever had and U.C.L.A. stomped them badly in Los Angeles. The next year,Washington hosted the Bruins and walloped them in Seattle. Neither team has forgotten those games and the sting of those losses will be around for a long time. While neither Western nor Eastern has really put things together yet this year, the Savages will have a whole lot going for them tomorrow. First andforemost is the beating they took last year. Second, the game is played in Cheney. Finally, members ofthe Eastern football team want to win this game more than any other game they have played this season. From what Paul Madison, Western's sports information director said Wednesday, it appears that there is no love lost between these two teams. Before the Eastern Oregon game, which Eastern lost, one of theEastern players was quoted as saying, "There isn't that much left to do the rest of the season other thanto beat the (use the word of your choice) out of Western." I would imagine that view is shared by themajority of the Savage ball club. It appears the Big Blue is going to have to play their butts off becauseEastern seems ready for a do-or-die effort against the team that humiliated them one year ago. Nobodylikes to lose, let along lose by a lot. Eastern is no exception. Offensively, with the starting backfieldhealthy, Eastern poses a problem to the Big Blue, a problem they have had trouble solving so far thisseason. Eastern can move the ball both on the ground and through the air. It is against a team of this type that has frustrated Western. While boasting possibly the best running attack in the conference, theViking passing game has left a lot to be desired. Western quarterbacks have drawn opposing defensiveplayers to their passes 14 times this season. Without the passing game to complement the fine runningattack the Big Blue has, the Vikings have been stopped in the second half of almost all their games bythe defense keying on the runners. Opposing defenses know Western can't pass very well, and in the last two games, Tom Wigg and Steve Skogmo have been defensed effectively. Western has a passingquarterback who has completed roughly 40 per cent of his passes, but the coaching staff uses aquarterback who's passing percentage falls below 30 per cent and leads the conference in interceptions.Presumably the coaching staff feels this one individual is a better play caller. That may or may not be so.But when your team falls behind and time is running out, you are forced to pass. Would you rather have a man \vho averages about 40 per cent completions, or one who averages less than 30 per cent and leadsthe conference in interceptions? Western has the potential. The players are there. The majority of thestarters this year were on last year's team. They know what it is like to win. They also know what it is like to lose. The object of winning a game is to use your best talent at the right positions, execute properlyand get a few lucky breaks and to capitalize on those breaks. For most of the time, the Vikings havelooked good and executed well. It is just at those times when they don't execute well, like passing inside your own 10-yard line and having it intercepted and runback for a touchdown, or fumbling inside the 10-yard line, that has hurt Western so much this year. It has been the defense, not the offense this, yearthat has come up with the big play to set up Western's victories. Tomorrow, Western is going to have toput it all together against Eastern. If they don't, the Vikings might be in for a long afternoon becauseEastern is going to remember that 50-7 game like the Texans remembered the Alamo.

Bob McLauchlan photo Western airs news show by SCOTT ANDERSON A small group of Westernstudents and faculty are producing a 10-minute television news program which is being aired once aweek over a local channel. Steve Neff, student news director of the program called Western View, said he hoped to see the creation of communications department at Western which would be equivalent toâ€” if not better â€” than the communications school at the University of Washington. "However, theAcademic Council must first be convinced that there is a demand for such a program," Neff said. Allwork for the program is done on a strictly voluntary basis, Neff said. "While we are basically a student-oriented and student-run program, we have good professional backing. "Our goal is to achieve highquality professional production, as on Seattle stations, through the guidance of people who have hadprofessional experience," Neff said. Currently,-Western View is a ten-minute news program presentedonce a week on Telecable's channel 10. Neff would like to see the program expanded to a twice-a-weekproduction in the near future, and to a five day a week production by spring quarter. Western View began summer quarter and had three productions during the quarter. The basic purpose of Western View is topresent campus news in a way that would interest the community, Neff said. The program's formatincludes a brief overview of two or three items of general interest, followed by an in-depth featurepresentation. The program also mentions coming events open or of interest to the public. The mostrecent addition to the program has been commentaries contributed by students in the speechdepartment. Neff, who became involved in the program when Al Smith of the education media department was looking for volunteers, would like to move away from his current position as anchor man intoproduction of a forum program. Such a show would give visitors to Western and student organizations achance to explain their programs and voice their opinions to residents of the Bellingham community.Neff, a journalism major, said that students who are interested in television news must currently workwith several departments to get necessary courses for a major. The technology department offersclasses in television production, the speech department offers classes in broadcasting, the journalismprogram offers newswriting "classes and education media handles the technical classes. Many television newscasters now come from the print media, since there are few good visual communications schools,Neff said. "Television is the wave of the future. We need people trained specifically for television news."Evaluations and exams (Cont.frompg. 1) done in class and would be done one quarter after taking theclass to give the student a better perspective. One of the ad hoc committees formed by the AcademicCouncil was asked to look at academic standards. They were asked to "examine evaluation proceduresrelating to the quality of classroom instruction and of course content to determine if they are adequate for helping to insure a quality academic program . . . ." Chris Taylor, chairman of this committee, saiddepartment chairmen were asked to give written reports on how they police the quality of the classes intheir departments and to look at the policies of tenure, promotion and how to help ineffective teachersbecome better. He also said they were looking at faculty evaluations by other faculty and the overallstatistics on student evaluations. Taylor said his committee is taking a close look at student evaluations. "There is far too much emphasis on student evaluations and not enough at looking for other ways,"Taylor said. He thought the committee would probably recommend ways other than these evaluations tolook at the quality of instruction. Roley's committee on curricular problems also looked at the quality ofWestern's graduates in connection with the decline in academic standards. They reported that althoughno evidence has been submitted to support it, they strongly suspect the quality of graduating seniors has declined. They stated they felt that "too many of our graduates don't read well or enough, are unable toexpress themselves on an acceptable level either in writing or orally, are largely innocent of theprocesses of logic, have little taste in any of the arts and are generally devoid of any commitment to thecontinued exercise of the intellect beyond the limited boundaries of thought required for the performanceof their jobs. As an approach to this problem, they recommended that qualifying exams be required of all graduating seniors. The committee said that sometime in each student's senior year he should berequired to take written exams designed to test his skill in "expressing himself in writing, his ability tothink critically and his level of aesthetic appreciation." They said the student should be allowed as manychances to pass as he needs with the provision that he cannot graduate until he satisfactorily passes it.The committee also recommended that individual departments consider giving qualifying exams in themajor field. In establishing a plan for these tests, the committee recommended two tests be given, onein aesthetic appreciation and the other in critical analysis. The test of aesthetic appreciation would be acritical review of a novel, movie, work of art or any combination of these. The test of critical analysiswould be to write an analysis of a journal or magazine article in an area of common knowledge. Thecommittee said these tests should be scheduled three times a year and a student would sign up to takethem. They also said there should be a designation on the student's diploma of the number of times hehad to take the test before he passed. For instance, those who passed the exams on their first attemptwould be given top honors and those who passed on their second try would be given second honors andso on. They also felt students should have to pay for the materials needed for the exams and should also pay maybe a dollar fee for the grading of the tests. Roley admits it would be unlikely that these examswould gain the support of the students or faculty. "I'm a minority of one on this campus," he said. But he said he felt it was the only thing to do. "It would show what kind of students we're putting out." NextFriday: The general education at Western is unsatisfactory, according to the committee. Problems andsolutions will be examined. ( Take big breaths for broadcasting bySUEGAWRYS "Take a nice deepbreath and relax. Let's try it again." These are familiar words to Alden Smith's speech 241 class,broadcast communication. Each week, half the class prepares a six-minute radio program covering news, information, sports and commentary, which is aired over local stations. The other half of the 16-memberclass prepares weekly 10-minute specials, to be aired for the next four weeks beginning Nov. 11. Thefirst of a three-part sequence in broadcast communication trains students in the workings of radio.Besides learning how to operate the recording equipment (since Western doesn't have a transmitter,shows must be taped and delivered to the station), students seek out news, write their scripts and deliver them over the air. Smith, who used to work in commercial radio, said that preferences among thespecific duties develop, so "not everyone does everything." Half the class works on the news show fortwo weeks, then switches to the special for two weeks. "In the beginning, there was a big problem inengineering," Mike Breda, a student in the class, said. "No one was acquainted with this type ofequipment." The broadcast studio, on the third floor of Old Main, is housed in three narrow, white-walledrooms. The control room, with all the knobs, buttons, turntables and tapes, is where the sounds areblended for the show. Two students usually man this during the show, being responsible for the quality ofthe sound produced. The big window looks into the studio, where the four-man news team speaks intothe large microphones. Another window connects into an observation room, where class members canwatch the show take shape. Despite the complexity of the equipment, Breda said it is fairly easy tolearn. "The reason it takes so long (about one and a half hours for an average six-minute show) is thatnot everyone is familiar with the board," he said. "And there's pressure, too, so people tend to makemistakes." For the students who act as reporters, there is A Preparing to tape another news show are(counter-clockwise) Neil Clement, Pat Duggan, Bob Haguewood and Diane Carlson. Thorn Schultz photothe special problem of gathering news. Since the- show is geared toward tying together the campus andthe community and is broadcast over a country-western station, a pop station and an oldies-but-goodiesstation, it must appeal to a wide audience, Neil Clement, another class member, said. The newsreporters cover regular "beats" or news sources, such as the Viking Union, President Flora and sports."Not much is happening on campus," Breda commented. "We're running out of news." Once the news isobtained, it must be pared down to a specific time limit, so it can fit into the program. "It's really hard tostay within that time limit," Clement said. The news format contains a stock opening, news andinformation briefs, in-depth news, sports, bulletin board (events on campus) and commentary, with astandard closing. This week's show, for example, covered two "actualities," which are taped interviewswith sources outside the show. One was with the crew coach, and another was with Flora about theprisoner-release program suggested for Western. The "actualities" man is responsible for taping theseinterviews. Two other behind-the-scenes crew members are the program director, overall supervisor of theprogram, and the traffic director, who types scripts. The news program airs Tuesdays at 7:05 p.m. onKGMI and 11:30 p.m. on KPUG. On Wednesdays, it is broadcast at 8 a.m. on KISM, 12:30 p.m. onKBFW and 6 p.m. on KERI. J

JOHNSON Tod Sundquist, ASpresident, has asked the AS legislature to join him and other members of the executive branch in astudent campaign to raise faculty and staff salaries. The campaign, divided into five phases, is directedat state lawmakers to get them to examine the need for higher salaries. Phase Oneâ€”A petitioncampaign, already underway, aims at collecting at least 5,000 student signatures at Western to presentto important state legislators. Phase Two-Sundquist is attempting to encourage similar activities at other four-year institutions around the state. Saturday, Sundquist will meet with other student body presidents at the University of Washington to discuss the issue. Phase Threeâ€”A mail campaign will be directedat parents of Western students to inform them of the need to increase faculty and staff salaries, and toask them to take any action that they may regard as appropriate. Phase Four-A publicity campaignthrough every available element of the news media to bring the salary case to the taxpayers and voters of the state will be begun. Phase Five-The entire effort will conclude with a vigorous and extensivecampaign to personally inform state lawmakers of Western's needs and desires concerning faculty andstaff salaries. "A recent study of Western's salary scale in relation to similar institutions in seven otherstates," said Sundquist, "revealed that our salary position falls at least 10 per cent below comparablecolleges and universities and will, most TOD SUNDQUIST likely, further deteriorate to a level of 15 percent short of parity if faculty salaries at Western are not increased before the 1972-73 academic year,"Comparing Western against schools around the nation, the situation is even worse. Moreover, inWashington, comparable state and federal employees, electricians and truck drivers are but a few of themany groups who have seen their salaries increased far more frequently and substantially thanWestern's faculty during the past five years," he said. Sundquist also said the task of attracting new,young faculty to Western has become difficult. A few examples were given the legislature. "A newteacher with a Ph.D. in speech pathology and audiology from the University of Washington was offered$11,500 by Western, but accepted $16,000 from the University of Cincinnati," said Sundquist. In another instance, Western had an opening for a doctorate in school psychology-school counseling. Of nineapplicants, three were qualified. Western offered $ 11,000 to a woman from the University of Utah.Instead, she accepted a $14,000 position from a California State College The second qualified applicantturned down Western's offer, accepting a $17,500 position at Arizona State University. The third alsoaccepted a $ 17,500 position elsewhere. Steps have been taken by College President Charles Flora tobring back Western and other four-year institutions around the state as contenders in the job market.Flora recently submitted a $168 million supplemental operating budget for the 1971-72 fiscal year to thelegislature for consideration. Most of the money would be used for improving the salary structure forWestern faculty and staff. Sundquist urged the AS legislature, as students and responsible leaders tolend a hand in the effort. Sundquist added, "If Western is left with poor and mediocre faculty, as aconsequence of insultingly low salaries, it will be you and I and every student of Western, present andfuture, who will bear the burden of low quality education." The making of an Ail-American rat â€”In thedepths of the Miller Hall basement Front reporter Steve Carvey came up with a story both humorous and educational. His account of an experiment conducted by a psychology class in motivation and theexploits of "Big Lew," a rat that plays basketball, are on pages 6 and 7 in today's paper.

After considerablediscussion on the duties and authority of the temporary officials, the Senate elected Marvin Olmstead,faculty senator from the speech department, as temporary chairman, and Harvey Gelder, faculty senatorfrom Fairhaven, as temporary secretary. The new governing body also elected James Kennedy to be thestudent representative on the temporary Executive Committee, composed of Kennedy, Olmstead, Gelderand President Charles J. Flora, a constitutional appointee. Those were the only formal actions taken bythe Senate during the entire two-hour session. Following an address by President Flora, Stanly Daugert,the author of the original proposal which resulted in the Senate's formation, said that the Senate shouldnot elect permanent officers until the senators had an opportunity to meet and get to know each other.He suggested that the Senate elect a temporary chairman to conduct business until the senatorsdecided they wanted to elect permanent officers. After half a dozen motions, and as many amendmentsto Daugert's original suggestion, the Senate elected Olmstead and Gelder from a field that includedWillard Brown, faculty, physics; and Robert Teshera, faculty, geography. Kennedy was elected oversenators Bub Ezell and Joe McConkey for the student seat on the temporary Executive Committee. Thenumber of votes cast for the individual winners was not revealed, but it was apparent from the totalnumbers of votes cast for each election that several of the 37 senators present preferred not to vote at all. Others turned in blank ballots or wrote "abstain" on their ballots. Absent from Wednesday's meetingwere senators Larry Diamond, Jerome Glass, Don House, Sam Kelly, Frederick Sargent II and LarryVance. The Senate voted to elect permanent officers at its fourth regular meeting and set a period of 60days within which the next three meetings shall take place. After nearly 30 minutes of discussion, theSenate set its next meeting for 5 p.m. Nov. 29. A place for the meeting was not set. WashPIRG petitions reach 4 J00 students About 4,700 signed petitions have been collected for the $1 surcharge onregistration fees to finance consumer advocacy under the Washington Public Interest Research Group(WashPIRG). WashPIRG sponsors hope to college 6,000 signatures by next Wednesday. Eight otherschools in Washington have started petition drives. These are: the University of Washington (UW),Highline Community College in King County, North Seattle Community College, Seattle Pacific College,Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, Gonzaga University in Spokane and Skagit Valley CommunityCollege. Washington State University will begin a petition drive February 1. Other colleges are planningpetition drives. According to Dave Humphreys, a UW WashPIRG organizer, the UW has collected over14,800 student petitions. They need 16,540 signatures to have 50 per cent of the student body. The UWhas such a divergent student body with night classes that it is extremely difficult to find students whohave not signed, he said. At the UW, the Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) have gone on record tooppose WashPIRG. Their biggest attack has been on the $1 mandatory tax and the refund system,Humphreys pointed out. YAF claims that the Oregon Public Interest Research Group (OsPIRG) atPortland State University would refund only 80 cents of the $1 fee allocated to their group. Humphrey ssaid that actually the students at Portland State only contributed 76 cents in fees to OsPIRG and wererefunded the same amount. He said that YAF does see a need for a PIRG and have really only attackedthe tuition method. Humphreys said that the amazing fact about the public interest research groupswhich have sprung up in Minnesota and Oregon is that not one school has failed to get at least 50 percent of the student body signing petitions. At one school 90 per cent of the students signed. SPRIGopposes UW WashPIRG Two student groups on the University of Washington (UW) campus have joined in opposition to WashPIRG. The Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) and the Federated YoungRepublicans (FYR), have formed SPRIG, the Student Public Research Interest Group. "The purpose ofSPRIG is to research the merits and demerits of campus projects, local business and area enterprises,"said Galen Tyler, YAF chairman and SPRIG spokesman. SPRIG is stressing its voluntary aspects, ifstudents don't want to pay their dollar they will not be required to support it. WashPIRG will allowstudents a refund within five days if the student so desires. "We aren't against the concept of a publicinterest research group, because that is what we are. "It is just that our research indicates that it wouldnot be in the students' best interests to have to pay the fees to WashPIRG and then have to go throughred tape to get their money back if they wanted it," said YAF member Bonnie Good: "If SPRIG gets adollar from 15,000 students we will know that we have support." I Also at UW a debate was scheduledbetween the | Committee Against Student Exploitation and WashPIRG to l debate the question of acompulsory fee to support a | voluntary organization. Shannon Point marine lab becomes reality ByJACKIE LAWSON After years of research and planning, the Shannon Point Marine Center has finallybecome a reality. Financed by the state legislature, the marine center WiL be located on a 70-acre sitein Anacortes, as a service to Western students interested in studying marine life in depth. According toDavid Schneider of the biology department, College President Charles Flora has, for years, had thedream of developing a marine facility, to utilize the marine habitat located near Western. In the mid-60's,the state legislature authorized the college to obtain a site for the marine lab. Lummi Island was DAVIDSCHNEIDER considered, however problems arose concerning land acquisition. The present site, located west of the Anacortes ferry terminal, is ideal for the lab, according to Schneider. It contains nearly 3,000 feet of shoreline, a natural freshwater pond, and mature forest land. "It is a great site for teachinggeneral ecology, as well as for conducting extensive research. Huxley College will probably utilize thearea as well," Schneider said. More than half the site has been purchased, with the other half leasedwith an option to buy. The legislature granted $375,000 as a net amount, which is to be spent on building the structures and for site development. This does not include purchasing equipment. "We figure thesite development will cost in the vicinity of $82,000, which is just to build a gravel road into the site andlay the utilities. This leaves $288,000 for building structures," Schneider explained. The Board ofTrustees has approved the schematic phase of planning, and the next step is for the architect to drawdetailed plans of the buildings, which the Trustees must approve before the contract can be opened forbids. There is currently no money budgeted for lab equipment, however a director of the center has been appointed. William Summers, who has a part-time appointment to Huxley College, will be the marine lab director, and will attempt to obtain further funding from the state. Following completion of the facility,students will be urged to move to Anacortes for an entire quarter and take nothing but marine science.There will ' b e three departments involved in- the program: biology, geology, and psychology. Althoughthe courses offered will be primarily for majors in the three areas, other interested students will beencouraged to come to Anacortes, view the facility, and take several classes. The marine lab facility willbe for all state colleges and several community colleges. Skagit Valley Community College and EverettCommunity College have expressed an interest in lab research. "It should be a very flexible program.We want to offer block programs, so we can be flexible in scheduling classes and field trips," Schneidersaid. F u t u r e plans include a dormitory-type structure so students could eventually live on the siteinstead of in Anacortes, as will be done during the early stages of the program. There is presently nofunding for dorms, however ij will be one of the first -'priorities' following completion -ofMSi'e' basicstructures. Additional future concerns center around a conference complex, which would accommodateclasses from other schools. It would include overnight facilities, eating facilities and lecture halls. Otherstate colleges may join together to seek additional funding for this complex. Also included in long-rangeplans is a visitor center, involving displays of marine organisms and a riving museum. Tentativecompletion date is set for summer, 1973. This is completion only of site development and the lab. "Wefeel pretty realistic about hitting that deadline. It is conceivable that by late spring of this year we can put the project up for bids," Schneider said. The Shannon Point center will place an entirely differentemphasis on marine biology than does the University of Washington. Shannon Point will be gearedtoward undergraduate studies,: rather than graduate research.*. . . ;,.,OJJJÂ», ---------- Western Front - 1971 November 19 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Friday, November 19, 1971 Bombing escalates as troop withdrawal continues. Ffr/vâ€”News Item V V ^ * * V V ( S ^ Â° ^ 'Relax... the war's almost over.' Mouth and money WashPI RGrequires students to put their money where their mouths are. If they favor consumer protection andenvironmental preservation they're going to have to pay for it. But the way WashPI RG is established italso requires students who don't favor the organization to donate a dollar. Before signing the WashPI RGpetition it would be good to keep this in mind. Don't be rushed into supporting an organization you knowlittle or nothing about. And consider that while you're signing the petition you may also be forcing otherstudents to abide by the additional dollar each quarter. It's easy to scrawl your name on a card or listnow, but you and the rest of the students may end up paying that dollar and it's very likely that manystudents won't reclaim the dollar because it won't seem worth the trouble. That's probably why WashPIRG has chosen its particular approach to gain student support. â€”Ron Graham Work experienceneeded A cooperative education program, which would allow students up to 30 credits for workexperience in lieu of classroom training has been presented to the Academic Council for consideration.The proposed program was designed by a studentâ€”faculty task force under the premise that certainsetting, social groupings and work practices cannot be duplicated in a classroom situation. We stronglyagree with the concepts of this proposed program. Of the many academic departments and programs atWestern, only a few, such as the education and political science departments and the journalismprogram, have an internship type learning situation for their students. How important can an internshipbe? A survey conducted last May by the education department showed that potential teacher employers rated a thorough and varied student teaching background as the most important qualification for a newteacher. Excellent grades in the academic concentration and excellent grades in education foundationcourses rated tenth and thirteenth as qualifications. In the journalism program we have students returnafter their summer internships talking about the "real newspaper world," where they learned more aboutjournalism in three months than they had in three years at Western. This is not meant as a slight to thejournalism program at Western. It is an excellent one. But in many areas, classroom learning has to becomplemented by practical work experience to give students the well-rounded education, and we meaneducation in the broadest sense of the word, that they will need after college. Hopefully, when thecooperative education proposal comes up before the Academic Council next week, they will realize howimportant this program is and take the appropriate action to institute it. â€”Pat Brennen WESTERNFRONT STAFF EDITOR: Ron Graham MANAGING EDITOR: Pat Brennen ASSOCIATE EDITOR: BobTaylor COPY EDITOR: Howard Scott SPORTS EDITOR: Kent Sherwood PHOTO EDITOR: Jim Thomson PHOTOGRAPHER: Ken Ritchie EXCHANGE EDITOR: Bob McLauchlan STAFF REPORTERS KernAkers James Batty, John Brewington, Jim Brooks, Stephany Bruell, Russ Cravens, Bill Dietrich, JayEckert, Walt Endicott, Steve Garvey, Sue Gawrys, Jeff Hadlock, Heidi Henken, Pam Hicks, Carolyn Hill,Jan Hoesly, Mickey Hull, O.

By Russ Cravens The move to rid the Western campus of security officers and police and establish aUtopia on the hill was not a sudden happening. For years individuals and groups advocated such things as "ripping off the pigs," and suggesting that the existence of these "law enforcers" only contributed to theatmosphere of crime on campus. However, these plans to advance society and decrease crime byeliminating law officers had gone unheeded until last week when a campus incident brought the situationto a climax. The particulars of the incident go something like this: A student contacted the security office claiming that as he was walking across campus he saw his bicycle which had been stolen about amonth earlier. A security officer responded to the complaint and took up a stake-out position, submerginghimself in one of the puddles on red square, to watch the bicycle. Some time later a student walked up to the bicycle and unlocked the chain whereupon the officer surfaced and began questioning the student.Several other students gathered to watch the officer, armed with his Matt Mattel detective kit, and thestudent talk. The crowd, growing continually, had watched the student unlock the chain on the .bike,which proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the bike was his, and consequently began to suspect theofficer was harassing the student. In response to what they saw as "police brutality" the group beganharassing the officer, throwing in comments such as "don't you pigs have anything better to do thanhassle students?" A terrible thing to say to someone who just spent an hour and twenty minutesunderwater breathing through a bamboo tube. Finally, in an effort to continue his investigation, the officerushered the student into a waiting squad car and they drove off. Rumors spread like wild fire, andstudents became concerned. Some students picketed the security office and as time passeddemonstrators worried and wondered what had happened to the student. After all, the officer had takenhim away hours ago and he had not emerged from the security office. The image of the security officersinterrogating, indeed torturing, the student behind the closed doors of the security office grew in theminds of the crowd. Students gathered in Red Square and demanded an end to the police state and thelocal constabulary entirely. The clincher came when it was discovered that the student picked up by thepolice had not stolen the bike, but was a victim himself. Student leaders wanted heads to roll. Fearing ariot unequalled in the nation's history, the college president appeared before the seething mass. "Myfellow Americans," he said, putting his best foot forward-which didn't say much for his other foot. Anyway,he announced the college would bow to the demands of the students and all security personnel, two finkjanitors and a fifth quarter freshman who ran around wearing a Dick Tracy wrist watch would behenceforth banned from campus. A cheer echoed through the class buildings surrounding the square,and students who had anticipated a real struggle reluctantly turned away and took their water balloonshome. Well, last Monday classes continued as usual and the student who had been picked up by thecampus police was in the front row of his political science class apparently unscathed. (The officer hadbelieved his innocence and had escorted him home from the scene. The student had started back tocampus but heard the commotion of the demonstration and spent the next day and a half under his bed.)The change around campus has been like a breath of fresh air. Euphoria unknown since the repeal ofprohibition has settled over the campus and some observers believe we are truly on the road to Utopia.Most of us students feel much safer knowing the police will not break into our rooms at some wee hour ofthe morning or abduct us from our classroom. Certainly everyone can agree that this is a step in (^ cL.Ko t C â€” W5vn \^L ywÂ«- A-0 lt;r Â£ n lt;LUÂ« lt;Li v\c^ -VUAb' Â£.o!u-mrv \ K \ovvqKawcV., U**-i lt;^ gt;o'meoh*. dLv- lt;-*ss^d_ l i k e . -Vk.c L o K - t Ixcivuscr (w-sr v i lt;f gt;"v gt;e-l- eÂ£f VY\ lt;^ Klipsun changes format You'll love it or hate it, but you certainly won't feel neutral about it.

The plight of our environment is one such matter. Asdata continues to indicate the automobile's "overwhelming responsibility for air pollution, it is hoped thatthe college community would (1) attempt to reduce and limit its use of motor vehicles; (2) cease tosacrifice naturally wooded or sensibly landscaped areas for more unnecessary parking lots (it has beenpointed out that, essentially, the college provides storage space for cars used only on weekends); and(3) preserve and enjoy (in walking, running, bicycling) a pleasant atmosphere in Bellingham. Hence, Imake the following recommendation to Campus Security and the Campus Parking Committee startingwinter quarter: no campus parking permit shall be issued to any student, faculty member oradministrator unless: 1. he or she lives more than one mile from the campus, perimeter 2. his or heremployment specifically requires use of a motor vehicle, e x t e n u a t i n g personal c i r c u m s t a nc e s (e.g., physical handicapp) necessitate use of a motor vehicle. addition, it might be proposed thateach vehicle be t e s t e d by c a m p us a u t o m o b i l e - e m i s s i o n and 3.

Linda Louise Jensen Fairhaven College Encourages NAFSA Editor: Events on the Western campus during the week ofprotest against Amchitka tended to center around the choice between peace or war; peace or war withour natural resources, with our environment, and with people all over the world. One might ask how theInternational Students' Club is related to this choice. The answer to such question is very well coveredby the role of international students in National Association For Foreign Students Affairs (NAFSA).NAFSA's main objective can be summarized as an attempt to develop and sustain a favorablecooperative attitude among students of all nationalities, a peaceful approach towards world problems.This was very well illustrated as Western attempted to get international support of Canadian students inmobilizing against the Amchitka blast. The same thing can be said about international studentmobilization against wars, civil tyranny and class oppression. NAFSA feels that the world's value system can be changed over time through the willing cooperation of international students who eventually willbecome the policy makers of their respective nations. Greater student cooperation was the topicexpressed in a NAFSA regional conference w h i c h I a t t e n d e d in Mennucha-Corbett, Oregon, from October 28-31. In this conference I became convinced more than ever that simulation and diplomaticprotocol are not going to produce in us the kind of trust that is necessary to change the internationalvalue system. Let's tell it like it is if we want to achieve better international relations. I mean articulationof our feelings about each other and creating a forum for international dialogue or rap discussion.Questions like: Why don't they study in their own countries? When will they ever go home? Hasn'tAmerica got enough of its own problems? can form interesting topics in International Students' Cub. Our club with NAFSA is trying to help American trained elites better understand American foreign policieswhen they return to their respective countries and not to merely s condemn them because of their faulty image of America. NAFSA has developed programs for Americans studying abroad: Research andSurvey Section, F i e l d Service Steering, Community Action, Inter-ethnic Section, and a whole lot ofthings tied up with humanity. We want to make a region, one of NAFSA, which comprises Washington,Alaska, Northern Idaho, and Oregon, a model for eleven other regions. Why not broaden- your outlookfrom provincial to international by joining the International Students' Club. If you need more informationcontact James Inyang, Ext. 3032, or 733-1616.

Barnhart opinion needs clarification Editor: Your front-page article in Tuesday's Western Front on the Senate identifies Dr. Mike B a r n h a r t as " F l o r a 's administrative assistant," but it fails tomake clear his relation to the Senate. This may have the unfortunate effect of leading your readers tobelieve that Dr. Barnhart's statements about the Senate have some constitutional or legal significance.They do not. They are ' statements of private opinion. What disturbs me most is Dr. Barnhart's opinionthat the Senate ". . . shouldn't have to deliberate for two hours on one item . . . that any item requiringmore than an hour's deliberation should be sent back to committee . . . ." It is my opinion that thisopinion, as printed, is both simplistic and p r e s u m p t u o u s . Simplistic because it is a notoriousfact that the confining of long-term discussion to committees can be a handy anti-democratic device forthose who might wish to manipulate a legislative body. Presumptuous because any limitation on debateis a matter for the Senate to decide. Brian P. Copenhaver general studies department Senator, SocialSciences_ Approves of anti-dog signs Editor: Last week as I left the VU, I overheard a student remarkthat this "used to be a free country." His remark was in reference to the signs which direct that animals(i.e. dogs) are not allowed in the building. The great desire of the students to care for something orsomeone, or to have said care for them, seems to have resulted in a reasoning deficiency. Mosthousehold pets carry some form of pestâ€”namely fleas. The custodians at Western are not animalhaters. But you would not enjoy being bitten by fleas every day you were trying to do your job. Theirreactions to dogs is not punitive, but protective of both students and themselves. The next time you feelsorry for some poor cold dog who wants to enter "The Wonderful World of Western" . . . THINK FLEAS. D. A. Miller Former Custodian WashPIRG refund considered positive Editor: While appreciating thecomments of Jack LeMoine's letter in Tuesday's Western Front, I feel that he is missing an importantphase of the refundable dollar. A positive aspect of the refundable dollar is that it will provide WashPIRG with a desirable negative input. The expression of diverse opinions often offers a chance for new ideasand improvements. If the people wishing a refund would volunteer their ideas they would help WashPIRGmove in a direction more acceptable to our community.

Western's Legal Aids provides free legal information and isoften a life-saver for students in a bind who can't afford a lawyer. Legal Aids has direct contact with locallawyers, and can refer students to the attorney best qualified to handle a particular case. "If a studentreally needs a lawyer, we'll strongly advise it," said Joe McConkey, one of Legal Aids' coordinators. Ifstudents are in any kind of trouble, or have a question regarding some matter, Legal Aids will inform them on the course of action that should be taken. Legal Aids can also give students an idea how a certainjudge will react to a particular issue, and familiarize an individual with all the hassles of court processing. According to McConkey, most cases handled by Legal Aids are misdemeanors, but "we get everything." Shoplifting,, possession of alcohol, drug-busts, contract disputes, divorces, and housing hassles are just a few examples. As now established, Western's Legal Aids has been running for 11 months, andreceives its funds from the student body. Legal Aids is managed on a volunteer basis. The Legal Aidsoffice is located in VU 217, and services are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Students seekingadvice can call the Crisis Clinic at 734-7271, and ask for Legal Aids, or call the VU office at 676-3450. m CttWUM- WtSTtRN s t f ISR Wif/flt/it/iiii,, IP JR# / M I Â£ l i i i i i i i i VMS?

Through the carefulapplication of psychological principles, hard work and thirsty rats, they can teach those miniatureminions of manly munificence the fine art of playing basketball." And quite well, one might add. Imagine,if you will, Big Lew, a rat of decidedly diminutive proportions compared to the original bearer of thatappellation. Bedecked in a blue jersey with a white "W", for obvious symbolic reasons, emblazoned onthe back, he carries a plastic practice golf ball down the court, raises himself on his hind legs and dunks the ball through an orange juice can with a relish that only a similarly thirsty rat about to be rewardedwith water would appreciate. Now imagine another rat, female, but not the least bit superficially inferior,who has been accursed with a red jersey bearing the letter "C", likewise chosen for its symbolism.Unable to withstand the ruthless competition of her foe, she crouches in a corner, gone helplesslyneurotic. Big Lew is the sole remaining basketball-playing rat in captivity in the basement of Miller Hall,and quite possibly the only one in the world. He and his opponent, who died, were the most recent pairof eight rats trained by Christopher Taylor's psychology class in motivation. How does one go aboutmaking these rodents stars of the maples? As Taylor wrote in his instructions to his students: "It is just a chance occurrence, a quirk of fate, a random combination of All-American genes? No! Ail-American rats don't just happenâ€”they are made, not born." "Sacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice is the only way: early tobed, early to rise, cut out wine, women and song, and watch that diet. The advantages of rat food andwater can't be over-emphasized." Now rats don't naturally have a great desire to pick up a ball and toss itthrough a hoop. They do, however, have a somewhat highly developed desire to drink water. The student-trainers deprived the rats of water and began to shape the rats behavior by rewarding those actions thatbrought a rat closer and closer to throwing a ball through a can. The rats had to learn to touch the ball tobe rewarded, then pick it up, carry it to the can, rise up on their hind legs and drop it through the hoop,before they would get any water. Necessity is the mother of more than invention; in two weeks of twoone-half hour training periods a day, the rats could get their water every time. Having determined how one would train an All-American, a haunting question remains: what would motivate a man to dream up aplan like this? "Skinner had pigeons that play ping-pong," said Taylor, "and I wondered what rats coulddo. I thought of teaching them chess with three or four pieces but decided on something athletic." Taylor used his idea in his motivation class for four quarters. "I wanted the students to observe animal behaviorand try to shape it," Taylor said. "We are very short on space, equipment and animals so this was sort of a cheap way of doing it." Athletic rats are not a novel idea, one California college holds a rat Olympicsevery year. Several schools train rats to climb ropes, broad and high jump and race there. Training therats was remarkably successful, Taylor said, considering how many different people were training eachrat. The rats were able to do everything their trainers wanted them to do, but then the trainers didn'texpect the rats to dribble. The rats may have surprised themselves. Once a rat had made a basket, itmade four or five more before they would take their water. One rat even developed a hook shot of sorts.ACTION tackles drugs, poverty, pollution By BILL DIETRICH University Year for ACTION is in action now with 443 volunteers from 11 schools throughout the country working with government agencies that dealwith problems such as crime, drug addiction, poverty, or pollution. Western produced They will work for ayear on the federally funded program. ACTION moves beyond past volunteer programs. For the first timeit enables students to receive college credit for their volunteer service. It joins the resources of both thecommunity and college. And it provides a new level of contact between the college and the people. "Thestudent is a mobilizer, not just rendering service," Drake said in an interview as he explained thestudents* jobs. "Theoretically the agency should be better off when the student leaves than when hecame." ' lt; The student is to organize the resources in the community to work on the project, not justwork on it himself. The work is hard. In addition to a 30 to 40 hour work week, a student is expected todo extensive studying. For his effort he can receive up to 45 credits for the year and a monthly stipend of $150 to $190. He pays for his tuition and living expenses with that money. Western students are working throughout Washington in 55 government agencies. They include mental health centers, probationcenters, crisis clinics, Indian reservations, environmental agencies, alcoholism centers, free schools, and communes. Six more colleges will join the national program in January. Western is looking foradditional student volunteers to begin work that month. Students in the program, should be upperdivision or graduate students who have been admitted to Western. Many of this year's group are transferstudents from community colleges. Financial need was one criteria in choosing which of the 200applicants would serve. Nearly half are enrolled in psychology or sociology-anthropology. The studentshad a choice in which agency they would be placed with. Nearly all were granted their first choice. At the beginning of the quarter, students were matched with their agency and worked there for three weeks tolearn how the agency operated and who had local-power. With these basic realities the students met atCamp Casey on Whidbey Island for a week to turn their original operating plan into something practical.Now they are on the job again. It costs the government about $6,000 for each student volunteer. Thiscovers his stipend, training, program administrative costs, and $2,500 to the college to cover itsadministrative costs. About 40 Western faculty are involved in the program to aid the student in theacademic side of his work. The money has so far come from VISTA and the Peace Corps. If the programis a success, direct federal funding is expected. Western was chosen over several elite schools for theprogram, including Harvard, Cornell, and Dartmouth. Drake explained that, "We picked ourselves." Drake hopes to see the program grow. It is a chance for Western to help both communities and its ownstudents. ... ---------- Western Front - 1971 November 19 - Page 7 ---------- Friday, November 19, 1971 Western Front 7 Photo by KEN RITCHIE Miller Hall hers, he said, would look through the basket beneath after dunking the ball to make sure I gone through and one reachedunderneath ulled it through after he had shot, le tale of the neurotic rat is a sad one. nee it takes two rats to have a game, one was d at random from each pair to be the Western the other to represent Central.All four rn rats learned to play.

Counselors facing backlog of problem By PAM HICKS Originally Western'scounseling center was intended to be a place for students to come with their frustrations and problems.Now the center is backed up with students who must wait a week, and possibly three to four weeks atthe end of the quarter, for an appointment. "What we are really set up for are everyday problems, notcrisis situations," Dr. Nugent, the head of the center said. The center is also involved in consultationswith residence halls, deans, student and faculty committees, health services and in placement andtraining within the psychology department. Training involves interns that work Photo by JIM THOMSONDespite apartment living trend FRANK NUGENT closely with the psychologists in counseling and clinical problems. Such training is "very unusual in the country," Dr. Nugent said. Modified encounter andtherapy groups are a part of the services offered at the center. "These group sessions are for studentswho have difficulty in their interaction with others," Dr. Nugent said. "Group therapy helps a student todevelop skills in working within a group effectively." Individualism is stressed within these groups whichinvolve 8 to 10 students. The center has started four groups this quarter. According to Dr. Nugentsomeone will see a student immediately if they "call and are desperate." Emergency cases are seen byan intake psychologist who determines the need of such a student. Students are referred to the clinicand sometimes to t h e hospital if they need medication and "cannot handle themselves and need further help," Dr. Nugent said. Four hours a week the counseling center holds psychiatric consultations with arepresentative from the Bellingham and Whatcom County Mental Health Services about such cases andothers. Students are referred to the clinic by residence hall directors and aides, the crisis clinic, one ofthe deans or by simply calling or stopping in. Students who think their problem is not urgent must waitfor an opening with a counselor, an intern or within a group session. "We are unhappy about this waiting list," Nugent said. Dr. Nugent stressed the need for more students to come in with such problems andalso the fact that all consultations are strictly confidential no matter who asks to see a student's file.Saga executive sees continuing need for service l Despite the recent trend toward student apartmentliving, Saga executive Vince Gallagher believes that there will always be a demand for some kind of acontract food service at Western. He discounts the idea of a student run co-op because the personnelturnover would be too great. Gallagher admitted that the trend towards apartments will, "Probably growbigger than it is now." But he pointed out that Saga is adjusting to the trend by opening a delicatessen in Buchanan towers, by baking bread to sell to apartment students, and by going to greater pains to please students, such as opening health food lines. "If we were bad, and did a lousy job and didn't give a shitabout the kidsâ€”we wouldn't be here," Gallagher said Saga Foods, the corporation that runs all the foodservices on campus (with the exception of the Fairhaven coffee shop and the vending machines) will bepaid $ 1.08 million this year by a housing contract to feed the Western students holding meal tickets.That figure is about a fifth of the Housing and Dining Committee's budget and about a, third of the revenue Housing and Dining receives from room and board payments. Saga's profit from the money varies fromyear to year. Limitations on profit taking are imposed by the college so that neither Saga nor any otherfood service can make too much profit. And as Saga is hired on a yearly contract it must performsatisfactorily to have its contract renewed by the Housing and Dining Committees. If Saga earns a profitgreater than eight per cent on the money it is paid, a third of the excess profit is fed back into housing. Ifit earns more than 11 per cent, two thirds of the money is fed back into housing. â€ž ' The menu thatstudents eat from is made up on a national basis by a staff of dieticians. All the colleges Saga serves eat from the same menu, but individual cafeterias are given great leeway in changing parts of the menu. Itmay also vary between co-ed and all-male or all-female schools, and with regional areas and preferences. The type of service given is determined by the contract. Western uses the cheaper cafeteria style ofserving. Some colleges choose family style with big bowls of food at each table. Others choose to havewaiters, as in a restaurant. The recently requested health food lines have proved popular, Gallagher said,, adding that health food costs Saga more and that all meal card holders are sharing the cost. "None ofthe changes we've made at Fairhaven are things we had to do," Gallagher commented. Saga has attimes been accused of throwing too much food away, but Gallagher sees the amount as very small incomparison to the number of meals served. Most left-overs are frozen for later use. Light House Mission,Inc., 504 West Holly, collects much of Saga's paper for recycling. The food service would also like torecycle its bottles and cans, but so far has been unable to. Huxley college had to turn Saga recyclingrequests away, Gallagher said, because the amount of garbage was too great. Many of Saga'semployees are students. Most earn the minimum wage of $1.60 an hour. The student managers earn$1.75 an hour and are given their meals free. Even Gallagher will admit that at times, Saga's farebecomes monotonous, saying "we get tired of serving it." ---------- Western Front - 1971 November 19 - Page 8 ---------- 8 Western Front Friday, November-19, 1971 CRISIS CLINIC 734- 7271 SKI GARIBALDI TRIP TOGARIBALDI-DEC. 29 THRU JAN. 2 LODGING-LIFTS-BREAKFAST LIVE BANDS-GIANT NEW YEARPARTY $68.00 676-4435 THERE WILL BE MORE TRIPS THIS SPRING WE MUST HAVE DEPOSITSAS SOON AS POSSIBLE $25 Blue Spruce Laundromat 1920 KING ST.

In a proposal submitted to the Academic CouncilTuesday by Sam Porter, a professor in the Technology Department, the students in the combineddepartments would design and build a product-so far not decided upon-for eventual Dubhc sale. Theclass, called Education Enterprise, will be offered next year for three quarters with six credits per quarter. Innovative Programs Committee, part of the Academic Council, approved $11,850 to cover the cost fortwo faculty members and to set up the program. Once the program is set up it will follow modernbusiness procedures, with the students starting from scratch. First, the students will conduct marketresearch to find out what product would be best suited to the area, then they will design and test theproduct, followed by a financial analysis of proposals and decide how to bring about manufacturing andselling it. Next, students will have to find an off-campus space and make a plant lay out. After that theywill have to get the equipment and materials needed. Finally, the operation will be put into use whenstudents do the packaging and delivering. The last steps in the class will be when students look thewhole thing over at the end of the third quarter and give the class an evaluation followed by a liquidation of assets, if any. In other council business, a proposal to fund Arts and Lectures symposiums wasapproved. This move was made to help take the load off Continuing Studies and other departments which have been sponsoring the symposiums in the past. Sinking tiles cause Sodden Valley in L-2 By KENRITCHIE Workmen from the Physical Plant have been searching for a clogged missing sewer around the north wall of Lecture Hall 2 for the past several days. Excavation began exactly where blueprintsshowed a four inch drain tile was supposed to be. Excavation had to continue in a southerly direction forabout seven feet before the drainline was found. This tile carries all of the roof rain runoff from lecturehalls 2, 3 and 4. Since the clay tile was laid ten years ago the peat soil around it has settled and brokenthe line in several places. Spokesmen in the Physical Plant office believed the barrier to pedestrian traffic would be removed by today. They are planning now to dig around the north and east side of the lecturehalls and lay a different line to remove the storm water which has caused some damage to the stage inLecture Hall 2. The spokesmen also noted that the line that was broken by settling ground was laid bythe Eiford Construction Co,of Bellingham, in 1961. Mr. Eiford is presently trying to dissuade the city ofBellingham from condemning property he owns for a sewage plant. An expert testifying for Mr. Eifordduring the condemnation proceedings said that the property at Post Point is composed of peat and itmight lead to severe settling problems if any construction takes place on it. ....... :;Â«sBsf?ill^^"â€¢"â€¢: Sewer searchers seek sinking sewer in soggy slop. Photo by KEN RITCHIE Handicappedstudents at Western helped by adaptation of buildings By STEVE GARVEY There is no written policy at Western on the recruitment and admission of handicapped students and special services for physicallyhandicapped students are very limited. Western is able to serve the increasing numbers of handicappedstudents. According to Mary Robinson, assistant dean of students, whose office handles the problems of handicapped students. As more of the facilities are adapted for use and others installed, the school canexpect more handicapped students as its-reputation becomes known. No one is sure about the exactnumber of handicapped students. Dean Robinson is aware of thirteen blind students, but there are nofigures on the semi-ambulatory handicapped. "We get many letters from the parents of handicappedstudents requesting information about buildings and facilities," she said. Western is complying with thestate codes that require all new and remodeled state buildings to conform to guidelines requiringbuildings to be safe and accessible to the blind, physically handicapped and elderly. . Those guidelinesinclude ramps, handrails, on-grade access, special bathrooms, widened entrances and if necessary,elevators. For blind students, getting to classes and around campus is not the major problem; manycome to Western a few weeks before the fall quarter and learn their way around. The school does notprovide any guides for the blind but would arrange for help if a student needed it. Several years ago, araised dot guide was begun, but new construction made it obsolete before it was completed. Of moreconcern to the blind student is how to study A room has been set aside in the Viking Union for their use.It has a tape recorder donated by the Northwest Foundation for the Blind and a record player. A brailletypewriter is available from the Foundation if Western requests it. Books, tapes and records can beordered through Seattle. . Blind students often employ their own tutors and readers through the stateVocational Rehabilitation program. Faculty wives and community women contribute-time to read to heblind also. Any student who needs and wants instruction in swimming or special exercises, can contactthe PE Department for individual assistance. "We are aware of things that have to be done, said BobAegerter, campus architect. "We are moving to a decision as to which are more important: lighting,ramps on curbs or repairs in (ji/|p WJ1 IKS "These projects will help more than just the handicapped.You really can't divide the benefit for life-safety, bicycles or the handicapped. One improvement plannedfor the immediate future is a ramp to the first floor of College Hall where the speech and hearing facilitiesare located. Long range planning takes into consideration the handicapped students that.may have touse the south campus when it is developed. Ramps and elevators have been included to provide thehandicapped access to the new section. ---------- Western Front - 1971 November 19 - Page 9 ---------- Friday, November 19, 1971 Western Front 9 Amendments to draft law effective soon By JOHNBREWINGTON Changes in the Selective Service System are expected to become effective in earlyDecember. The changes will supplement amendments to the Selective Service Act recently signed intolaw by the President. The major change affecting Western students is in II-S deferments. Undergraduate students not enrolled on a full-time basis or not making satisfactory progress toward a baccalaureatedegree during the regular 1970-71 academic year will not qualify for II-S deferments. The regulations willalso set similar criteria for students in junior colleges, trade and technical schools, and apprenticeshipprograms. A new classification, I-H, has been established as an administrative holding category. Men in this category will not be considered for induction unless r e c l a s s i f i e d I-A. The classificationpertains to those men above the lottery cut-off number who will be placed in and remain in I-H for theirperiod of prime exposure to the draft. The long list of changes basically includes: -changing of thestudent deferment regulations. -exemptions for divinity students until 35 years of age except for thosestudents not entering the ministry and not pursuing full time instruction. â€”a uniform national call sothat men with the same lottery number will be called at the same time. â€”a classification of IV-G during peacetime for surviving and sole surviving sons. â€”changes in the personal a p p e a r a n c eregulations pertaining to time allowed, w i t n e s s e s , and written statements to the board. â€”thirtydays notice, instead of ten, to appear for induction. - a change in the registration procedure to allow 30days before and after the 18th birthday of a man to register. â€”abolition of classification I-Y for re-examination. â€”a change from 30 to 15 days to request a personal appearance and/or appeal. -abolition of classification V-A for those no longer subject to military service and inactivation of thosepertinent files. -abolition of Government Appeals Agents. â€”making possession of a draft card nolonger mandatory after military service, with certain exceptions. - a change so that veterans will berequired to register with their local boards after active duty only if they had not registered prior to entry or active duty in the military. - a change in immigrant and non-immigrant requirements for military service. -changes in age requirements for appointments and service on the local and appeals boards (aminimum age of 18 to 30 years for appointment, a limit of 20 years service, and a maximum age limit of65 years.) More information on these changes' may be obtained either from local Selective Serviceboards or from Draft Counseling in VU218. CampUS briefS China and the UN discussion Have yourappointment? According to the registrar's office a large number of students have not picked up theiradvance registration appointments. "We are really getting concerned about the problem we would face if2,000 students failed to keep their advance registration appointments," Registrar William O'Neil said. This year the advance registration appointments were not mailed to students due to mailing costs. Studentswho had not yet picked up their appointments were asked to do so immediately. Grant-in-aid available A$750 grant-in-aid is available through Graduate Women in Science to any woman holding a degree from arecognized institute of higher learning. She must demonstrate high ability-and promise in research in oneof the mathematical, physical, or biological sciences. The grant, which may not exceed one year, can be applied either directly to research or to course work relevant to the research program. Although there isno discrimination because of race, nationality, creed, or marital status, special consideration will be givento applicants 35 years of age or older. Further information and application forms can be obtained from Sr. Mary O'Rourke, Ph.D., Saint Mary College, Leavenworth, Kansas, 66048. Applications and credentialsare due Feb. 1, 1972, and award announcements will be made by April. Parents voted tax relief By avote of 56 to 27 the U.S. Senate passed a bill last Monday to grant tax relief to parents of collegestudents. The bill would permit parents with income below $25,000 a year to subtract from taxes owedthe government $325 for each dependent child they send to college or trade school. The vote on the billcame only minutes after the defeat of a â€¢proposed tax relief for people who live at or below the povertylevel. Opponents, led by Sen. Russell gt;B. Long, D-La., said the plan represented a subsidy fromtaxpayers too poor to send their children to college for those wealthy enough to do so. Others arguedcolleges would only raise their tuition, leaving parents no better off than before.

The purpose of the center, the only one in the Pacific Northwest, is the acquisition and organization of materials for an integrated study of the region. The center, directly responsible to the dean of Western, was created in June by Western's administration. The center will be housed in the new wing of the Wilson Library. Two local historicalcollections, those of Galen Biery and the late Percival Jeffcott, form the nucleus of a research archives.A series of taped interviews covering Sen. Warren Magnusson's early political career was presented tothe center by KVOS TV. The center has also acquired copies of tapes on the Indian settlement ofWashington and British Columbia recorded by the late Oliver Wells of Chilliwack, B.C. The center alsoexpects to acquire collections of Pacific Northwest transportation records, material on Point Robertsassembled Manfred Vernon of the political science department and local records compiled by the lateHoward Buswell. Two continuing projects have been initiated by the center. One project, under thedirection of Ronald DeLorme of the history department is an oral history dealing with various topics oflocal and regional history. The other project, coordinated by Scott with the help of Galen Biery, is avideo-tape program recording the history of selected industries and other activities of the PacificNorthwest. The center is now planning, as a long-term project, the compilation of a working inventory ofthe public records of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia. The center is administered by adirector, James Scott, of the geography department and an executive committee composed of membersof four social science departments and the Wilson Library. In addition to the faculty committee, anadvisory board comprised of interested persons is now being formed. State Sen. Frank Atwood, LudKramer, Secretary of State of Washington, and Stan Jeffcott, Whatcom County Commissioner, are a fewof those who have signified their willingness to serve on the board. Persons interested in using materialsin the collection or in contributing archival items should consult Scott in the geography department.Dean claims Western leading education field WILLIAM BULTMANN Western is one of a dozen or soinnovative colleges in the country, according to William A. Bultmann, dean of Western. Western's focuson undergraduate education and its readiness to experiment have put it years ahead of current trends inlarger institutions, Bultmann said. In an interview he made these points: â€”more can be done at asmaller college than at larger, more impersonal colleges and universities. - t h e staff, faculty andstudents interact more at Western than at most larger colleges. -interaction leads to a healthyexchange of ideas and methods between the different departments. â€”the creation of cluster collegessuch as Fairhaven, Huxley and the College of Ethnic Studies shows concern for relevancy. ALSO--SURPRISE SEATTLE 3ANDJJJ TICKETS AT PUGET SOUND $2 ADVANCE 2,50DOOR FESTIVALSEATING Bultmann said Western's Board of Trustees is not the stodgy politician type found at mostother colleges, but that it is receptive to ideas from students as well as from staff and faculty. Anotherfactor in establishing W e s t e r n ' s leadership as an undergraduate centered college has been asuccession of innovative college presidents that "have percolated ideas and concepts right on downthroughout the college," Bultmann said. When asked about such concepts as the new Evergreen StateCollege, Bultmann said that many of its ideas were taken from Fairhaven. "Evergreen is away from theorthodox and leans more toward individualized, student-designed programs and is refreshing to Westernbecause it keeps institutions like ours on our toes." Search for two continues The search continued this week for Danny L. ~Vaara, and Cathy Kristopherson, both Western students, missing and presumeddrowned in Lake Whatcom while canoeing on the lake early last week. Chuck Page, campus securityofficer, said that the Sheriff's Department is still on the case, while he has followed all available leads oncampus. Al Kristopherson, Miss K r i s t o p h e r s o n ' s father, expressed thanks to all students whovolunteered and worked ithe search. He gave special thanks to John L. Servais of Fairhaven, who spear-headed the student force when Page was working on campus.

AstroTurf By KENT SHERWOOD With possible national honors awaiting, Western'sfootball squad will journey to Vancouver, B.C. tomorrow night for their final scheduled game of the year,with Simon Fraser University. The game will be played on the AstroTurf field of Empire Stadium on theExposition fair grounds in Vancouver. Western, with a 7-2 season record and the Evergreen Conferencechampionship already in hand, has a slight chance of post-season play if the Viks can leave theCanadian city with win number eight. The Vikings could be under consideration as one of the NAIA's toptwo Western United States teams to compete in the NAIA tournament. Two teams from west of theMississippi River will meet early in December, while two teams from east of the river will also meet. Thetwo winners will then meet for the national title. "We have not been contacted as yet," said William A.Tomaras, chairman of men's physical education and Western athletic director. "But it would be a greatthing." On whether or not Western would send the gridders if chosen, Tomaras said he "thinks we would, as the gate receipts for the game would probably pay the expenses and we might even be able to profitfrom such a game." But before the Viks can even think of post-season play, they must defeat a strongClansman team from SFU. Simon Fraser is 5-3 for the year and ranked fourth in the Northwest. Westernis rated number two behind Puget Sound. The Clan has beaten Western for the last two years, with lastseason's game being a 7-0 cliffhanging SFU win at Civic Stadium. Simon Fraser is led by quarterbackDave Syme. Syme is an able field general who is a definite offensive- threat whether he is throwing orrunning. Syme ranked 26th in the national NAIA statistics in total offense. He has also led his team to a16th position in team total offense. The Vikings rank 28th. Syme's favorite receivers are Bill MacGregor,Ross Clarkson and Glen Colwill. Colwill is also an adept ball carrier and joins with backs Jerry Simon and Lenier Haysbert to form a potent Clan running attack. SFU wins have been over Pacific (36-7), GreatFalls (34-14), Southern Oregon (21-14), Whitman (38-12) and the semi-pro Everett Ramblers (59-0).Losses have been suffered at the hands of Portland State (21-3), Oregon College (38-0) and Puget Sound (14-6). The Vikings will enter the game with their own statistical wonders. Tom Wigg is rated 16th in the NAIA in rushing, while leading Evco in both rushing and scoring. Besides the total offense mark, theViks have the 13th best passing attack in the nation. Sophomore halfback Steve Skogmo earned Evco"Back of the Week" honors for his effort in Western's 41-21 win over Whitworth. Skogmo gained 112yards in 14 carries. Quarterback Glenn Hadland moved up past Eastern Washington's Pete Glindeman in both passing and total offense categories. Tomorrow night's game will be the final game (if the NAIA bidfalls through) for 10 Viking seniors. They are Jeff Baglio, Rich Boyd, Dan Grimshaw, Hadland, IvorHoglund, Mike Knutsen, Marv Nelson, Mike Spane, Mark Venn and Lance Wilson. Kick-off time is slated for 8 p.m. ACLU sponsors art sale The Whatcom County chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union(ACLU) will hold a folk art sale tomorrow evening, beginning with a no-host cocktail hour.

Game time will be1:30 p.m. Wednesday evening in Seattle,.Western moved into a three-way tie for first-place when theViks battled tough Seattle U. (SU) to a 0-0 draw. The tie gave both Western and the Chieftains 16 points in the league tying the two teams with Seattle Pacific College. - Against SU the Viks found a tough,aggressive defensive team that allowed Western just 14 shots on goal the entire game. Western hadbeen averaging close to 20 shots a half going into the contest. Western's closest scoring threat camelate in the second-half. Bill Carr set up the play with a long throwin which bounced to Manfred Kuerstan.Kuerstan then booted a hard shot at the SU goal that just missed hitting the outside bar of the goal. Theball then ricocheted out to Greg Wesselius who booted another shot at the goal, but Wesselius's shotwent wide. While SU's defense played a strong game, Western's stoppers also performed well. Full-backs Pete Frey and Rod Belinski came up with big plays as did Carr and Donn James. Several times in the second-half Carr and James cut-off possible SU scores in front of the Western goal by clearing theball out to midfield. The Vik defense, which allowed the Chieftains 12 shots on goal, also receivedexcellent play from goalie Dan Gregory. Gregory, who got his third shut-out of the season, twice came up with clutch, game-saving plays in the contest's dying moments. Sailing offered Western students cango sailing on Bellingham Bay for free every Friday from 3 to 5:30 p.m. The Viking Yacht Club hasarranged to use three large sailboats, including a 27-foot Vega and a 45-foot Chesapeake Bay oysterboat according to Cathy Critchell, a member of the club. Warm clothing and tennis â€¢ shoes arerecommended for sailing on the bay since it gets cold and wet. Critchell also recommended that students bring something warm to drink. No sailing experience is necessary as there will be an experiencedskipper and partial crew on each boat. Interested students should sign up in Viking Union 304 (theOutdoor Program room) before Thursday night of each week so arrangements can be made. If theprogram is popular enough it might be continued for the rest of the year.

V S R 10 676-0770 We didit again! For the second time this season we went 0-4 in predicting Pacific Eight games, and to makematters even worse, Oregon Tech won. Well, if you thought things were bad last weekend then wait until tomorrow. Saturday is the day when the Pacific Eight arch-rivals meet and our chances of going OAaren't bad; but then again our chances of going 4-4 aren't too remote either. In a sense things are eveneasier this weekend, because we have a 50-50 chance. According to our bookmaker-in-residence, thePacific Eight outcomes should be like this: Washington over Washington State The Huskies get a verynarrow edge, Washington injuries could decide the contest. Oregon over Oregon State State's won thelast six encounters so the Ducks are overdue. Stanford over California The Indians will play better thanthey did against San Jose State. Southern California over UCLA The Trojans are hot but you can nevertell in this rivalry. Oregon Tech shattered its chances of having a perfect season (0-9) last Saturday whenthe Owls' upset St. Mary's. St. Mary's, now, just isn't any run-of-the-mill grid squad. St. Mary's is the best club football team in California. The win was the" biggest thing that has hit Tech this season since thesnow-storm two weeks ago. This weekend Tech will face stiffer competition when the Owls travel toCheney to meet Eastern Washington. In this weekend's key Evergreen Conference battle (that is if youdon't count the Oregon Tech-Eastern clash) Western takes on Simon Fraser. A Viking win could giveWestern the top spot among the Northwest small colleges. Evergreen Conference premonitions:Western over Simon Fraser The Clansmen have beaten Western the last two years but their luck runsout tomorrow. The Vikings are clearly the "best in the Northwest." Eastern Washington over Oregon Tech Tech's one game winning streak is snapped. Oregon College over Southern Oregon The red-hot Wolvesfinish with a win over Southern. Eastern Oregon over Whitworth Should be a close contest but Eastern'sdefense will prove decisive.

The chairmanship of the new department was offered to MargaretAitken, present head of women's P.E, by William Bultmann, dean of arts and sciences, following a pollof the P.E. department's faculty. Tomaras has been offered the position of athletic director of MargaretAitken the new department and in this new position would be directly responsible to Dean Bultmann. As of yesterday Tomaras had not yet accepted that job. Wednesday, Aitken told Tomaras that she hadaccepted the chairmanship of the new department. Regarding the post of athletic director Aitken said,"Bill, I am asking you not to do it." Tomaras believed this was a request for his resignation as athleticdirector, a position he has held since 1960. In an article in Thursday's Bellingham, Herald Tomarascharged that the administration was trying to force him out. "I was not about to let her or anybody elsejust walk in and take over my job," Tomaras said. "I don't mind not having the chairmanship, as I haveplenty to do just with the athletic program. "We have worked hard to obtain a program which putseducation above athletics and still keeps athletics high. "I feel we have been successful so far, despitemonetary problems and I refuse to stand back and let it go down William Bultmann the drain." Tomarascited to the Viking's Evergreen championship football and basketball teams as an indication of theprogram's success. Tomaras told the Bellingham Herald that he believed that the administration wastrying to dump him because of his outspoken objections to a plan last spring to drop intercollegiatesports. "President Flora thought I overreacted last spring and opened my mouth too much. "We neededto save the program and I felt that was my job. "She (Aitken) has never shown any interest in ourathletic program." Commenting on the overall program, Aitken said that if changes were to be made,they would be for the better. "Nobody is trying to get rid of athletics; no one has ever mentioned it. We'll continue to have athletics," she said. She said that there hasn't been enough interchange between themen's and women's physical education departments. "There is a need for more men to have womenteachers, and women to have men teachers. "We, in women's physical education, think we have a good program," she said. Dean Bultmann had praise for both Tomaras and Aitken. He said he is verypleased with the outstanding work Aitken has done on the academic side of physical education."Academic innovation is perhaps an over-used term, but it certainly applies in her case," he â€¢ said."Tomaras has done a very good job in athletics," he also said. "He has been way under-funded, but hasgone out and gotten very good athletes to represent Western." Bultmann said that the new setup for the physical education department will attempt to take the strong points of both Aitken and Tomaras anduse them for the best advantage of Western. William Tomaras 'Turn in a pusher' Sundquist offers reward program Tod Sundquist will pay you to turn in a pusher. Sundquist, AS president, announced lastWednesday that his office has set up a reward fund to pay anonymous informers on the conviction ofheroin pushers. The details of the program, how much to pay, reward procedures and amount of herointhat has to be involved have not been worked out. P a t r i c k Davis, AS non-academic coordinator, isworking with the Bellingham chief of police and the Whatcom County sheriff to set up the program.Details are expected in about a week. The program, modeled after Tampa, Fla., TIP (Turn in a Pusher),deals exclusively with heroin. "It's better to institute a preventative program than wait until a remedialprogram is needed," Sundquist said. "I don't think there can be any question that people want topreclude the entry of heroin into the area." He expects not only students but others in the community torespond. "I wouldn't say that we have a lot of heroin in the area," Cecil B. Klein, Bellingham chief ofpolice, said, "but if someone wanted to get it, they could buy it without any trouble. "There have been noarrests for use or pushing to speak of," he said. A source who wished to be anonymous said that therehave been two possible heroin overdoses in the area in the last month. The Tampa TIP program, whichdeals in hard drugs exclusively and assures absolute anonymity, received 5,000 calls that led to 39arrests in a nine month period. No arrests or warrants are Tod Sundquist ordered on the basis of a tip.Police use the information to try to make purchases. On conviction of a pusher, the anonymous informer collects his reward. Sundquist is opposed to including other drugs besides heroin in the program fortwo reasons. "First is that clearly heroin is the most dangerous drug I can think of," Sundquist said,"not only because it involves the sale and use of an illegal substance but because it is a crime thatbreeds crime. "Second, I think it's important for the success of the program that we don't spreadourselves too thin." Sundquist started the reward fund with $100 from his contingency fund. Davis willcontact area business and organizations for more funds. Klein said he was in favor of the program andhe hopes that it will work, "but I'd like to get it all laid out before it starts. I don't think anyone will want to give money until they see where it is going to go. "We haven't really got the program set up and we'restill working on the angles before we start to augment the reward fund. It's a Western project as far asgetting information. They are going to do the solicitation of funds." Klein hasn't received any commentsfrom the community yet. Sundquist who received comments, said, "Everyone seems enthusiastic. Thereaction of the students is positive." Sundquist said that the success of the program will depend on hissuccessor, but he is fairly sure it will continue. He will concentrate on building up the reward fund therest of this year. "If we let it fizzle, there's no doubt it will die," he added. He did not agree that theprogram could cause a feeling of distrust on campus. " I 'm not sure you're encountering that type ofsituation," he said. "As I see it, sellers of heroin are forcing this community to face a problem of a fairlycrucial nature, and I don't see it as a situation as you suggest. I've thought about this a lot." Bellingham. is not too small' for the program he said. "I'm not sure the size of the community is important. I'm notsure we're any less vulnerable to the heroin problem than anyone else." The source of the report on thelocal heroin overdoses had similar feelings. " T h e drug scene in Bellingham is relatively cool, and wedon't want to repeat the d i s a s t e r in Seattle and Vancouver or the classical example of Haight-Ashbury that in a three month period turned from a peace and joy center to a .mugging and murdercenter.Â» Black politician Julian Bond to speak here tonight Julian Bond, Black politician, will speak inCarver Gym at 8 o'clock tonight. Tickets for the 50 cents admission charge will be sold this afternoon at the Viking Union Information Desk and at the door, according to Program Commissioner LynnWienholtz. His appearance is being sponsored by the Program Commission. Bond, who is 32, gainednational recognition by being the first Black man nominated for the vice-presidency of the United States.This occurred at the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago. Bond's involvement with politics and civilrights began when he founded the Committee on Appeal for Human Rights, a student organizationoriginating from Atlanta University which coordinated three years of anti-discrimination protests inAtlanta in 1960. He served as its executive secretary for three months. Bond also helped found the S t u d e n t N o n v i o l e nt C o o r d i n a t i n g Committee (SNCC) in April 1960. In 1965, Bond waselected to a new seat created by reapportionment in the Georgia House of Representatives. He wasprevented from taking office in January 1966 because of l e g i s l a t i v e members who objected to hisstatements about the Vietnam War. He won a second election in February 1966, to fill his vacant seat,but a special House committee voted not to seat him once more. After winning a third election inNovember 1966, Bond took his place in the Georgia House, only after the United States Supreme Courtunanimously ruled that the Georgia House erred in refusing to seat him. Bond is a member of theexecutive committee of the Atlanta National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,advisory board of the proposed Martin Luther King, J r . Memorial Library and S o u t h e r nCorrespondents Reporting Racial Equality Wars. He is also an honorary member of Phi Kappa LiterarySociety of the University of Georgia at Athens, Ga., research associate of the Voter Education Project of the Southern Regional C o u n c i l and the first co-chairman of the National Conference for NewPolitics. Bond has been described as the leader of a new Democratic coalition, a militant activist, not re v o l u t i o n a r y but a representative of Blacks that are influencing the nation through the system. ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 4 - Page 2 ---------- 2 Western F ron t Tuesday; Apr i l 4, 1972 On the home front Front editorials... The circus is coming totown In this, an election year, we as college students are being urged to participate in our electoralprocess. County convention delegates have been selected in Whatcom County, political candidatessurrounded by a melee of campaign supporters are invading campuses, and the newspapers arepermeated with the conflicts of national political figures throughout the nation, all bidding for nomination.The 18-year-olds are now forgetting the traumas of high school in order to thrust themselves into thepolitical circus, while the aged are being indoctrinated across the country with supercilious promises ofimproved benefits, adequate pensions and returned self-esteem in the society. Has anyone stopped short in their tracks in an attempt to evaluate the mere worth of the American political system? Is it, in fact, anequitable system? The press is revealing that skepticism, cynicism and mistrust are prevalent in theminds and hearts of Americans. Richard Nixon is coming on strong; flitting to China, reducing the draftcall and announcing that prosperity will befall our economically obliterated society. The socialist workersparty is again advocating the idealist's dream: antiwar movements, women's liberation, movements foroppressed nationalities such as prisoners, gays and even young students. For the first time Blacks heldan independent convention in Gary, Ind. which was reported by the media to be disorganized andineffective. Legislation approved included denouncing the state of Israel, and demands tor set incomes.What with all the political propaganda enveloping America, it is, indeed, almost totally impossible to delvethrough the shallow rhetoric, empty promises, and gleeful optimism to the truth. The truth, unfortunately,rises to the surface of the political quagmire in the form ot a paradoxical fact. The political system and itspromises of a democratic society for all, including Blacks, the aged, gays, women, high school studentsand the working man, is an empty shell, coated with optimism, half truths, injustice and infantile politicalmaneuvers. I really don't think I care to vote this year. It's not that I'm undemocratic or unAmerican. It'sjust that I am the kind of individual that feels every human being has a moral responsibility to every otherhuman being. My idea of morality just doesn't happen to fall anywhere near the political circus that iscoming to town.

Editorial opinions arethose of the Unfortunately you can go home again It was Time, Life, Newsweek, Redbook, GoodHousekeeping and-most of all-Reader's Digest's fault that Irving Bingo had a lousy spring vacation. It wasthe mass media which taught Irving's parents words such as smack, H, horse, junk, pot, grass, weed,uppers and downers, reds, blues, rainbows, snort, sniff and mainlining. The mass media taught them towatch their sons and daughters for things as running noses, weight loss and beady red eyes. And it wasthe mass media which taught them the real meaning of paranoia. Irving came back to school on Tuesdayand his, nose was still running, his ribs were showing and his eyes were just as red as when he leftschool. Small wonder after he told us about his week vacation. Irving started his story with a littleillustration, something we always enjoyed about Irving's stories. "You remember those VD movies theyused to show us in high school?" he asked. "The ones where they said if you had a pimple you had tohave the clap and your nose would, fall off in a week. And everybody in high school had pimples andthought they had VD, and went around trying to figure out some way to see a doctor without their parents knowing. "I used to go down to the doctor about once a week and say 'How about a shot of penicillin just for the hell of it?' and then when the pimples went away I thought for sure my nose was going to fall andI'd go insane in a week." We all said we remembered those movies in the health classes; ones called"The Price Of Love" which listed all the signs of VD and left the whole class thinking they had a dose.Even the students who never went out thought they caught a dose off a toilet seat. Mass paranoia ranthrough the school for weeks after one of those movies. "Well, the same thing is happening to myparents," Irving said. "They've been snowed into thinking every college student is an addict of some kind.They've got thousands of articles on how to tell if their kid is on smack, complete with lists of the signs.Last year it wasn't so bad, but now the articles are ending with things like: This happened to the boy next door. It could happen to your child!' "Okay, so my parents are all stirred up about the drug problem andthey know all the signs. And I got to go home on vacation." And we all knew what Irving looked like whenhe went home on vacation. Thanks to some advanced thinking on some non-student's part, Irvingmanaged to have four finals on the last day of school. Being the type of person Irving is, he didn't studyuntil the day before his finals and stayed up all night to cram. So he showed up at school with red eyes,a day-old beard and the clothes he slept in. As it was snowing during finals week and Irving had to walkthree miles to school he also had a touch of pneumonia. After his finals were over he went straight home. "I came stumbling up the walk, just about ready to collapse because of this cold and I didn't eat for acouple of days, and who's standing there but my mother," Irving said. "Naturally, my nose is running andthis didn't help the situation any. "The first thing Mom says is, "Why are you wearing a long sleeve shirt,Irving?' It must have been twenty degrees out and there was a foot'of snow on the ground. Then she says,'Are you trying to hide your arms for some reason? And why is your nose running? Why are you soskinny?' So I tell her I'm dying from a bad cold and haven't eaten in a few days, and if she didn't mindmaybe we could get in out of the snow. "So we go inside and there's this big dog sniffing at my suitcase, and my Mom asks what I have in my suitcase because this dog has been trained to smell out pot, I tellher it's my dirty laundry and I don't know why the stupid mutt was smelling my dirty shorts and socks."After shaking down my suitcase and finding nothing, Mom helps me out of my coat. 'Then she did astrange thing. She pulled my arms out straight and looked them over. 'Shooting under the tongue orbetween the toes,' she says. So we had a look under my tongue and between the toes for needle marks.Not finding anything she figures I must be 'snorting', as she put it, and I said sure, I was snorting but itwasn't heroin, just the usual junk that runs off your nose when you got a.cold. "After a while the old mancomes home and makes some comment about my hair and how they didn't wear it that long during theBig War. And then he asks about that weirdo I run around with who wears the headband." This wasHarold Stuffing who only wore the headband when Irving's father was around because he liked to see theold boy turn red and his veins pop out on his forehead. "A little later on they both shake me down and tell me about the kid next door who went to the funny farm after a bad trip and how they didn't want to see ithappen to me. But it was kind of funny, you know?" What was that, we asked. "They seemed kind ofdisappointed when they didn't find anything on me; like they weren't keeping up with the Joneses or ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 4 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday; April 4, 1972 Western Front Letters: Joneses have their rights Editor, Western Front With allthe minority groups protesting and forming groups to let the public know they are there, I would like toadd another discriminated minority to the list. The casual and abhorrent use of the name Jones isappalling to me and my constituents. Therefore, we propose to start a Jones Liberation Front to correctmisconceptions and blatant misuse of the sacred name Jones. Having only been a Jones for four shortyears, I can testify that I have repeatedly been forced to read textbooks, p a m p h l e t s and otherpublications that use the name Jones as examples. This is unfair. Why should the name of Jones be acommon household word like Ajax, Coca Cola, and others? We are human beings and as such asbeseech advertisers to desist from using the name Jones in selling or displaying just as a gimmick. The JLF is hoping to combine with other minorities such as the Smiths, Does and Wilsons of this country.This is a matter that has gone on far too long and we must fight it now. Power to the Jones. ArleneJones Portuguese Editor, Western Front: A short comment on the complaint (March 7, page 4) byseveral ethnic and women's organizations and Legal Aids that Portuguese is being funded whileJapanese and Chinese are not. It is not widely known that Portuguese, spoken by half the SouthAmerican continent, is offered by the department of foreign languages as an overload. By "overload" Imean in addition to the twelve-hour weekly teaching load required of our instructors by the statelegislature. No additional funding was provided for Portuguese., Walter L. Robinson ChairmanDepartment of Foreign Languages A final is a club Editor, Western Front: I am, to say the least,disappointed with the Academic Council and its decision regarding finals week. In no way did itsdeliberations take a constructive turn. Rather it resembled the recent state legislature which argued alot, and came up with very little. The council heard a number of arguments against both the old 1970-1system and the one used Fall-Winter quarter. Even so, it eventually ignored all those arguments when itgot around to voting. The Council actually appeared to make a decision based only on the desire to endthe argument and move on to other matters. Instead of trying to devise a s y s t em that was both a c ad e m i c a l l y and administratively sound (as did some students),- the Council resorted to conducting a popularity contest between two inherently flawed systems. It spent a long time gathering evidence, butdid not make any real attempt to.solicit new ideas on the handling of the 11th week. Rather it rehashedold arguments and in the end came up with an old and stale solution. So the fact remains (to whichmost members of the Council conceded) that the two hour block system for finals is fundamentally andunalterably a method for grading and ranking students, and is not a method for furthering their education. I would go further to say that finals are now used only as educational clubsâ€”not as educational tools.I don't care how many faculty swear up and down that they need two hour blocks to give students acomprehensive review of the quarter. Finals are Not used as teaching tools at this college. The very factthat only one in 100 faculty even allow time for the class to meet and discuss the final points out theregard they have for its educational value. Is there anyone who will dare call the Academic Council'saction on finals week a progressive one? I've yet to find one so foolish. Stan Cuykendall BSU protestEditor, Western Front: In response to Steven Whitford's letter to the editor of the Western Front, March3, 1972: Mr. Whitford has implied that the protest by the Black Student Union over the logo trademarkcartoon was non-relevant. The perspective exhibited by Whitford in doing so is a prime example of thedistortion in American education. His inability to understand why the logo cartoon, a derogatorystereotype of the black man, should be a "relevant issue" to the Black Student Union is an example ofthe shortcomings in Whitford's so-called education. The tragedy of such â€¢ d i s t o r t i o n s inWhitford's miseducation is that he is â€¢ involved in a field (psychology) which will bring him intocontact, directly or indirectly, with minority people, as a practitioner, educator or scholar. In the eventthat he goes into the field of scholarly research in the area of psychology, Mr. Whitford's sense of"relevance" will carry over into his. work, which is bound to influence others. In this respect, it isimportant that you, Mr. Whitford, see yourself as minority people in America see you, and others likeyourself; as an oppressor. Geronimo G. Tagatac,' Asian American Studies College of Ethnic StudiesHumans err, not computers Editor, Western Front: It is really discouraging and aggravating to watchthis paper make a mockery out of the intelligence of the people attending WWSC. Granted there arevery few people with an extra added bit of intellect roaming around, but the rest of us aren't completeidiots. I am referring to the paper's handling of the article in the Tues. March 7 issue of the WesternFront entitled "Computer Overbills Veterans $29." If you need to be reminded of this grossmisinterpretation, the first sentence of the article reads "because of a computer error." The computerwas not in error. A computer is a tool, an extremely powerful one, yes, but no more. It does only what it has been instructed to do, and no more. Saying "because of a computer error" is as bad as saying"because of hammer error," i.e. an error by the hammer (as if a hammer can make a mistake). Get thepoint? The sentence, to be almost correct and not absolutely wrong could have read "due to aprogramming error," which w o u l d have been more acceptable. Either the editor should become moreeducated in such matters as computers, or the writers of the articles involved should be more explicit intheir descriptions of what is going on around the college. Bob Chapman Computer Science major DialArt's ours Editor, Western Front: Last year when I was taking an art class, there was a great furor in the Art Department over creatorship of art work, (i.e. who is responsible for a particular piece of art). It. was argued, and I believe quite rightly so, that if a student was doing a printing or drawing or whatever, andhis teacher told him to change it in some way, didn't it become the teacher's piece of art? It is wellknown that Andy Warhol used to have other people build some'of his projects; subcontract them so tospeak, and yet he alone is lauded as sole creator of those artistic abominations. All of this is leading toone point: I submit to y o u t h e f o l l o w i ng hypothesis â€”George Bishop's "Dial Art" for the week ofMarch 1 through March 8 was in fact Douger and Rove's "Dial Art." I will back this theory by revealing the fact that Douger and I found the $5 at 12:00 a.m. on March 1. Because we did not tell Mr. Bishop thatwe had found it, he continued to play the "clues" on "Dial Art" for more than a week after the money had been found. Had Mr. Bishop been aware of our find, he would surely have changed the message of thelast week; thus we feel directly responsible for the message of the past week. Likewise, we feel equallyresponsible for the "Dial Art" article printed on page 5 in the Front on Tuesday, March 7. It was in ouropinion, done very nicely, and in good taste; just what we had in mind. Thank y o u Western Front forpublishing our latest piece of art. Robert L. Sordahl Douger S. Massey Obscene? Editor, WesternFront: The fuss over "obscenity" (or is it pornographyâ€”or love?) in K l i p s u n is sufficientlyamazingâ€”one is likely to dismiss the whole affair with the hope that the minds of those forced toinvestigate the charge have not been permanently damaged by what they found. But such complacentamazement may be dangerous: anybody can write the governor. And maybe a fair number of us aresmall time enough to be intimidated by the results. Then I obscenity in the sanka of all such milkingfellows: pream it up yer pots! But let's watch 'em, lest they cut off the funds needed to stimulate our dirty minds. W.C.

It's no fun to receive a cross-body block from a German Shepard while walking across Red Square.

Letters: Stores steal Editor, Western Front: Occasionally, Ihave a chance to see the Western Front, and suspect that some college students and college editors,like myself, are a little ticked at the severity which students and others are punished with for petty theftof minor food and merchandise items. Lift a 19c item at Ennen's or Yeager's, and you're good for 30days in the town jail and a few lines in the Herald. This is fine. Students, and others, shouldn't steal.However, we NEVER hear of a penalty for multiple petty thefts that occur many times daily in thosesame stores who are quickest to blow the whistle on shoplifters: the little errors at the checkstand which rarely are . caught by the shopper, and when mentioned, are passed off as a minor mistake. In the past few days, honest clerks and merchants have charged me 76c for a 52c half-gallon of milk; run up 7 of a 24c item when I only bought 6; charged me 1.99 for an item that was 1.39 a few months ago (is thispetty theft, or is it price violation?) and I have no idea what all else. Could these 'honest mistakes' reallybe intentional theft, directed by the same store management which calls the hard line on shoplifting? Pe r h a p s it would be retributive justice to make theft at the cash register a severely punishable offense,whether committed by customer or clerk. Shoppers shouldn't steal. Merchants shouldn't either. Whenthey do, both should be punished. As to little human errors, which always seem to favor the store, justhow much more human are they, than the foolish or hungry youngster who 'just once' fails to pay for anitem on his way through the checkout stand? A Townsperson Parking unfair Editor, Western Front: Itseems to me that we have a very unfair and unjust parking system at Western. I have seen manypeoples' cars being given tickets (including my own) when the lot is almost completely emptv. I havealso seen people towed away when lots were not full. Why not have a first come-first serve basis forparking, making for the maximum amount of spaces being used all the time without threat of penalty.Granted, people arriving later in the morning will have a harder time finding a space; it is unlikely thatthey will have their schedules at the same time every quarter. Also, it is usually those who can't affordto pay for a permit, or who are visitors (possibly a great first impression of the college) who get $1tickets or their cars towed away. The school simply is catering to the rich and screwing the poor.Furthermore, the rate for towing a car downtown is outrageous, and it would be both cheaper and moreconvenient for those who have had to walk downtown to get their cars if the school operated a towingservice of its own. The least that could be done would be to allow people without permits to park in a lot until the lot is almost full, before they are ticketed or towed away. I think, however, that it would be toomuch to expect a fair and just plan. Dennis Hamilton 565 Higginson Smithsonian says not so Editor,Western Front: In an issue of your paper, you published an article on marijuana quoting a Dr. Burke,"consultant for the Smithsonian Institute." We have investigated this, and we cannot identify any Dr.Burke as a consultant to the Smithsonian Institution. We have also checked with the AmericanHistorical Association: he is not known to them either. In short, Dr. Burke is either an imposter or afigment of your imagination. As to the statements in the article, the plant cannabis sativa which yieldsmarijuana and hashish is also the source of hemp for rope-making and in the latter role was widelygrown commercially in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries in the United States as well as in othercountries. George Washington mentions his hemp plants in his diaries, and it is quite probable thatJefferson and Madison also grew hemp on their lands as a source of rope. None of these Presidents,however, nor any of the others cited in the article, so far as we can discover, ever referred to smokingmarijuana themselves. Use of marijuana in the United States at this period seems to have been sporadic and casual. Our soldiers encountered it in Mexico (where its use is widespread) during the MexicanWar (1846-48) and travelers from the United States may have been introducted to hashish in Paris in the middle nineteenth century. It was used in some patent medicines in this country and Europe and waslisted in the U.S. pharmacopoeia of medical drugs (though it never had important medical use here) until the outlawing of marijuana in the 1930's. But there is no evidence for the implication in the article thatthere was a general cult of marijuana smoking and appreciation among leading U.S. citizens of the pre-Civil War era. Robert A. Brooks Deputy Under Secretary Smithsonian Institution Cut number collegeyears Editor, Western Front: I feel I must convey a couple of thoughts to all concerned and notconcerned- students of the educational system of our state of Washington. The first thought has to dowith lowering the number of years of a college education from four to three years. What the hell is sohard about doing that? As most of us are aware, high school curricula are filled with such relevantsubjects as English literature, sciences of various s o r t s , and every historical history of varioussocieties, and lots of mathematics. If one were to total up the credit hours of these subjects I believethat at the college level they would amount to at least forty-five hours, or very close to that figure. Mywhole point is this: Why is it that having taken these courses in high school, the college student isrequired to take them again? Having had these courses previously, I fail to find the relevance or thecontemporary value to repeating them when our society is becoming more specialized. After all, whenwas the last time someone asked you the effect the first or second triumvirate had on our society, orDante's purpose of the Inferno, or how to figure out the amount of horse power you were generating whilehaving a romp in the hay? All these courses are fine for a person who wishes to major in them, but givethe rest of us a break. Maybe educators want to keep the theory alive that history repeats itself in theeducational system, too. General Studies 321 is a fine example of another subject of questionablerelevance to most people. I have yet to find a student who thinks anything good about the course. OnFriday, March 10, at 3 p.m., there were about twenty people in the lecture. I took a survey, on 2/23/72,on the class from a visual point of view, and concluded the following: out of 100 peopleâ€”12 per cent left, 5 per cent were instructors, 20 per cent were not taking notes, and 5 per cent were sleeping. Don'teverybody get excited at one time. The educational system as far as I can see is a direct descendent of The Prince and the Courtier and as such is a few hundred years behind the times. Let's get thestudents on the road of life with some relevant information and stop trying to m a k e t h e m w a l k i ng encyclopedias that few have any use for. This could easily lower the time spent in college to three years and save the students some coins too. Don MacMillan Junior, Accounting Load limit hit Editor,Western Front: There are two problems in the format of registration that I feel are in need of somerevision. First, the matter of taking over 20 hours in any quarter w i t h o u t permission. My roommate,who wishes to remain anonymous, tried it for spring of '72. He was told that it has never been allowedand will not be allowed in the future. He is a good student and can handle over 20 hours. As a matter offact, he wanted to take 21 hours so he could get out of school sooner and save some money. It wouldappear to me that this is discrimination, and I wonder what the administration would say if a member ofthe bar were to serve them with a complaint. (It's amazing the results legal action can have in achievingthe desired results.) Second, there is the matter of taking at least one class in the afternoon if a studentis taking over 12 hours in one quarter. The reasons for this requirement are twofold: 1. the instructorswant to spread the load over the entire day, 2. it's not fair to the freshmen to let those registering first get all the morning classes. I submit that these two reasons are ridiculous. If a class is offered in themorning and a student can get into it, so be it. After all, the class is offered again in the afternoon inmost cases. When was the last time you tried to get into a certain class and couldn't because thepeople before you filled it up? The only time a student can be assured of getting in the class he wants,when he wants, is if he is in the first thirty people or so to register. Therefore, I feel that worrying aboutfreshmen is not relevant. Being a freshman is one of the occupational hazards all students go through.So let's make it even for all, and let those who want to take a class take it at the time they want, if theycan get it. Dormitory survey shows confusion A survey asking freshman residents, parents, Western'salumni and Washington State legislators what dorms should be like has just been completed. Althoughthe results of the survey had not been tabulated by this issue, not one of the groups developed anyspecific ideas about what the living structure of the dorms should b e , according to Susan Wishkoski,graduate intern for Residence Hall Programs. "Everybody was confused about how people should livetheir lives," Miss Wishkoski said. The reason for the survey was that Resident Hall Programs needed toknow what people thought of visitation, co-ed dorms and the drinking pohvy, she said. But the -groupsdid not form simple opinions about these policies, Sandy Curtis, another intern, said. People say thatstudents are really loose, but the survey came up with a student who was more conservative than mostof the parents. The end result of the survey could either be stricter structured dorms or dorms speciallydesigned to have a more free living environment, Miss Wishkoski, said. â€¢-...,, â€¢*.,# *.â€ž ~s-"V*r-jY"'v-'^' ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 4 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, April 4- !1972' Western' Front Business-econ majors win Northwest management award T h e de p a r t m e n t of business-economics at Western appears to have one of the Northwest's mostsuccessful undergraduate programs. A group of six Western students, coached by Farrokh Safavi,recently won the 1972 M a n a g e m e n t " S i m u l a t i on Competition at Simon Fraser University in a day-long d e c i s i o n - m a k i n g contest Saturday, March 11. Two three-man teams from Westerncompeted against 12 teams from other Northwest colleges and universities, including the University ofWashington and the University of British Columbia. The Western representatives w o n t h e a g g r e g a te championship. "This is a very high honor for us," Safavi said, "and gives us. a chance to show offWestern's business organization." "This (win) leads me to believe that the quality of our undergraduateprogram in business administration is equal to, if not greater than, similar programs in other universitiesand colleges of the Northwest. "It clearly shows the quality of our department." The managementsimulation . competition involved ten rounds of decision-making on the managerial policies of asupermarket in an oligopolistic (few producers, many buyers) market. The teams were given control ofthe market, decisions on the prices, promotion, number of employees in each section, amount of cashthey needed to borrow, and a number of other marketing and economic issues. "The difference in tenrounds was in how well you managed different areas," Safavi said. "Here came the talent, the skill, theenergy of each team. "The winning team was the one that made the highest profit." Each group madeits decisions and gave them to a computer, which assimilated them. Western met stern overallcompetition from the University of British Columbia but gained superiority in the eighth round. "Ourstudents were very excited about the competition and its results," Safavi said. ' ' T h e results of t hecompetition imply that the quality of our program in business administration and the knowledge andability of our students in understanding and solving managerial problems have been greatly improved inrecent years." T h e m a n a g e m e nt competition was preceded by a conference with leading marketexecutives of British Columbia business corporations. Nine Western students attended this conference,all paying their own expenses. Howard Mitchell, chairman of the business-economics department, wasvery satisfied with the -results of both the conference and the contest. "The students were verypleased," he said. "They found they were able to use their background in competition with otherstudents." "It gives us an indication that our program is sound and sufficiently integrated." DaleRasmussen, a Western senior who placed second in individual profits, termed the competition "a realinteresting and educational experience." " O t h e r s c h o o l s had experience in the games," he said."Our team came in without any prior performances, and yet we were able to perform well in a competitive environment." The students involved also emphasized Safavi's excellent coaching assistance. "Dr.Safavi is a fine example of the dedication present in the business faculty here at Western."

Klipsun, The Western Front, and Associated Students areamong the latest groups to appeal to the Other Student Facilities Committee (OSF) for VU space. These requests were presented to OSF at their last, meeting of Winter quarter, held March 13. The substance of the publications' request was to give Klipsun's office (VU 311) to the Western Front and move Klipsun down the hall into the rooms now occupied by MECHA and AISU, VU 305-7. The request, prepared by Western Front editor Jackie Lawson, said that VU 305-7 are "good work rooms that are now used solely for lounge space" -and suggests "that they (MECHA and AISU) be given a space more suited to theirneeds than the VU basement." OSF Chairman Kay Burke said that those rooms have been granted toMECHA and AISU for the entire school year and that her committee is not willing to set a precedent ofretracting office space. She said that the move would be possible only if the two student unions werewilling to move out, but that she had spoken with members of MECHA and AISU, anticipating thisspace request, and that they both had Spring quarter projects coming up and were not willing to move.Miss Burke said that during Spring quarter all VU space will be under review for use next year and thatthe committee w o u l d r e c o n s i d e r the publications' request at that time.

Male and female students at Western are now attempting to force Bellingham employers to abandon employment practices that may violate aWashington S t a t e law against sex discrimination which became effective July 1, 1971. A b o u tseven Western students have filed complaints against local firms with the Washington State HumanRights Commission, Western's Housing and Employment Commissioner Craig Cole said. Some 20cases of alleged sex discrimination have come before the Housing and Employment Commission sinceemployment became a part of the commission late in Winter quarter, Cole said. Most have been settled informally, he added. About 60 per cent of the complaints have involved females and 40 per cent males, Cole estimated. The violations involve a p p l i c a t i o n forms and limitations expressed by anemployer. According to the Washington S t a t e Age and Sex D i s c r i m i n a t i o n Division,inquiries such as marital status, number of children and spouse's occupation on employment a p p l i ca t i o n s are prohibited except in certain cases. Exceptions to the above application inquiries are; (1)when the inquiry is specifically requested by the United States Government, (2) when the employer or em p l o y m e n t agency is attempting to effect an approved corrective employment program, or (3)when identification has been approved by the Human Rights Commission as a bona fide occupationalqualification for a particular job. The general guidelines followed by the Human Rights Commissionregarding a bona fide occupational qualification strike down "many of the assumptions and preferenceswhich have heretofore resulted in hiring individuals of one sex only." T h e s e i n c l u d e ' ' t heassumption that individuals of one sex are unwilling to apply for certain types of work traditionally doneby persons of the other sex, the assumption that co-workers, clients or customers prefer employees ofone sex, the fact that physical facilities are not now available on the job for both sexes, and theassumption that individuals of one sex, not the other, have c e r t a i n p e r s o n a l i ty characteristicswhich are desirable for a certain position." The law covers employers with eight or more employees,labor unions and employment agencies. "Our biggest problem has been one of ignorance," Cole said.Many employers are unaware that pre-employment practices they use are now illegal, Cole said. Whenfaced with a complaint they usually make an informal settlement. Complaints filed with the HumanRights Commission generally follow a three-step procedure. The commission assigns an investigator todetermine the facts. If there is "reasonable cause for believing" a discriminatory practice has beencommitted then an effort is begun to eliminate the practice by conference, conciliation and persuasion. If that fails the case goes to the commission for a public hearing which will result in an order eliminatingthe discriminatory practice or dismissal of the case. Although none of the complaints filed by Westernstudents have yet been settled t h r o u g h the established procedure, Cole said complaints often aresettled in conciliation with the employer hiring the person and paying back wages. T h e H o u s i n gand Employment Commission is planning to inform 1,000 local employers by mailing them a summaryof the law against d i s c r i m i n a t i o n and accompanying regulations in the next few weeks, Colesaid. Bellingham employers often stereotype persons, he said. They don't want to hire a male as asecretary or a female as a truck driver. Yet this is now considered illegal under the new state law. ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 4 - Page 7 ---------- tueSdaV/Aprif'4- 1972 Western Front Birnam Wood residents oppose parking rule This car along with 13others "with stickers" nearly got towed away for permit violations at Birnam Wood.

And IVe cut my homework time in half. Being able to read much foster has also, I think, increased mygeneral knowledge in many other areas. For example, I can read a whole newspaper now in a half-hour. A novel takes me one hour at the most. I've already recommended the course to all my friends. Andmany of them are going to take Reading Dynamics." NATALIA LABINSKY, UNIVERSITY FRESHMAN"Reading Dynamics has cut my study time in half. It's given me the opportunity to learn and study more. I have a very broad field of interests. Just about everything interests me. I was teetering on dropping out of school completely or getting extremely low qrades. Thanks to Reading Dynamics, I pulled myself outand have gotten high scores on tests. When I go to school, kids ask about it. I tell them and they seemvery impressed." TOM DAVID, BUSINESSMAN "I can read an average novel in 45 minutes. What usedto be a week's reading for me takes about a half-hour now. I recommend the course highly. You becomea better-informed individual in both business and pleasure materials and increase your chances of beingsuccessful. Reading Dynomics is the best self-improvement course of its type.

Many of the residents were left out, either because they were student teachingpreviously, had just moved to the apartment complex or various other reasons, Mrs. Johnson said. Theproblem stems from the fact that the planners of the lot only allowed for one or two stalls per apartmentand last quarter there were as many as four cars per apartment, she said. "Students were forced topark wherever they could," She added. About 10 residents met with Pete Coy, director of Housing, latelast quarter and decided that parking permits should be issued to residents. It was believed that possibly some of the people using the lot were not residents. Coy said that he did not like the idea of permits atthat time and still doesn't, but it was his job to tell Security to treat the Birnam Wood lot like all otherlots on campus. He said that he believes the parking system should go back to the first-come, first-serve parking situation and should not continue with the permit system. Coy pointed out that the petitoindrive was actually his idea, as he told residents that if they collected 50 per cent of the apartments'signatures he would meet again with them this week. Originally, the next meeting was scheduled in amonth. As a result of the petition signed by 62 per cent of the residents, Coy has set up a meetingThursday at 7 p.m. in Birnam Wood's recreation room. He said that the ticketing will continue untilsomething is decided at that meeting. Although, quite a few tickets have been issued this past week,as of last Friday there have not been any., impounding of vehicles, according to Security spokesmen.This reporter, though witnessed a situation which nearly resulted in a towing where a car did have asticker on it, but Security was told by Housing that this car owner and 13 others were not registered atWestern this quarter and thus their permits were invalidated. The student vehemently protested that hewas a registered student and the Security officers decided to double check with Housing whodiscovered that this car owner and the others were registered at Western.

Photos by Jim Thomson by DAN TOLVA A U .S.-Canadian rally protesting the war in Vietnam drew over 100 clergy, laymen and students to the Peace Arch in Blaine last Fridayat 2 p.m. N g u y e n T h a i - B i n h , Vietnamese student-activist, charged America with inflicting a"brutal barbarous war" against his country. "The U.S. government has used the most sophisticated w ea p o n s , electronic and chemical, for the killing, burning and destruction of Vietnam," Binh told thegathering. Over one million Vietnamese have been killed "in the most horrible way," according to Binh,and the rest of the people face torture or humiliation at the hands of the Thieu government or foreigntroops. Binh, who took over the South Vietnamese consulate in New York City along with nine o t h e rSouth Vietnamese students to protest the war, charged the Thieu regime with imprisoning and torturingpolitical prisoners. He called for withdrawal of all U.S. forces from Southeast Asia and toppling of theThieu regime. He thanked American peace groups for their support in his effort to bring peace to "my-beloved country." "We respect you for this effort to end this filthy war," Binh said. A Canadian priest,Father James Roberts, said the rationale behind America's involvement in Vietnam was a twisted version of the Christian doctrine teaching Christ died to set us free. "We say that it is good that one smallnation die so that we may live and flourish," Father Roberts said. He lauded U.S. and Canadian peacegroups for opposing "all violence to the weak and the oppressed." He sounded the theme of theresurrection of Christ in giving hope for peace. "I hope that Good Friday may lead to a sort ofresurrection of the oppressed," Father Roberts finished. J o e l C o n n e l l y , a conscientious objectorserving his alternative service at the Campus Christian Ministry, told the rally that President Nixon'sVietnam policy didn't stop the killing but only made American casualties more "acceptable." "It's aneffort to escape moral guilt by changing the color of the corpses," he said. The U.S.'s guilt for the war is indicated by the raising of the perpetraters of My Lai to the status of fold-heroes, while persecutingDaniel Ellsberg, the Berrigans and other "prophetic minorities," Connelly said. He called for peacegroups to challenge the "myth and the rationale of an imperialist power" to end the Vietnam war. "If weclaim to love freedom, this is the least we can do," Connelly said. A prayer shortened by a chilly drizzle was offered by the Rev. Bill Sodt of Bellingham, thanking God for the wet weather. "Thank you for thisglorious rain that is falling upon us, but relieve us of the guilt for the things that are falling on otherpeople," the Lutheran minister asked. The rally was sponsored by t h e H a r r i s b u r g DefenseCommittee, Episcopal Peace Fellowship and Clergy and Laymen Concerned About the War in Vietnam.

The board will meetat 1 p.m. in room 407 of the Washington building in Seattle. Western is not the first state college toapproach its Board. On March 24, the University of Washington's chapter of WashPIRG went before itsBoard of Regents who postponed taking action until the next meeting April 21, to allow the Universityand Student Welfare Committee to study the matter. Several of the Regents agreed that WashPIRGsounded like a good idea, but voiced reservations about the University's involvement in fundingWashPIRG. The only school in Washington which has accepted WashPIRG thus far is WhitworthCollege which did not need prior approval of its Board because it is a private school. W e s t e r n ' sWashPIRG organizers point out that they are approaching the Board with the hope that the Trustees will approve the establishment of WashPIRG at Western and will request that the college administration and the local chapter work out an implementation procedure before the next Board meeting May 4. The 70-page proposal consists of information on the objectives of WashPIRG, history, organizational structure,educational value, articles of incorporation, proposed budget and letters of recommendation. Theproposal defines WashPIRG as an "effort by students to work within the present educational and socialsystems to analyze and held solve some of Washington's problems in such fields as environmentalpreservation, consumer protection and individual rights." WashPIRG organizers describe the largestudent support of the concept as both a desire among students to apply the theories and skillsacquired in their academic studies to the resolution of community problems and as a growing interestamong the citizens to gain an understanding of the decision-making process. Letters of recommendation for WashPIRG have been received from Governor Daniel J. Evans, U.S. representative Lloyd Meeds,U.S. Senators Warren G. Magnuson and Henry M. Jackson, and several Washington State legislators.Governor Evans closed his letter to the UW local chapter by saying, "I wish you success in your effortsto obtain approval from the governing boards of the various colleges and universities in this state."WashPIRG organizers find this most significant because of the fact that the Governor appoints thevarious boards. One of the biggest problems WashPIRG organizers face is the acceptance of the funding procedures. WashPIRG had originally proposed that the college collect $ 1 per student per quarter atthe time of fees payment. Under this system, WashPIRG would be responsible for refunding the $1within 10 days to students not wanting to contribute. Another plan called the "negative check-off system" has been proposed. Students would check a box on their fee payment card if they did not want toparticipate in WashPIRG. "In this system the $1 never leaves the student's hands," Larry Diamondpointed out. The proposal projects a total yearly expenditure of $125,000 for the state organization. This includes money for staffing, office expenses, publicity, researching and local board operating expenses. Each local board will be funded from the entire state budget. Each participating school will receive$5000 a year plus $500 for each $10,000 collected. Western's operating expenses would be around$2,000. Western's local board will consist of one member each from the College of Ethnic Studies,Fairhaven College, Graduate School and Huxley College; four members from Western; and three at-large representatives. The state board will be composed of one delegate for each school with less than 5,000 students, two delegates from schools with 5,000-12,000, three f r o m s c h o o l s with 12,000-25,000and four from schools with more than 25,000 students. Western would have two representatives on theStudent State Board of Directors. Applicants needed for commissioner positions People are needed toserve as p r o g r a m c o m m i s s i o n e r, r e c r e a t i o n commissioner, L a k e w o o d managerand s t u d e n t s - a t - l a r g e on the Activities Council. Barry Bonifas, program coordinator, isseeking students to serve in these positions beginning Spring quarter. Applications must be turned in to Bonifas in Viking Union 206 by Friday, when interviews will begin, he said. Program commissioner, asalaried position, involves the responsibility of coordinating lectures, dances, films, Mama Sundays, theViking Union Art Gallery and other student activities. The student selected will serve as an intern Spring quarter, then begin the year-long job beginning Summer quarter. The recreation commissioner c o o r di n a t e s the various recreation and sports clubs on campus, such as the sailing club, the bicyclingclub and the soccer club. He runs the Outdoor P r o g r a m , which plans recreational activities such as hikes and climbs. The recreation commissioner, also salaried, must intern Spring quarter and thenbegin the year-long term' Summer quarter. Students applying for either position must be a full-timestudent and sritmld have been involved in either the recreation or program commission for at least twoquarters, although this isn't a requirement. The Lakewood manager oversees the running of L a k e w oo d , W e s t e r n 's recreational land on Lake Whatcom. The person selected will work about 40 hoursweekly in the summer, with little to do in the winter and other hours depending on the weather in springand fall. He will also help p l a n new facilities for Lakewood. This is a salaried, year-long position,beginning in the summer, requiring a full-time student. Two students are needed to serve on theActivities Council as students-at-large. The Activities Council budgets and coordinates the 60-70campus organizations. The two people selected will serve immediately, as the Activities Council isplanning budgets at this time. The jobs are non-salaried, requiring attending meetings of the ActivitiesCouncil. It will probably meet once a week Spring quarter to plan budgets and two or three timesmonthly the rest of the year. There is no summer activity. Further information about any of thesepositions can be obtained from Bonifas in VU206. Student body leaders endorse Gov Evans TheCouncil of Student Body Presidents has gone on record supporting the re-election of Governor DanEvans. The council, headed by Western's AS President Tod Sundquist, is composed of the ASpresidents of the three state c o l l e g e s and two state universities in Washington. In their newsrelease the council gave as their second choice State Representative James McDermott. Theydescribed McDermott as a "just and able man of integrity and sincere concern for the needs of thepeople of Washington State." The council gave somewhat less encouragement for the gubernatorialaspirations of State Senator Martin J. Durkan. The council said they had l i t t l e respect for Durkanbecause, "we believe that his political performance has been one clearly geared toward the objective ofcrowning the good senator 'Governor,' rather than toward the good of the public. "He is, unquestionably,politically powerful and wise. "However, Mr. Durkan's public comments and official a c t i o n sfrequently, and somewhat mysteriously, fail to coincide." The release cites an example where Durkanpromised not to raise college tuition and later wrote a budget which did raise tuition and reduced apromised waiver for disadvantaged students from six to three per cent. Another example mentioned inthe release was an indian-requested retrocession bill. This legislation would have given indians theoption of taking charge of law and justice on the reservations. Durkan has promised his full support,according to the release, yet failed to appear to break a tie vote and and bill died in committee. In itsaccolades for Governor Evans the council said, "(he) is a man who has demonstrated praiseworthycharacteristics not often found in most elected leaders . . . (including) moral and intellectual strength,political courage and most importantly, honesty." by JACK BROOM Concentrating on conflicts andignoring accomplishments are two prime examples of the way the White media distorted coverage ofMarch's National Black Political Convention, according to Ethnic Studies professor William Harris.Harris was a Washington State delegate to the convention, held March 10 through 12 in Gary, Ind.Harris used the example of an Associated Press article (printed in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer March13) to demonstrate how the White press presented its readers with a negative picture of the convention.The article centers around two "conflicts." The first involves disagreement on school busing and thesecond concerns the presidential candidacy of R e p r e s e n t a t i v e Shirley Chisholm, D-New York.Harris feels that the busing controversy was exaggerated and that it was not a major issue at theconvention. "The National Black Agenda ( t h e convention's platform) addresses the issue of educationin terms of the problem of quality education," Harris said. "Busing is sort of a political problem, withopinions on both sides, that was not a major issue at this convention, neither in terms of the goals of the convention, nor in terms of results. At best it was only a side issue." Regarding the candidacy ofShirley Chisholm, the article said that the convention "refused to endorse a presidential candidate but atthe same time endorsed t h e presidential bid of Representative Shirley Chisholm of New York." Harrissaid that the AP article sees that as being contradictory, and conflicting, "but you have to look at it inthis light: " T h e Black Political Convention, knowing that the chances for a Black political candidate inthis election year are almost nil, was not convened to nominate a presidential candidate, so that was not one of the goals of the convention. "But recognizing that there is a Black candidate whose hat is in thering, they put their support behind that candidate. It's the difference between support and a commitmentto work in a campaign, I don't see that as a conflict." Harris also said that while he was on theconvention floor, the feedback he received concerning television coverage indicated that television, also,was focusing on conflict and confusion. One incident of confusion at the convention involved severalinoperable microphones on the convention floor. Because of the dead mikes, several state delegationshad to approach the speakers platform in order to use the microphones. At one point, several membersof the New York State delegation were "treated rather roughly by a security guard as they attempted tomake their way through some 3,300 people to approach the speaker's platform," Harris said. "This wasdealt with immediately by the chair, as the security guard was removed from duty, Harris added. "At notime was there an ugly situation developing." Harris said that he personally checked into the reason why those microphones weren't working and found that although there * were several technicians servicingequipment on the floor, there was one master technician, a White male, who was sitting at a panelwhich c o n t r o l l e d all the floor microphones. "I had clearance from the WILLIAM HARRIS chairman of the convention to speak with him and to implement whatever kind of action I wished to facilitate theconvention, but the technician refused to cooperate with me. "I have had some experience with soundsystems and it seemed to me that it would be a simple matter to test all the microphones and determine which were working and which weren't. "But this technician was not doing anything to rectify thematter, and as a result, activity on the floor during the first day of the convention was very confusing."Various delegations whose mikes were inoperable thought that they were being denied the right tospeak, and a potentially explosive situation developed because of this one person's unwillingness tocooperate. "Fortunately, on the second day, the placement of the mikes was changed and this individual was removed from duty. "â€¢Now I'm not putting down this guy because he was White. But, what I'msaying is that his actions, because of ineptitude, lack of cooperation, or some sort of negative attitudeon his part were, in effect, sabotaging the convention. Harris said that there wasn't any more disorder atthis convention than there is at most political conventions. But in the case of this convention, the pressc h o s e to i g n o r e the .accomplishments and report primarily the negative aspects. "The exceptionto this is when you have a convention like the Democrats had in Chicago, a holocaust sort of situation,"he said. "Our convention was nothing like that." Harris points out that the two main goals of theconvention were to formulate a political agenda (a set of goals toward which all Black persons couldstrive) and to set up a structure for carrying out this agenda. B o t h of these were accomplished, Harrissaid. The draft of the National Black Political Agenda was submitted to the various delegations forchanges and additions. The structure established included the formation of the National BlackAssembly, a steering committee, and a National Black Council. All of these organizations will worktoward implementation of the political agenda, he added. Harris emphasized that he feels the conventionwas "a full-fledged, unqualified success. And I see great ramifications for political action, not only ofblack groups, but of other oppressed groups in this country, as a result of this convention." ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 4 - Page 10 ---------- ;10 Western Front - Tuesday,.-Apr.ih4,-19,72 Rising grade level explained by DUFF WILSON The all-college grade, point average last fall was 2.8 on the .4.0 system.

Of last fall's overallgrades, 27 per cent were A, 30 percent B, 21 per cent C, 3 per cent D, and 2 per cent F. What is thecause of this tendency toward higher grades throughout the college?

There are three basic reasons for this: â€”"We probably havebetter students and better instruction. â€”"There's also the feeling, the very strong feeling amongstudents and faculty, that grades don't really have any. meaning. There's a reluctance on the part ofsome faculty to give students poor grades. â€”"Pass-fail grading, which doesn't count on the GPA."Omey: High school GPA's up B. Eugene Omey, Director, Admissions: "The GPA's of entering freshmen have gone steadily up from 2.93 in 1968 to 3.06 last fall. Of our freshmen, nearly 90 per cent were in the top half of their graduating class. "In 1967, 7.8 per cent of the students admitted to Western were in the upper half of their class but below 2.5. By 1971, this figure had decreased to 1.3 per cent. "From this Iconclude that in most high schools the seniors are more likely to average at or above 2.5 than severalyears ago. "More than increased ability or increased motivation, (this rise in grade averages is causedby) an altered outlook on grades by the faculty. "There is some general dissatisfaction with grades ingeneral, and "the faculty responds to public opinion and suggestion. "Students appear to me to berelatively constant in their basic overall ability and motivation. Also, grade point averages in many waysare almost meaningless since many poor grades are omitted through pass-fail grading and there is agreatly increased use of i n c o m p l e t e s by professorsâ€”probably as an excuse for F's. "However, Isense the beginning of a reaction against easier-to-get grades. Maybe the pendulum is starting to swing the other way." Sargent: exceptional students Frederick Sargent II, Provost: "We have better studentsat Western than we used to have. "Saying that the professors are just grading higher is an easyanswer. "The brighter students are selecting Western because they know they're going to be challenged here, and they're responding to the challenge as I would expect. "I think it supports the general notionthat Western is different from the other state colleges in many ways. We sponsor an exciting program."Although higher-quality students is not the whole explanation, it's a large contributory factor. "In talking to faculty it seems the quality of papers, of w r i t i n g , has improved immeasurably. "Frequently thereare more students who deserve A's, so we give more A's. "You would think that if the professors weregiving easier marks the number of F's would go way down. But it (the number of F's) has remained veryconstant at Western; this would indicate something else causing this trend. "We're getting betterstudents. We have a control to prove this: Central Washington State College. While both schools aregenerally drawing from the same students in the Seattle area, Central's GPA is going down a little. "We seem to be attracting the brighter students. "I think about one in eight, 12 per cent, of the graduates atWestern graduate with some kind of honors, having earned a 3.5 GPA or above. "It seems unfair tochange the criteria for honors. If we have exceptional students we expect them to do exceptional work,and graduate with honors." Bultmann: drop-outs, overlap William A. Bultmann, Dean, College of Artsand Sciences: "The drop-out rate has increased fantastically. People with lower grades drop out so their GPA's don't count. "Also, some high school districts are more conscious of pointing their kids towardcollege. They better prepare them for it." High school curricula include the same kinds of courses we'regiving. There is an overlap. In some cases students can't help but get an A, having had a similar coursein high school. Also, a lot of professors are suspicious of the grading system. "Does it have muchmeaning in terms of what the student learns, or anything? Exams, or whatever, aren't really adequate to assess what a student knows. "What grade the professor . gives is losing its importance." Mitchell:leniency in drops, pass/fail H o w a r d E.* Mitchell, Chairman, Business-Economics: "I don't know ifthere's any good explanation of higher grades. Part of it may be: "First, the nature of some courses,where it is difficult to be as precise in grade determination. The grade becomes more subjective."Second, the pass-fail option. D or F grades don't hurt the overall grade average. "Third, more leniency in the drop privilege. "Fourth, I think students are spending more time studying, a little more serious thanthey were for two or three years. Performance levels have increased. "With higher tuitions and costs ofcollege, there may be a motivating force in higher expectations from both the student and his parents."Also, more students seem to be interested in the content of their background than in just a degree. The student before was interested in getting that degree and getting out, but the employment picture nowhas made a good background much more important. "I'm not sure that high schools are getting better.Among our majors we get an awful lot of students deficient in their writing and mathematical abilities."Kelly: grades unreliable Samuel P. Kelly, Director, Center for Higher Education: "It (grading) is a systemwe use to varying degrees of success, properly and improperly both." This trend toward increased grade averages is "more than a swing of a pendulumâ€”it is a notable change." The causes, with expectations remaining constant, are four: â€”"A combination of better teaching and better learning. This may,however, be over-optimistic; it is unlikely that this would occur in several departments at the same time. -"Pass-fail courses. â€”"The phenomenon of a large number of faculty in certain departments agreeing .. . that they've been grading too stringently, and consciously re-evaluating their grading levels, incomparison with other departments. â€”"Grades are considered by many people to be a poor game butthe only game in town. But the game changes. They don't want to play it any more. "We must considerdepartmental vs. institutional standards: does a department have the right to establish and administerbases for grading within its own discipline? "Standards for grades are also b a s e d s o m e w h a t onconsequences; admission into a graduate school, certification to t e a c h , expectations of employers,and othen. Buckland: general relaxation Roscoe L. Buckland, Chairman, General Studies: "There'sbeen a general relaxation of grading across the country. "But the grades in general studies courses areif anything running a little conservatively. They've shown no great change in the last two or three years."Grades for lower-division courses are generally lower than for upper-division courses." Romine: massmedia,Vietnam Ray S. Romine, Associate Dean of Students: There are four main reasons for this trend: 1â€”"Grades are not as important as they used to be, either to faculty or to students. Or to employers.Or to graduate schools. Deciding the grade is not that big a deal. v 2 - " I n t e l l e c t u a l l y , ourstudents are better prepared. The mass media has aided in a very important way the rise of the level ofintellectual sophistication in youth. The total intellectual experience, including high school, hasimproved." 3 - " T h e Vietnam war. Faculty either consciously or unconsciously don't want to contribute to a person losing his i draft deferment by flunking out of school." 4 â€”"Methods by which studentscan prove their prowess in a given area are more and changing . . . not just paper and | pencil." ---------- Western Front - 1972 April 4 - Page 11 ---------- Tuesday/April"4; 1972 Western Front 11 "A selective process takes p l a c e by this time; upper-divisionstudents are expected to be better, and graded accordingly. "The grade average in all educationcourses is about 3.3." Miller: Huxley rising too Gene Miller, Dean, Huxley College: "We really haven'trecorded a trend at Huxley because we're so new, only into our fifth quarter. "But I think we're probablypretty close to the W.W.S.C. standard. As I remember, the average grade is about B. "The number ofA's is going up, the number of F's staying about the same." Reasons for the overall rise would includepass-fail options, b e t t e r high schools, and selectivity in screening out applications for admissions."Huxley students are older and more highly motivated; they know what to do, they go out and do extrathings. "We get students who expect themselves to get higher grades." Ferris: standards higher Donald A. Ferris, Associate director, Teacher Education: "In general, standards are getting higher. "We'regetting a higher caliber of student from the high schools, better prepared than students 10 years ago."There's been a changing attitude toward grades by college instructors. The college as a whole isbeginning to de-emphasize grades. "We may not be as confident in our devices for grading as we usedto be. "As far as education is concerned everything - we give, with one exception, is upper division, 300-level or above. McDonnell: Faculty attitudes R o b e r t McDonnell, Chairm an, En glish: ' ' I p e r c e i ve some improvement in students, but the greater shift has been in the use of grading by faculty. "Largenumbers - of faculty are -using different grading standards than in the past. "There is a diversity amonggrading patterns." Liquor license sought for pub-restaurant in VU Applications have been sent for aliquor license and Western is again in the midst of trying to establish a pub-restaurant on campus. PatDavis, non-academic c o o r d i n a t o r for Associated Students, is in charge of the current campaign.Groundwork was laid in the spring of 1970 but was never followed through until the current revival. Theoriginal proposal was adopted by the Board of Trustees on June 12, 1970 but the issue was droppedbecause of the belief that the Liquor Control Board would not issue a license. Attrition of the originalcoordinators of the proposal was another reason. With an English pub or Rathskeller-type atmosphere,the pub was to have been located on the "fourth floor of the Viking Union. If that space can be madeavailable again the pub will still be located there. Capacity will be for about 200 people. Light food, beer,wine and soft drinks would be available to the patrons. Space for dancing would be set aside for theweekends. The pub-restaurant operation would be totally student owned and operated. It would be anon-profit organization with a small return over expenses. The past proposal is still valid and the costwould run about $100,000.

Inspector for Bellingham said that an applicant for a liquor license must show a need forestablishing a pub, show that there has been substantial growth to support the premises, and meet withthe approval of local officials. Davis felt that these and all other conditions could be met and thatwhether or not the campus gets a pub rests on the shoulders of the Liquor Control Board. People whotake a closer look at things.

This system demands that any organization desiring funding fromASAC will need to submit an itemized expenditure list stipulating what, when and how the money is tobe spent. The new system consists of six distinct forms which itemize each group's needs, the cost ofeach need and a justification for each dollar spent. Each organization requesting money for events willneed to list each event and all particulars which make up the expense. No longer will lump sums bedealt out for organizations that don't, won't or can't give specific costs for their proposed needs. Hassplans to distribute the forms this week and said that any groups missed should obtain the forms at hisoffice. For those seeking detailed information, a meeting is scheduled for Thursday at 3:15 p.m. in Viking Union 224.. The purpose of the meeting is to give specific information on the forms so that the requests can be reviewed quickly and revisions or objections can be aired before the 1972-73 budget iscompiled. April 14 is the deadline for returning the forms to Hass in VU211. Hass, also chairman ofASAC, said that the forms should not be considered as harassment by the organizations involved insubmitting budgets, but rather as an updating and general improvement of the present system. "For thefirst time, students w i l l be furnished with information on where money is going and why," Hass said.He said that he wanted the business office to be a n o n - p o l i t i c a l l y involved information,collection and organizational pool. Hass praised the Sounders, a skin-diving organization, for raisingenough funds so that they did not need money from ASAC. He wished more groups would follow theSounder's lead. Hitchhiking legal soon Hitchhiking will become legal in Washington State on May 23 of this year. The only exceptions to this are limited access roads and where a traffic hazard is posted.The Washington State Patrol is still citing people for hitchhiking as are the other law enforcementagencies in the area. A State Patrol spokesman said that after the law goes into effect they will issueno more citations but will still be stopping people to get names and destinations. The Bellingham policesaid that they would be citing people before the law goes into effect only when there is a hazardoussituation involved. â€¢ Students wKo" are in need of part-time : | or temporary off-camp us work duringâ€¢ : Spring or Summer should make application â€¢ â€¢ at the Associated Students Housing t â€¢Employment Commission in room 215 of : j the Viking Union Building. f ! This application should be made even if \ â€¢ you had done so during Winter Quarter. : Hiring more professors unlikely by CAROLYNHILL Every department is crying for a new faculty position, but t h e prospects for hiring additionalprofessors is hopeless. According to a state-imposed full-time enrollment formula, every 20 studentseach carrying at least 15 credits of lower-division courses deserve one professor; 11 full-time studentsin. upper-division courses earn a prof; and seven graduate students rate one instructor. This is the idealbudgetary formula Western asks from the state legislature each biennium. Last session the legislaturecut the budget to 72 per cent of this formula. The highest percentage Western has ever.received is 89per cent; administrators hope to raise the proportion to 80 per cent. Provost Frederick Sargent II andPresident Charles J. Flora decide how the money is to be allocated among the College of Arts andSciences and the three cluster colleges. Then William Bultmann, dean of the College of Arts andSciences, and his budget committee determine how their share is to be divided among their 23departments. They consider a department's student credit hours, the cost of these credit hours, the time outside of the classroom the professors spend with their students, the special needs of the particulardiscipline and the number of professors in the department. Physics 101 is a perfect example of how adepartment uses the system to increase its fapulty. This money-making course- of 1,200 students rakes in enough money to support many upper-division classes with as few as six students. Technology,which is left out of the general education requirements, is one department which has no way to hire more professors to teach classes with waiting lists of 65 tech majors. A department with several laboratoryclasses may find itself cheated when the credit hours are divvied up. A professor lecturing for three hours to 300 students earns 900 credit hours for his department. A lab instructor may teach 30 pupils forthree hours and add up only 90 credit hours. His time is va/uable to the department regarding instructionbut is inefficient when considering the budget. A d j u s t m e n t s to accommodate this situation result in some strange disparities. Sociology, which is almost completely lecture-oriented, is only funded at30 per cent of formula, while a studio department such as music is funded at 100 per cent of theformula. Western can support only a fixed number of professors. A new . faculty position can be created only if a professor from another department dies, resigns or is fired or if the legislature grants moremoney. Provost Sargent suggests the long-range goals of Western should be changed to includepopular disciplines such as technology and economics. He warns, however, that popularity should befirmly established before a change in the general education philosophy is made. 50,000 JOBSSUMMER EMPLOYMENT CAREER OPPORTUNITY PROGRAMS The National Agency Of StudentEmployment Has Recently Completed A Nationwide Research Program Of Jobs Available To CollegeStudents And Graduates During 1972.

New rules end food stamp use by most students Most students will be restrictedfrom the use of food stamps by new federal stamp regulations which went into effect April 1, Bellingham Department of Public Assistance officials reported. A c c o r d i n g to Public Assistance administrators Ellen Jasnosz, Collin Carlile and Dean Rutledge, the new regulations make it virtually impossible forcollege students to obtain food stamps. The new regulations prevent all people under 60 living withothers to whom they are not related from being eligible for stamps. In the past, almost anyone whoqualified financially could be eligible. According to Rutledge, the intent of the new regulations is toprevent "hippies, students and members of communes from using food stamps." Rutledge cited a floodof â€¢letters protesting the misuse of food stamps by young people which descended on U.S.Congressmen at a rate of 1,000 per month as a major cause of the decision. When asked * if the newregulations were not in fact b l a t a n t l y discriminatory of young people in general and collegestudents specifically, Carlile replied that "they've been much more clever than that. But of course theintent is discriminatory." According to Mrs. Jasnosz, some students may possibly be eligible forstamps in cases where: 1) students are married and living in a house by themselves, 2) students areliving together in a state of common law and are commonly recognized by the community as husbandand wife, 3) a student is 18 or older and living alone or 4) a student's parents are receiving food stamps. If a student satisfies the above conditions, he cannot be declared on anyone's income tax statement asa dependent and must present a signed statement by his parents affirming this. If a student can hurdlethese barriers, besides registering at the Unemployment Center for a job, then indeed he may beeligible for food stamps now. Any persons who consider themselves eligible or are unsure as to theireligibility can meet with a Public Assistance official to clarify their status. '-.v- " gt; lt;* gt;-â€¢ lt;â€¢?

G-W won, 81-75, to oust Western from the tourney. Vik five make strongshowing at KC With a few breaks at critical times, Western's basketball team may well have returned to Bellingham with the NAIA national championship, but as it happened the Vikings lost to the Garder-Webb (G-W) Bulldogs of North Carolina, 81-75 in a quarterfinal game to end their title dreams. The Viksearned a berth into the final eight teams by defeating Findlay of Ohio, 6 6 - 6 3 and d r o p p i ngNortheastern Oklahoma State, 74-68, in previous rounds in the 32 team tournament in Kansas City, Mo.Western's final record was 26-4. Western played the Bulldogs down to the wire, but the last few Vikingshots refused to drop and four three throws by G a r d n e r - W e b b ' s Denny DeSanctis, his onlypoints of the game, ousted Western from the tournament. The Big Blue had been seeded fifth in thetourney, with Gardner-Webb rated fourth. The Bulldogs came into the tournament averaging 110 points a game, leading the nation, and with the nation's number two small college scorer, George Adams.Adams scored 38 points against Western, 29 of them in the second half. A combination of Roger Fuson and Chip Kohr held Adams' to just nine second half points. The Vikings began the contest as if theywere going to run the 'Dogs right out of Municipal Auditorium. After a brief exchange of leads, Westernburst out to a lead that eventually reached 11 points at 24-13. However, a deadly duo of Adams and AlGraves brought the North Carolina team to a tie at 44-44, before Western took a 46-45 halftime lead.Adams and Graves scored 42 of G-W's 45 first half points. In the second half, the Bulldogs' attackevened out as they took the lead for good at 53-52 on a short jumper by Graves. Though Gardner-Webb's lead never exceeded eight, Western was unable to close the gap completely and retake the lead.Rudy Thomas led the Viks in their final game of the season with 22 points, followed by Gary White with18, Mike Franza with 16 and Fuson with 10. In the Viks first tournament game, four free throws byFranza iced a long tough battle with the Findlay Oilers. The Vikings scored their last eight points fromthe charity stripe, Franza getting six and White two. Findlay, the District 22 champion, rallied after anearly slump to take a 17-15 lead, soon stretching it to 27-18 before Western closed to 36-29 at the half. A tough Western defense and an offense finally rid of first game jitters overtook the Oilers at 53-51 andseemed ready to run away with it, but the Ohio cagers fought back to within one, 62-61, before Franza'sfree throws clinched it.

UPS had four blue ribbons and SPC six. However, Puget Sound scorednine seconds, seven thirds and eight fourths to win. After Vorce had won he first lap, he had troublehanding the baton to Stewart, who had to come to a complete halt to finally get it. By then UPS hadopened almost a 25-yard lead. Stewart closed the lead to about 15 yards before giving the baton to DickFoley. Foley kept pace closing to within about 10 yards when he handed off to Jeff May. May put on aquick burst of speed to catch UPS' Jim Catalanich and take the lead before finally losing it in the final200 yards. The Loggers' time was 3:26.7, compared to Western's 3:29.0. The meet highlighted threeViking spikers and Seattle Pacific's Olympic decathalon contender, Bill Spaet.

Viking coach Dick Bowman, just back from a three-weektrip to Australia with American Olympic prospects, was cautious in post-meet comments. "We shouldhave won it," Bowman said, "if it hadn't been for that bad handoff. But we did have some real good timesfor this early in the season. That's something I am pleased with." Western was assured of returning toTacoma next year as the still-defending champions of the Pacific Lutheran University Relays, when thisyear's meet was canceled because of a light snow shower. The Vik thinclads won the relays last yearand stood a good chance to repeat before the cancellation was announced.

College in an extra inning affair, 10-9. Western, now 4-0,beat OCE on two seventh inning runs which brought argument from OCE coach Joe Caligure and aneventual official protest. With the Wolves leading 1-0, the rain began to drop heavily and both coachesagreed to make the seventh frame the final one. The Viks tied it when Mark Searing scored wtih one outon an Oregon College error that could have resulted in a double play, ending the game. With Searing on second and Keith Reynvaan on first, pitcher Don Balke hit one back to the mound, but the Wolfshortstop Doug Sawyer let the throw get past him into center field, allowing the tieing run to cross. AWayne Martin infield single loaded the bases and Ron Porterfield lined a base hit into center to win thegame. Caligure argued that the rain should have forced calling the game earlier in. the frame, whichwould have given OCE the win. The Wolves have been picked to win the Evergreen Conference title.
