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.

A t l e a s t 14 representativesfrom different companies and organizations will be on campus to interview students. 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.

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

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

Moral of thestory: If you want to survive in Bellingham, don't trust Jesus, he's been dead a lot longer than Tony.Suggestion: If you go it alone, you may not make it. Try to find someone to love.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

At notime were the Viks in any danger of losing the lead as they methodically widened the gap. The Wolveswere never able to recover from Western's first half surge finding themselves behind 46-25 at the half."They outfought and out-hustled us, particularly in the first half," Wolves Coach Bob McCullough, said ofWestern.

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

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

Quick wit, a truly pleasing personality,and remarkable mental control all combine in one ESPecially memorable entertainer. Earl Wilson of theNew York Post called Eagles a "tremendous showman." The late Ed Sullivan commented in the NewYork Daily News that Eagles show is "puzzling in nature, memorable in entertainment. A masterfulpresentation. . ." The London Times considers Eagles "incredibly staggering."

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."

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.

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.

JimMacKay finished with 13 as the only other EOC player in double figures. As a team the Mounties shot32.7 per cent from he field, hitting 20 of 61 tries. The Viks shot 47.4 per cent with 36 baskets in 76attempts. EOC outscored Western at the free throw line, making 22 of 27 tosses for 81.5 per cent asthe Vikings hit on 18 of 23 for 78.3 per cent.

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. Free throws by Western'sWendy Hawley and Trena Page and points scored from two steals by Alice Textor stretched the Viks'lead to 40-31 with 5:53 left in the game. Hemion had 16 points and Hawley had 13 points to lead theVikings to their 48-45 win. Western's second game of the day started with the UBC jayvees jumping to a quick 4-0 lead. Claudia Haaker's successful 6-footer, two free throws and an eight foot hookshot duringa two minute rally spurred the Viks onto a 9-8 lead. 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." Western's junior varsity ended its season Tuesday night with a 48-42 victory over the University of British Columbia Senior B team.

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. Randy Allanwas the only Falcon in double figures with 12 points as the Vikings held Vancouver's high-scoring Blake Iverson to only nine points. Iverson had scored 26 in a previous game with Western, won by the Viks,70-68, in a tight battle in Vancouver. Coach Gary Burch will lead his Little Blue into Seattle Wednesdayfor the final game of the season, a return match with the Seattle University junior varsity.

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.

Services claim cuts unjust by RICROFF SONJA BROWN Prefacing itsrecommendations on how to cut the budget of student services, the Ad Hoc Committee on StudentPersonnel Budget pointed to President Charles Flora's "apparent lack of insight and understanding" andthe Board of Trustees' "precipitous action based in part on eleventh-hour pleas." In its report to Dean ofStudents C. W. "Bill" McDonald on ways to cut the budget by 30 per cent, the committee, after meetingalmost daily for the past three weeks, urged McDonald to advise the president of the "grave concern"over the reduction, to request a formal audience before the Board of Trustees and to convince AcademicVice President Jerry Anderson and Business Manager Don Cole that the reductions be shared by otherareas besides those falling under the Dean of Students Office. In the face of what seemed to themunjust reductions, noting that library acquisitions were cut none at all, the committee (composed of RayRomine, associate dean, who chaired the committee; Dr. Kenneth Jernberg, director of the StudentHealth Service; Saundra Taylor, director of the Counseling Center; and Louis Lallas, director of theCareer Planning and Placement Office) made the following recommendations of where funds might becut: â€”$42,000 by transferring resident directors and aides to the Housing and Dining budget; -$10,000or $5,500 by reducing stipends to graduate students in student personnel administration; -$30,000 (in1973-74) by returning to financial aids federal overhead monies generated by that office; -$20,000 byreturning to the placement office monies generated by that office; -$11,000 by reductions in theCounseling Center; -$20,000 or $10,000. by reducing h e a l t h services budget; also recommended was the transfer of the health service to St. Luke's Hospital; â€”$53,213 by 10-month employe appointments; â€”$26,656 by 11-month employe appointments; $42,000 or $84,000 by assessing students a $2 or $4health fee. McDonald will present a "progress report" on the cuts at the Board of Trustees meeting,tentatively set for Jan. 10. 'Everyone is hurt, but no one is bleeding to death.' Dr. Kenneth Jernberg,director of Student Health Services, defended his area during testimony to the committee saying that3,000 students a quarter pass through its doors, and for some it is a service which enables them to stayin school. Those students who do not use it nevertheless have a right to expect a health service to beavailable, he said. In answer to Romine's belief that educational functions should have priority overservice functions, Dr. Jernberg testified that the main purpose of health services was indeed to providehealth care therefore regulating health e d u c a t i o n to second place. "However, we are now buildingprograms in nutrition and preventive health care into the service," he said. With the elimination of theCounseling Center students would lose a voluntary, free and confidential counseling service, which lastyear served 17 per cent of the student body, Saundra Taylor, director of the center, reported. About 800students a year have problems of "moderate severity," Taylor said, adding that close to 200 a year could "drop out of school without counseling." The Bellingham community would be unable to provide thepsychological crusading students need and workshops and self-study projects would not provide anadequate substitute. Associate and assistant deans defended their services, expressing a desire forstrong leadership and coordination of services. One suggestion for lifting the "fog" surrounding theirfunctions was clustering several of the services into a development center. Judging his office to beamong the most crucial to students Richard Coward of Financial Aids said the least effective servicesshould be cut rather than making across-the-board cuts. Louis Lallas, director of Career Planning andPlacement, pointed out the changes in the employment situation since 1969, which marks the end of an era of plentiful job opportunities. "More than ever graduates have to demonstrate job readiness and learn the skill of job seeking," he said. Ninety per cent of 1971-72 graduating seniors used his office's service, he added. The committee designed the proposal so as not to seriously eliminate any one service areaor personnel. But it was met with general disapproval by the student services heads. Romine stressedhis committee's efforts to find "loose and floating RAY ROMINE funds" rather than hurting one servicearea more than another. Coward termed the proposal as a "cop-out" by the committee since it "cuteveryone across the board." "I'm not for sorting people out," Coward said. "But the committee is takingthe easy way out. This way everyone is hurt but no one is bleeding to death." Coward further supportedhis feelings saying the committee's duty was to determine which services, met the student and college's need and that it should have found out what services it could do without. Assistant Dean Tim Douglascriticized the Board of Trustees' action in hastily accepting the Mitchell Report that detailed reductions incollege services. "We should go to the board and raise Cont. on pg. 9 Heating fuel rationing couldclose Western BLOOD THIRSTY-The King County Blood Bank obtained 186 pints of blood during itsTuesday drive at the Viking Commons and a bank spokesman called the drive a success.

There is a "dramatic possibility" of closures next quarter if the "middle-cut oil" Western'sphysical plant uses as a secondary fuel for heating comes under proposed government allocation plans,according to Gerald Brock, administrator of Western's business management office. Any decision toclose the college in the event of such an emergency would ultimately rest with College PresidentCharles Flora. Flora would not deny the possibility of closures but said he expects no shutdowns at thistime. There have been rumors of the possibility," Academic vice president Jerry Anderson said, "But weanticipate no closures yet." Anderson was confident that periodic closures would not affect theeducational process at Western. He said that all alternatives would have to be considered before anyshutdowns could occur. The basic heating fuel used at Western is natural gas, according to StuartLitzsinger, head of the physical plant. Because Western is on an "in terr up table-industrial" schedule,the plant has had to rely on industrial fuel oil for heating purposes as gas deliveries are being suspended"more and more," Litzsinger said. If the fuel oil is allocated under the government plan, Western wouldbe limited to using equal or less amounts of oil than were used last year. "We only had to switch to oilfor 58 days last year," Litzsinger said, "But this year we may have to rely on it for 90 to 120 days." As a result, Western may need 600,000 to 700,000 gallons of oil this winter as opposed to 300,000 gallonslast year. Under proposed government allocation plans which limit oil usage to last year's amountsWestern might be lucky to get even 300,000 gallons. This could mean that Western will get less thanhalf the oil it needs to heat the campus during Winter quarter. Interruptions in gas deliveries will continue until mid-April, according to Hal Munton, vice president of Cascade Natural Gas in Seattle, Western'ssupplier. Curtailments are due primarily to a reduction of gas coming from Canada, he said. Fuelallocations will probably go into effect this month, according to Herb Hunter, chief buyer in the division ofpurchasing for Washington State in Olympia. Hospitals and institutions will receive the highest prioritiesin fuel allocations, he said, but there is no guarantee that Western will get enough fuel to operate fully.Western's business office is studying plans that would allow the college to get more gas, but at a highercost, and only under a contract that would be binding for one year. The physical plant budget is alreadyunder stress, however, because of the high price of the fuel oil currently in use, Brock said. ---------- Western Front - 1973 December 7 - Page 2 ---------- '2'.r Western Front ' fnfoysU mbfr^, 1973^ Anderson grapples with crisis by JIM BROOKS Grappling with the worst budget crisis in Western's 75-year history is no easy task. But Jerry Anderson didn't expect it to be when he took on the challenge of vice president of academic affairs just 68 days ago. Since hisarrival at Western from Michigan, Anderson said he has had "feelings akin to the residents of Londonduring the blitz of the Second World War." Having dispensed with the usual "honeymoon" period to getadjusted in his new job, Anderson began by working 18-hour days toward solving the immediateproblems facing the campus. If the next legislative session votes to slash Western's appropriation, for1974-75 by $1.6-million due to the enrollment drop, Anderson now believes the college is prepared tomaintain quality education. Anderson said the goal has been to achieve zero reduction in personnelwhile preserving the quality and reputation of the college. "I've been very impressed with faculty, studentand community response in finding alternatives to deal with the short-term problems. At least, we will beable to sustain existing programs and honor our commitments to the students." He said that faculty andstaff are planning to share cuts in salary and take leaves. He has met with most departments in Arts and Sciences and the cluster colleges and found that "pride and professional commitment is still here."The maintenance of quality must be our number one concern. Any other position would be self-defeating. Unless we are responsive and maintain quality, we can only look toward a continuing decline inenrollment." Anderson said the "prevailing concept that Western is going to be nothing more than aglorified community college is absolutely not true." He said colleges in Michigan faced similarenrollment declines three years ago. And, that through careful, long-range planning, their enrollmentsstabilized and increased and the legislature responded accordingly. "I believe we can take pride that thescar tissue and disruption of our teaching-learning environment has been kept to a minimum as opposedto other campuses facing similar problems." He said he doesn't see "how the legislature can help but be highly responsive to our institution given its reputation for past accomplishments in its service to thepublic." Anderson rates Western in the top five in the nation for excellence among schools of its sizeand mission. He said there has been "a concerted effort to improve an atmosphere of trust and to keepopen the channels of communication which are so vitally necessary." "I am aware that the alternativesbefore us, in most cases, require some sacrifice on the part of faculty. But we hope these are onlytemporary measures." He looks for Western to emerge from its present dilemma and show favorableresults by the end of this academic year. "In the long run, we will be way ahead if we do our best job ofinternal long-range planning. We can emerge from this crisis stronger and better than ever before."Matters of immediate attention include : -A close look at academic and career advisement.â€”Curriculum analysis and the advoidance of course duplication, individualized learning and programs for students, re-examination of admission JERRY ANDERSON standards, repackaging of financial aid, a tt e n t i o n to career education complementing the liberal arts tradition, and reorganization of theacademic affairs division to be more responsive to the academic needs of the college. â€”A look at thecommittee structure to ensure that time and energy is not spent without receiving impact. "Through long-range planning, we can push onward and upward so we never again have to face this kind of crisis,"Anderson added. "We must all work together." _ / Visitors to judge Ecology, energy ideals collidedoctorate proposal Leona E.

During the remaining 27 years of the twentiethcentury, energy will be a key question. This will be the period of the energy "crunch," when demand willoutstrip available supplies. Nuclear power is proposed to be the main new source of power. It has beenstated in previous articles in this series that although nuclear power plants can be operated safely, thewastes are among the most poisonous substances known. Oil use will continue to rise, but is a finiteresource with a limited future. Coal will again become one of the most important fuels, as technologicala d v a n c e s improve its performance. Technological improvements for coal include the production ofhigh quality oil from coal. With most fuels, pollution is one of the main considerations Coal and oil bothproduce hydrocarbon pollutants, carbon monoxide and other chemical pollutants, as well as heatpollution. Nuclear fuels produce radioactive emissions and wastes and generate heat waste. Nuclearfusion, the power of the hydrogen bomb, is being researched. Within the past two years, Sovietscientists have made breakthroughs which make fusion a practical process, relatively pollution-free. The major problem with fusion lies in the extremely high temperatures which must be generated to beginand maintain the reaction. No material exists which can withstand the temperatures, over one milliondegrees Centigrade, so research is b e i n g done u t i l i z i ng electromagnetism as a shield.Electrolizing water into its c o m p o n e n t parts, and recombining them electrically, produces powerwhich could be used on large and small scale operations to produce power. Only one waste product isproduced - water. Hydrogen generation has been suggested as a feasible alternative to fossil fuel forrunning automobiles. Electrolytic converters have been suggested to produce power for homes. The sun is already being used in many places around the world on a small scale. In Japan, vinyl pillows placedon roofs heat water for home use, especially bathing. In the U.S., some housing developments are being c o n s t r u c t e d experimentally, utilizing solar-cell panels in roofs which transform the sun's energy ---------- Western Front - 1973 December 7 - Page 3 ---------- Friday, December 7, 1S gt;7 Western Front 3 AFT would keep faculty, cut fees by KEITH MYETTE(Ed. note: This is the final installment of a series tracing the growth of the local chapter of the AmericanFederation of Teachers.) Most state legislators have seen education as a commodity to be used for thebest interests of the community. With that is mind, Western was ordered to give back $1.62 million ofstate funds budgeted for students that didn't register last fall. This means a reduction in up to 100faculty positions, and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), largely composed of young,untenured teachers (who would be the first to go if reductions would be based on tenure and seniority)felt the crunch with the rest of the college community. Reductions were ordered because enrollmentfigures forecast by the state's Office of Program Planning and Fiscal Management (OPP FM) did notmaterialize. Gov. Dan Evans later vetoed the measure, but it will be brought up again this January. AFTposition papers insisted on the "primacy of the instructional program" and demanded that instructionalbudget cuts "come only after the exercise of every other possible means of saving money," but cutswere still forecast. Local AFT President J. Kaye Faulkner of the economics and business departmenthas tried (thus far unsuccessfully) to impress upon legislators the need to hold back on the cuts.Faulkner does not fit the stereotype of the professorial scholar. At home in the classroom or in the laborhall, Faulkner puts the problem facing the AFT quite simply: "We should be getting these bastards thatare oppressing us!" Faulkner has cultivated relationships with community and state labor leaders,playing down "the elite characterism, of We should get those bastards oppressing us. collegeprofessors" in discussions with labor. The local AFT chapter supported the oil chemical workers' strikeagainst Shell Oil last year, and Faulkner has expressed support for the striking retail clerks unionagainst the downtown Bon Marche. Languages face cut Unable to come up with concrete reductions infull-time equivalencies (FTEs), the foreign language department finds itself facing a sub-unit analysis bythe administration. Department chairman Walter Robinson said the department had been unable toguarantee around two of the seven FTSs r e q u i r e d in t he reduction-in-force policy of the college.The department was reduced from 19 to 12 FTEs in the Mischaikow report. Because of the uncertainties in the implementation of the reduction, the department's faculty has been reluctant to sign letters ofintent to participate in a reduction program. W e d n e s d a y , however; department members signed le t t e r s specifying which professor would do what in the reduction program. According to a Dec. 4memo to the department from the Academic Coordinating Committee (ACC), the letters of intent were tohave been signed and turned in by n o o n W e d n e s d a y or administration would have to start theirown sub-unit analysis in preparation to FTE reductions. The department's professors disagreecompletely with the policies of the Mischaikow committee in regard to reallocation and reduction inforce according to the letters signed Wednesday. The letter says the faculty signed "for humanitarianreasons" and agree to take part in the program. "If we do not- sign the letters," Eunice Faber said, "theadministration will implement its own sub-unit analysis for laying off faculty." Wednesday Loreh Webb of t h e ACC informed the department that they had already done a sub-unit analysis of the departmentand came up with reductions of 2.5 FTEs in French, 2 in German and Spanish, .25' in Russian andLinguistics, and none in- Classics. tf 7X gt;1^ Â£â€¢ HOLLY St. Di-C (dam _^^f gt;m_ ~MA!C% Sat.lOam-Sfn-s t^^~ * OM Wren's Â£ gt;cok,5 CootWkS Science Fiction. Faulkner sees Western'ssalvation lying with the legislature in January, and he has secured "explicit support" from the WhatcomCounty Central Labor Council, which represents most AFL-CIO affiliated unions in the county (the AFT is an AFL-CIO affiliate). The labor council has approved and sent to other councils a position papersupporting the right of faculty members to bargain collectively and strike,and ask for changes in tuitionand fees that would "enhance, rather than kill," the opportunities for working-class, students to attendcollege. According to Faulkner, this support would bind union lobbyists in Olympia to "massive support" for higher education funding. Besides asking for labor's lobby support, Faulkner plans to initiate acollege-wide faculty poll asking for institution of a collective bargaining agent, most likely the AFT. Most proposals aimed at easing the budget crisis were drafted by AFT members, i n c l u d i n g the Summer (Stanford) Plan, which would, in effect, hire professors for a three-quarter period. Besides keeping more professors employed by the college, the plan would stop older, tenured faculty members from teachingduring the summer session. A few members have resigned from the local AFT chapter, but Faulknersees the remaining It isn't another coffee club. We have an emotional commitment to action.'members (there are currently 167) as dedicated. "It is not simply another coffee club," he said. "We have an intellectual and emotional commitment \ to action." The increasing pace of the union's activities,which has drained Faulkner, has led to fewer meetings and more executive committee sessions, asituation Faulkner dislikes and promises to correct.. "Things have moved fast," he said. "We (theexecutive committee) are almost a shadow administration at this point." But he added, "You either trust us or you don't."

BonusQuestion: What is the answer to the bonus question? ---------- Western Front - 1973 December 7 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, l cember 7, 1973 Westerri Front editorial Cop-out charge wrong Boycott wines ^ ^^ ^^ The United Farm workers Sunnnrr fYimmirree here at 1 After hours of arduous meetings listening to heads ofstudent services tell their stories, the committee to recommend cuts decided not one service should beeliminated. The problem faced then was how to give students the same services for less cost â€” how topry loose the dollars without collapsing the edifice. Some termed it a "cop-out." They wanted only the"necessary" services to remain. A student is not going to need all the services all the time, but there aretimes when a student is going to need one of them â€” any one of them. This is the reason a totalprogram of services, without gaps, is needed. There are also those critics who say that a collegeenvironment is unnatural and that "all those services" make it even more unnatural, hence wrong. There is nothing unnatural about a college campus. If growth is natural then a campus can be the most natural ofplaces. The point of student services is that they either hold the student together so that he can grow orthey actively aid that growth. There is a cop-out the committee still has a chance of performing, however.That is, to fail to make heard that the services need reorganizing and that they need to be more visibleand available to the students and others on campus. The associate and assistant deans' functionsespecially need such clarification. Maybe Jerry Anderson, the new academic vice presidenr, is right:there are problems now, but there are opportunities. commentary Gay compliments 'warmth' "I wasbiased, having heard you speak before. I expected cold rhetoric â€” you extended warm feeling. Iexpected you to flaunt an attitude of aloof security-lost in your own trip to your own view of the world." Ihave been so engulfed by the warmth of the response to "Troubadour" from people here at Western, thatI can no longer contain my joy. Hence, I am compelled to share with you excerpts from letters I havevreceived. I too was biased while I was in preparation for this performance. I thought surely that peoplewould miss the essence, lose it in their judgements about my artistic ability or their struggle to maintain validity in the foundations of their bigotry. The oceans â€¢ of support from Alliance members inleafleting, having the tickets, programs, posters printed, etc. gave me no clue that this performance of"Troubadour" would be an especially humanistic experience for myself as well as others. " . . . Instead Iencountered vulnerability, love, and concern for others . . . I found grains of tolerance as you spoke ofoppression â€” I was awaiting bitterness. S o , excuse me for my expectations and thanks for your giftof self." When I walked off the stage during the first night's experience, I went to my dressing room torecuperate from the tremendous emotional trauma. I sat for awhile with my head in my hands trying tostop my tears. When I looked up, the room was full of people, all looking at me, who had been standingquietly as I put myself together. I smiled and found m y s e l f i n s t a n t a n e o u s ly submerged in acommunal hug. " . . . I t has long been observed that much of the prejudice against gay people isderived from reaction in heterosexuals to fears about their own latent sexual tendencies." The secondnight my mother was there. Also my great aunt, also my lover's mother. I knew that my actions thatevening would be forever bronzed in their minds from then on. I felt every second on stage to be climatic. I was exhausted after my first few opening lines. I wanted to walk off and forget this whole business.Thank God I didn't. " . . . Although predominantly heterosexually-oriented, I occasionally find myselfphysically attracted to other men. For awhile, after I recognized and admitted this to myself, I found itdisturbing, almost frightening. I have, however, come to accept this as not unnatural; certainly the gayliberation effort has had an influence in my change in attitude. God bless you." When my mother walked up to me that night and hugged me, saying, "Honey, that was beautiful," something I've been waiting all my life to hear, when people that I've never met began to approach me on campus and in broad daylightgreet me with handshakes, hugs, and even kisses, and when these wonderfully uplifting letters, notes,and phone calls arrive in the office, I know it has all been worth it. I've never known any artistic orhumanistic endeavor on my part to have been such a fulfilling experience. For what it's worth these days, I love you all.

ADVISER: Pete Steffens TheUnited Farmworkers Support Committee here at Western has begun a boycott campaign against Gallowines as part of its regular activity. This effort is part of a nationwide campaign now underway in supportof the U.F.W., which is on strike against Gallo. The Farmworkers signed a contract with Gallo, the largest domestic wine producer, in 1967. This contract was renewed in 1970. However, when it came up forrenewal this vear. Gallo refused to sign, and instead signed an agreement with the Teamsters Union.They did this as part of an attempt by the California growers to bust the U.F.W., which through itsorganizing efforts has for the first time won basic rights for farm labor in this country. Farm workers,mostly Chicano, are one of the most oppressed and underpaid sections of the work force. They arespecifically excluded from present labor legislation, and therefore cannot call for a N.L.R.B. election tosettle the question of which they want to belong to. For that reason, the Gallo field workers had no choice but to go out on strike to support their right to be represented by the U.F.W. The Teamsters Unionleadership has no interest in improving the lot of agricultural labor. If they did, they would simply keep out, and not disgrace the labor movement by aiding the big growers in an attack on the U.F.W. Recentrevelations about Teamster contributions to the Nixon reelection campaign, in return for a halt to a federalinvestigation of misuse of Teamster pension funds, shows the real character of the present Teamsterleadership. Gallo wines include "Boone's Farm," "Spanada," "Tyrolia," "Ripple," "Thunderbird," "RedMountain" and "Raisano," as well as the "Gallo" brand. Any wine with "Modesto, Calif." on the label ismade by Gallo. The U.F.W. Support Committee here is asking students not to purchase these wines.Presently, however, the boycott campaign here in Bellingham is centering on convincing local merchantsnot to stock Gallo products. This effort has already met with considerable success, with the FairhavenTavern, Cal's Tavern, Pete's Tavern and the Wine Cellar all agreeing not to purchase any further Galloproducts when their current supply is sold out. The committee is planning to work from this base ofsupport until all retailers have agreed not to stock Gallo wine. Those who are unwilling to comply with theboycott will have their names published on a list to be distributed among local students and tradeunionists. Aside from the Gallo boycott campaign, the Farmworkers Support Committee here is regularlyengaged in- picketing Safeway and carrying out a variety of other activities. The committee holds regularweekly meetings which are open to . all interested individuals. These meetings are held every Thursday at 7:30 p.m. in the MECHA office, Room 010 Viking Union. Karl Foreman United Farmworkers SupportCommittee letters 'Right on' housing ad implies sexual bias Editor, Western Front: We would like toquestion an advertisement which seems sexist to us. The housing advertisement of Nov. 16 pictures ayoung man looking at a book The Calculus. The words run "Why walk a mile for a class? Live close. Live on. Housing 676-2950." Because of the macho appeal, it seems n e c e s s a r y to read theadvertisement with a hip and rugged voice. "Right On" conveys a very sexual base tinge. The young man is hard as evidenced by his scarf and general aura, yet a "pretty boy." The Michael Landon, Mark Spitz "I drink milk" sex model that sells both milk and sex. We do not know if this is all conscious or sub-conscious, it would seem both. If housing advertises they are saying on-campus housing is not justordinary, but better than ordinary. And so the young man has everything because he does live on-campus, or will. He has "brains," observe the Calculus book he is holding. It is our hypothesis that thisyoung man would not be presented with a music book in hand, not an art book, not a language book,since none . of these would fit the somewhat "cool image." The young man appears more analyticalthan emotional, as men have been so characterized for centuries. Areas of study are seemingly dividedinto their respective analytic-masculine a n d emotional-feminine categories. As a fashionableheterosexual male, the women are "just implied." This young man is what women are supposed to want and men are supposed to want to be like. This young man is thus "sold" by housing to the consumer.There are other messages certainly. The hole in his shoe shows he will be better off living on campus . .. but we did not even notice this until pointed out to us. We are posing our own biases certainly, but wehave obtained them through such advertising as this. We are urging that some consideration be given to matters of this sort in hopes of surpassing our stereotyped, commercialized notions. We would invitereplies from housing, The Front and others.

The Passage first appeared on the streets in 1969. It was one of the manyalternative papers which sprang up in the discontent and turbulence of the late 1960s. Circulation is now4,200. "Obviously," said John Brockhaus, Passage worker, "the Bellingham Herald is very right-wing.The Passage serves as an outlet for a lot of people in Bellingham, Seattle and points in between, whoseinterests aren't reported by even the more liberal papers." The Passage has a distinct, rather low-keystyle which separates it from other alternative papers such as the Berkeley Barb or Los Angeles FreePress. Four-letter words are used with discretion, and sexist language and ads are carefully screenedout. A policy was adopted last fall to eliminate the universal "he" in material submitted to the Passageand replace it with "he/she". The content of the Northwest Passage reflects the people working on it. One issue may be mostly "down home funk" and another, "hard core , political stuff," Brockhaus said. ThePassage calls itself a "fortnightly journal of ecology, politics, the arts and good healthy living." Each ofthese take turns being the outstanding feature. For a while the Passage had a very strong ecologicalflavor. Although the environmental bend has never diminished, the content gradually moved to back-to-the-land articles, such as goat raising, organic gardening and other related topics. Currently it has lostsome of its country flavor and increased its political content. Articles printed in the Passage arecontributed by members of the community and staff and are completely unpaid. Anyone can work on the paper. Editorship is rotated each issue among gt;Jjiose fairly experienced with Passage production.Recently a cooperative editorship has been tried. Passage staff member and part-time Western studentBilly Patz explained that there are fewer students on the paper at present. "Most of the workers now arefrom the community (Southside) so there's more community orientation." This system of a totallyvolunteer paper is not without its problems. Often the paper seems to be on the verge of collapse.Complete turnovers in the staff take place frequently. No one currently working on the paper began with itfour and a half years ago. The staff doesn't do as much of the writing these days because of fewermembers, and so less time. Community sources are depended on for news and events. Most of the staffworkers are "self-taught journalists with no previous experience. "The kind of people who relate to thePassage don't commit themselves â€” people just don't stay with one thing too long anymore," saysPatz. "We often think about ways to get people interested, but are successful only to a certain degreebecause of today's culture." It is hard to generalize about just who works for the Passage. People comeand go. fortnightly journal of ecology, politics, the arts and living.' Financial problems are also commonfor an alternative newspaper in a small city. The main crisis, insists Brockhaus, is the people working on the paper; or lack of them. He has doubts as to whether the spirit of volunteerism is still around, andfears that unless "some way is found to pay a few coordinators; chances are fair that it (the Passage)may fold." "But not" he added, "in the near future." Many people have been burned out trying to keep the paper together because they also have to spend time working for a livelihood. After a certain point, thelimitations imposet all-volunteer paper finds some who have lot of time to it to move on.iVith a fewmembers, Brockhaus felt, the quality Passage would improve.

The source of the eats wasn't Saga, but a boarding house on High Street â€”and the year was 1899. In 1889 Fairhaven was a thriving community with a salmon cannery and fishingfleets. Bellingham had a respectable 22,000 people. Holly Street was a plank road. The campus itselfwas dotted with logs and stumps, much of it was swampy and students had to walk on boards to keepfrom getting their feet soaked. Life wasn't all that easy in the opening year of "New Whatcom NormalSchool", as Western was called then. A history of the school, called "The First Fifty Years," was writtenin 1949 by a group of faculty members. This brief work provides a vivid glimpse into the lives of the early"pioneers." "Students were scattered all over town in rooms furnished in many cases with a cheap rentfor Western washstand or a box used for that purpose, a table and a bed," the authors explain. Therewas a bright spot however - the principal's wife often combed the streets of Bellingham for studentlodgings at her husband's request. Apparently, women's lib had not yet come into vogue. The 264students attending Whatcom Normal were at no loss for recreation, we are told. There were "steamerexcursions," up and down Lake Whatcom and hikes along Chuckanut Drive, "then a narrow, steep,dangerous trail." For the more intellectually inclined there were the joys of the "Thespian Club", and five"literary societies" were set up in the first year. Dramatic troupes went in small boats to islands(presumably the San Juans) or "traveled rough corduroy roads . . . to little lamp-lighted school houses."Due to the high percentage of Swedes, Finns and Norwegians enrolled, an entire play of Shakespearemight be heard in a thick Scandanavian accent.

His hour-and-a-half set, his first liveappearance in eight months, featured a number ot Sleepy John Estes tunes, some Joseph Spencesongs and such obscure "classics" as "I Caught a Stranger in the House and I Busted Him With aClub," "Call Jesus on the Mainline and Tell Him What You Want" and a song about Billy the Kid,referred to by Cooder as "a snotty, half-wit slob." Personally, it was his stringwork that was impressive.In his hands the mandolin, usually a rather unobtrusive instrument, became a powerful, train-rolling forcebehind the vocals. His guitar playing was likewise fine - particularly the bottleneck stuff. There was aquality in his vocals that turned me off once or twice which is not to say his singing wasn't strong (itwas) or appropriate to the songs (it was). It just seemed that this young and talented White man's vocals were the result of a studied reproduction of the Black men w h o s e music he was predominantlyusing. Which brings me to the excellent film about 75-year-old Black singer-philosopher ManceLibscomb that preceded Cooder's set. Libscomb's rural, h a r d t i m e s b a c k g r o u nd produced anauthentic musical idiom that expressed very personal feelings about the human condition. Cooder'sHollywood hills reproductions of Sleepy John, for example, expressed the life-view of the man but failedto e l i c i t t h e d e ep e m o t i o n al-personal-attachment - to life of the original. Perhaps Cooder'suse of a small amplifier added to this effect. Perhaps I quibble. N o t w i t h s t a n d i n g thesereservations, Cooder's set contained many fine moments, the audience was very appreciative (a three-song encore was the result of a standing ovation) and the Program His mandolin became a GRRDGflSTREET GRRDGflS herb 1408 Garden St. I PLANTS |j SEEDS i i cactus | |g DISH GARDEN or ^H TERRARIUM PLANTS' || H and SUPPLIES |Â§ I f FOLIAGE PLANTS |S H PLANTERS ^ fÂ§ OPENSUNDAYS || ,MT.

Coward alsoexpressed dissatisfaction with library's book aquisition fund as unnecessary since having so manybooks for so few students was futile. Activities budget axed 13% The AS government anddepartmentally related activities such as drama, men's and women's athletics and musical organizations will suffer from 10 to 13 per cent budget cuts over the next six months because of decreasedenrollment. The departmentally related activities budgets, totalling $255,286 under last spring's estimate of 7,462 full fee paying students, will be reduced by $33,357 to $221,929 coming from the actual figureof approximately 7,000 full fee paying students. The AS will take an approximatley 10 percent cut bylosing $15,000. Each of the full fee paying students pay $ 11.10 out of their tuition and fees for thedepartmentally related activities. The AS receives an additional $6.40 from each student. Informed onMonday of the exact amount of money to be lost, representatives from each activity decided to take theloss equally with each activity losing between 12.9 and 13 per cent. I n c l u d e d in t he departmentally related budget is the operation of the Viking Union. Of its $94,193 all but four thousand dollars goes forsalaries. The AS was at least partially ready for the cuts. A reduced enrollment reserve fund of $5,000was set up at the start of the quarter in preparation of the cuts.

K. JOHNSON The jinx of Royal Brougham Pavillion is still frustrating Western basketball teams. Wednesday evening theVikings never overcame their first game jitters and dropped a lackluster 66.-49 contest to Seattle Pacific College in Seattle. Today and tomorrow, the Vikings will be in Tacoma participating in the DaffodilTournament hosted by the University of Puget Sound. Western will play UPS tonight at 8 p.m. and willface either the winner or loser of the Portland State-Fresno State game. Wednesday evening, Westerncould not get untracked offensively. After taking an early 4-2 lead on baskets by Chuck Fisher and RobVisser, the Vikings went into a six-minute cold spell that enabled the Falcons to establish a lead thatwas never headed. Seattle Pacific's Mark Stream erupted for six of his 10 first-half points late in theinitial period to propel the Falcons to a 22-10 lead. The Vikings closed within nine points on baskets byKeith Lowry and Visser with 1:18 remaining, but Stream's passing and scoring propelled SPC to a 28-17 halftime advantage. Battling back from a 13-point deficit early in the second hal" the Vikings, pulledwithin seven points on a Fisher basket with 15:18 left to play. It was as close as Western got the rest of the night. The Falcons capitalized on Western turnovers and used a fast break offense during the nextsix minutes to breeze to a commanding 51-31 lead. The biggest Falcon lead came with 4:48 left to playwhen SPC's Nate Townsend's jumper gave the Falcons a 60-35 lead. Craig Nicholes, Jim Hotvet andChris Brown finally caught fire late in the contest to bring Western within 17 points as the final buzzersounded. Other than lack of scoring power, Western failed to rebound aggressively against their shorteropponents, giving the Falcons two and sometimes three shots at the hoop in order to score. Visser, atransfer from Grays Harbor Community College, was the workhorse for the Vikings, leading the Big Bluewith 11 points and pulling down 14 rebounds. Hotvet was Western's second leading scorer with eightpoints, followed by Dick Bissell with six. Stream led the winners with 18 points, followed by Al Peelerwith 12. Western's junior varsity watched a seven-point halftime lead melt away as the Falcon juniorvarsity rallied to a 70-62 victory. Western is now 0-1 on the year while Seattle Pacific is 3-0.

Western coach Ralph Vernacchia hasexpressed great satisfaction with the progress of the team. None of the girls on the team had run cross-country before this season. It is hoped that the success of this year's team will provide the impetus for a much improved women's cross-country program at Western. Tankers ready for wef season With onlyone returning letterman, Western's men's and women's swim teams will be facing an extremely uphillbattle in one of the toughest areas of the country this season. The Viks will face such expectedopponents as Pacific Lutheran University, second in the NAIA championships last season; CentralWashington, perennial Evco champions; Southern Oregon College, last year's Evco champion andHighline Community College, one of the strongest community college teams in the Northwest. Theschedule of times and dates for the teams is still being drawn up by the athletic departments of thevarious schools. The first meet is expected to be held several weeks'into Winter quarter. The 10member men's team will be led by Paul Simmerly, lone letterman and finalist in the 100 and 200 yardbreast strokes and medley relay in the Evco championship meet last year. One performer from last year, Robin Allen, diver, is a possible performer. Other competitors on the predominantly freshman teaminclude Bob Lytke, Jeff Smith, Greg Laing, Mark Davis, Bill Sawhill, Darrell Kimmerly, Joe Coverson, JeffMickle, and Doug Danner.

The semi-finals of the women's volleyball tournament wasscheduled to be held Wednesday evening. The four teams remaining in the competition are theLeftovers, BSU All-Stars, Go-Getters and Stripling's. In racketball, Rob Harcus won the men's titledefeating Rugby squad to play UW behind gym An even win-loss record will be the goal of Western'srugby team as it will face the University of Washington behind C a r v e r Gym tomorrow afternoon in the last game of the first half of the season. The second team, with a 3-1-1 record, will begin the action at 1 p.m. and the first team, 3-4, will take over at 2:30 p.m. After tomorrow's games the ruggers will rest until the start of the second half of the season in February. The top teams of each school will be fairlyclosely matched as far as season records are concerned. The UW, at 3-3, boasts two all-stars fromEngland and more experienced backs. The Viks will be coming off a two-week layoff as their game lastweekend against Surrey rugby club in Surrey B.C. was cancelled because of field conditions. After aslow start due chiefly to inexperience, Western has come on strong, with recent wins over WashingtonState University and the Seattle Rugby Club. Western combined with the best of the Chuckanut BayRugby Club for the win over Washington State. Paul Gawenko. Cindi Scott captured the women's titledefeating Nori Bowman. Nine men and four women competed Nov. 20 in the second annual turkey trot in which two men and women won turkeys for Thanksgiving. Myrnie McCormick was the fastest womanaround the two-mile course, covering the distance in 11:36. Kristine Olsen came closest to her predicted time, being off only 3:47. Dean Powers was the fastest man around the three-mile course, covering thedistance in 18:13.3. Jeff Schultz came closest to his predicted time, being off 34 seconds. In swimming competition, Syd Jacobs won the 550 meter breast stroke and the 100 meter individual medley to taketop honors for the women. Bruce Johnson won the 100 meter individual medley and the 50 meterbackstroke while Don Williams won the 50 meter freestyle and fly competition for the men. Nextquarter, men and women's basketball, racketball and swimming will be offered. In addition, wrestling andhandball will also be offered for the men. Dick Bartsch, director of Intramurals, suggested that ifstudents would like to see a particular sport or event offered, to contact him or leave a note at CarverGym 112 or 182. Western's Club basketball team, the Pele Fires, looks for their second win in a rowtomorrow when they take on Capilano College in West Vancouver, B.C. Tipoff time is scheduled for 7:30. The Fires, fresh off a rather convincing win over British Columbia Tech last Sunday, are regionalsgame. The Viks won the second game 16-14. The Viks then threw a scare into Portland StateUniversity, defending regional champs, by winning the second game before bowing 15-9, 13-15, 15-9.The tired Western team could no nothing against the University of Oregon Ducks in the last Fridaymatch, losing on their own mistakes 15-5, 15-4. Starting out fresh on Saturday the Viks came frombehind in both games to defeat Eastern Oregon, 16-14, 16-14. Lack of concentration appeared to beWestern's downfall in the first playoff game, against the University of Washington. The Huskiescapitalized on Viking mistakes to win easily, 15-4. 15-3. Next year's squad should have an abundance of experience as only one starter, Kathy Dooley and reserve spiker, Bev McKissick will be lost throughgraduation. a team that plays in spurts. The Fires lost their first two games of the year, then won four ina row, dropped two more and now are, hopefully, on another positive tangent following Sunday's win over B.C. Tech. The Fires are a young team, consisting of three sophomores and eight freshmen, and" are"starting to jell," according to coach Pete Burns. "We're playing more together now than even before this season. We're becoming a 'team' team." Burns cites a tough, "man to man" defense as the team'sstrongest attribute. Their biggest weakness, he points out, is their inconsistent snooting. The Fires shotonly 28 percent from the floor in their last loss, a 71-66 upset administered by a team from the WhidbeyIsland Naval Air station. The Fires have picked up wins over the faculty-alumni teams from Ferndale,Sehome, Meridian and Bellingham high schools. Their losses have been at the hands of AAU teamsfrom Victoria and Vancouver, B.D., the Nooksack Valley alumni and the Whidbey base team.Individually, Burns is very pleased with the recent emergence of postman Mike Anderson and forwardBrad Potter. The 6-4 Potter, a freshman from Longview, has been particularly impressive, averaging 18points per game during the last three contests. He scored 21 against B.C. Tech in a limited appearancewhich saw him sprain an ankle and lose a tooth. VfKmQ Sounders SCUBA LESSONS WINTERQUARTER Limited Class Size Register Now!

AS President John Wolfe attributed Wilson'sresignation, recommended in a vote of the Front staff, to the staff's "basic mistrust" of the ASgovernment. Wolfe said that recent decisions by the AS board of directors which assure winterpublications funding through the comptroller's office and provide for one more publications representativeon the AS Communications Council were intended to soften that "mistrust.".. Wolfe told the senate atits last meeting that its start at implementation of the publications council was an unnecessary andsecondary action in light of the board's actions. Since then, the senate has voted, 23-5, in a mail ballot,to submit the publications council to an early Winter quarter vote of the students. If approved by thestudents, the publications council would become the fourth council of the senate. The senate'scommittee on councils and committees would recommend the new council's structure, and the newcouncil itself would recommend its policy, both subject to senate approval. "Tremendous," said Fronteditor Rodger Painter, when told the results of the ballot. "I'm glad that this on-going hassle may soon be resolved."

JANUARY 26th - THEGENIUS OF RANDY NEWMAN Newman is one of those highly adored cult figures with many people, butjust as many have yet to discover his wit and wisdom. He is a songwriter's songwriter. Harry Nilssonrecorded a whole album of just Randy Newman songs and one of Three Dog Night's earliest hits wasNewman's "'Mama told Me Not to Come." In fact, so many people have recorded songs by Randy Newman that everyone has heard a Newman tune at one time or another, whether you know it or not! A publicappearance by this notorious recluse is an event - And this will be his first ever and only appearance inthe Northwest!! FEBRUARY 16th - THE MICHAEL WHITE ENSEMBLE Whoever heard of WeatherReport?! Whoever heard of the Paul Winter Consort?! Whoever heard of Michael White?! Michael Whiteplays the violin. In years past he has appeared with performers like John Handy, Pharoah Sanders andJerry Hahn, as well as being a founding member of the excellent, but short-lived, Fourth Way. His presentgroup is one of the finest collections of musicians alive. Ed Kelley plays piano majestically, Prince Lashais the reed wizard and Kenneth Nash plays all sorts of percussion.

The slugs, ranging from four feet in height and up have been bred espcially for the growingstuffed slug culinary industry. Several of the slugs, originally thought to be harmless, overpowered ascientist and two guards at a secret research installation and slimed them to death. The slugs breedrapidly and travel at alarming speed for creatures so large. They are easily killed when seen, but theirnocturnal habits and resemblence to piles of trash make them hard to detect. People are cautioned thatthe slugs are especially dangerous when cornered or wounded. The killer slugs are especially fond ofbeer, and several taverns have been attacked and taken over by the slugs. 11 has been difficult to getescaping tavern patrons and residents to call the police. The people are afraid the slugs arehallucinations. A favorite tactic of the slugs is to crash through back doors of houses to get at therefrigera- tors. One slug was recaptured after crashing a house in suburban Vancouver and breaking intothe liquor cabinet. When overpowered, the slug was comsuming expensive Scotch and quality Cubancigars while watching a re-run of the Untouchables. People are advised to barracade their back doors and to be very careful about how they answer the front one. A case of beer near the garbage cans with a tripwire alarm might deter the slugs long enough to split the scene, but fast! How To Cope When Cork Pops For the survival minded, the Passive has compiled some helpful suggestions in coping with a futureenvironment that appears inevitable in light of the awesome nuclear capabilities of the major powers.When the cork is popped and the earth is scorched, be sure and keep a folded copy of these tips in yourtattered jeans. 1) waterâ€”a questionable commodity to locate since the terrain of the nuclear wastelandwill not conform to present day topography. Should one adapt to the new "quality" of the crust and lowertin can, garbage pail etc. tied to strips of cloth until a splash is heard. Trial and error is very important inthis technique. 2) fuelâ€”sources of energy will be in short supply then as they are now. But heated caves will be of comfort. Burnt stumps of trees, chipped with the sharp edge of arock until the outer layer isremoved will reveal slightly radioactive, but burnable wood. Be sure to locate new honestead in area oncedesignated "forested.". 3) food-contrary to past attitudes that vegetation is sufficient for survival, theenvironment of the future will dictate new conditions. Since all vegetation will be defunct, food sources will be restricted to the already dead and cooked carcasses of the animal world. Once again radioactivitymust be adapted to. Storage will also be a problem. Such an acute one, incidentally, that the Passiveregrets that it has not the answer. 4) socializationâ€”in the past, has led to close ties amongst groups,while at the same time designating "others" as enemies. Ergo, defense systems were built. In the future,all groups, communities, states and nations should be avoided in order to prevent the situation you havejust found yourself in! page 2 USING YOUR OWN . . . TO GROW YOUR OWN . . . by art a. chokesHi. You wonder just what the headline means? Simply, in just two words, it's fertilizer and dope. That'sright, fertilizer, or more potently, you OWN fertilizer to grow your OWN dope. You think I'skidding? I'mnot. Some of the best shit around today is being grown with human excrement and if you are like I am,smoking shit has become such a habit, that you've started growing your own. But most likely you aren'tusing your own to grow your own and if you aren't then . . . well, the thought is just sickening to me. Youare obviously smoking someone else's shit raised in someone else's shit. Therefore, I 've taken thedelicate task of telling you what to do to grow your own while using your own, starting from consumptionand blast-off toretrivation. To begin with, I should note that in growing your dope this way it costs youonly $1.49 fur a butterfly net, perhaps $2 for a silver spoon and around $20 for a good set of pots andpans. Most importantly, the shit has to be at least a foot high before the fertilizer is used so that whenapplication of the dung comes (dunger time), it does not shock the hell out of the plants system. (If theplant is any smaller than a foot, it can die before contact is made. Plants are sensitive. They KNOW.)Once fertilizer is applied to the plant, you must water like mad or the plant will collapse of dehydration.The plant will not die but just collapse. When it is watered, it will shudder right back up fine. B and Sbaked beans, corn, prune juice and radishes I find are the best things to eat and should be measured out in even portions, brought to a boil, simmered for five minutes and then allowed to cool before drinking.That's right, this is the consumption partâ€”so vital to plant health, growth and welfare during its body-building days. The only drawback here is that painfu I diarrhea may occur, making the fertilizer totallyinaccessible to netting after blast-off. It has been found by my talking to others that taking deepbreaths helps to relax this situation a little. However, it doesn't do anything else. I f at first you don'tsucceed, try, try, again. After awhile your body will become accustomed to fighting the mixture atconsumption and therefore dispose of it in appropriate, firm little pebbles. Immediately following asuccessful launch (blast-off) is where the $1.49 butterfly net and silver spoon come in (retrivation). Withpractice you will soon be able to retrieve the fertilizer blindfolded and might even want to. Noseplugs arerelatively inexpensive so you may want to use them also. Clothes pins will also work. What you do isgive the net a qu ick right twist with your wrist, plunge downward and then snap it back. Will you besurprised! It works! Once retrivation is over, the flight is a success. I t's now dungertime and you shouldinstantly apply the fertilizer to the plant in order to prevent the shit from becoming stagnant. It can lost its potency while the plant can die during this time. {11 does no good to try talking to the plants. Theyseem to refuse listening to anyone at this stage). Finally comes application time. By taking the silverspoon you should mash the fertilizer thoroughly while adding water. By making holes in the dirt the plantis growing in (with spoon handle) you can pour the solution into the roots of the plant. The dirt may bevery hard. This is because the plant in its defense has drained all water from the vase, thereby creatingan almost patrif ied rock. The lighting you installed during the dopes early growing period should now beremoved completely from the plant. No light should be allowed to reach the plant from now until harvesttime (when plant is three to 12 feet tall). For some strange reason, it will now thrive on darkness. Afterharvest, will you ever be surprised! It is extremely potent shit. And there you have it. I started growing my plants about two weeks ago after learning this process and have had to raise the roof of my closet twice. The plants are now 12 feet high. Remarkably, the dope smokes smooth and light and liaves a faintscent of burning rubber. I also find a slight after-taste of Georgia-Pacific lingering until well after I 'vesmoked it. (People living in Bellingham find this to be true. However, I have talked to people in Everettwho have tried this method and they find Weyerhauser lingering.) My biggest problem now is what to doabout the loud erruptions and rushes of stale air from the closet. Sound-proofing and insulatation have not taken care of the hassle. Otherwise, there have been no other problems with this fun and easy process. Anyway, it's worth it. Enjoy your SELF and stay high. CRYPTIC Plans are being formulated for the new student co-op cemetery to be laid out in Red Square. The cemetery is one of the many projects of therecently created "Class on death," and is designed for those students doing research for the classesrather extensive final examination. Lowell Z. Plotz, the cemeteries coordinator, sees the cemetery as amarvelous undertaking. "All the students are excited about it, and really wsant to participate." Plotzstressed that student involvement, the cooperative effort, is what will make go. "I n fact," he said, "with all that's going on, I expect a lot of business. That's why we've reserved a special section for the untenuredfaculty." Plotz emphasized that business will be good this time of year, because students see thecemetery as a viable alternative to going home with their grades. "And they don't have to pay back theirNational Defense loan," Plotz said enthusiastically. "Boy, it's just erally neat how all the students aregetting involved, ya know?" They really like getting their hands into old mother earth," said Plotz. And forthose cooperative students, Plotz is planning a special treat. Inspired by the famous Firest LawnMortuary in L.A., where visitors can see film clips of a famous movie star at their grave site, Plots has his own line of special "casket features," to lend comfort to the departed and the departee. I n the crypts ofdeparted English Majors, there will be continuous showing of that epic film, "Ma and Pa Kettle meetBeowulf." For the ecology buggs there are giodegradeable caskets, and for Campus Christian Fellowshipthere are piped in tapes of Billy Graham. Second Coming enthusiasts will have caskets with special trapdoors. As the cemetery is getting "underway," Lowell has begun a novel based on the project. "Thecharacterization is a little stiff," he said. "But the plot is really great." oorpfjffe 5lugPreder VoO WILLMBEJD^ C? *- lt;*Â»***y^. 8~ 12, ClKÂ£-beM "SLOGS ( SPOOMPUl_ TOTKSCO/Hr/\ C-Wr^ O Z.

Resident number 67352290 MonroeState Reformatory ETRAINING day, when all values are being challenged and being discarded, somehave been left un-ed, taboo, as it were, even to the most hard-socialist individualists, we've all heardthose bathroom gutter jokes the taboo subjects, but after many hours of nplative study, concludedsomething had to ie. taboo subject to which I am referring, is of , defecation. I mean, shit. This subjecthas eft untouched too long. It's the age-old a f the turd inthe punchbowl, y, i asked myself, do 200 million Amerikans sit eyes forward, feet planted firmly on the floor, as if at some kind of perverse call of"Attention!"? because, i concluded, nobody ever questioned the autoiritarian principle behind it (so tospeak) which goes back to toilet training. Not without plan is the fact that the damage is done early, soearly that no one remembers it. How can one expect to question something they don't even remember. Idid extensive research and found that this fascist Amerika has spent millions for cancer research, butNOT ONE PENNY for research into defecation! My destiny all but slapped me in the face one day, while i meditated. It came so hard that i nearly fell off the stool. How could i have been so constipated for somany years, to accept this fascist mathod of defecation? i asked myself, i felt like kicking myself in theass. The very next time nature called, i began my investigation of alternative methods the counter-culture might use to advantage to break away from th is Amerikan pattern. The first new alternagive i tried outwas this. I stood on my head over the toilet bowl, with my feet straight up in the air. This didn't work verywell. The next time, i tried thesame basic position, but with my legs drawn up into the lotus position,with my head pointed down, but in the opposite direction this time. The results were similar, i didn't needa third try to assure myself there must be a better way. I did need another shower. I n order to clear mymind of past propagandistic indoctrination, i tried fasting. This did not produce the desired results, so ibegan a steady diet of prunes and Explax. I found this allowed the creativity to flow much more freely. I n the next few weeks, i must have tried a thousand different ways to defecate. Some of the moresuccessful ones were: Clumbing a flagpole (i imagine a telephone pole would do in a pinch) whilemeditating on the mystical sound OM. Squatting off the back end of a fast-moving truck, while holding on tight to the ra[ling, while talking in tongues, as loudly as possible. This method is highly recommended,but watch for the State Patrol and be careful of the wind chill factor in winter. Exposure might beembarrassing to explain to either a trooper or a hospital attendant. i finally came up with the BESTmethod of all, which is not at all what my authoritarian parents or first grade teacher said was nroper.With my feet firmly placed on the bowl of the toilet, i faced backwards towards the wall, on which hadbeen placed a picture of Richard M. Nixon and his dog Checkers, and chanted Kizzmaiaz, kizzmaiaz atthe top of my lungs. The combination never failed to produce the desired reaction, and the positon itselfallows one to peruse the entire wall area for graffiti in the absense of a picture of Nixon, i do recommendthat everyone carry a picture of him, to places where none are available and you are feeling a bit irregular. Remember, the family that shits together showers together. '5 "O TkSTE. Dlfc_E.CT\ONJS â€¢CM"CW: ^LU6S .PUKCE- IM A, LMUiE.

"Air quality tests indicate that the atmosphere in most large cities is unfit for human consumption, so we decidedthat the best way to rectify the situation is to ban breathing," an EPA spokesperson said. To enforce the breathing ban, the EPA is equipping special "breath partols" with sonic lung analysis kits. The patrolswill take spot checks of passing motorists and pedestrians . anyone found to have air in his/her lungs will be subject to an indefinite banishment to the suburbs. Nasel Sticks Nose Up At Gravity Consumptionadvocate Ralph Nasel recently called for Congress to repeal the law of gravity as the "first progressivestep towards conserving our vital energy resources." The natural energy that is wasted on "just keepingthings down to earth" could be harnessed for clean industrial power, Nasel said. Nasel pointed out that ifthe law is repealed all immobile objects could be anchored to the ground and people could carry leadweights in their pockets. "I n the face of the current energy crisis, it is ridiculous to allow this waste ofnatural energy resources on keeping things in place," Nasel said. T.V. Out Of This World Rumors havebeen spreading across the United States that television sets are in reality aliens from the planet Darvon,who have come to take over the world. Although NASA, CBS and the FCC all deny these allegations,thousands of people have either disappeared completely or become frozen in a sitting position for yearsreciting over and over "good-night David, good-night Chet." More ominously, authorities recently crashedthrough a back door of a suburban Seattle home to find a television set blaring loudly while sipping abottle of Jack Daniels and smoking expensive Cuban cigars. Down On Typewriters Ralph Mader,consumption advocate, pressed the Environmental Revulsion Agency to ban typewriters. Recentconsumer probationstudies have shown that the long-term effects of the bell ringing at the end of eachline drives people crazy. Mader Fails To Score Recent studies have shown a dramatic decline in thequantity and quality of beaver around Bell-ingham. A recent beaver hunt on a dark and cold and lonelyFriday evening netted not one beaver. None were even sighted, according to local beaver expert RalphMader. Each beaver captured is termed a "socre," Mader said, and commented " I didn't score all night." Mader did saythere is an ample supply of local crabs, however.

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

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

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

"The girl's asleep in bed when the six bikers comeroaring up outside. We get headlights on the wall, and the bikers smash through the door. "The girlwakes up and goes for the gun under her pillow and picks off the first guy just as he reaches the bed.Biker number two grabs for the gun, but takes one between the eyes. Number three grabs her hand andsmashes it against the bedpost, making her drop the gun. *.. . "Four and five jump on top of her and pinher arms and legs on the bed â€” spread eagle. "Enter the bike king. "That when you start your lines,honey. You know, 'you bastards, You'll have to kill me before I. . .' like that, with lots of screams andfeeling. Then, king, you start your lines â€” 'Nobody crosses the Scarlet Bandits without. . . 'then you rip her clothes off. "We flash to a close up of number three's face, then number, four, then you, honey. Theoverhead camera zooms in for a quick shot of the struggling girl, then flashes back for a close up of theking. "We do the rape â€” probably 30 seconds worth. Then number three takes over, number four, andso on til we get to the climax.

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

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

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

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

"It took a couple of weeks to get used to the sounds coming out of there" says Cindy Davis, ticket taker at the State. Occasional inquiries from out of towners about"where the action is" and rarer flashes by exhibitionists are the only unusual incidents she's experienced. She said customers are usually friendly coming into the theater, but eye contact is hard to get on theway out. Being the first live girl encountered in their departure, Cindy said she often wonders if she'sbeing fantasized about by male customers. Single males make up most of the State's business, butcouples are not infrequent. Ages run generally in the mid to late thirties, according to Charles DeCoster,co-owner of the State. "We've found college-age people are generally unprepared for hardcore," DeCoster said. Most people who walk out in the middle of a show are college-age couples, he said. DeCosterdescribed a typical departure as the girl coming out first, striding for the door, staring CINDY DAVIS â€”Ticket veifdoi straight ahead. The guy follows about ten feet behind looking at the floor. Another eroticfilms theater DeCoster ran #i an Illinois college town was very popular with student audiences. He said he feels students at Western are less interested in films than students in other areas. $ Until August,1976, the State was a floundering theater featuring films similar to Fairhaven's The Picture Show.

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

"Lobbyists in general don't have a good rapport,"she said. Definitely not discriminated against as a female lobbyist, Anderson wonders if she may havean advantage by being a woman working with nearly all men. The students will remain in Olympia through the entire session which is expected to run through the first part of March. Then they will return toFairhaven and evaluate their experience. In Bellingham, CC members monitored the November electionsof mayor, finance director, council-at-large and first, third and fifth ward city council seats. Their concern, according to Bill McCullen, monitoring chairman of CC in Bellingham, was that candidates follow theregulations of public disclosure of campaign contributions and expenditures (Initiative 276). McCullensaid he feels Fred Veroski, fifth ward city council member, violated 276 by not Common Causerepresentative thinks local political candidate violated disclosure law filing disclosure reports on three out of the six required dates. "People can get away with it, if no one is at the local level keeping track ofthings," McCullen said. In essence, keeping track of government doings is what CC does, he said.Williams and Williams TICKETS IN SEATTLE War and The Spinners Feb. 16 Janice Ian Feb. 21 Grover Washington, Jr Feb. 22 Dan Fogelberg Feb. 27 Supertramp and Heart Mar. 19 1429 State Street 676-1121 CHINESE FOOD prepared by Chinese chefs cocktails and dancing food prepared to go THEPROSPECTOR 734-8068 1217 Cornwall, Bellingham 1421 n.

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

State Birmingham, Wosh. AAZLDVAHKBoobs Arts 6. 8. 10. by Don Holms Quest Book Store Jl Paid Advertisement THOUGHTS FROM A CHRISTIAN TO THE GAYS I do not judge (look down upon) you as human being. We all have our sinsand yours are not greater than mine. On behalf of some of my self righteous Christian brothers andsisters who do look down on you, I apologize. I do judge gay relationships as sin. I define as sin, any actor attitude that is destructive to relationships, destructive to the relationship of person to himself, aperson to his neighbor, a person to God. I bring God into the discussion because, if there is noultimate absolute God to stand as Loving Judge over us all, then there is nothing to discuss. You cansay that Gay is good and that being anti-gay is bad but the terms good and bad have no meaning in auniverse with no God. I do suggest that this is the position of the majority of people in the gay movement. You live in a universe with no ultimate moral authority so you are free to do as you please. If life has noultimate meaning then it doesn't really matter what we do. If that premise is true, I agree with theconclusion. "Eat, drink and seek pleasure for life has no meaning." If, on the other hand, we live in auniverse created by a wise and loving God, then we are foolish to neglect the principle of moral law andorder, a moral law and order given for the benefit of the created creatures. Obedience in that universewould bring freedom and life, joy and hope. In spite of the persistent rhetoric from the gay movement, Isubmit that the gays are not free but exist in a state of bondage, a bondage that is not "liberating" but a bondage that makes the universe drab and cramped and lonely. In spite of the constant use of the term"meaningful relationships," I am of the opinion that the gay life leads one down a despairing road that is a revolt against life itself. Is it possible that your revolt against traditional morality is a revolt of the limbagainst the tree, a revolt of the hand against the heart? If you succeed in cutting yourself off fromtraditional morality, maybe you will find that you have cut yourself off from everything that matters? Thereis no such thing as a "new Morality," only a rebellion against the old one. All attempts at a "newmorality" are merely a watering down of real morality. The laws of morality are as rigid (and for thatreason, helpful) as the laws of science. Either we obey them, or by our disobedience and ourunwillingness to seek forgiveness, we choose self destruction. We may choose to disbelieve in thatstrange story about an apple and a snake but that should not cause us to overlook the point of the story.A question I would encourage you to ask yourself: Where is the gay life going to take you in twenty orthirty years? It is the same question the playboy or playgirl need to ask themselves. Is thecommittment to personal freedom going to bring freedom, or will the temporary glitter of the selfish lifeeventually going to lose its shine and begin to rust and decay? I think that gay Christians haveadjusted their theology to their desires rather than attempting to direct their desires by their theology. We Christians are under orders to present our whole selves as a sacrifice up to God in Christ. All ourinclinations both good and bad must be offered up. We can obey or disobey. "He who saves his lifeshall lose it, but he who loses his life for my sake ..hall save it." (Christ). The real question is, do we want the truth about life, whatever it is, or do only want what we want. Are we orphans in universe out otfulfill our immediate desires, or are we someone's kids who are each loved personally. I wouldencourage you to make an intelligent investigation of Christianity. I'm convinced that Christianity outshines all the options, as the sun outshines a candle. sponsored by Campus Christian Fellowship 733-3077676-0490 C.C.F. meets at 7:30 on Friday's in V.U. 450 ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 12 ---------- 12 Western Front Friday, February 13,1976 Human Services gets $950 operating budget School of Edseeks dean by TERRY McGUIRE The Activities Council has apportioned a $950 operating budget to the Human Services Program Student Organization, a new off-campus group. The organization hadrequested $2,900 for operating expenses, but it was reduced by two-thirds and approved at theCouncil's Jan. 26 meeting. The group was formed last quarter by students in the Human ServicesProgram (HSP) an off-campus upper-division program offering experience in the human services field and a bachelor of arts from Western. The program is administered through the College of Ethnic Studies.The $950 will be used to improve communications a-inong HSP students, according to Sharon Morris, aspokesperson for the group's Seattle district. She said the group will rent office space in Seattle toserve as a communications center and will publish a newsletter. Western's liaison for the group,Hunter Nickell of the Viking Union Administration, said the students organized last October in reaction to a $52.50 diversion of their tuition. The money, which previously had gone directly into the program, was earmarked for services' and activities, Nickell said. He said the more than 300 students in the programare scattered in communities from Skagit Valley to Tacoma and can't benefit from campus facilitieshere. "Mainly, they want access to recreational and library facilities," Nickell said. "Part of the $2,900 request was for a retreat, away from the institutional setting, to accommodate their recreational and learning needs." The Council was "leery" of the retreat proposal, according to Nickell, because it was a new idea and the group's presentation was not "solid enough." He said the group would probably makeanother THE PICTURE SHOW Coming Next c 1 M U M oFTrie TaLl "BLOND MaN X TOW SriOe i lt;SJÂ±J676-1 226 A * ^ IN ObD FfllRHflVEN th$ M M $Â£$ toaft t And t Ear Piercing ' , 1 ' T\ 979-0282 BAY ST.VILLAGE! retreat proposal in the next fiscal year. Meanwhile, community colleges inthe HSP area will soon allow HSP students access to their recreational and library facilities, Nickellnoted. He said he is trying to negotiate a similar open-door policy with the University of Washington,since many of the HSP students and a majority of the human service organizations are based in Seattle. In addition to the budget approval, Nickell said Western is responding to the group's needs in otherareas. He said the students are notified of films relating to their work, which are available from theAudiovisual Center. The college also updates HSP students on the resources open to them in thehealth, financial aid and placement services. byDAVENEFF A national search will begin soon for a deanof the School of Education that was approved by Western's Board of Trustees Feb. 5, according to Loren Webb, acting vice president for academic affairs. Monday, Webb said he plans to appoint a screeningcommittee by next week to review applications expected to come into his office as a result of advertisingfor the position in national publications. At their February meeting the trustees, acting on Webb'srecommendation, appointed Arnold Gallegos as the school's acting dean. He was formerly associatedean of Teachers Education. Gallegos said "my plans are right now to apply" for the permanent deanposition. Gallegos said the school's dean is charged, among other things, with "joint recommendatorypurview with the deans of the other collegiate divisions" over personnel action affecting "all individuals at(Western) teaching courses for school personnel." The School of Education is the result of a rejectionlate last October of a proposed College of Education by Western's Academic Coordinating Committee(ACC). The rejected proposal included the department of education, the department of physicaleducation, and the separate speech pathology and audiology programs "as three departments in theCollege of Education," Gallegos said. Under the recommendations of an ACC conference committee,approved by the ACC Dec. 3 and endorsed by All-College Senate Dec. 11, a compromise School ofEducation was approved, according to Gallegos. "The department of education is the only total unitwithin the school," Gallegos said. "However, it includes all education faculty" at Western. Prior to theformation of the School of Education "the department of education didn't belong to any collegiate division" at Western, Gallegos said. Approximately 30 per cent of the undergraduates attending Western are in teacher education programs, according to Gallegos. Last quarter, according to Dean of GraduateSchool Alan Ross, 331, or 55 per cent of the 599 graduate students attending Western were involved inmaster of education degree programs. Webb said once the screening committee has a list ofcandidates for the dean position this spring, a final choice should be made by next fall.

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

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

Both away games are crucial, not only for the championship, but also to insure an 18thconsecutive non-losing season for Western. The Vikings are 5-4 in conference action and 12-10 overall.Central suffered a 74-72 three overtime loss to conference leading Eastern Washington Tuesday night.Their 6-2 conference record places them in a tie for second place with Oregon Institute of Technology.Central's Wildcats are expecting a tight game with Western, according to Andy Kissling, sports editor forCentral's newspaper. The Wildcats have finished first in the Evco nine of the last 11 years, and won theNAIA District I title 10 out of the last 11 years. Following the weekend games Western will be on the road again when they take on Simon Fraser Tuesday night. the buzzer, but still a point shy of victory. Thiswas the third time in four years the Vikings lost to the Wolves by one point at Monmouth. One of thefew highlights for Western was Dave Wood's eight assists, which broke the season record of 170, set by Bob Nicol last year. Wood has 171 assists with four games left. Forward Greg Smith led Vik scorerswith 21 points and had 11 rebounds. Visser also had 11 rebounds and added 13 points. Wood andFuhrer each scored 12 points.

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

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

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

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. The costs per SCH atthe cluster colleges are; $4.50 for Fairhaven College, $7.01 for College of Ethnic Studies and $4.53 forHuxley College. The costs per SCH in the various departments is as follows: Courses Art BiologyEconomics Business Chemistry Education English Ethnic Studies Fairhaven Foreign LanguagesGeneral Education Geography Geology Total SCH Instruction All Levels Only History 8,858 $3.73Home Economics 2,086 $3.75 Huxley 1,079 $4.53 Library Science 585 $6.35 Math 10,020 $3.98 Music 3.171 $8.18 Philosophy 2,085 $3.48 Men's P.E. 2052 $5.20 Women's P.E. 2.535 $4.96 Physics 5,463$4.14 Political Science 7,627 $2.57 Psychology 12,718 $3.36 Soc/Anthro 9,486 $2.06 Speech 4,976$5.09 Technology 3,159 $5.39 Some of the bigger cuts suggested by Flora are aimed at thedepartments with high costs per SCH.

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.

Unusual fellow. He was born the same yearJames Monroe became President for the first time. That would be 1817 and make him 154 years old.Must be some sort of record there WHILE ON THE SUBJECT of unusual people, there is a man in Indiawhose beard is 26 feet long . . . . KEEP IN MIND that Don Francisco de Coronado was riding throughwhat is now Colorado 80 years before the Pilgrims ever set foot on Plymouth Rock. IF YOU ARE evercaught in quicksand, experts say don't fight it. Keep still until you stop sinking. Your head should be leftsticking up, say the experts. Then slowly start to tread water. This won't get you out of course, justprolong your misery. Maybe someone will drop by. What the experts failed to say is what to do if youkeep sinking . . . . QUICKSAND AND QUAGMIRES are not the same things. Quagmires are somethingstudent governments become bogged down in and all the treading in the world won't help them. MEN, IFYOU WANT to.have a long life, understand the place to live is Roseto, Pa. A Dr. Stewart Wolf of theUniversity of Oklahoma says the men who live there eat the same fatty foods as the average Americanmale, but they don't have as many heart attacks. The doctor says this is because there is less strain inthat community. There is no strain on the man to get ahead because it is a "one-class" society. Also if afamily gets into trouble, the whole community chips in to help out. Yet most important, the doctor says, is that the man is the boss in the family. A MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT has found an average male isdistracted from his work for 49.1 seconds every time a young lady in a mini-skirt passes by. He didn't say whether this is all eye-balling time or time spent wiping up the drool or a little of both . . . . ALTHOUGHIT ISN'T included on the 'Gray Line Tours of New York, a long time resident of that city swears that everyreservoir in the city drops two feet whenever there is a commercial on tv. Says this phenomenon is due to people flushing their toilets . . . . IF CHESTER ARTHUR did nothing else while the 21st President of theU.S., he did have indoor plumbing installed in the White House. RESEARCHERS HAVE MADE a smallpolished brass phallus attached to a motor which replaces male mice in sexual behavior experiments onfemale mice. The motorized appliance was found to the outward signs of this situation is not a corner,muttering, work so well that the lady mice showed all pregnancy. What the male mice think aboutknown, but one furry fellow was found in "Rats." * * * * * TO FIND OUT if you are right-eyed or left-eyed,hold your index finger at arm length. Line it up with an object at the end of the room with both eyes. Nowclose your left eye. If the object is still lined up, you are right-eyed. When you close your right eye, thefinger should appear to be a few feet to the right. Just the opposite happens if you are left-eyed. About 90 per cent should find they are right-eyed. Nothing to panic about if you find out this is not true. It justmeans the right side of your brain is dominant and you should be left-handed as well as left-eyed. * * * ** LEFT-HANDED PEOPLE have always got the short end of the stick. Tools that were made back in theBronze Age were designed for right-handed people. It is easier to write from left to right. Just abouteverything is designed for right-handers. What is even worse is that crabs and lobsters are right-handed. ---------- Western Front - 1971 May 25 - Page 5 ---------- Tuesday, May 25, 1971 Western Front ASPCA CHUCKLES i wanna v HUMANE SOCIETY animal fl'mtaking this 11IF*TPI sureTsi: Wyou'll give it \ | i a nice, warm J |||S ^home^sm Wmm3MM ^GoT^M^Jplplll L7 4gp animal. } r^PB^ ISHiiiSiSlli y^S^^SPv N-n by Denis Kitchen d 2 tn C WORK il s \smi U V0 a.

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." "There will be a publicmeeting of the Shuksan Chapter to Restore the Constitution at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the American LegionHall. Ben Hinkel 2315 N. Shore Rd. 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. Enos' letter, "Economics and Religions Cause Wars" I wasdelighted by the cool tongue-in-cheek wit of L. W. Enos (Mr., Mrs., Miss?). He (she) really added a veryfresh and humorous parady on some popular modern bugaboos. Right on, Enos! The world is in sadneed of comedians. Dennis B.

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.

Open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday -Saturday Environmentalist Plans to Zero On Pollution With New Legislation SEETHE COMPLETE LINE OF IMPORT cJIKES AVAILABLE ONLY AT... 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. If they are not already sold out, Isuggest that you attend any night that you can get a ticket.

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. An admission price of $3.50 will be charged toall others interested in attending the banquet. 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). Magee recorded a lifetime best of 9.7 in a preliminary heat held Friday. Vikingsplacing fifth were Ken Johnson in both the high hurdles (15.3) and intermediate hurdles (57.8), KellyStecker in the mile (4:23.2) and May in the 440 (49.6). Sixth place honors for Western were earned byJim Wilcox, shot put (47-9), Bob Christenson, discus (146-5), and Wes Busch, pole vault (13-0).Freshman Mark Salzman leaped a lifetime best of 6-0 in the high jump, but failed to place. OCE's victoryput an end to Central's dominance of Evco track. The Wildcats had owned the league crown for nineyears. Oregon College won seven events, taking the first four places in the high hurdles and the first three in the high jump. Bob Keyes won the hurdles for the Wolves in 14.9, followed by teammates DaveStephans, Ken Boethin and Mike Saylor. Dennis Olafson won the high jump, soaring 6-8 with Keys andStephens each going 6-6 for second and third. â€”details page 11 WEDNESDAY NIGHT from 7-10DIME SCHOONERS 1112 Cornwall WEDS, thru SAT. 733-0201

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€¢ . ' ' .

"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.'

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. Veterans who drop below the required 12 credits will receive alesser amount in their GI Bill benefits.she said. 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.

The 3,000 member WPEA struck at selected locations Tuesday and had planned" to callout all its members yesterday. Wednesday night Western's 280-member Washington Federation ofState Employes local (AFL-CIO) passed a resolution calling on the Federation's Executive Council tocall for an immediate strike vote by the 14,000-member union. The Federation's Executive Council met last night, with results unavailable at press time. The WPEA was seeking a 20 per cent salaryincrease. Quantock said she was satisfied with a 10 per cent increase included in the House versionof the proposed state budget. In return for an end to the strike Gov. Ray promised to establish a panelto study state salary scales and benefits for all the state's 50,000 employes. BY CLAY HARTL Acomplaint was lodged about last week's election by Doug Scott, candidate for Position 9, at Tuesday's meeting of the AS Board of Directors. Scott contended that both the voting ballots and the votingmachines "failed to contain my party affiliation (Liberal)," and that if left on, he might have receivedmore votes, thus winning the election. Tony Mauhar, election chairperson, said that it had been"inadvertently omitted from the ballot and the machines." When asked about compensation atMonday's meeting of the Election Board, Scott replied, "I want a re-run." At that meeting, MartinReeves, the winning candidate (by 91 votes) said, "I see the re-run as a senseless exercise, given thesubstantial margin of the results." There was considerable discussion about whether the word "liberal" was used as a philosophy or an actual party affiliation. Dave Marchbank, AS vice-president, said theword couldn't be used to relay a philosophy because election platforms aren't allowed within 25 feet ofthe voting booths. He also pointed out that Scott, as a single candidate, didn't make up a "party." Thisview supports the argument that inclusion of the word liberal wouldn't have made much difference. Mark Gramps, board member, said the use of the word could have run the votes the other way, also,taking more votes away from Scott. Scott admitted this was true but the possibility that the liberal tagwould have gotten him more votes still existed. The board's final decision was to vote against Scott andto ratify Martin Reeves as the Position 9 board member for next year. Student health insurance rates go up for next year by JAN WALLACE Student Health Insurance will cost either $34 or $79 a quarternext year. The $8 increase in single coverage and $18 jump in student-with-dependent coverage are part-of Western's negotiated contract with Whatcom County Physicians Service. The changes are aimed at limiting use and abuse of the health plan, Mary Robinson, associate dean of students, said. Robinsonpointed to dependents as the heaviest users of the plan. Abuse, she said, has included using theinsurance to cover elective surgery. Robinson listed other changes in the health plan. Next year, it willbe mandatory to apply for student health insurance upon entering school. That is, if a student wantsinsurance he has to get it his first quarter of the 1977 school year. A 90-day waiting period prior toseeking treatment under the health plan for a pre-existing condition is a new requirement in the plan. Atleast 2,000 students must enroll for insurance according to the agreement. This is about the number whohave enrolled in the past. v ., . ...v v .. .._. .

Bettis, other administration members and students generally agree the changes are needed. ,When Fairhaven first opened, it was a small, tightly-knit community governed by an unwritten "folk law,"one administration member said. But as the college grew, some of this feeling was lost and questionsarose as to the lines of authority. "In the early years, the administration was run like a family andimportant decisions were made by the committees," Fairhaven Admissions Director Hannah Wegner said. "This system worked while Fairhaven was small," she said. "At that time, students took a strong interest in Fairhaven's governance. But there has been a change in student attitude. Now we have to coercepeople to serve on the committees." Fairhaven has never had an officially accepted charter or by-laws.Thus, Bettis said, responsibility and definitions were not clearly spelled out. A set of by-laws currently isbeing formed by John Bremer, ot Western's education department, who, along with Beth Powers, is thetemporary associate dean at Fairhaven. A charter was set up last winter by a group of students andfaculty which states Fairhaven's purpose and its relation to Western. When completed and approved bythe Fairhaven community, the by-laws, along with the already approved charter, will be sent to Western'sBoard of Trustees for official approval. "The old system was a headache," Wegner said. "There was noone to pin down for certain actions. It tunneled all responsibility to the dean. The new system will delegate lines of responsibility. "This doesn't mean Fairhaven's turning into a bureaucratic monster. Our intentionisto form a sensible structure to hear and channel student concerns more effectively." Another factor inthe need for. change has been community reaction to Bettis. Bettis' contract was renewed for four yearswinter quarter, but not until a heated community referendum questioning his rehiring was settled. "Bettishas met with a lot of controversy and opposition," Doug Leber, a member of the associate dean searchcommittee, said. "We had to use some governance procedures and they turned out to be an ungodlymess. He enabled us to see the flaws in the system." "Bettis has faced mistrust by the community,"Wegner said. "The new system will provide more checks and balances on the dean." The new systemalso will give Fairhaven some protection it has never legally had before. "If Fairhaven has an officialgovernance system, then it will be able to deal with Western's administration and they, in turn, will beable to judge Fairhaven," Leber said. "If we don't have an official structure Western can deal with, theycan tell us 'This is the way it's going to be.' If we have a structure, then we have a say so, a protection,"Wegner said. The new system also will include the position of associate dean, which previously had noofficial status with Western. The position, which was held by Dick Norris until his resignation winterquarter, is responsible for "non-academic" activities, such as housing and dining and student activities. A search committee is now reviewing applications for a permanent replacement. Leber said it is criticalthat Fairhaven define its purpose and direction so the new associate, deaii "will have a set of rules to dea. with when he starts working." There are several problems in establishing the new system, anadministration member said. Fairhaven is a place of creative freedom and administrators don't want tostifle this with a lot of red tape. Also, there is a conflict between the idea of "central authority" and theFairhaven community, which views itself as governed from the roots up, he said. Finally, there is no clearprocedure for approval of the new documents. It must be approved by Fairhaven, he said, but who isFairhaven? That's defined in the new documents!

Faculty comments to theFront regarding the Handbook centered on the subject of tenure and promotion of faculty. David Pervear,geology, said the Handbook was needed "to facilitate the administration, hiring, shuffling and firing offaculty." He explained that if the level of funds at Western drops, due to declining enrollment, the statewill not provide money for retention of faculty. In that case, he added, the administration must have amechanism for dealing with the problem. A different perception was expressed by Pete Steffens,journalism. "I was not persuaded by the administration, that is Talbot (James Talbot, vice president foracademic affairs), that the changes were really in the interest of enhancing the educational qualities ofWestern, but were out of economic considerations." Steffens said the Handbook "puts the brake onindividual teachers' chances for advancement to permanent status." He said qualifications for promotionhave been stiffened to save salary money and hold back people from permanent position in the college.Americole Biasini, music, approved the Handbook. Biasini said the Handbook "more clearly definesscholarship and process necessary for attaining advancement." Referring to procedures for promotion, he explained, "We in the College of Fine and Performing Arts have a preference for creative behaviors over the more traditional publishing routes." He added he personally prefers "supplanting thepublication route with composition or performance." Other comments addressed the procedure foramendment of the Handbook. A faculty member, who wished to remain anonymous, was opposed to thenew procedure. He said the document gives an unconstitutional power to the Board of Trustees to change faculty hiring procedures. He said the nature of the hiring rules is a faculty process and "ratification bythe faculty is essential to the legitimacy of the rules." Ruth Weiner, Huxley professor and acting Dean of Huxley College, agreed that "formal amendment procedures should come from faculty." She assertedthat the Handbook is a good document but that no adequate legal protection for faculty is included. Sheexplained that the Faculty Handbook is not a contract, although it is commounly referred to as one. Shesaid there needs to be a "good legal opinion on whether this is a contract or not." Weiner also expressed dissatisfaction with parts of the Handbook relating to termination of programs. She said there is nocriteria at all for deciding continuation or discontinuation of pro-prams. Weiner was unhappy with themethod of ratification of the Handbook. She said faculty should have been able to vote on each sectionof the document. Although Weiner is currently a faculty member, she did not receive a ballot for voting. "Maybe they just forgot me," she said. James O'Brien, English, was a member of the committee thatdrafted the new handbook. He said the work entailed compiling and editing various processes andprocedures that had been established over the years. O'Brien claimed no essential changes in anyparticular faculty member's case had been made. He emphasized that the Handbook is "a matter ofcompromise. It's not a.perfect document, but it's the best agreement to get out of the Faculty Council atthis time." He said the important thing was to get some policies established that are up to date.Otherwise, he added, "There would still be a lot of loose procedures that allowed people to do what theywant." by PEGGY WATT The marijuana decriminalization bill has been amended to keep possession acrime, but with a lesser penalty, under cnanges dy the Senate Social and Health Services Committee last week. The measure is now in the Senate Rules Committee before going for a vote by the entire Senate.House Bill 257 passed the House on its second try after much controversy. It decriminalized possessionof up to 40 grams of marijuana. The Senate committee's amendments would consider violations ascriminal offenses but with a $25 fine and payment of up to $50 for mandatory enrollment in thedrugeducation program, for the first two offenses only. The records would be purged after two years if therewere no more offenses. "It's not decriminalization," said Sen. H.A. "Barney" Goltz (D-Bellingham),sponsor of the Senate decriminalization bill which died of neglect in the Senate Judiciary Committee. "It's not too much of a bill. I'm not completely satisfied, but I support it as being the best bill we can getthrough this legislature," he said. The bill passed the Senate committee May 5, with 7-4 margin. Aproposed amendment by Sen. Kent Pullen (R-Kent) failed, which would have set a mandatory two-yearimprisonment for sale of marijuana. Goltz said a change in laws is necessary because current laws donot work. He likens the use of marijuana to that of alcohol and tobacco, which were not curbed byprohibition or health threats. "It could be the public really wants marijuana part of the environment," Goltzsaid. "But the present law is not being applied or enforced and should be changed.

Four bills of interest to students may diea quiet death if no noise is made soon. The bills â€” the university name change, collective bargainingrights for state instructors, marijuana decriminalization and term paper sale reform â€” are currentlystuck in the Senate Rules Committee. This is the last stop before they go to the Senate floor, and ifpassed, on to Gov. Dixy Lee Ray's desk. The Senate Rules Committee is known for holding up bills. Asone legislative lobbyist puts it, "Senate Rules is the . graveyard of legislation." Now that the legislature isbusy with the several budget proposals, it is questionable whether they will even be acted upon.Questionable, that is, unless some pressure is put on the committee to get the bills to the Senate floor.This is where students can help. Simply by calling the legislative hotline, 1-800-562-6000 (toll free),students can urge their legislators to put pressure on the rules committee. It only takes a little time andenergy. These bills all should get a chance on the Senate floor. They've gone through what seems like an endless maze of committees in the House and Senate. To have them curl up and die in the rulescommittee would be a waste. Guest commentary Publishing important In a series of thoughtful articles,Beth Barrett has examined the relationship of teaching and publication to tenure and promotion. It is wellto remember the tenure qualifications defined in the 1969 Faculty Handbook: "Tenure should be granted to faculty members who possess such talent as scholars and teachers that the college can employ themfor the remainder of their academic careers." Similarly, for associate professor, the qualifications include " . . . strong evidence of high attainment in teaching, or research, or in other scholarly endeavor. Usually,accomplishment in more than one of these areas is expected." In the new version of the handbook thedual role of the professor as teacher and scholar is retained. There is a long and established tradition inthe academic world that a professor must be an active scholar as well as a competent teacher. Thequestion is more one of evaluation. How do we recognize a good teacher? What are the signs of an active scholar? We have a system of evaluating teaching although it is currently under review by a committee of the All-College Senate. Evaluation of scholarly activity is not easily refined to fit an evaluation form, butfaculty committees attempt to distinguish between the various types of activity, and recognize thatnot all scholarly activity results in publication. Nonetheless, in those fields where publication istraditionally the measure of the scholar, the committees look for publications in refereed journals asthe most obvious mark of success. In other fields different criteria are used but are agreed upon beforethe evaluation takes place. For example, an artist is expected to put on shows in centers where work iscritically evaluated; an accountant, to write for professional journals; a planner, to educate other plannersthrough symposia, and through distribution of work for critical review. Most faculty achieve the goals setby the academic community, remain professionally active, and become competent teachers. As Ireviewed the files of all those faculty who were applicants for tenure and promotion, I was impressed bythe high level of activity of the faculty at this institution. Faculty are publishing, performing, andcontributing to symposia at national meetings of learned and professional societies, while also gettinggood reviews of their teaching. The importance of scholarly activity is clearly recognized here. Problemsoccur only where faculty have ignored early warning signals. Annual evaluations will point to deficienciesin teaching and scholarship. If these warnings^ are ignored, promotions are delayed and tenure may bedenied. The faculty and administration at Western work together to maintain a high quality environment.Publication by faculty is an important element in our efforts but it is not the only factor and should not beover-estimated. â€” James Talbot Talbot is Vice President lor Academic Affairs and Provost.. Torn overporn First Amendment threatened JAMES TALBOT Larry Flynt and Al Goldstein publish smut. Somewill say that what they publish has no literary value whatsoever. This would be hard to prove otherwise.Yet, does anyone have the right to tell them they can't publish whatever they want to? Essentially, thisis the main question involved with the obscenity issue today. It amounts to a supreme test of our right tofreedom of speech, guaranteed under the First Amendment. Flynt, publisher of Hustler magazine, andGoldstein, publisher of Screw magazine, both face possible long jail sentences for obscenity-relatedconvictions. Their decisions are being appealed. Their convictions are a result of a 1973 a lt;M -Hoe.Juefo*? TCS ouer m 4/5/e 4 . "3 Supreme Court ruling which left obscenity regulation up to "communitystandards." The vagueness of this term has allowed such conservative cities as Wichita, Kan., forexample, to convict Goldstein. Goldstein and Flynt offer no excuses for the smut they are publishing.Both Screw and Hustler are known for their explicit crotch shots and unsophisticated sex stories. "Iwanted to talk about sex the way we talked about it on the farm, at the factory and in the Navy," Flyntsays. Goldstein, in an article in New York Times Magazine, is described as "being as offensive aspossible, as often as possible to as many people as possible." In a recent issue of Screw, he ran acartoon depicting the nine Justices of the Supreme Court having sex with animals, vegetables and miner-als. These same men might someday try his case. Offensive? Yes. Poor taste? Yes. But should anyone be jailed for being offensive and showing poor taste? Rolling Stone magazine Editor Jann Wenner saysno. "A guy is being jailed by a law promulgated by the Nixon Court," he says of Flynt. "It's an outrage.Since when has bad taste been a crime?" Apparently somebody thinks it should be. Flynt has beensentenced to 7 to 25 years for "pandering obscenity," Goldstein faces a possible 60 years in jail forsending obscene material through the mails. A frightening situation would face us if their conditions areupheld. Two men may go to jail for exercising their First Amendment rights. More importantly, the FirstAmendment would be severely damaged. The door would be open for censorship of true literary works.Regardless of their literary content, Hustler and Screw have a legitimate right to exist. It would be nice to let all the things labeled "good" exist, and all the things labeled "bad" not exist, but it's not that easy.With the First Amendment at stake, the bad has to be taken with the good. â€” John Nelson hoof-in-mouth Editor's Note: This is the second half of the Hoof-in-Mouth column on tenure and promotion. Inaddition to more specific tenure criteria, the Front also offers some ideas to enhance the system'sefficiency. First, all cluster college and departmental tenure and promotion committees should bedisbanded. They are a waste of personnel and time. Vice President for Academic Affairs James Talbotshould serve as a one-man committee since he, according to himself, must ultimately agree with all T P standards. Why expend energy on numerous committees (and the increased bureaucracy they cause) when one man can handle the job so efficiently? In addition, professors applying for tenure should lay afolio at Talbot's feet containing the following items: 1} Publication notices 2) Poor student evaluations 3)A short, philosophical poem praising the Olscamp administration and the quality of education. The Frontsuggests the poems be submitted to Pulitzer Prize winner Annie Dillard or the Jeopardy editor for finalapproval. Once Talbot has granted tenure, a wondrous ceremony will ensue on the sidewalk in front ofOld Main. All campus administrators will line up in descending bureaucratic order, facing Old Main andwith their backs to the sidewalk. Talbot will stand at the top of the entrance stairs. The honoredprofessor, to the measured grandeur of "Pomp and Circumstance," will walk slowly up the sidewalk.Starting with the lowliest administrator, he will systematically kiss the central rear anatomy of eachbureaucrat. Once he has graced Olscamp with a peck, he will ascend Old Main's stairs and bow atTalbot's feet. Talbot will chant a prayer to the House Higher EducaUonCommitteo and then bless theprofessor in Latin: "Grantus tenurus!" The professor will arise with tears in his eyes and orate a copyof his longest published article. Professors who are denied tenure will be sent to a corrective institution,such as a community college, in hopes they eventually will see the errors of their ways. Praise be to the father (Olscamp), the son (Talbot) and the holy ghost (the spirit of readin', writin' and 'rithmetic.) â€”Greg Hoofnagle staff EDITOR; Greg Hoofaagle NEWS EDITOR: Bruce Hyland FEATURE EDITOR: LizVerdier PHOTO EDITOR: Bill Slater ARTS iENTERTAINMENT: Liz Rust SPORTS EDITOR: BruceStinshoff OPINION EDITOR: John Nelson HEAD COP?

One in four Americans will develop cancer in their lifetime and one in five will die from it. Ifyou happen to be living in a highly industrialized area, your chances are even greater of developingcancer, and if you happen to be a long-term asbestos insulation worker you have a 50 per cent chanceof dying of cancer. Instead of chastising the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for enacting theDelaney clause, we ought to thank them. The argument that the scientific data derived from animalresearch is invalid and is at best ignorant criticism. Every chemical known to be carcinogenic tohumans (with the exception of Trivalent Arsenic) is also carcinogenic to animals. Many chemicals now recognized as carcinogenic to humans were first identified by animal testing. Also, I believe theargument for administering large doses of potential carcinogenic material to test animals is valid.Industry has perpetuated the myths about such testing to minimize the significance of the effects ofhuman exposure to particular carcinogenic or toxic chemicals. If the sugar addicts want theirmethadone then let them buy it as a drug, but don't routinely expose innocent people to carcinogens.A recent Environmental Protection Agency study found Dieldrin in 80 per cent of the milk of nursingmothers nationwide. (Dieldrin is a known carcinogenic pesticide). We ought to be damn mad atindustry for polluting our environment for the sake of profits, at government for covering it up and at the press for blindly perpetuating myths about cancer and the safety of industrial products. This letteronly scratches the surface. Look around you: one, in five will die from cancer, and the rate is increasingannually. We have to start cleaning up somewhere! Pat Byrne Senior, Biology-Chemistry Editor,western Front: Kevin Raymond's opinion (Front, May 6) in regard to U.S. payments of war reparations to Vietnam is misleading and is inconsistent with the true facts. Raymond attempted to reason that theUnited States has a moral obligation to "heal the war wounds." Raymond states, "America forgetsquickly . . . the Vietnam nightmare is almost forgotten here," but what about the families of the 56,000 U.S. servicemen who were lost in the war? How fast will they forget? No, the moral argument is tooweak to be used as a negotiating crutch.

A quick assessment of postwar events would be more appropriate.After United States withdrawl, North Vietnam completely disregarded the agreement initialed on Jan.23, 1973 by Le Dec The and Henry Kissinger. Within a year and a half, Communist forces had taken the country in direct conflict with the Paris Accords. North Vietnam kept no part of the agreement. Closeexamination shows that "in fact" the context of the agreement contains no requirement for the UnitedStates to pay any reparations to Vietnam. Why then, should the United States be obligated to payeven $1 in aid to Vietnam? As Henry Kissinger pointed out in a recent press conference, "U.S.economic aid priorities should be kept in alphabetical order."

Work-study offers summer jobs by JESSIE MILUG AN There is not an overabundance of jobs in Bellingham, but financial aid eligibility or a willingness to try manual labor-areattributes that may open doors when looking for work this summer. The summer work-study programprovides full-time work for students who are eligible for financial aid next fall, Cathy Dudik, coordinator for the Student Employment Center (SEC) said. Applications are still being accepted. Most work-study jobs are with public service non-profit organizations, particularly "summertime industries working with children, such as Whatcom County Parks Department, Bellingham Park Commission, theYMCA or the YWCA," Dudik said. These types of jobs can also be applied for through the SummerYouth Employment Program (SPEDY), 115 W. Magnolia. SPEDY has low-income eligibilityrequirements similar to the financial aid program here, except applicants must be 16-21 years old, Dudik said. "This is the time to look for a summer job," Susan Wolfe, interviewer at Employment Security,said. "Production increases this time of year. Construction, landscaping, canneries all step up. Kidsare going to be out of school and then there are tourists," Wolfe said. Bumblebee Cannery, Squali-cum Waterway, and Peter Pan Seafood, 207 Harris, begin hiring for the fishing season in late June and runthrough October, plant managers said. "We've put many people through college," Wes Fahls-trom,Bumblebee manager, said. Both canneries have wages starting at approximately $4 an hour and bothmanagers said work includes cleaning or unloading fish and production-related work aroundmachines.

Lade, who also had apowerful voice, led the stable men's chorus in what became the "show stopper," "Blow High, Blow Low."The choreography and dance performances were the strongest point of the production, with beautiful,graceful performances given by many dancers. Louisa Ward, who played Billy and Julie's daughter,Louise, performed with great form in the beach ballet, with the help of dancers David Berkey, Nora Martin, Jody Mallahan and Dan Weber. Another traditional high point of the show, "You'll Never Walk Alone,"was performed with the serenity and quiet power it deserves, by Martha- Benedict, who played NettieFowler. Benedict's performance probably left many tearful eyes in the audience. Dennis Catrell, of thetheatre and dance department, gave an unusual, humorous and believable performance as Enoch Snow.Catrell played the role with a slight modesty, which was a pleasant contrast to the overbearing treatment it has received from other actors. Joining Catrell was Charlotte Mickelson, who played Carrie Pipperidge. Together, the two successfully provided the necessary humorous aspects of the otherwise heavy-hearted play. Three other performances of note were turned in by James A. Korski, of the theatre and dancedepartment, who played the Starkeeper; Randy J. Karl, who played the Heavenly Friend, and Giuli EtteCasciopoppo, who played the scheming Mrs. Mullin. All three roles were strictly dramatic and wereplayed convincingly. A slightly slow beginning and a slowness in two full-cast numbers, â€” "A Real Nice Clambake" and "June is Bustin' Out All Over" â€” were the only drawbacks to the production. Timingseemed to be the trouble here, as a lot of people moving around on stage produced a somewhat clumsyeffect. As usual, the theatre and dance department created imaginative sets and costumes. Althoughnot overly elaborate, they fit the New England setting. Understudies for the roles of Billy and Julie areSteve Deines, student, and Ruth Pratt, of the speech department. Deines played his role oppositeMcCauley in the Thursday performance, Pratt will play opposite McKinney in tonight's performance.The cast encored with a reprise of an upbeat song, "June is Bustin' Out All Over," which was fortunate. In the midst of the emotion this play left, a gay note was needed.

The person largely responsible for it is Tom Patterson, a graduatestudent in performance and new coordinator of the music department's guitar program. A nativeCalifornian, Patterson studied for five years with Michael Lorimer, while at the University of California,Berkeley campus. "The Bay area is one of the most exciting centers for classical guitar in the world,"Patterson said, but he doesn't plan to move back in the near future. Patterson said he finds theNorthwest a "healthy place to be." Not only does the natural beauty of this area appeal to the hermitstreak in him (he lives in a house outside Bellingham which has neither electricity nor hot water), but hefinds it useful to him as a musician. Trees make useful conductors of sound and allow him to hear hisown music far better than he could in a city atmosphere, he said. The quiet fc H atmosphere alsoscreens him from disrupts noises from the outside, which allows him concentrate on his art. WatchingPatterson play his instrument is tender experience in itself. He has an unspok language with the guitarthat conveys his love it.' Patterson is a busy individual. He instructs well as performs. He will receive hisMaster degree in performance in a few. weeks recently performed his graduate recital at th WhatcomMuseum of History and Art. Although classical guitar is his standar instrument, he plays baroque guitaras well. Th baroque differs from the classical instrument that it is smaller and is equipped with 10 stringIts tone is lighter and more intimate than that the more familiar instrument. He sees Bellingham as "being a fruitful aret full of potential, which can become a garden or garbage dump." He and his talent will stay t push the city towards the former.

Patty Tork and Joanne Kautz are competing with eight other women for the title of MissWhatcom County, to be named at this year's Blossomtime pageant May 19. The winner will receive a$500 scholarship and represent Whatcom County at various events throughout the state, including nextyear's Miss Washington pageant. The contestants will be judged primarily on talent and appearance.Tork plans to do a jazz-dance to "I'm Gonna Fly Now," the theme form the movie "Rocky," for the talentcompetition. She is originally from Morgantown, W.Va., and moved here after attending the University ofUtah last year. She is a sophomore at Western, majoring in dance. Krautz is from Seattle, and running in her second pageant. She ran unsuccessfully for Miss Des Moines, Wash, three years ago. Kautz is ajunior majoring in music, and a resident aide at Alpha. She plans to play "Rhapsody in Blue" on thepiano, in the talent competition. In an interview Tuesday, both, said that running has been a goodopportunity to get to know the Bellingham area better, and meet more people in the community. Torksaid she is running because of the scholarship, and pointed out that it is technically a scholarshippageant. Kautz said she is also running because of the scholarship, and because it is an opportunity toplay piano in front of an audience. The contestants have been meeting for the past nine weeks, inpreparation for the pageant. Tork explained, "They (the people running the pageant) teach us how to walk, talk and sit." Being in the pageant is fun, they both said, but they expressed displeasure in the publicappearances they have made as a group. Tork commented, "They have us show our faces and getout." Kautz added, "Sometimes you feel like a herd of cattle . . . we never get invited to lunch, we're justherded in, looked at and herded out." They said they like working with the people involved. Kautz said, "Itis hard trying to keep jealousy and pride under control, but when you forget the competition the peopleare great." In response to those who criticize beauty pageants as sexist Tork said, "The beauty partdepends a lot on how you take care of yourself." Kautz said, "I have the right to assume any role in life Iwish." Bob Stevens, the executive director of the Bellingham Chamber of Commerce, said this is the first time in many years non-high schoolgirls have been allowed to run. He said this was to give the pageanta "more mature air." Kautz said she would like to see more Western women compete in the future. Alsorunning are: Kim Curtis, Sehome High; Gina Folsom, Bellingham Tech. School; Lisa Fladd, BellinghamHigh; Diane Hardin, Nooksack Valley High; Leanne Dwight, Meridian High; Laura Sibillia, Blaine High;Lori Lagerway, Lynden and Stacey Provias, a Sehome graduate. Two runners-up will each receive $250scholarships. The pageant will be held at 8 p.m. at Bellingham High School. Admission is $2.00 foradults, $1.00 for students.

Six other Western students (who wish toremain anonymous), and I went by boat to the waters off Sucia Island (about 15 miles west ofBellingham) in search of the not-so-elusive cod. We were specifically after rock cod and ling cod. Rockcod are short, round, spiney, have large bulging eyes and are generally ugly. Ling cod are long, slender,slimy, large-headed and tend to get uglier as they get bigger. Both are found in deep water, near rocksand near the bottom. Cod fishing requires very little patience, and practically no skill, a perfectdescription of our crew. We sent our "rigs" (fishing jargon) consisting of herring or smelt bait (chickenbones have been known to work) on two large hooks, with a large weight, to the bottom. Once our lineshad reached bottom, we jerked them up and down to attract the fish. Less than 15 seconds after my linetouched bottom, I hooked a fish. At the same time, two others had hooked the bottom, and were trying to pull the plug on Puget Sound. They had found the foremost danger in cod fishing â€” rocks that reachout and grab your line. By the time I had brought in my fish â€” a rock cod r~ and the others had theirnow hookless lines in, we had drifted out of the fishing area. We drive the boat back to the original spotand dropped anchor. During the next couple hours we caught several fish at this spot and did have oneexciting moment. I caught a 20 pound ling cod. This fish exemplified the greediness of cod. I hadoriginally hooked a small rock cod, but the ling swallowed it, and held on. After a brilliant(?) display offishing skills, I brought the ugly thing to the surface, where it was gaffed and hauled into the boat. After a severe beating with the handle of the gaff-hook, the ling spit out the smaller cod which left me with adouble catch. - The remainder of the afternoon was spent fishing at Parkers Reef, (off Orcas Island) andin the waters off Matia Island. By the end of the day, we had caught 16 cod and one rock which wedetermined to be sandstone. In addition to the fish, Mother Nature provided us with numerous ups anddowns. Occasionally, a couple of our crew members felt momentarily compelled to donate their half-digested lunch to the local marine life. After our trip, we prepared the fish for eating.

But she ure can throw one. Her West-irn schoolrecord of 149-1 is 19 eet over the national qualifying aark of 130-0. She has been in track ever incejunior high, and had own the discus before :hanging to the javelin. For raining, Reimer sprinted, limbedstairs and swung base-tall bats because her high chool didn't have weights. As a freshman at Westernast year, Reimer had a best of 34-0. She went to nationals but dn't make the finals. This ear she doesn'tknow how she tands among others and does tot have any idea what place she could get at nationals.Reimer usually trains four days a week. Monday, she does sprints and throws. Tuesday and Thursday,she lifts weights. She does arm curls, leg presses, hamstring curls and various other exercises.Wednesday is a lot like Monday, except she throws harder, and sometimes all out. On throwing days, Reimer said, "I work on my speed and technique. I practice following through and bringing the javelinall the way back. I need to use my whole body to get my best throw." Beth Barrett gives a bit ofincentive to Reimer. Barrett also qualified for nationals in the javelin with a throw of 136-0. She is theonly other person to qualify for nationals on the women's track team. Reimer makes the javelin a priority during the season, but does not train during the off season. "If I trained more it would help. I had a latestart this season. I played basketball on the junior varsity this winter and play softball in the summer.Maybe next year I will train the year around," Reimer said. "Before a track meet, I think about mygoals," Reimer said. She will have an excellent opportunity to surpass those goals at nationals, May 19-21, at the University of California at Los Angeles. The finish of an odyssey o NOTE: This is the secondand last part of the evin Charles Hitchhiking story. At the end of le last segment, Charles and his sidekick, the iano Man, arrived at Moses Lake, the sister city f Purgatory. by KEVIN CHARLES We hadtaken the last ride with these rangers and it was beginning to look like we ad indeed taken the Last Ride. They hadn't quipped us with cement overshoes and dropped 's in the river, but after an hour in MosesLake, ve were beginning to wish they had. The first Irregular Western Front Mainline \drenalin Marathonfor Hitchhiking was eight lours old and showing signs of birth defects. The only thing biblical about Moses Lake is the mount of religious faith it takes to hitchhike out. loads run conveniently in all compass direc-ons, as do the drivers, straight, speedily, and nstoppably. he only thing biblical about Moses .ake is the amount of religious faith it akes to hitchhike out. An automotive catalogue could be filled with he carsthat passed us by. Pick-ups, sedans, ports cars, Jeeps, stationwagons and vans all ad one answer toour thumbs-up plea: cceleration. After three hours of this, the Piano Man began react helpfully to ourproblem. "Oh man, we've got to get out of here!" "Great thought, how do we do it?" "Oh man, we've got to get out of here!" I persuaded my partner to come out of the oad, frustrating his kamikaze instinct. Weleaded for the truckstop across the freeway. Any consideration of Moses Lake as a vacation pot ended,inside the truckstop restaurant. The vhite-on-white patrons gave us the quiet looks of listaste usuallydrawn by Mongols on their way a beer-blast with the horde. My long hair and he Piano Man's skin colorweren't smash hits in his town. At our request, we received service, though mietly, rude, and inexactdirections to the bus tation. Discomforted, we went back to the oadside. "We're gonna get out of here."The Piano itfan's voice had dipped into hysteria. "It's okay," I assured him. "If we don't get a ide within an hour, we'll leave." By that time, ve'd probably be arrested. Stranded one short hitch from Spokane, in aillage resembling the leavings of a cattle drive, decided upon a cowpuncher's solution, foisting our packs,we stumbled eastward oward the deeper darkness and our destination. Something scurried with us as we strode along he road beside the freeway. "Piano Man, there's something moving over here." "Right,next thing you're gonna be telling me ou're seeing snakes." We arrived at the next intersection uneaten. It melled of cow manure, and was equipped with a w stationary tumbleweeds. In a few years, we redicted, it would be a whole lot like Moses ake. The desert mice got another thrill as we hiked le three milesback to Moses Lake. The shift had hanged at the truckstop eatery as we went back and struck death-like poses. Different, younger waitresses poured the coffee. They gave us sympathetic advice, having beentrapped in Moses Lake longer than we. Still enshackled by our luck, we reeled out to the roadside again. A trio of state patrol cars were parked fender to fender in a deserted gas station. Within their sight, thePiano Man and I were about to become the accomplices of a wanted criminal. He swung out of thetruckstop and then braked as he saw us. His Japanese pickup was filled with blankets and children'stoys. "Yeah, I know what a bitch it is to be stuck in this town," he said, shifting his domestic cargo. "Ijust ripped off a guy for $300. Sucker was cheating me blind," he said. The criminal's name was Bill. Hehad spent the day working at a carnival and made off with the day's proceeds. He was helping his ex-wife move to Spokane. The state patrol had two warrants for his arrest. His ex-wife, her girl friend and he had stopped for coffee at the truck stop where he stole $10 from the cashier. Gratefully, we became part ofhis get-away. "I probably shouldn't be telling you guys this," Bill said. The caravan stopped at anothertruckstop on the eastside of Spokane. Bill bought us coffee and he was soon in motion again. By now,the police will have caught up with him. Bill gave the impression of a luckless, though enterprisingoutlaw. The truckstop in Spokane was bigger and just as'depressing as its cousin in Moses Lake. About 50 trucks slept standing up with their drivers inside. Soon we learned the truckers weren't obliged tohurry, or in some cases, even arise on Sundays. Just as quickly, we surmised that Spokane on theSabbath has all the bustle of a petrified forest. Desperate again, we stupidly accepted the first ride offered to us. Our benefactor dropped us off in the middle of the freeway. Sunrise struck as we hiked back to the truckstop along Nixon Avenue. Thirty minutes later, we abandoned the truckstop and began walkingagain. Still later that morning, the Piano Man had led us to a Denny's while I scouted the area for apromising freeway entrance. I selected the on-ramp for our last stand and we went inside to fortifyourselves. . . . the Piano Man and I were about to become the accomplices of a wanted criminal. Thethree customers already there were laughing as we sat down. They listened to our account of our mileage and self-destruction. Finally, one of them offered us the passenger section of his Honda Civic. The driver was a graduate student in geology, a sacreligious pagan-barbarian (Lodge 362) and very good company.â€¢* -V gt; We drove back through the North Cascades on Highway 20, viewing the coming ecologicaldisaster. Eyery lake and reservoir we saw had high, dry banks and very low water. The Marathon endedat our doorstep where our barbaric friend dropped us in a heap. I was 36 hours older and my body was700 miles more traveled. Some day I might again set out after a new record, but I don't think so. Justthinking about it makes my frayed brain weary.

No. "Austin Harley and I arrived in Seattle at 6:30 a.m.,Saturday, February 19, 1977. We took our positions along Avenue of the Cascades, precisely where theRainiers would appear at the height of their run-through. Some old-time tavern guzzlers tried to push usback among the green-beers, but we held our ground. (Pic A) Then the Rainiers arrived in a rush, and itwas too late to do anything but run.with them. Austin (at X) had his camera along, but he quickly realizedthe inadvisability of stopping to snap pictures. I grasped the traditional long-cup (marked by Y) to catchany Mountain Fresh run-offen route. (Pic B) The groves of academe certainly proved tame by comparison.Almost immediately, some other bottles moved in behind us â€” their apparent intention to "cap" a few ofthe spectators along one wall. Austin (again at X) began to show signs of worry, but I was too busyascertaining that one cannot run well backwards. (Pic C) Then we were in the thick of it. While Austinpeered down the neck of 90 gallons on the hoof, I searched for a way out. But as my Philosophy ofEngineering 201 professor was wont to say, "A man's reach must exceed his grasp, or what's a machinefor?" (Pic D) One second after this, we both went under. Getting sloshed, however, really wasn't as I hadanticipated. It seems that Rainiers really are fresh and friendly. I suppose if Austin and I were to visit theNorthwest a second time, we might choose to run again. Since our return to Princeton, our fellowstudents have persisted in asking us to explain the Running of the Rainiers â€” the fascination of man and liquid beast for this annual spring occurrence.

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

First off, the Associated Students has no goals. There are none present in the by-laws, just revised by the present board for the first time in recent years. The by-laws say the AS shall enhance educational and recreational activities for students, and they shall provide services and activities forthe mutual assistance and benefit of the students. They also say the AS should represent all thestudents on campus for the college and the community. But all this says little or nothing and the entiresystem reek of vagueness. Next are the requirements for holding office. Virtually, there are none except to be a full-time student in good academic standing, and the president, in addition, must havecompleted two'calendar quarters of college work, only one of which has to be at Western. Theproblems most elected officials find when they assume office at Western is they don't know how thecommittee system functions, they're not familiar with the past policies of the councils they represent,they don't understand basic parliamentary procedure and, because the by-laws aren't specific, they're not sure what it is they're supposed to be doing. Most times, because of elected responsibilities andscholastic activities, there is no time to become familiar with these systems. Workshops for instruction,understanding and advice would be meaningful. To date there are none routinely planned for newlyelected AS officials. The entire process is lashed together spring quarter with a majority vote andsomehow expected to hang together and function effectively for an entire year afterwards. The AS needsobservation and input from both the public and the press. They must be continually confronted andquestioned. They need to know their effectiveness is not taken tor granted and that someone outthere cares what is going on. They should have unedited minutes of board meetings so there is a clearand precise public record available to anyone who is interested. They need a strong advisor â€” one who is capable of sound governing advise. One who can see a problem approaching and do something aboutit. One with enough credibility and authority that when suggestions are made they are givenconsideration and credence. Until the present system can be pulled together in an organized fashionand reconstructed until it becomes effective as a governing body, the AS board is useless. It is only a$224,000 operation that allows those elected to play politics, poorly at that, for one year. â€” Connie Tedrow Cluster colleges undersold The relationship between Western's cluster colleges and the CoUege ofArts and Sciences is in need of repair. Two of the cluster colleges, Huxley and Ethnic Studies, weredeveloped out of the current need for education in environmental sciences and ethnicity in society . . .two issues very important to today's students and tomorrow's teachers, parents, employers andsociety as a whole. But the full effectiveness of the cluster colleges is not being attained. Because of the colleges' lack of integration with the College of Arts and Sciences, not all Western students are gettingthis necessary education. Because cluster college credits are not accepted as general collegerequirement credits at the college of Arts and Sciences, most Arts and sciences students arediscouraged from taking cluster college courses. The only students benefiting from the cluster collegesare those with majors and minors in them. These students are already aware of the issues dealt with bythe cluster colleges. Many students will leave Western with no knowledge of the problems involving theenvironment and ethnicity. This situation typifies the relationship between the cluster colleges and theCollege of Arts and Sciences, both of which seem to be working in opposite directions. One reason whymany people of the College of Arts and sciences claim the College of Ethnic Studies is keeping a low-profile is because cluster colleges have been played down and pushed into a dark corner. Because ofimproper coordination of their curriculums, the cluster colleges' potentials are not being reached. What is needed is a definition of the roles and interrelationships of the cluster colleges and the College of Artsand Sciences. The themes of the cluster colleges have been acknowledged, but acceptance andsupport for them is nil. If Western's branches of education become less competitive and moresupportive of each other, then they will move a step closer to maximum effectiveness. Before morecluster colleges are established, students, faculty and administration of Western should reevaluateand improve the present situation of its cluster colleges. â€”Suki Dardarian ANN CARLSON ~J "Iconstantly hear people talking about Western being rated in Playboy magazine as a "party school."

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

Intramural softball encourages male-female sexual stereotypes Better gear may not add 'love'- to your game Editor, Western Front: It still seems apparent that men are felt superior to women and that such stereotypes still exist on this campus. This was explicitlydemonstrated by the intramural softball procedures on May 28. Due to some mistake, four softballgames were scheduled on one field at 4 p.m. Wednesday, May 28. This included an all men's divisiongame, an all women's division game and two co-rec division games. Since there are only three umpireson the intramural staff one game had to be canceled. Of course, the game to be canceled was the allwomen's division game. Not only that, but the 5 p.m. all-women's game was also canceled. Considering that many of the women's teams have only played one or two games, if that many, all quarter, where as the co-rec and men's teams have played many more than that, it seems only fair that the women'sdivision games should be allowed to play over the men's and co-rec games.

Concentration, practice and attitude are the basis of anyone's tennis game. For this reason, one should be prudent in buyingtennis equipment.

Expensiveequipment is usually a waste of an individual's money. Knowledgeable advise is offered here.Beginners should spend no more than $12 for a pre-strung wood racket. At this level of tennis, expensive rackets of $50 are only valuable for boosting a player's ego. Even dedicated beginners should spend nomore than $20. Wood rackets are much more useful since they force each player to hit correctly and do not have the sloppy form that metal rackets do.

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

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

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

The AS passed a 50 per cent across the board pay hike, which was later revised. Winter quarter the college was hit with a barrage of legislative financial bombs. And Flora, in his state of the college message, said Western needs a transfusion of fresh blood if it is to avoid the stagnation of100 per cent tenure. This fanned the flame of the already smoldering tenure issue. But Keith Jarrett,Wishbone Ash and the Flaming Zucchini were there to make the quarter a little less gloomy. Springquarter Western talked w about the TRI-ED program and â€¢Â§ the creation of a business and ^economics cluster college.

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

"As faculty than students. He holds power over the faculty and members of hisadministration, so they develop a defensive, adversary relationship. "Olscamp will be up against anentrenched faculty with high power faculty politicians. They'll all try to get their particular views across tohim. He won't have the close ties and friendships inside the college that Flora has cultivated," Wilsonsaid. "He'll have to make them himself." "A person can effectively be a leader of a group only as long asthat group recognizes him as such," AS President-elect Stephen Barrett said. "Flora was not articulate in defending some of the decisions he made on critical issues. That lost him communication with thecollege community. "It's going to be very important for Olscamp to communicate with all theconstituencies of the college," Barrett said. "He must have an available ear for student input and be openin his plans for the direction of Western, especially to the students." AS Vice President Hugh Larkinsaid, "I've heard that Flora was elected because, being a past faculty member, people thought they knewwhat to expect of him. It will be different with Olscamp. "From the start it will be difficult for Olscamp tobe his own man. He'll be dealing with a very cliquish faculty, in that departments are close amongstthemselves, struggling for considerations," he said. "FLORA WAS very active on important issues, but considering other fiscal and policy decisions that must be made, student related policies tended to getless immediate attention," said Jeff Larsen, member of the college Services Council and past member ofthe All-College Senate. "In my dealings with him he seemed terribly paternalistic. He also has definiteproblems with the legislature. Wilson, once a legislative intern in Olympia, attributes this to a personalfeud between Flora and Rp. A.N. "Bud" Shinpock, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee(Appropriations). "Olscamp struck me as being very capable and seemed more into student interestson a factual basis â€” not so much bullshit'," Larsen said. "He'll push for student representative on theBoard of Trustees. With his background, I think he could lead Western away from its liberal arts core." "I sense that he's an authoritarian, but I think he'll have to feel out his administration for a year of so beforehe can implement his new ideas," Larsen said. BARREN OFFICE, PLENTIFUL MIND â€” Acting VicePresident for Academic Affairs Loren Webb plans to make transition period for incoming college presidentPaul Olscamp as easy as possible. New vice president wants to implement policies of students, facultyand trustees LOUIE PHILLIPS ABOUT THE ONLY thing acting Vice President for Academic AffairsLoren Webb has in common with his predecessor, Jerry Anderson, is the shortness of his term. Webb,45, sat in his barren office Wednesday. He wore a short-sleeved white-and-baize striped sui: t with apaisley tie. His hair jutted from behind his ears. One arm was slung around the back of the chair. Theother reached to flick a cigarette ash or grab a cup of coffee. In contrast to Anderson who came from aMichigan school, Webb has been on campus 10 years. For six of those years, he has been director ofthe speech pathology and audiology program. Webb considers himself to be pro-faculty. Anderson wasknown for having squabbles with several faculty members. Webb has a different view of being anadministrator. "It's my belief the success or failure of Western revolves around the faculty, students andadministrators of this institution," Webb said. "I am for faculty. "I want to see myself as animplementer of policies as determined by the faculty, students and Board of Trustees." Webb hopes toget along well with all members of the college community during his one-year tenure. "My firstcommitment is to Western," Webb said. "I'm not going to use my position to build up speech pathology. I will put. college policy first and foremost. "I would like to think one of the reasons I was chosen is that Iam known for my objectivity." Webb said he does not anticipate having any problems taking on theacademic vice presidentship at the same time Paul Olscamp assumes college presidential duties. "MYFEELING IS that we will get along just fine. We are very compatible," Webb said. "I'm flexible. We willhave a good working relationship." Webb made this statement even though he has met Olscamp once, and that was only to shake his hand. However, Webb has often served against College PresidentCharles J. Flora as the 1970-71 Faculty Council chairman. Flora and Webb have a "mutual respect." Itwas Flora who accepted Webb's nomination from the Council of Deans. "I've always been comfortableworking with Flora," Webb said. He believes the same relationship will exist with Olscamp. "Olscampknows I just want to serve a single year," Webb said, referring to his July 1976 return to his department."I presume I was selected because I am someone from the campus that knows the campus so as tomake the transition easier." Webb, though on sabbatical, was on campus to familiarize himself with hisnew job. "I'm not expecting a honeymoon. I expect to go right to work," he said. ---------- Western Front - 1975 June 3 - Page 12 ---------- 12 Western Front- Ttie^UyiJiine 311975^ Gabriel Gladstar returns for musical Farewell Reunion with oldfriends GRANT RANLETT AS THE FULL moon glowed an eerie orange and disappeared into totaldarkness, Gabriel Gladstar played to a gathering of 200 in the Viking Union lounge May 24. Theperformance marked the close of their two-night Farewell Reunion, an event that brought them all the way from San Francisco to bid a musical hello and goodby to the town that had given them the boost of theircareer. Michael Gwinn, Phillip Morgan and Jim Zeiger of Gab riel Gladstar arrived in Bellingham with their family of 15 in an old schoolbus in August 1973. They had been turned away from the Canadian borderon their wav to Vancouver from their home in Laguna Beach, Calif. Their next move was to settle inBellingham. In the 11 months they lived here, Gladstar became one of Bellingham's most popular bandsand completely changed the local music scene. Before Gladstar's arrival there were few places in townwhere good live music could be heard. This band broke the way for hundreds of other musicians whentwo local establishments began featuring live music after Gladstar became the first band to play on theirpremises. The concerts had a warm welcome back feeling. Gladstar was glad to be back in town and the audience greeted them like old friends. A relaxed atmosphere pervaded the lounge as people sat oncouches or on the carpet-covered floor, bathed in the red light of the setting sun shining through theroom's large picture windows. "This view reminds us of San Francisco," Gwinn said as he gazed out onto Bellingham Bay. Appropriately, '"Sunset* was the opening number that evening. Gwinn played lead onhis acoustic Gibson guitar as Morgan supplied his complex, powerful rhythms on his hollow-bodied guitar while Zeiger accompanied them on flute. Gladstar's style could best be called jazz-country. THEIRPIECES WERE of wide variety ranging from the quiet "Did I Hurt You?" with a single guitaraccompanying three voices to the intense, tightly-knit guitar dialogues between Morgan and Gwinn. Theyplayed their own compositions and some fine versions of such songs "Mr. Bo Jangles" and the Byrd's"You Ain't Goin' Nowhere." Woodwinds and guitars were the group's basic instrumentation. Zeiger playedeither a flute or chose from a selection or soprano, alto, and bass saxes. At times, he or Gwinn wouldplay the electric piano/organ. In addition to his acoustic guitar, Gwinn frequently played a black-bodiedelectric Gibson, occasionally switching leads with Morgan. Morgan would sometimes set aside his guitar to play a variety of small percussion instruments. MOON MUSIC - Phillip Morgan, Jim Zeiger andMichael Gwinn played their jazz-country music at their concert in the Viking Union lounge during therecent lunar eclipse. After the first hour-and-a-half set, the band took a ' moon break," giving everyone achance to observe the eclipse. The moon was a silver sliver as the concert ended at 1 a.m. after astanding ovation and an extended- encore. As Gladstar packed their equipment, several of the audiencecrowded the stage to express their appreciation. Later that day a train would take the three musiciansback to San Francisco. 'Jeopardy9 shines in art... lacks in writing BRUCE HAYES This year's"Jeopardy" is 140 pages of poetry, short stories and art work. Some of it is good, but, unfortunately,some of it is not. V The art is "Jeopardy's" best asset. A lovely color reproduction on the cover, "TheConservatory" by Bonnie E. Hammond. A whole rainbow of hues, deep reds, oranges, purples, blues,greens, yellows and intermediate shades swirl and twist to form fairytale foliage and a glassed building of plants and birds. Paintings, drawings of pencil and pen and ink, and etchings, appearing intermittentlythroughout the magazine, are expertly used, some abstractly, in portraits, nudes and landscapes. Inthe writing department, however, "Jeopardy" is lacking something. Some of the poems are, at times,evocative and reach out and grip the reader. Certain lines vividly use their words to form pictures of ameaning, perhaps not the author's, but is very clear. Some of the other poems, seem to have beenwritten as a joke, as though the author was saying how ridiculous can I get and still be mistaken for art? That may not be the intention, but it is the impression conveyed. College authors are pretentious.Some do attempt to say something in their work but a lack of real experience prevents them fromsaying it simply. Too often vulgarity and crudity are used to convey an idea when something less offen Free verse poetry is the most difficult to write. Without a formal guide it is easy to lapse from poetryinto parody, and that is what has happened in "Jeopardy." Fiction-wise, the magazine fares somewhatbetter. There is a tendency toward pessimism in the stories, but many of the characters are well-developed. If some of the situations are a bit pretentious, chalk it up to the writers' lack of experience.There are ideas that are fascinating. All they need are a few more years of development.

Art department te evaluate merits Members ofthe art department are concerned with how the department is run and a general overall outlook of thedepartment. All art studio, art education, art history and art minors are being asked to volunteer inanswering a questionnaire found near the art department office. Some of the questions asked range from "Have you always known what's been going on in the department?" to "Are you getting the kind ofcurriculum you want from the art department?" Other questions cover whether the student plans tocontinue at Western, drop out, or transfer and whether the classes are too crowded.

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

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

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

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.

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

It is strongly suggested that you save it, mark it, and bring it with you to the polls onelection day. This action on your part can cut your voting time by half. 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.

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.

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.

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. "The law isaimed at keeping third parties off the ballot. Under existing law, a third party must hold a nominatingconvention on the day of the Primary election and obtain 100 signatures before the party slate canappear on the ballot.

A special state grand jury in Ohioprobing last May's Kent State University killings, exonerated National Guard troops who fired onstudents.

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.

People who weight lift say it's great. Most people feci that it issupplementary to a well rounded exercise program. In your case, weight lifting that would involve yourinjured shoulder should only be at your doctor's recommendation. In fact, I'd raise my arm slowly in class if I were you. Question: A few of my friends tell me that the latest fad is getting high on the scent otthe adhesive portion of Scotch magic transparent tape. Is this potentially harmful in any way? Answer:This variation on glue sniffing probably makes use of the toxic effects of either the glue or the solventused to get it off the tape. Inhalation of unknown vapors can be very dangerous, sometimes causing liverdisease of convulsions. The package for this particular tape says it is good for permanent use. Sniffingvapors can also be fatal. Question: I am engaged and have had sex. My problem is that even afterseveral times, there is still pain in the vaginal area. Also, I am not able to have an orgasm. My fiance isable to reach a climax even though I cannot. Though I love my fiance, I do not enjoy intercourse but feel-Fshould engage in such activities for his sake. Is there any explanation for the repeated pain and theinability to reach a climax? I would appreciate an immediate reply as I am extremely concerned! Answer: Unlike the man, who must be sexually excited in order to have an erection and participate in.intercourse, the woman can physically participate in intercourse regardless of her state of excitement.Your indication that you do not enjoy intercourse leads me to believe that you are probably not verysexually excited during relations. Tenseness and a lack of vaginal secretions can easily result in apainful experience when a woman attempts sexual intercourse without excitement. Orgasm becomesimpossible. Painful intercourse and lack of climax can also result when excitement- is present, but poortechnique and haste before relations begin, prevents adequate physiological and emotional preparationfor orgasm. The technical part of your question was easy to answer, but the real issue is how to dealwith your relationship with your fiance. You might consider sharing your feelings and concerns aboutintercourse with him. It takes quite a while for most people to feel at ease and enjoy sexual relations.Many couples find that sexual, relations are more satisfactory for both when it is mutually desired andthe emotional and physical aspects of a relationship are fully understood. Many unmarried couplesengage in sexual intercourse, others prefer not to. The key to a successful relationship in this areadepends more upon mutual understanding than it does on what is done or not done. Sexual Expressionin Marriage by Donald W. Hastings, M.D., Bantam Books, provides an excellent discussion of sexualtechnique. Ira Reiss's Premarital Sexual Standards in America, Free Press, paperback providesinteresting reading along a different line. Question: I am almost 19 years of age and have notexperienced nocturnal emission ("Wet dream"). Is there something wrong with me? Answer: Wetdreams are much less common or completely absent in a man who masturbates regularly or is havingregular sexual intercourse. Since almost all men past early adolescence are doing one of the other orboth, I assume you fall into this group. Ninety-nine per cent of men can't be wrong!

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

This is in no small way due to an excellent recruiting effort on thepart of Long last spring. Because of it Western is not having to overcome a sheer manpower disadvantage as in past years. But the Viking's football fortunes are to an extent being underminded by the programwithin which it exists. One area is coaching. This year the Viking football coaching staff has only threemembers. Assisting'Long are one full-time assistant and a graduate assistant. Such a situation is absurdconsidering the number of athletes involved. Of the eight Evco schools, the average football coaching staff consists of five members. Every school except Western has at least three full-time assistants. EasternWashington tops the Evco with a total of eight coaches on its football staff. Central has six, OregonCollege five, Southern Oregon five, Whitworth five, Eastern Oregon four and Oregon Tech four. But acoaching deficiency is not the only roadblock facing Viking football. Hampering recruiting are a number of factors that do not affect other Evco schools. For example Western's entering freshmen must have a 2.5grade point average in high school. Other Evco schools have entering freshman g.p.a. requirementsranging from 2.25 down to 2.0. Also due to booming enrollment Western's new policy barring out-of-statestudents adds yet another disadvantage. Another problem is that a junior varsity football program is non-existant at Western, due mostly to the fact of an inadequate staff. Another liability is that of not having afull-time trainer. Certainly graduate assistants and students handling the job do their best, but lack oftime and experience on their part make for an extremely poor situation for a college-level football program. Against some non-conference opponents even greater obstacles must be overcome. For example Simon Fraser conducts regular spring football workouts and has many players on athletic scholarships. It hasbeen factors such as these that have contributed to Western's sharing in only three conference titlessince the league was formed in 1948. In that time the other three schools in the Evco since its formation(central, Eastern, Whitworth) have won at least four outright titles and tied for another. Certainly winningis not the basic end of an educationally-oriented athletic program. But the program should at least provide some measures by which winning can be possible. If the football program at Western is going to be runonly to compete then it should be put down to the intramural level where it belongs. For many of the other values which athletics can teach, are lost in the context within which football now exists at Western.
