There will be a meeting of the Seattle club on Thursday morning immediately after assembly for a few minutes. Bring your dues and an idea written on a piece of paper for the improvement of the club. Without these two things we can do nothing. The proceeds of the Thespian play of this year will be given over to some worthy cause in connection with the war. Nothing more than this is known at present. The exact benefit to which it will be given has not as yet been decided. MILITARY PARTY Tuesday. Feb. 19, at 4:10, in the bio gym, the' Y. W. C. A. girls will entertain the student body and faculty in honor of the new students, at a military party. Watch the bulletin board for the poster and sign your name and the division in which you wish to serve. Everybody save the date and come prepared to have a good time. ATTENTION Arthur Waldwyn Evans, the Welsh wit, and humorist, scheduled for our ly-ceum course on Monday evening. Feb. 18, will be a treat that none of us can afford to miss. He treats a deeply serious subject with the light fascinating touch of an artist and holds the audience with intoxicating merriment throughout the evening. It takes essentially the hand of a master to tell "What America Means to Me" in a time like the present and at the same time keep the audience amused. Mr. Evans' former success is enough recommendation but for those who ask more we might say that he is a relative of David Lloyd George, the British Premier; is widely travelled and thoroughly familiar with political conditions the world over.

MILLER RECEIVES I R E PRAISE FOR BOOK The following article was taken from the "New England Journal of Education," Boston. Jan. 17: "Education for the Needs of Life," by Irving E. Miller, Ph. D. "Through clear statements of clarified thinking along lines of real needs of the child .youth and adult life, the author is helpfully informing, intelligently, suggestive and inspiringly intensive. No one can carefully study 'Education for the Needs of Life" without having a broader vision of the mission and message of the teacher. It is a book which guarantees success through teaching and the vitalization of learning on the part of reader or student." KLIPSUN CONTEST PRIZES The Board of Control has voted to offer alluring prizes for the best contributions to the Literary Dopartm„n lt; of this year's Klipsun. For the best short story $10.00 will be given ;for the second best, $5.00. Other prizes are: Best essay on a current topic. $5.00. second best, $2.50: best poem, $5.00, second best, $2.50. The judges chosen for the contest are Mr. Glenn Hughes. Miss Mabel Zoc Wilson, and Miss Georgia Springer. Other details regarding the length of manuscripts and the time limit for their being handed in will be announced within a short time. In the meantime, the Literary Editor, Mr. Frisk, is anxious that a larger number of contributions should be commenced. S NEXT WEEK "Education for the Needs of Life" is the title of Dr. I. E. Miller's new book. This is also the theme of the Second Rural Life Conference which will be held the evening of March 20th, continuing through the 21st and 22nd. The program which is being prepared at considerable effort will be sent out in the near future. It consists of new films and no long waits. Every seat should be occupied before the lights are turned out for the first reel. Come for the beginning act and stay until the choir sings, "Hallelujah 'tis done." Lunch will be served at the building between scenes so there will be nothing missed by delayed jitneys, or by waits for the goose to be served when it had not been caught. Side shows will be conducted during the time the big tent is dark. One will admit the business man who wants to learn what psychology has to do with the price of foodstuff. Another will tell how to secure hard-tack in our own back yard, not at the front. A third will tell how to knit a sock that could be used either for a mitt or a helmet. (Continued on Page Eight) . STEINER'S LECTUR! IAL INTEREST A large and appreciative audience listened to the lecture by Dr. Edward A. Steincr on January Sth. He brought us an inspiring message, his subject being, "The Challenge of American Spirit.'" "There are others to be blamed for starting the war," said Dr. Steincr. "Peace canont come too soon, and as to what will happen when the war does end. no one knows. The future is a sealed book. "Most reluctantly this nation entered the war after closely watching the trend of affairs, and out of a peaceful people has come one of the most remarkable armies of the period. Neverbefore has there been a cleaner, braver, finer set of men in the cantonments under the stars and stripes, than there is today. This nation is a more unified and well moulded structure than can be found among the other nations. For example, the Germans are hammered together an-1 not moulded. The United States is politically united and even the one-third of our population are of foreign blood, yet we are trying to make a people out of many nationalities. The determining fin-tor if one is an American is not that lie was born here, but born again after coming here. It is spirit rather than blood. "The two factors which make a nation hold its people, are its language and its history. This country is destined to be an English-speaking nation. It has remained triumphant, and has crept into the speech of the foreigners. "America is a history of people—not of kings and dynasties." Dr. Steiner paid high tribute to Washington. Lincoln, Roosevelt. Taft. Byron, Wilson and other Americans and he said that the people arc as ready to thrill at the sight of the Stars and Stripes as they ever were. L LIFE CLUB So many are asking of the schools of the state, that plans be worked out in harmony with the country's needs. This, in brief, is the plan proposed by the Rural Life Conference which will be held in the Normal School, Bellingham, Wash,. March 20-21-22. Sections will be arranged in which definite, practical relations will be discussed. The business man will discuss Education in Business. Educational Methods in Religion will have a place; war cooking and war sewing will be demonstrated; in short, every phase of the needs of the country will be on the program. Supt. Ethel Everett of Whatcom County, has decided to have all of her teachers present for the full time. At least two other counties will assist by having part or all of their teachers here. A STORY THAT THE CENSOR 1 NOT SEE There has always been a ieeling that the fields are greener far away—and we never recognize the geniuses with whom we come in contact da/ by day. Clever students of human nature sometimes keep their discoveries hidden from view and pursue their daily work on equal footing with the most commonplace. I have before me a widely circulated eastern magazine, with a very strong article entitled, "Home and School," written by Professu gt;- O'Shea of the University of Wisconsin and when I had finished reading it, I turned the pige* and my eyes fell upon this title, "Her Eldest Son," a short story, fully illustrated, beautifully written, and charmingly told by our own Olive Edens. I knew this would interest the students, and I knew also that Miss Edens is literary critic for the Messenger, and again I know if she sees this article that it would come to an untimely end in the waste basket, so I am taking a chance and putting one over on Miss Edens by handing it in without her criticism. On Lincoln's birthday the Junior Red Cross campaign began with a program in the assembly. The campaign will be waged for the next ten days, ending with Washington's birthday, and it is hoped that during this time many ?ie\v members will be added to the organization and greater interest shown in it.J. work. In the past week the. grammar grade girls, with the aid of a few Normal girls, have completed four little dresses for Belgian children. CHORAL CLUB CONCERT Mrs. Thatcher gave another one of her creditable concents Friday evening.

President Nash's opening words were of appalling and dreadful import. The morning papers had stated the opinion of one Mr. Russell, American envoy to Russia, concerning the probable supremacy of Germany's arms as a result of the Bolsheviki treaty with that country. Dr. Nash admitted the seriousness of the conditions in regard to the safety of Democracy and Democracy's Allies. But he also affirmed his optimism, saying that the United States will win, she must win! But oh! the need of the help of even the least of us who live under the Stars and Stripes. Our first duty is to keep up courage and hope in the breasts of our soldiers—a thing that lies in the power of us all. These few words served as an introduction to the talk of Mr. Short, a resident of Bellingham, a patriot seeking ways to help the "boys." After a brief discussion of our soldiers' need of relaxation from their hours of toil, and what this recreation means to them, he gave to us a tangible means of bringing to the camps a little of innocent cheer. All Yankees are lovers of the modern "movie"—the place where one may go and live many lives in many countries, and forget the narrow confines of daily labor.

He held up before the students tiny books which contained twenty different worldly careers, twenty different experiences of human lives, twenty different meanings, joys and sorrows. He offered these for sale at the small price of $1.00 which will help America in her crisis to avert the onslaught of the bloody, vicious Hun. Our dollar will send these twenty shows as messengers of love and cheer to those who long for them so much. We know that Mr. Short's endeavors will not be fruitless. Mr. Short was followed by Rev. Duncan McPhail of the Baptist church oi this city, who gave a very appropriate and original speech on Lincoln and his work for humanity. His opening word?, full of promise, hope and truth, were, "In the New Testament we find that a man was sent from God whose name was John." He went on to say that that has been God's great gift to mankind all through the ages; every generation or so he sends a man of Godlike principles to emancipate and bring the people to a little higher civilization and intellectual progression. In the time of the Dark Plague of Uncle Sam, a man of God appeared whose name was Abraham Lincoln. The anecdotes of his honesty are so well known, that Rev. McPhail did not think it necessary to say any more than, "The proverb is true in all instances; 'honesty is the best policy !' " He then described Lincoln's industry, in words which led us to recognize the stupendous blessing Lincoln's words portended, when he said, upon seeing the slaves, "If ever, by the help of God, I am able to strike a blow against this nefarious practice. I will do so and do it hard." He was shocked at the suggestive fact that these poor creatures were able to sing and be jolly amidst their degredation; that they had become as dumb brutes satisfied- with brute treatment. Well, by the help of God he did strike a blow and one that, resounded and echoed through the world. His common sense showed most plainly in his knowledge and treatment of human nature—his tactful intuition in the use of his tongue. When asked at one time his opinion of Sheridan,- his words were, "Sheridan, Oh! Sheridan! Well, I will tell you what I think of him. He is one of these men with long arms and short legs who is able to scratch his shins without stooping. That's what I think of Sheridan." What meaning his empty words conveyed! His mercy is the quality which healed the nation's wounds and refined the nation's people. Rev. McPhail's quoting of Portia's famous "Mercy Speech," never came in more apportunely. His faith was strong and true. When discussing the surety of God's being on the side of the North, he replied, in his great, gentle voice, "It does not worry me if God is on our side; the supreme question is whether we are on God's side." The Double Quartet report that they have had delightful times at the various places where they have sung. Last Saturday they had an especially enjoyable evening at Laurel, while on Tuesday they were at Eureka. Ella Wilken and Heloise Eggers look rather lonesome without their chafing dishes.

THE EXCHANGE A LIVE WIRE Have you seen the "Exchange?" It is a little paper published right here in our print shop in the interest of commercial work, home economies, rural school and industrial arts education. Mr. Scudder, the editor, says he is only the middle man for the exchange of ideas, and is encouraging the teachers now in the field to tell through the paper how they are solving their problems. Besides this valuable correspondence the paper contains valuable manual training projects with diagrams for making, and other interesting features. the program of the Canadian Club last Friday evening. Margaret Burnhatn Several of the students took part in gave a vocal solo, Hazel Huntsberger a reading, and Willard Yerkes a cornet solo.

RURAL LIFE " A club that is successfully training its members for future teachers, in more lines than one, especially parliamentary drill, is our Rural Life club. After our sectional meetings on Thursday, Feb. 7, we adjourned to the main assembly room for our business meeting and program, where a delightful evening was enjoyed. In the absence of Rudie Oltman, who has enlisted in the navy, we elected Myrle Onstine chairman of the membership committee, and Herbert Davis as vice-president of the club. Mr. Klemme, who has been away on extension work, was given a hearty welcome back into the club. He gave us a most stirring talk on the requirements of the rural school teacher. Miss Keeler then told us, in a very clever and interesting way, the history of our club gavel. The gavel was then presented to the president by Lael Eas-terbrooks. This being "Lincoln night" in our club, an especially good program was given: Some interesting incidents of Lincoln's life—Ruth Swartz. What we owe to Abraham Lincoln- Margaret Murray. FOR SEATTLEITES ONLY Act. I. Bellingham. Scene—Normal school. Halls, classrooms, groups of intelligent, superior-looking people around mumbling to themselves the following: "We are from Seattle, but if you value your life don't tell anybody. We are ashamed of it and have succeeded Glasses, once the sign of age, are now the sign of good sense. If you cannot study with eye comfort the sooner you consult Woll the better. 205 West Hollv Street. splendidly in keeping the awful fact almost universally unknown since September. We must admit we did thaw out once for College Club night bur, hurried right back under cover." The year will soon be over now and if we can only keep up our past record and if our rubber-soled shoes don't wear out, we will be able to pat ourselves on the back, draw a big sigh of relief, as we stealthily step on the night boat and say, "Thank goodness! • a whole year at the Normal and nobody knows where we're from!" And then we will put our hands into our pockets and with miserly joy take out the quarter that we saved the last semester. We will look at it. turn it over and over, bite it maybe, and say to ourselves nobly, but perchance a little sadly, "You little quarter—my dues for last semester, it was you who made the Seattle club' die, it was you, with my help^ who made it the worst club in school when it ought to have been the biggest and best; we are pretty poor little boosters, you and I." We shall think what we might have done, the friends we might have made—had we had the interest we ought to have had in our club. THESPIANS MEET A rare treat was given the Thespians at their last meeting when Miss Eden.s delightfully told of some of the theatres and plays she had seen while in England and France. The following officers were elected: President—Johnny Miller. Vice-President—Marie Armstrong. Secretary—Myrtle Pugsley. Treasurer—Rainhardt Hanson. Sergeant-at-Arms—Paul Washke. Messenger Reporter—Helen Upper. WEIR INN Mabel Trafton spent the week end at her home in Anacortes. Emmet Tupper is visiting his wife, who is attending Normal.

Games were played, after which came "eats" long to be remembered by all those present. One of the main features was a snowy-white cake adorned with twenty red candles. Frances blew them out with two puffs. Wonder what that signifies? The girls at the Cedars are much interested in war cooking. Anna Brown has made a sjjccialty of cornmeal muffins. She will be glad to give all of those so desiring a sample, as she still has a quantity to spare. Spring is surely on the way. Jewel Smith and Marian Osborn are already planning their gardens. Virgil Ranton and Elizabeth Gwinn were callers at the Cedars during the past week. Two lost dogs have made their home at the hall. If the owners will call for the canines, no reward will be requested. One girl among our crowd, Marian Osborn, has distinguished herself by going to bed before ten o'clock for the entire past quarter. DON'T MISS n ew Gas and Wood and Coal Range.

The person who is always giving a piece of his mind is usually the person who has the least mind to spare—Anon. VIRTUE AND HABIT Too many people have the idea that virtue is worth while only when it is on exhibition. Note, for instance, the expression "company manners." Should a person be any less courteous when hi? does not have visitors than when lie does? Does he mean to say, by this expression that he does not bother about being polite when no one is watching? We have seen this same style of reasoning in other things. A few days ago a student was rehearsing a recitation to be given in public, and when it was remarked that that person's standing position was not good, the reply came, "Oh. this is only practice, I'll stand correctly when I get on the stage." Here is where so many people make a serious mistake. They do not realize that if they cultivate good habits in private these habits will follow them into public, and that bad habits will-do the same. The formation of good habits involves the study of self, the untiring correction of bad habits, and the repeated performance of acts that are as difficult in their accomplishment as they are worth while after they become habitual. So all progress is made in the development of the. individual. After he has mastered one good habit, and made it a part of himself, he is ready for the next, and so he builds himself up. Some one has said that the individual is one great bundle of habits. If this is true, it makes some difference whether the habits are .good or bad, and we readily see what we are doing for ourselves every time we acquire a good habit. "WHAT WE NEED IS SHIPS" Comradship Comradship is a large word, a large-hearted word, that makes of one "his brother's keeper." It is one of the EDIMIA1S sweetest things in life, and having the spirit of comradship covers often a multitude of sins. There are persons who do not discriminate carefully, that imagine that •'•'chums" arc "comrades," but it is a serious error. We may be '•'chummy" with a few people and lack the essentials of comradship utterly. And what is this comradship then that is so desirable? It has three distinctive characteristics, namely, helpfulness, or service, not to a few,—our friends, but to whomever we may meet; unselfisn-ncss, not counting the cost to yourself for serving; and cheerfulness, which gives a sweet savor to the whole. Easy to acquire, and simple in nature, isn't it? It is the characteristic of a good soldier, of a true friend, of a successful student, and of thorough gentleman or woman, the world over. It belongs to the one who lias a cheery "good morning" for every fellow being rc-ing regardless of station, ability or personal beauty; to the man who slaps his employee on the back and says, "Your wife better this morning, my man?" To the man who lifts as gently from the dust a homely dressed, ignorant woman, as a charming, pretty girl; to the soldier who shares his last drop of water in "No Man's Land." Indeed, it is the true spirit of the Christ as it seeks to dwell in men's hearts, and when the world around, there lives in the hearts of the individual his comradeliness, the great Brotherhood of Man will be established with peace on earth. Be a comrade to the one who rubs elbows with you. whether he be a dear friend or whether you hardly know his name. But of all the ships, comradeship is the best, for it includes us all. WHY! The other evening As I was walking Down the street Meditating Upon Rev. Conwell's Lecture, it seemed to me There was a great And urgent Need Right here Under our noses in our own Normal And wondered why Bill Edson, Or some one, Didn't get busy And make his Name famous, His memory Honored And commemorated And blessed By student Teachers, For such honor Awaits him Who invents An automatic Lesson plan writer. —G. M. Lvon. S Q U I B S We would like to know who induced Crete Gray to join the Sparklers' club. Phil Montague has decided to not "visit" Miss Boring's Social Science class in the future. We would like to know why Gig Davis is all dolled up like a million dollars. A student jokingly said to Mr. Kibbe: "Is your hair dyed?" Mr. Kibbe replied, "Yes. most of it has." They say Miss Cummins is an expert shot with a rifle. Perhaps that explains her power as a disciplinarian. Miss Georgia Springer has been chosen student judge of the literary work for the Klipsun. We know of no student more capable. Jessie and Vera Merchant spent last week with Mr. and Mrs. Madsen at Lyn-den. They say it takes seven dollars' worth of fuel to heat the big assembly, and we are wondering what is being done with the other six dollars and ninety cents. In spite of the fact that war cookery is required, the student body is much interested in the work. Miss Ormsby is easily the master of the unusual situation, and apparently finds no more difficulty in handling a class of seven or eight hundred students than is ordinarily experienced in a class of twenty-five. With her skill and personality, Miss Ornisby inspires a desire to make use of all the demonstrations she gives, and it is generally admitted that all of the students are interested and are finding the results satisfactory as well as profitable, when cric-f" out. He—"Why is Carver like a Pullman car ?" She—"I give up." He—"Because he's some coach. Mr. Beaver:—"Before I begin to talk, there are several things I want to say."

PICTORIAL REVIEW PATTERNS ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1918 February 16 - Page 6 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, FEB. 16, 1918 AMONG BOOKS By Glenn Hughes VI. Arnold Bennett:—It seems almost an insult to one's intelligence and education to be told facts about Arnold Bennett, and yet there may be a few individuals to whom the name is unfamiliar. This English writer of the younger generation has been in vogue for approximately ten years now, and has been discussed in magazines and drawing-rooms and class-rooms at quite regular intervals during those years. Estimates as to his place in modern literature vary widely— due in large measure to the fact that his style and literary method are in some points extreme. Every one agrees, however, that now and then at least Bennett has hit a high water mark of fiction. Disparaging criticisms arise mostly from those who dislike journalistic qualities in literature—for Bennett is a first-rate journalist. There is little doubt but that "The Old Wives' Tale," a novel of considerable length and detail, is Bennett's masterpiece of writing. The conception of the1 work, explained interestingly in the author's preface, is an original and daring one; the execution is certainly an amazing product. It came near setting an entirely new model of realism. The reader is astounded for months after he has Had the book aside, at the ability of a man to carry him through several hundred pages of sordid and woefully commonplace details, and then leave him with the sense of having read one of the great tragedies of modern literature. This is exactly what Bennett succeeds in doing. There is no use attempting to deny the presence of great art in this work. Another of his important contributions to the late novel is a triology—a fine STUDENTS If you are going to have photographs made, why not have quality and good workmanship. It is this that gives our photographs a style and finish, lacking in the most of work turned out.

Patronize Your Next Door Neighbor Our Goods and Prices are Right L set of narratives, with superb characterizations— going under the titles, "Clay-hanger," "Hilda Lessways," and "These Twain." The three were published separately, in their chronological order, and excited considerable interest and suspense on the part of English and American readers. (For it is only fair to say that America really recognized Bennett before England did; and this is a rare occurrence. Three or four years ago Bennett made a trip to the United States, his first venture, and his keen wit was impressed in a most fascinating manner. His reactions to our institutions, our supposedly native characteristics, and our large cities, are recorded in vigorous, colorful style in a volume called "Your United States." It is on the travel shelf in our library. Bennett as a dramatist is known chiefly by "Milestones," which is not purely his, as Arthur Knoblauch collaborated with him in its creation. However, there are three other volumes of Bennett's plays on our shelves. "The Honeymoon" is a three-act comedy, "What the Public Wants" is a four-act comedy-satire, "Polite Farces" is a collection of one-act drawing-room comedies—comedies that act well and read rapidly. They all contain a sufficient .number of laughs to justify them. As an essayist, this versatile writer is exceptionally successful. He adopts a breezy, familiar, superficially clever style in order to catch the tired business man and the casual reader. He cannot turn mental flip-flops as can Chesterton or Shaw, but he can illustrate hi3 ideas with a convincing punch, and that is all that one can ask of a novelist and playwright. "How to Live on 24 Hours a Day" is his most popular collection of prose discussions. The contents of this thin volume are as ingenious as their title; they also contain much good sense. "The Human Machine," and "Mental Efficiency are of the same type, but arc perhaps more studied in their methods of expression. Here, of course, Bennett is the dyed-in-thc-wool journalist— tricky-, verbose, obvious, exaggerated, but withal, sincere, witty, and pleasant reading for the seashore. TO MOUNT BAKER Oh lofty form, so snowy white, Crowned with the morning's purest light; Wilt thou not tell me from thy height What is the secret of thy might? In Winter's mists or Summer's haze My eyes to thee I love to raise And as I fondly gaze and gaze For thee my heart is full of praise. And when the mist they glory hides, And o'er thy form the storm king rides: Yet will I still in thee confide, For thou are firm whate'er betide. Thou art a balm for human woe And on us beings here below Thy kindly smile dost free bestow, As from thy base proud rivers flow. Oh, noble pillar of the skies— God made thee from the earth to rise; Thy being with His wish complies, And in thy robes no evil lies. —E. Kobelt. THE WORLD HATES A HATER E. J. Klemme Drummond says: "Love is the greatest good in the world," then hate, its opposite, is the greatest evil. Love warms, hate freezes. Love attracts, hate repels. Love speaks in the sunshine of life; hate is seen in the dark clouds and furious storms. All the world loves a lover and hates a hater. Love nourishes alike the loved and the lover; hate wastes both the hated and the hater. When hate comes creeping into your life "think straight" and because of the damage it inflicts both to the giver and the receiver, straightway force it out of your thought. Hate hurts the hater more than the hated—the latter often refuses to admit the hate. Procrastination is a virtue when applied to hate. Never hate today if you can put it off until tomorrow. If you have recently sent out little darts of hate, chase them and change them to angels of love or bury them forever. Do this, and you will clearly understand what William Lloyd Garrison meant when he said, "I have always with me two constant companions—a cheerful disposition and a clear conscience." We wonder how many of our readers have ever read the following poem on our school, written by Fred Prouty, a local journalist and poet. The Messenger takes pleasure in giving it space in our literary department.

Sometime they stand in serried rank, Or lone upon some river oank, Or in the ooze of marshland dank, Our friends, the giant trees. To me, their friend, it matters not I count them best of all I've got— Their presence doth me please..

Four are below the eighth grade and one takes high school work. There have been several schools in western Jefferson county, just around her, where there has been but one pupil in the grades. (My sister is teaching such a one now.) The schoolhouse is just about half way between the Olympic mountains and Pacific ocean. It is situated on the south side of Hoh river and on the north side of a ridge of hills, so that for two or three months in winter the sun only comes up to the tree tops. We have had about two clear days since last fall, and a few sunshiny spells during some days so as to get some fine rainbows. The most of the time it has been rain, rain, rain, without any bows. We get twelve or thirteen feet of rain a year. We have had only six or seven floods this winter. Trails and bridges suffered quite a lot. This is a very well settled community, there are two families and six bachelors all within twelve miles!" ESTELLE BURNSIDE WRITES FROM STANWOOD, WASH.

Presently she said, 'I wanted mamma to let me wear my new dress today for I knew you were going to be there to teach us.' I asked her how she knew I would be there, and she calmly replied that it was all over town. I like teaching one grade a great deal better than teaching mixed grades in a rural school. I am teaching all of the subjects except music; one of the other teachers teaches music for me. One of the high school teachers had been teaching the penmanship but I shall have it from now on."

AFTER SUNSET I have an understanding with the hills At evening when the slanted radiance fills Their hollows, and the great winds let them be. And they are quiet and look down on me. Oh, then I see the patience in their eyes, Out of the centuries that made them wise. They lend me hoarded memory, and I learn Their thoughts of granite and their whims of fern, And why a dream of forests must endure Though every tree be slain; and how the pure, Invisible beauty has a word so brief, A flower can say it, or a shaken leaf, But few may ever snare it in a song, Though for the quest a life is not too long. When the blue hills grow tender, when they pull The twilight close with gesture beautiful. And shadows are their garments and the air Deepens, and the wild veery is at prayer. Their arms are strong around me; and I know That somehow I shall follow when you go To the still land beyond the evening star, Where everlasting hills and valleys are, And silence may not hurt us any more. And terror shall be past, and grief and war. —Ex. From your neighbor you need not borrow The lesson he has learned, But rather, study till the morrow, And have your knowledge earned. R. B. O.

ETIQUETTE OF THE FLAG The position of the flag is aloft, from a pinnacle of a building higher than th lt;- gt;. furniture of a room, and above the one carrying it. Tlie flag must not be raised before sunrise nor remain up after sunset. In raising or lowering the flag, it must never be allowed to touch the ground. When the flag is raised formally, all present should stand at attention with hand raised to forehead ready to salute. When the colors are passing on parade, spectators, if walking, shall halt; if sitting, arise—and stand at attention. The flag hung out of doors should always fly to the breeze, preferably from a pole, and should never be fastened co the side of a building, platform or scaffolding. The flag should never be placed belo^v a person sitting, nor be used as a cover for a table, desk, or box, nor should anything be placed on it except it be a Bible. The flag should never be placed where it will be struck by a gaval. The flag should not be worn as part of the whole of a costume. When worn as a badge it should be small and pinned over the left breast or on the left coat lapel. The flag should never be washed. When worn or torn it should be reverently burned. Ex.

When sheltered by their swaying boughs Then all my noble instincts rouse— I pledge again my highest vows— In friendly shade and deep. But when from their secluded way Mid haunts of men I daily stray, For grace and strength I have to pray My plighted vows to keep. If I could live within some glade Beneath the fir tree's kindly shade, Much easier than it is. Of all the men that I have met Not one could wear a coronet So kingly-wise and have it set As fir tree weareth his. When my last day draws near its close And tired hands shall seek repose, When tear on friendly eyelid shows O lay me 'neath a fir— No monument that man has made Will be as welcome as the shade Within some cool and quiet glade Where boughs awhispering stir. For there within my lowly bed With kindly boughs above me spread, Old dust to dust shall lose its dread In quiet peace and deep; And growing there above my sod Its freindly roots shall pierce the clod And bear it upward toward the God Who doth the spirit keep. And thus in death the gentle tree That during life has sheltered me Will like a Jacob's ladder be, And point the way to Him.

WAR A storm of shell bursts o'er the plain, The shrapnels shriek and yell, A thousand fall in leaden rain, Of orgy like to hell. A thousand mothers' sons have died A monarch's whim to please; A thousand sons, their father's pride, In death have found release. Have found release from home and friends, From all that they held dear— Have gone to meet untimely ends— They fought without fear. They fought for freedom, so they^ thought, And fighting died like men, And yet their fighting gained them nought Unless they live again. Their monarch can't restore a life, Nor heal a gaping wound, He, only, can direct the strife ^ That sends their dust to ground. 'Tis centuries since the Savior came And shed his precious blood; And we who believe upon His name Must tremble at this flood: This flood of rapine, war and lust, That's grinding millions down— We cannot falter in our trust, Nor spare repugnant frown. The gospel semmage, "Peace, good will," To every man was given; Its meaning lingers with us still To point the way to Heaven. Has Christ indeed then died in vain, Has his religion failed? Or is this dreadful curse a stain Like some disease entailed Upon the race of human kind For sins by forebears done? If such the case, then bear in mind, The victory will be Avon, For I have faith that we will yet, Before our race is run, See sin by righteousness upset— A place for goodness in the sun. And when that glorious time appears, And sin, and strife, are fled May love of Christ allay our fears— It was for this He bled. And I am sure that God above Who sent His only Son To fight the battles of His love Will see the victory won. —S. H. Hamer. Shop with Messenger advertisers. COLLINS CO.

Devoted to the Interests of the Student Body, Washington State Normal School BELLINGHAM, WASH., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1 9 17 No. 20 Assembly TAKE TIME TO LIVE! "You students work too hard," was the opening remark made by Miss Norton on Monday while addressing the student body, and one received with acclamation. She continued, however, in her inimitable way, "You do not accomplish too much, but you work too hard. Take time to appreciate life, nature, and the beauty to be found in everything. "Is it enough that you should admire the vividly tinted sunsets, or the bright colors of autumn? The deep purples, subdued blues and grays of winter possess a message also. "The doing of things is a valuable phase of life, but do not let the doing side crowd out the seeing and hearing part of your life. Have an open mind —see beauty wherever you look—hear beautiful music—read good and enjoyable books, for the pleasure they afford, as well as for knowledge. "Take time to live! Some of us are paying too much life for living. We must stop and live as we go along. Did yon ever stretch out on a sandy beach ar on some sunny slope— all alone with nature—rest and think? Try it— this sort of thing aids actual living. You will accomplish more if you really live more. In the words of Lowell: " 'Merely to bask and ripen is sometimes the wiser scholar's ideal.' "Then I should add a word to the 3ld expression, and say, 'Stop, look, isten and live!' " This was Miss Nor- :on's closing remark to a very inspiring address. TINA LERNER, The Brilliant Russian Pianist. UNA LERNER 10 BE E 1 POWER OF A PURPOSE. We were fortunate in having with is last Friday, Principal W. C. Weir, )f the South Side High School. Among )ther phases of the question of ideals le mentioned the great power of hav-ng a purpose in life—an ideal, which ;ver advances as it is approached. "Ideals," he continued, "give a main enter to life. Our character cannot ise above our ideals—they are the re-ult of purposeful endeavor. They orm a standard by which we may mild our lives—play up, play the ame, and have an aim." Mr. Weir pointed out, also, that the atalogue of the ages shows lives that ave developed under some definite urpose or ideal—that the lack of a hance holds no man down, if he de-ermines to rise and follow his ideal. Students and faculty of the Normal School of Bellingham are especially interested in the orchestra, for the school proudly claims Madame Eng-berg, director, as a member of the Normal music department. Miss Frances Hays, now manager of the orchestra, was also until recently a valuable instructor at the Normal. The program for the concert for March 2 is highly attractive. Its numbers are: 3. Italian Symphony Mendelssohn 4. Piano soli— (a) Impromptu A Flat Major.-Chopin (b) Ecossaises Chopin (c) Nocturne F Minor Chopin (d) Valse, Opus 34 No. 1 Chopin TINA LERNER. .5. Invitation to the Waltz.... .Weber 6. Piano soli— (a) Polichinelle Rochmaninoff (b) Au Couvent Borodine (c) Music Box Liadow (d) C'-mpanella Liszt TINA LERNER. 7. Andante Cantabile (Strings) Tschaikowsky 5. Marche Slav Tschaikowsky 1. Merry Wives of Windsor Nicolai 2. Concerto for Pianoforte with Orchestra Greig Allegro Moderato Adagio Allegro Marcato TINA LERNER. On the Wednesday preceding the concert Mrs. Irving J. Cross and Mrs. C. X. Larrabee will give a second of their delightful interpritive recitals. Mrs. Larrabee will talk of the history and theme of some of the most beautiful numbers on the concert program, and she and Mrs. Cross will then interpret them on the piano.

EDMUND VANCE Edmund Vance Cooke, the well known American poet and lecturer, will be at the Normal Monday evening. Mr. Cooke has written several books of verse. He was engaged in journalism at one time, and from that turned to the lecture platform. He has been engaged in this work since 1893, and is therefore one of the veterans in that field of work. In the lecture course number Monday night, Mr. Cooke will give his lecture, "The Religion of Democracy," which he will illustrate with some of his own poems. ---------- Weekly Messenger - 1917 February 24 - Page 2 ---------- THE WEEKLY MESSENGER, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1.917 Collars Collars You will notice a marked difference in them if sent to the Cascade Laundry They not only last longer, but they fit more satisfactory.

L FIVE IS STILL UNDEFEATED On Monday, Feb. IS, the Normal basketball team returned home from a successful trip in Eastern Washington. They played three games while away and still have their record unmarred by defeat. The games were played with the College of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Ellensburg Normal and Pros-ser Athletic club, respectively. The two former teams have appeared on the local floor this season, each time being defeated decisively. . The return game with the College of Puget Sound, was much faster than the first game, due to the largeness of the gmn, and the fact that both teams showed marked improvement in their playing. The final score was 30 to 14. The line-up: W. S. N.—Wold and Kennett, forwards; Davenport and Ansett, guards; White, center. C. P. S.—Miller, and Curtis, forwards; Woody and Hanawall, guards; Huntington, center. Substitutions—Ford for Davenport, and Rocky for Wold. Summary—Field goals: White, 4; Kennett, 3, and 6 fouls; Davenport, 2; Huntington, 2; Ford, 1; Anstett, 1; Wold, 1; Miller, 1, and 8 fouls. "Tii the return game with Ellensburg Normal the Bellingham boys were in entirely new conditions. Scattered about in the Ellensbui-g gym are large osts that at one time were paddet, but most of which has been worn off ana in some of the warmer mixups these immovable structures would suddenly loom up and take an active part in the contest. The Bellingham boys, however are used to overcoming obstacles and had little trouble in winning by the score of 43 to 17. The line-ups: Bellingham Normal—Wold and Davenport, forwards; Anstett and Ford, guards; Rocky, center. Ellensburg Normal—Campbell and Green, forwards; Eaton and M. White, guards; Beck, center. Substitutions, Bellingham—Kennett for Wold; J. White for Kennett. If it's a stylish, natty, serviceable, shoe you want, remember Raymond's-the real shoe store. Geo. F.

The Prosser team composed of old high school stars, were confident that the Normal team Avould be easy meat but when the visitors got into action their hope were blasted. The Eastern Washington boys have a good team, but the Bellingham quintet played the best game it has ever played and . the local five was out-clased in all departments of the game. There was a large crowd out to see the game and the zest and vim of the crowd did much to add to the attraction. The line-up: Bellingham Normal—Wold and H.

"History of St. Valentine's Day," Miss Warren; reading by Miss Dybdahl; song, "Corn-in' Thru the Rye," by the club. Mrs. King then read an interesting clipping, which Miss Woodard kindly gave to the club, telling of the life of Ohiyesa. The remainder of the evening was spent in the big gym having a good time, especially with the new members who were initiated. Later refreshments were served in thep rettily decorated cafeteria. At this time appropriate valentines were distributed to the members of the society. STUDIO CLUB NOTES. Thursday evening of last week, the members of the Studio club met and participated in one of the most enjoyable evenings of the year. After the regular monthly business meeting, an interesting program was given. Miss Loutett opened the program with a piano solo. This was followed by two vocal solos, given in a most charming manner by Miss Hazel Dash-ley. Miss Bailey read a paper on the life and works of Rodin, a modern sculptor. The last number on the progrgam was a most profitable and interesting talk by Miss Beardsley. Her subject was "Famous Pictures by Rembrandt and Contemporaries in Galleries at Home and Abroad." The talk was illustrated with lantern slides. The program was followed by games appropriate to St. Valentine's day, after which refreshments were served. The following students were voted into the- club: Alice Drew, Jean Belch, Alice Belch, Esther Korthauer. These will be initiated at the next business meeting. The Y. M. C. A. is not a dying institution, but is gaining strength and influence every day. The labor bureau, headed by Mr. Owen, is showing splendid returns, and proves a boon to all in search of work. The program committee has arranged for a schedule of lectures that no man can afford to miss. Plans for a joint meeting with the Y. W.'s is under way. Thruout the semester work will be of the very highest standard. Last Thursday morning the club was favored by an excellent talk by Mr. Hoppe. Here are some of the sparkling truths the speaker uttered. "There is nothing more practical than the workings of the square deal. The time of cut-throat methods of business has passed. The principle of caveat emptor, 'let the buyer beware,' no longer exists. The railway companies of today shout equal respect and courtesy towards all. Every time we take an elevator, we see the workings of the square deal, in the responsibility someone takes for our safety. In spite of cynical ways and expressions every man has an innate instinct of the square deal. The attitude, 'do others or they will do you, and do them first,' is not maintained, even by those who profess it. There is nothing more difficult than to be honest with one's self. It demanus ar gt; imagination to fathom the feelings of others, to see ourselves twenty years from now, to prepare for old age, to give ourselves and others a square deal. In the food we take, in the hours we keep, and in the words we say, our sense of the square deal is portrayed. A man who can't give a square deal is the one who thinks the world has it in for him. The law of the balance manifests itself in the rythm between give and receive. The ability to give a square deal, demands above all else the culture of that spark of the divine, within us, that is called conscience." Mrs. Irving J. Cross has accepted the position of organist at the First Presbyterian church, corner of Garden and Maple streets. Any students who are interested in church music and choir training are cordially invited to attend an important choir practice on Tuesday evening at the church. Mrs. G. E. Munn of Kansas City was a guest of Miss Druse at the a r t department one day last week. Mrs. Munn was formerly a teacher of wide experience. She found the department to be one of the most up to date she had ever visited and the ex-habit of hard" work excellent. Alton S. Druse of Seattle spem. Thursday with his sister, Miss Druse. There are eighty-five taking basketry and as many taking rural school hand work.

In a certain institution there is a woman, A most capable woman, Who, with her wonderful power, manages a great part of the_ work of the institution. During the day dressed in the dignified dress that becomes her position, She attends to her executive duties, And all men do her bidding. But at night she goes home, And once within her own little kitchen, She puts on a blue apron and gets dinner And washes the dishes afterward. She gets breakfast the next morning In the same blue apron. With the heavy responsibilities of her position upon her And so many things to attend to, It is not to be wondered at That she sometimes Is absent minded. Sometimes she almost forgets To take off her blue apron When she goes to work. One night She had a dream: She saw herself in her office, And her assistants were with her, But they would not go about their duties— They only stood And stared at her. Against the pane of glass in her office door, She saw faces And eyes—many pairs of eyes— All staring at her. "Why do they all look at me?" she cried. "Why do they not go about their business?" Just then She looked down And what did she see? She had on her blue apron! She awoke. Great beads of perspiration stood on her forehead, And she trembled violently. She arose and groped her way into the kitchen And found the apron. She went back and woke her friend who shared her home with her. "Promise me faithfully," she said, "That you will watch this apron, And see That it is not on me After 9 a. m. Ever." She shook her friend roughly— "I promise," said Margaret.

This was the third party that the club has enjoyed this year. The members were divided into four groups and each group acted as a unit in the series of contests which took place. Each group elected a leader and then this leader chose from the number in his group one who should hold up the honor of his group and win the prize in each particular contest. Had the names given to the contests not been so deceiving, the leader might have used better judgment. As it was he often chose wrongly. For instance, for the "Broad Jump" he would choose the one who looked as though he might excel in jumping, while in reality he should have chosen the one who had the broadest smile, for that proved to be the nature of the contest. There was one contest "for men only." It was a contest in a new method of locomotion—moving forward while seated on a board, using both feet and one hand. Starr Sutherland won the prize but Dr. Herre deserves honorable mention. Each group cheered their contestants, and altogether it was a very exciting race. There were about ten different contests in all. The refreshments consisted of ice cream and cake. Eating ice cream was not one of the contests, but had it been a contest the object of which was to be to consume the greatest quantity of ice cream, it is pretty generally conceded that Mr. Bever would have easily led all others.

The Alkisiahs had their annual senior- alumni banquet at the Leopold Friday, Feb. 16. It was thoroly enjoyed by about forty members. Our junior members are to be congratulated as they were responsible for its great success. The program of the evening was as follows: Toastmistress, Frances Ireland; song, Vida Deign; toast "Past," Maude Carfield; song, Gladys Hamly; toast "Present," Josephine Archam-beau; song, Mrs. Colby; toast "Future," Emily Crawford; duet, Louise Fraser and Julia de Witt. In conclusion Miss Baker talked on the history of the club. She told us or its life of eleven years, and of all the things in which the Alkisiahs have been the first to participate. We have reason to be proud of our record. ,1Y E On February .the first, the Hays Literary society continued the study of George Benard Shaw. Vergia Fox gave a reading of one of his plays, "Getting Married." As it was long she gave' only the first part. Cassie Cales read an interesting article on "Shaw and Jesus." Music followed the literary part of the program: Piano, Ruth Morrison; ukulele duet, Jessie Bay and Lula Dieckhoff. February 15, Shaw's play "Getting Married" was finished by Ruth Partridge. The following piano selections were given by Miss Gardener of the Y. W. C. A.: Waltz, Chopin; Grillen, Schumann; Voglein, Grieg. The rest of the evening was spent enjoying a valentine party. Much merriment was caused over a plant and flower contest. Questions were asked to be answered with the name of some plant or flower. After finding partners by matching pieces of valentine cards, a Virginia reel was formed and danced. Hotel Leopold Fisher: "If 2 and 1 makes shoe blackening, and 3 and 1 makes sewing machine oil, what will 4 and 1 make?" Davis: "Why—a. I don't know." Fisher: "Some mathematician/ 5, of course." Fine argumentative ability was shown in the debate on National Censorship of the Fine Arts last Thursday evening in the Aletheia club. The affirmative side, which was upheld by Mr. Mercer, Mrs. Vannoy and Miss Mabel Smith, attempted to prove that local censorship boards are incapable of handling the problem, inasmuch as they lack authority to carry out their decrees, while a national board of censorship would have at its call the entire force of the United States government. They held that such censorship would not repress true talent, but would uncover the deceits which pass in the disguise of highest art. This board of censorship was to consist of about one hundred men paid by the government. They were then to be diveded into several groups, the members »of each of which would be unusually qualified to judge certain phases of art. In answer to the affirmative argument the negative, Mrs. Shepherd, Miss Bolton and Miss Mann, replied •that force cannot remedy evil, and pointed out that should force be emphasized in the form advocated it might under certain conditions make it possible to abridge even the right of free speech. They attacked with vigor the comparison made by their opponents of censorship of fine arts to food inspection. The negative claimed that art NATIONAL BARBER SHOP 1304 Dock Street Best in our line We treat you right was not subject" to chemical anlysis. It is subjective and governed by the emotions. Because of this very fact it is impossible to assemble together a set of men Avho could judge art. Hence, after all, the people are the final judges. The negative won by a comfortable majority. After the debate the club enjoyed a valentine frolic in the little gymnas^ ium. Y. W. C. A. Miss Sands of the faculty gave an inspiring talk to the gigrls of the Y. W. C. A. Thursday, February 15, in the association room. Special music by Miss Hamley and Miss Randle was enjoyed by the girls present. All gigrls are cordially invited to attend the next meeting, which will be held Thursday at 4:10 p. m. Miss Edens: Where is "obey" used generally?"

Over three hundred students have applied for the first button, on merit. The folowing have completed the course and received a Palmer teacher's certificate: Misses Agnes Bailey, Ruth Dieson, Mollie Carson, Lea Dudgeon, Bertha A. Dooley, Helgo Nassie, Elizabeth Arnold, Nina Hanson and Mrs. Shepherd. Did you see the Palmer method group from this Normal in the February number of the American Penman? Twenty of Mr. Thompson's students, who secured certificates from him are portrayed. An extremely tall Irishman, traveling in the West, put up at a hotel in a small town and was shown to his room for the night. In a short time he appeared down stairs and asked for scissors, needle and thread. An hour later he returned them and said, sadly: "Faith, it's no use." When asked what he meant, he replied: "Why the blanket wasn't long enough to cover me feet, so Oi cut a piece off the top and sewed it on the bottom, but 'tis no better now." HUSH. What's the best thing you ever have done? The whitest day, The cleverest play That ever you set in the shine of the sun? The time that you felt just a wee bit proud Of defying the cry of the cowardly crowd And stood back to back with God? Aye, I notice you nod, But silence yourself, lest you bring me shame That I have no answering deed to name. What's the worst thing that ever you did? The darkest spot, The blackest blot On the page you have pasted together and hid? Oh, sometimes you think you've forgotten it quite, Till it crawls in your bed in the dead of the night And brands you its own with a blush. What was it? Nay, hush! Don't tell it to me, for fear it be known That I have an answering blush of my own. But whenever you notice a clean hit made, Sing high and clear The sounding cheer You would gladly have heard for the play you played. —Edmund Vance Cooke.

FACULTY NOTES THAT 1 Last Friday, Mr. Parish, with the assistance of Mrs. Merriman, Miss Meyers and Miss Olden, entertained the people of Mountain View with a literary and musical program. A large audience testified to the excellent work done. At Skykomish, on the same date, Mr. Hoppe gave a lecture entitled "The King Who Fell." Mr. Budde, a Normal graduate, now principal of the Skykomish school, is a powerful factor in community work. It was thru his efforts that the community was privileged to hear Mr. Hoppe's lecture. Miss Vollmer's father, C. G. Vollmer, of South Dakota, returned Sunday after, a brief visit with his daughter. Owing to the wholesome and delightful chaperoning of Miss Nickerson and Miss McCown, the Uunior party of Saturday night proved to be one of the plpeasantest enterprises of the year. Mr. Bond and Miss Norton is directing the Freshman-Sophomore party made Saturday evening a pleasure to all in attendance. Mr. Hoppe called a meeting of the committee governing the literary contest for the Klipsun, Tuesday, and im-protant rulings were acted upon. Mr. Parish made a flying business trip to Sedro-Woolley by automobile last Saturday. Dr. Nash left for Olympia, for a conference with the legislators, Monday morning. At the last meeting of the Art club Miss Beardsley gave an illustrated lecture, on the life and work of Rembrandt. Miss Woodard was one of the guests present. Mr. Edson has just issued an order for fifteen new typewriters for the commercial department. PLUG. As you haven't asked me for advice, I'll give it to you now: Plug!

The second Senior-Junior Kline cup game was played at 4:10 Friday, Feb. 26, 1917, and resulted in a defeat for the Seniors. The score which was very close, the Juniors winning only by one point, was 13-12. The first game as we know, was won by the Seniors and the second by the Juniors, thus giving them an equal race for the last game which will decide the winning of the Kline cup. The game was very fast as the score indicates, and a large crowd enthusiastically rooted for their respective teams. This game showed more skill and practice on part of both teams, the team work itself being better especially for the Juniors. Senior Line-up: G. Watrous and B. Hilliard, forwards; C.

BIG TAFFY PULL DRESS PARTY The Junior class of the H. S. gave a very successful taffy-pull at the home of Alice Kirkpatrick, Friday evening, February 2. Those present were: Miss Vollmer, Mrs. Kuykendall, Marion Smith, Alice Kirkpatrick, Mr. and Mrs. Kirkpatrick, Vernon Broadbent, Elwyn Bugge and George Hunt. Later in the evening the party was made merrier by the presence of Mrs. Mer-riman and Miss Barbara Davis. After the program, which consisted of some most excellent violin numbers, executed (?) by Elwyn Bugge, and a game of "Flying Cloud," introduced by Mr. Kirkpatrick, the members retired to the kitchen to prove their ability in taffy-pulling. The champion was Alice Kirkpatrick. Elwyn dropped his taffy on the floor and in his confusion and embarrassment, ate it by mistake. Vernon holds the record for amount consumed in a given length of time. Friday night, February 16, the Freshmen and Sophs gave a fancy dress party, with Mr. Bond and Miss Norton as patron and patroness. Over sixty were present and enjoyed themselves hugely, tho they could not but regret the absence f Mr. Parish. They all wanted to see him in fancy dress, but he was obliged to attend the Parent- Teachers' meeting at Fermlale that night. "Eats" of ice cream and cookies were served and the assembled multitude of Freshies and Sophs dispersed, each to go home and to their downy beds. FAILURE. What is a failure? It's only a spur To a man who receives it right, And it makes the spirit within him stir To go in once more and fight. If you never have failed, it's an even guess You never have won a high success. What is a miss? It's a practice shot Which a man must make to enter The list of those who can hit the spot Of the bull's-eye in the center, If you never have sent a bullet wide You never have put a mark inside. What is a knock-down? A count of ten Which a man may take for a rest. It will give him a chance to come up again And do his partiftaxar best. If you never have more than met your match I guess you never have toed the scratch. —Edmund Vance Cooke. Mrs. Irving J. Cross presented a few of her Normal and resident pupils in a piano recital last Monday evening at her home at 1125 Jersey street.

Miss Lerner was born in Odessa twenty-seven years ago. Her musical gift was evident in early childhood and she was given every opportunity to develop it. She entered the Moscow Conservatory when ten years old, completed the nine years' course in five years, and won the highest honors. At fifteen she was soloist with the Moscow Philharmonic Society and appeared in Germany and England, as well as thru-out her native country. Her youth only made her success the more remarkable. A first tour in America followed, then a second, and on this continent as well as Europe her art was recognized. A third tour in 1912-13 and a Miss Sumner (in exp.): Can't you. read louder?

XX BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 1921 NO. 40 E Dr. Sears, who is conducting classes here in education is an instructor of scholarship and experience, and possesses a most pleasing personality. Students should consider it a privilege to attend his classes even for the remaining short three weeks. Dr. Sears received his degree from Columbia University and has been an instructor in Stanford University for nine years. For the past year, having had a statical leave of absence from Stanford, he has been giving lectures at the University of Minnesota from which institution he has come to Bellingham Normal. Next month he will return to Stanford and resume former work. Besides' his work as a college instructor, Dr. Sears has pursued a number of special studies. He participated in the Salt Lake survey and was director of the survey at Boise, Idaho. On this work he wrote a book of some 300 pages entitled "Boise Survey." Among his other written works is his book on " Classroom Organization and Control," and numerous magazine articles. A book dealing with school administration is now in progress. Asked his impressions of the Bellingham Normal, Dr. Sears replied with the genial sincerity that characterizes him: " You may say that I am not only favorably impressed with the Normal plant and with the surroundingings, and climate of the region, but that I have also been very favorably impressed with the Institution . and with the student body. " It speaks well not only for the Normal School, but for the state, that so intelligent a group of students should be attracted to the summer session here." B.S.N.S "AS YOU LIKE IT" TO BE Are you a good student? How do you measure up to these tests, offered by Miss Cummins? " The first characteristic of a good student," she says, "is an attitude of inquiry — the desire to see all sides of a question. "Every .normal student should have some concrete aim toward which to work. Especially in the case of the upper grade teacher should there be some special line of work around which elective courses and outside reading should center. " The good student will so organize his work as to provide that assigned tasks be completed promptly on the date set. " No one worthy of the name of teacher or citizen will permit himself to remain ignorant of current happenings. Pedagogical magazines, those pertaining to special subjects, current event digests and the daily newspaper should be scanned regularly and with purpose. " When entering the library the stur dent should be prepared to use its tools (Continued on page 6.) Of all out-of-doors presentations of Shakespeare, "As You Like I t " is perhaps most charming. " Midsummer Night's Dream" rivals it in delicacy of fancy but the former comedy is more redolent of woodland scents and more sparkling with the vivacity and freshness of young romance. It is doubtful if the genius of the great bard of Avon ever expressed itself in kindlier and merrier fashion than in the Arcadian scenes of "As You Like It." Here comes the banished Duke and his followers to find " sermons in stones, books in the running brooks and good in everything." To this wildwood come also Rosalind, Orlando and Celia to meet in merry quiet and rougish misunderstanding, in high romance and tender sentiment as . this delightful play of young hearts and light spirits proceeds. Here, too, Touchstone gambols and gibes and finally meets his fate in the rural Audrey, whom he would the gods had made poetical, but to whom he swears fealty as a poor thing but his own. Here in the green woods the melancholy James philosophizes and discovers that " all the world's a stage and all the men and women merely j gt;layers." Fleeing from the bitter hatred of the elder brother hither comes the youthful old Adam, who so sweetly exemplifies the quality of fidelity and teaches us how to grow into a lusty old age " frosty but kindly." " Sweet are the uses of adversity," declares the banished -Duke and " Blow, blow thou winter wind, thou art not so unkind • as benefits forgot," sings Amiens. Thus does this great old play give" to us anew the cleansing arid healthful breath of nature and so, too, may we gain by its genial and wholesome gaiety. The Community Players are to present the play on Wednesday, August 17th on the northwesterly slope of the knoll, with the massed greenery of the right and left portions of the stage and the charming center entrance down the slope upon the greensward, the out-door location is ideal. The play, is to be .correctly costumed in all details. There will - be two important contributions by the Department of Physical Education. Under the direction of Miss Moffat two groups of students will present a classical interpretive dance and a typical old English Morris dance. Mr. Paul Thompson and Miss Amanda Nesson will present the beautiful woodland songs of the play. Altogether a careful, artistic and interesting performance is promised for next week. " Who doth ambition shun and loves to live i' the sun, come hither." B.S.N.S. Two hundred and ten students of B. S. N. S. took teachers' examinations Thursday and Friday of last week. Many left after the examinations. ' The absence of these people has been very noticeable in the class rooms and assembly. B.S.N.S. • Mr. Hunt (in history class) : " What about it, class, is that statement true? " Everybody: "Yes, yes!" Mr. Hunt: " Look out, now." Class (in unison) : " No, no! " WHAT WE LIKE BEST ABOUT THE H A L " What is the feature you like best about this Normal School? " is the question often put to us, to answer like a rule. If the quizzer is a citizen of this delightful city, we start in with the climate, and repeat the oft-told ditty: We praise the parks and flowers; the homes where we reside; we mention asphalt boulevards, whereon our autos glide; we laud its ruddy sunsets, its woodsy trails we cite, as being motives for return, which fill us with delight; we wonder if, in all the world, another spot could be where mountains high re-echo the booming of the sea. We say these are the reasons why students by the score flock back to join the Normal ranks and learn a little more; for we come in goodly numbers, from- every western state; in case you're puzzled why you're here, some answers we'll relate. We grant the town is beautiful, its homes are fair to see; those gorgeous, golden sunsets are free to you and me; the sylvan trails are wonderful; the silvered, moonlit bay brings dreams of future hopes and fears when we'll be far away. But say, there are days of stress and gloom; it rains, and clouds hang low; when al lthe world seems dull and gray, and scenery don't go. Somehow we need a guiding hand, a smile of friendly cheer; even the stern word of rebuke for our faults our doubts, our tears. Now, sweep the cobwebs from your brain, and clear your thoughts for action, and you'll find there is no mystery about the chief attractions. No red brick building in this world extends such welcome dear; what campus holds the many groups of friends to us so near; where could we go to learn as much in one short summer Normal; could parties ever be such fun, or strangers more informal ; have you ever stopped" to wonder if a more helpful trio could be than the smiling, willing workers in our Normal library? Where else would fifty instructors give up vacation joys to teach twelve hundred students with all their faults and noise; where, oh, where could all these things, taken collectively, be realized more fully, than in — " The Normal by the Sea?" — Anon. B.S.N.S. WHERE SOME OF US WILL TEACH NEXT YEAR Dr. Henry K. Warren, who for twenty- six years has been president of Yankton College, the largest institution of higher learning in South Dakota, was a. recent visitor of Dr. Nash. Dr. Nash graduated from Yankton College and worked there with Dr. Warren for some years. Dr. Warren addressed assembly Monday morning. His subject was '• Our Puritan Ancestors." After reviewing the early history of religious persecution against which the Puritans contended in the old world, and their hazardous journey to the new, the speaker called attention "to the fact that the Puritans organized the first democratic government, the principles of which became the foundation principles of our nation. Dr. Warren sounded a warning that we present-day Americans do not lose in our civic life that indominable courage of the Puritan spirit which stands for an insistance on the working- out of the highest ideals of democracy. He deplored the fact that the sporting interests, in their efforts to defeat the so-called blue laws, should resort to caricature of those who gave us national ideals. In doing this they have but honored the Puritans and shamed themselves, for only those who do great deeds are ridiculed 300 years after their departure. "Prophets are always stoned." An appeal to launch our Mayflower and steer boldly into untried seas if we would be true Americans ended a most splendid address. B. S. N. S.

And yet there are some who belong to the old school that is afraid .of " spoiling. the child." All who go to school are not equally .brilliant. Some find theiir work extremely difficult, and while they put forth their best efforts, there are many times when a little explanation of doubtful points would be of invaluable assistance. • It seems unfair to assume that every •time a question is asked, the one who asks it is doing so merely to take up the .teacher's time,- and when the teacher gives a curt, sharp reply that cuts like a lash, is it strange if many refrain from asking for needed help? A large number prefer to receive a lower grade rather than to • take the risk of receiving a reply that hurts for days afterward. Sarcasm is a powerful tool.. It cuts like a two-edged sword, and serves to alienate, where a kindly answer inspires to greater effort. When we go out to teach, let us bear this in mind and avoid making a mistake for which we may have to pay dearly. — B.S.N. S. How many of us get in a hurry and cut across the campus or over the knoll? By watching students come in the morning we would say that most of us do. How much time is saved? Probably a fraction of a minute. Is it worth the cost? Does that fraction of a minute saved aid us so greatly that we are justified in writing our selfishness or thoughtlessness upon the beautiful green carpet? Surely after such a pleasing compliment as Dr. Sears gave us in Monday morning's assembly, we ought to be proud enough of our campus to keep it always looking green and smooth and not spoiled by ugly brown paths cut hit and miss wherever we happen to choose to walk. When we came we did not find it cut by paths. The students who were here before us exercised enough self-control to stay on the walks. I'll guarantee they were just as busy as we are and they, went away with just as much knowledge and pleasant-memories as we have. So let us show our school spirit hereafter, and hold a person in disrepute who takes the short cuts. Let us make an unwi'itten law that we shall not cut corners, and each one "a self-appointed officer of that law, at least in so far as we ourselves are" concerned. B. S. N. S. When the Seniors carry away their coveted diplomas they will carry away, also, the memory of a fine example of that patience "that suffereth long and is silent."

Surely "Jit's too much" for Normal Seniors, wise as they are. They have a sort of vague theory that perhaps programming officers are made of different clay. Be that as it may, they marvel much at the fortitude, patience and personal interest that Mr. Beyer always displays and they gratefully acknowledge their debt j gt;f gratitude.

Sears, who spoke in assembly Wednesday morning. Then followed an interesting discussion on Education, in which Dr. Sears stated that for many years he had been trying to explain to an incredulous public y'ust what the study of education is. *'" So long as the world thinks education is only a theory or something that doesn't count, it is a fact which the teacher must meet," he said. "Our only -answer to the public must be in terms of hard facts." Other items of importance gleaned from the discussion were that education may be thought of in terms of the institution or of the child. In late education the child's interests have been studied and no progressive teacher or superintendent will hold a child back in all subjects, because he may be deficient in one. Since to schools has been assigned the duty of producing the doers and thinkers of the world, education must be put on a fact basis. The teacher of today cannot depend on theory, but must know how to teach. B.S.N.S. • DEBTS How often have we pointed the finger of scorn at the shirker who excuses his evasion of responsibilities by saying, " Oh, well! the world owes me a living." He has a job, perhaps, but he does as little work as it is possible to do without being dismissed. : When there is a call for volunteers to do extra work, he is ostentatiously silent. His attitude is that the boss has managed poorly or there would be no extra work. He is usually a fault finder, an excuse maker, :a self-indulger. He lets someone else ]bear the burdens — and reap the honors ;—while he merely "gets by." The D o e s the printed p a g e blur before you? Does your h e a d ache before the day ends?

We neither admire nor respect this drone when we meet him in the business world, yet we fail to condemn his counterpart in the school world. He is the student who disclaims all responsibility for the upbuilding of his school. "The state owes me an education," he says. "After me, the deluge," is his slogan. Hs skims his assignment hastily, and his frequent answer is " Unprepared." His sole desire is to pass. He never follows up the teacher's suggestions or recommendations forself improvement. The only phrase that wins his entire attention is " Required for graduation." He never offers his services for the hard work in the outside activities. He gives the assemblies a passive support at best, and is the first to create a disturbance if the program is not to his liking. Other students shoulder the responsibilities and are benefited by so doing. He merely graduates. The state owes him an education; but what does he owe the state? B. S. N. S.

B.S.N.S. DR. TRUEBLOOD'S LECTURE Dr. Trueblood, head of the department of public speaking of the University of Michigan and engaged in the work of that department since' 1886, gave a splendid lecture on the "Art of Public Speaking" in assembly Friday. He laid great emphasis on the directness of speaking and stated that it was the most vital point in all the methods of public speaking. He provided this to all those that heard his interesting lee-, ture, as his own manner and tone were oft he easy conversational type. Among the great orators of the present day that use this method are William J. Bryan and Bishop Hughes, the latter was a former pupil of Dr. True-blood's. He emphasized the importance of work on debate by showing that prom- White Stitched Hats $5.50 and $7.50 Apparel of Quality FOR TEN YEARS.

William Jennings Bryan and Jane Addams debated against each other in college, and Jane Addams was the winner. In closing his address Dr. Trueblood made a plea to all teachers to aid in trying to establish correct speaking English over all the world. Dr. Trueblood read "Ingomar, the Barbarian," by the Austrian author Holbe Thursday evening. In his reading "Ingomar the Barbarian" Dr. Trueblood brought out the romance of the drama very clearly and markedly. From the beginning intense interest was sustained. The most noticeable feature of Dr. Trueblood's delivery is his simplicity and sincerity. B.S.N.S. Not wealth, but the ability to meet difficult conditions, is the measure of man.

JENKINS-BOYS COMPANY Instructors will agree that there are two types of students among us, the plodding workers and the brilliant shirkers. They will also agree that they easily recognize these types upon the first day of the term, so if you are cramming for your expected examination be assured your teacher has already decided upon the marks you deserve and will govern himself accordingly, no matter how you may " p a d " to deceive him. The student who has for his incentive a mark of A — instead of a real knowledge of the subject he is pursuing, is a fraud and a failure so far as scholarship goes. The fear of the examination may keep a student who is otherwise mentally asleep, somewhat alert for " points " to be remembered; he slides along for the first ten weeks, keeping up attendance at classes' but receiving nothing from his. text, his classmates or his teacher. Finally the last two weeks stares him in the fact with failure or condition evident. Then he frantically and feverishly burns the candle at both ends, trying to catch up in a' subject in which he never started. He crams, and passes — " passes " is the proper word, for it indicates that the student has at least one faculty, almost abnormal, however, the ability to dodge successfully the real purpose of all study; the development of his mental processes by systematic concentration. We will agree with our excellent instructors when they say that it does require a peculiar sort of " genius " to accomplish this cramming process. It has been proven time and again that this " loading up for examination" is harmless, so cram on. Your mental calibre will not be visably affected, for the efforts you put forth at the end leave no trace upon the brain. Aside from loss of sleep, physical exhaustion and that coveted grade your head will be as empty as ever. B.S.N.S. THE PROJECT PLAN THINGS GOOD TO EAT — at — NORMAL BAKERY AND DELICATESSEN 623 HIGH STREET The project plan is one that has been worked out and used successfully in this summer's term of the training school. One phase of this plan is being used in the teaching of arithmetic in the intermediate grades. One day of the week is a project lesson, and the class is taken to a basement room which is arranged like a store. The shelves have been made by the children from boxes, and on these are arranged goods in cans and packages. One child is the storekeeper, and all of the others are customers. Each has a certain amount of play money given to him, and with this he must purchase something at the store. Each child works out every problem. If the change counted out by the storekeeper is not correct he loses his position. At the end of the game the problems are corrected. This has been found a valuable plan in stimulating interest in the work.

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.

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.

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 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.

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. McCann scored two great t r i ' s worth six points as Western'sRugby Club tromped the ruggers from the University of Oregon 9-0 here at Western last Thursday. 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. Saturday and took in the sights Sunday before flying back later in the day. TheViking wrestlers will take on Seattle Pacific College Thursday in Seattle.

Forward Mike Buza was high point man for Coach Larry Stewart's club, scoring 20 points. Guard Dana Besecker had 18, forward Jeff Hamilton 12 and center Jim Dudley11.

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. His clutch shootingSaturday helped Western to upset EWSC 76-75.

Western's two-rider system isallowed up to 19.7 feet The large, tilted solar collector can generate up to two kilowatts of power andrides on wheeled pods.

Carroll said the victim "put up a hell of a good fight and struggled at length with the man. My opinion is that even though he was structurally stronger, her struggle with him kept the matter fromgetting worse. In this case, it turned out for the best for her. She wasn't raped." Carroll explained thatsometimes in an assault situation, the harder a victim puts up a fight, the angrier the attacker becomes,and the assault becomes more violent. In this case, Carroll said, the man eventually gaveup andleftthe victim's home, taking her wallet After he left, the victim yelled for help and then called 911. Her neighbor came to help and remembered seeing the man approaching the victim's door, but she did not see him enter the doorway. She later recalled seeing the man running from the victim's house. During thestruggle, the man's watch band broke and fell off his wrist. The watch and a detailed description of theassailant by the victim and her neighbor enabled police to start an investigation, Carroll said. The affidavit reported that the victim's missing wallet was recovered by a postal worker at Ennen's Market the dayafter the assault Fingerprints on the wallet and a credit card were traced to the victim and also to Lee.Police also discovered that Lee had outstanding warrants from California for forgery, possession ofstolen property and a parole violation involving robbery. Reports also showed that Lee had priorconvictions for rape and indecent liberties. On Oct. 26, police staked out Lee's residence in the earlyevening. Officers spotted a man in the upper floor resembling the police composite drawing and theidentification photographs of Lee. The officers approached Lee and told him about the warrants fromCalifornia. When the police questioned Lee about the assault, he said he had been working all day andtherefore did not commit the crime, according to the affidavit As he was being questioned, he movedtoward the doorway, pulling a chair between officers and himself and ran for the door. Along the way,he knocked a shelf off the wall, causing items to fall in the path of the police pursuing him. Policetackled Lee as he made his way down the staircase to the ground floor. He was then transported to jail. Lee, a chimney sweep, had been living at the Grant Street address for about a month-and-a-half,according to reports from neighbors. Bail is currently set at $15,000 based on the fugitive warrant fromCalifornia. Police are still trying to locate the young woman who was seen walking north on HumboldtStreet and heading west on Carolina Street either with the man or in front of him. The woman isdescribed as white, about 18 to 22-years-old, fair skinned and very attractive, with long blond hair to themiddle of her back. She was wearing powder blue shorts and a white top with a light colored V-necksweater. Police are requesting that anyone with information about this woman to call Detective McNeil at 676-6923 or 9-1-1. Solar Continued from pg. 1 hi July, the Viking XX placed second in the 1,625 mileSunrayce USA, which ran from Florida to Michigan. High winds buffeted the large profile of the solarcollector, making steering, at times, virtually impossible. Modifications were made after the SunrayceUSA to correct the problemâ€”. Seal said, "By yawing, the earâ€”adjusting the wheel alignment â€” wecan use the wind to our advantage." The team is going into the race on the heels of three setbacks. Inearly October principal sponsor J. Ward Phillips andstudentteam-captain . Bill Lingenfelter pulled out.Then, on Oct 11, the car's primary motor had to be replaced. Phillips andLingenfelterleftthe team after adispute involving Seal's introduction of a written contract of rules, which gave Seal final say in alldecisions. The contract included three major rules â€” no drinking of alcoholic beverages during therace, wearing the proper team uniform at all times and allowing Seal the final "The last word I heard fromAustralia was if it doesn't blow too hard, we're the favorite." â€” Michael Seal, director of Western'sVehicle Research Institute authority over all race decisions. . The last of these rules seemed the majorsticking point for Phillips, who had invested more than $150,000 in the project, and Lingenfelter, who, asteam-captain, was one of the originators of the solar car idea. Lingenfelterwill be accompanying the team to Australia but will not participate as a team member. At the time of the shake-up, Eileen Seal, Seal'swife and administrative supporter for the team, said her husband implemented the rules because h e felt it was important'to haVe-achaiii' of cofflmahd'iri a race Where the team was: competing against suchinternational industrial giants as Honda Research and Development Co.

Theburnt-outmotor, a20-horsepower,rare-earth, permanent-magnet meant the car's number onemotor had to be shipped back to the factory for repairs. The Viking XX was snippet to Australia with itsback-up motor. Michael Seal said the replacement motor was actually better and would probably be theone used. The crew is now undergoing a week of testing and fine-tuning at Darwin before making anyfinal decisions. Each solar car in the Australian race will be accompanied by a lead, chase and supportvehicle.

Li 1988, the program expanded the cultural experience to the present arrangement. Students participating in the program are enrolled in classes of conversational English, U.S. history,literature and human environment. Accreditation is only received from Asia University. Most Japanesestudents receive six years of English language instruction before graduating high school. Students atAsia University take one year of conversational English before coming to Western. About 40 American conversational language instructors work at Asia University. "It's not easy for them," Wright said. "Theyhave to study hard." Wright said Japanese schools are extremely competitive at the high school level but taper off the work load at the university level.

"Americans think when people can't speak English they're stupid. It's a frustrating point," Wright said. "These guys are the cream of the crop just to get into Asia University,"she said. Yutaka Fujii, an Asia University student studying here said, "We see English for our future.We want to use mis experience." When asked about their impressions of America, many respondedpolitely and positively. However, a certain cultural alienation seemed to prevail. Some said it was tooeasy to revert back to Japanese when around their roommates. One student, with a puzzled look, said,"Americans think as they act." Many thought the kick-off dance at Red Square was "exciting."Somebody quipped, "We like American food but we don't like SAGA food." SAGA is the old name forresidential dining halls.

She said, "Iloveit,"then laughed and, added, "It's almost like a test of mypersonality everyday." Wright said that it was her preference, as well as Asia University's, to have allthe students live with American roommates. She said Western's administration felt American students were, themselves, often trying to adjust to the rigors of a new life and schedule. They said thelanguage, the cultural differences and the length of the Japanese visit would not make for a goodroommate arrangement AUAP is looking for Western students who would like to be employed asInternational Living Group Advisers from Mar. 31 through Aug. 29,1991.

Western works for you By Mike Clynch staff reporter Student EmploymentServices, in Old Main 260, has just worked its way through their busiest time of year â€” trying to findemployment and work experience for many Western students. Last year, Western provided 4,800 joblistings for students. Approximately half were on-campus and the others were in the community. Ofthese, nearly 900 were work-study. Fred Ondeck, coordinator of Job Location and Employment, said hisoffice "attempts to be a centralized source for students who need part-time, temporary or seasonalemployment, or are interested in volunteer or community experience." The office provides reader-boards for volunteer jobs and general employment. "Because werun an open job board, we don't alwayshave a way of actually tracking (results). It's difficult to know if it was a Western student (who was hiredfor the position)," Ondeck said. Also, employers don't always call back the office once they hire astudent He estimated Western students fill 70 to 80 percent of the listings. After the initial rush of theyear, it is easier to remain updated. General employment is varied. Program Assistant Mary Murray,who has been working in the employment office for eight years said, "(Job opportunities) run the gamut from yard-work to an assistant for an attorney ."Thereader bo ardmaintains a section for new listings that arrive daily. The average on-campus wage is $5. Off-campus is $5.80. Murray said some unusual jobshave crossed the reader boards. A Japanese film crew hired students for summer work in Japan. Another company hired student photographers to picture wildlife in Africa. Volunteer jobs range from crisisintervention to conservation. "People take these/'Murray said, because "they want to become a part oftheir community or just give something back." She added, "It's good work experience, and they can seeif they like working in that sort of setting." While the Student Employment Services is set-up to be self-service, Ondeck said, "the staff are more than happy to talk to students. We try to be user-friendly."Our job is jobs,"Murray added. ---------- Western Front - 1990 November 6 - Page 7 ---------- November 6,1990 Old growth protest in Blaine features The Western Front 7 See Inside: The protestand'Mind Flings' ---------- Western Front - 1990 November 6 - Page 8 ---------- 8 The Western Front November 6,1990 HlifSis j||^p|im|i|||^|i Eve/preen State College sUJdent, LaraMurray, passed out leaflets during Sunday's protest at the border. li^Witt^BIBlHllBBlBllilHiiwiIHSiilBiiHiliiiHlplfiiilW ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ people and government ofBritish ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ Ililrti^i^MiSiiftiiiiiiiwI IISiiBBBISBiSiBiilBi cuttinginwhalis consideredthelargest Bi^lS^BiiiliiR^WiilSiBl BSilili(BHI^BiBi|^^Bj "We need some direct action.

By Hamld Nazemi Special to the Front In myearlier article, in the Oct. 30 issue of the Front, I mentioned that many foreigners have an "approach-avoidance" relationship with the United States, especially as it relates to U.S. Foreign policy. In addition, I tried to point out that, although, there were cultural differences between Westerners and MiddleEasterners, they do not fully explain the present crisis in the Persian Gulf. So what is it that impels somany foreigners abroad and within the United States to adopt such an anti- American posture? Forexample, it is interesting to note that anti-American sentiment is on the rise across various countriesand continents, all having a unique cultural orientation. Itis present from Far East Asian countries tothose in South America. Can it be claimed that in all of these cases a "cultural gap" exists, and thatthis is the source of those peoples' dissatisfactions with U.S. foreignpolicy ? I think not! Obviously, there are cultural differences, but these arevariablesof secondary importance. For example, the "Cold War"didn't come about because of cultural differences between the East and West, but came aboutbecause of varying political objectives and orientations. Both sides displayed great intransigence andlacked the "political well" to overcome differences. Once Gorbachev came to power, various factors(none of which were cultural) forced him to make conciliatory gestures toward the West At this point,he showed that he did have the "political well" to move ahead, despite of existing cultural differences. In light of this, it can't be claimed that the current crisis in the Gulf is in any way a result of culturaldifferences. David Ziegler, a political science professor at Western, is correct in asserting thatfriendliness and hospitality are central to the Arab mind-set. He is also correct in saying that hostage-taking contradicts Arab values and morals. However, ruthless killing of Palestinians by the Israeligovernment is viewed with even greater enmity and frustration in Arab history and should have beenmentioned in the article. Why is it that the United S tates deploy s hundreds of thousands of its troops to defend against Iraqi aggression, but looks the other way when it comes to the basic human rights of the Palestinians? The fact of the matter is, lasting peace in the Middle East will remain elusive, unlessfundamental changes occur in the status quo. It is imperative that Israel recognize and deal with theplight of the Palestinians. This will happen only when the United States exerts pressure on Israel andmakes a clear demand that things change. The United States, unlike other nations, is in the uniqueposition of taking an active role in promoting human rights and a sense of fair play abroad. Unfortunately, the history of the United States has been marred by direct or indirect interference in the internal affairsof other nations. At times, this has led to the violent overthrow of numerous legitimate but independent-minded governments. For example, in 1953, the CIA was instrumental in the overthrow of Dr. Mossadeqâ€” the prime minister of Iran at the time. Dr. Mossadeq worked to free Iran of foreign domination and tobring about an Iran based on anti-militarism and constitutionalism. His overthrow was coordinated by Mr. Roosevelt (nephew to FDR) and through the U.S. embassy compound in Tehran. The forced andillegitimate return of the Shah meant that some 26 years later, Iran' s revolution would be a purelyIslamic Revolution with an acutely "anti-American flavor!

This is not to defend hostage takingâ€”it is merely to point out that were it not for the U.S. government's own doingsome 26 years earlier, this unfortunate incident wouldneverhave occurred. As another example, whenIran was defending itself against Iraqi aggression in the Iran-Iraq war, the United States gave fairlyextensive support to the government of Saddam Hussein. This was done by providing him withintelligence information about Iranian troop movements, by ignoring the use of chemical weapons against Iranian and Kurdish civilians and by ensuring Iraq's economic survival as exemplified in the re-flagging ofKuwaiti tankers. Saddam Hussein was never declared a Hitler and it was only his move on Kuwait thatprompted PresidentBush to draw comparison between the two despots. In response to Iraqi air attackson internationally owned and registered oil tankers destined for Iranian oil terminals, Iran proclaimed thateither the Persian Gulf would have to be "safe for all or safe for none" â€” it started mining internationalwaters in the Persian Gulf. Many congressmen and senators at the time, warned Iran that "people inglass houses shouldn't be throwing stones." It seems to me, they should have been asking themselves,"Why is it that people living in glass houses are throwing stones?" After all, if others are given a freehand at stoning you, it makes sense to throw a few stones of your own. Finally, it was especially ironicfor the U .S. government to have taken such amoral stance on the issue. After all, wasn'ttheU.S.government, itself, involved in the mining of Nicaraguan waters before the weakening of theSandanistas? In discussing recent developments, I am many times met with the remark, "YouMiddleEasterners don't value human life, you're constantly fighting and killing one another!" These people needto be reminded that Middle Easterners were not responsible for the systematic massacre of the Native Americans, WWI and WWII, for Korea, Vietnam, and more recently the invasion of Panama!

As wellas winning the district championship, the Vikings also received top individual awards at the tournament. Coach Chris Hartman was selected Coach of the Year, Lorrie Post was awarded Most Valuable Playerand she and Kim Kolody were selected for the all-tournament team. It took Western only 40 minutes inthe final match to crush the Central Wildcats in two straight games, 15-9,15- 4. In game one. Westernquickly jumped on top with a 4-0 lead before Central had a chance to get a point on the board. Withcomplete control of the game, Western then leaped ahead 8-1 with all-around excellent playing by AprilLindsey. However, Central rallied back to pull within one point, 10-9. Key blocks by Denise Dodgeandeffectivepassing by setter Kim Kolody kept the Wildcats' scoreless as the Vikings pulled ahead, 14-9. Central assistant coach Drew Terry protested a call and was given a red and a yellow cardsimultaneously, Hartman said. This call awarded the Vikings one point and gave them the win in gameone. "They (the Vikings) wanted it and knew what it takes to get it," Hartman said. "We came into thisgame a lot more relaxed and got the ball to Kim (Kolody), who effectively varied our offense." Thingsbegan heating up in game two as intense playing was shown from both sides of the net Westerndisplayed all-around superb playing as it asserted its dominance, jumping out to a 10-3 lead. Post scored four straight points and JoAnn Luchina served an ace for the final point which gave the Vikings theDistrict Crown. "It was a team effort," Lindsey said. "All 12 players contributed. We couldn'thave done itwithout eachplayer." "The momentum was with us the whole time," Hartman said. "Our passing wasphenomenal, almost errorless, and Lorrie was unstoppable." "If we play like we did tonight, nobody isgonna beat us," Post said. The Vikings advanced to the final match by defeating Seattle Pacific Fridaynight in three tense games, 15-8,8- 15,15-13. "JoAnn (Luchino) gets credit for winning game one forus,"Hartman said. "She took their momentum away with some great digs." Despite powerful kills by Post and Lindsey, the Vikings fell to the Falcons pressure in game two. The Falcons continued to press hardon the Vikings, jumping out to a 8-1 lead in game three. The Vikings pulled together and rallied back from the seven-point deficit as the momentum switched to the Western side. The Vikings cut the deficit to 13-10 before scoring the five final points. "We never quit," Hartman said. "We just slowly dug ourselves outof the trenches to come ahead and win." The win over the Falcons advanced Western into the secondround of play in the winners bracket, where they defeated Central. Despite losing game one and starterKim Wells, who partially tore ligaments in her ankle, the Vikings brought it together in game two. Strong,well-placed kills by Post and excellent blocks by Tamara Locke helped Western maintain its lead ingame two. "After losing Kim (Wells), the rest of the team pulled their socks up and were ready to play,"Hartman said. Li the final game of the match, the Vikings* defense continually squashed Central'scomeback attempts. The Vikings defeated Central 15-9. The tournament win earned the Vikings thedistrict title and the chance to play for a berth in. the national tournament in Laie, Hawaii.

WestemwillfaceWamerPacific College, in a game that will be played atViking Field Nov. 10. Warner Pacific beat George Fox College 4-0 to win the District 2 title and theopportunity to play Western for a chance to advance to the national tournament in Boca Raton, Fla. TheVikings repeated as District 1 champions with a record of 14-5-0. Prior to Western's title last season, the Clansmen had taken the district title 14 consecutive years, including three national championships.Senior forward Peter LaBarge said, "Last year everyone thought it was a fluke. We beat them up there on a last minute goal to advance to the playoffs. Even at nationals, people were saying, 'Where'sSimonFraser?' This year we've beaten them three times, I think we deserve it." * Saturday's game wasplayed in a mudhole, which made for poor footing and some sloppy play. Western kept play in SFU'send of the field for most of the first half, capitalizing for the first goal in the last minute of play. ForwardJim Bialek was taken down in the box by Jeff Leitch which resulted in apenalty kick. Simon Frasergoalie Gerry Wheaton argued the call and was given a yellow card. The . referee finally cut Wheaton offand stopped the clock with seven seconds left in the half. In the semifinal game against PacificLutheran University on Oct. . 31, this same ref allowed regulation time to run out without letting West-em take an indirect free kick. District 1 Player of the Year, Peter LaBarge nailed the ball with authority forthe only tally of the first half. Wheaton continued his verbal onslaught and said the magic word whichresulted in a red card. The Clansmen had to play one man down and bring in reserve keeper, GarySkelton, for the second half. Western nearly capitalized on the one-man advantage when Cliff Potterstole a ball meant for Skelton, but he couldn't get a shot off because he was forced to go wide of the netSimon Fraser had their chances to tie the game. Geoff D'Auria had an open shot after a short comerkick, but he decided to pass instead and the Clansmen came away empty. Western finally put the game away at the 6:05 mark when Peter LaBarge took a pass from Jason Woodward and dribbled in to beatthe goalie to the near post "I knew one goal wouldn't hold up. The defense really came through, it'sscary with only goal," LaBarge said. "I knew one more would put confidence in us." Western will nowhost Warner Pacific, who beat the Vikings 1-0 in the last game of the regular season. In that game,Western was not told of a field change and didn' t show up to the new site until 20 minutes after thegame was to have started. Head coach Kevin Quinn said the new field had a baseball diamond on itthegoals were too small and it was notup to collegiate standards. He also said the team wasn't up for thatgame. Saturday's game should be different Quinn said, "I think we're a better team than they are.They're good enough to be reckoned with, but we can field a better team." In addition to LaBarge winning the Player of the Year award, four other Vikings were named to the all-district team. Forwards DennisLapchis and Cliff Potter made the second team, as did midfielder Tom Venable and defender SteveStarcevich.. Vikings lose to Loggers By Matthew W. Campbell staff reporter For the first time thisseason, the Western football team broke out of a streak that has been bothering them all year long. The streak characterized by the Vikings involves losing one game, then winning one. Until lastSaturday'sgame, more than one win or one loss in a row hadn't occurred. Unfortunately for Western, the streak isover as a second loss in a row was given to them at the hands of the University of Puget Sound Loggersby the score of 22-13. Saturday's loss to UPS drops the Viking's overall record to 3-5 and its leaguerecord to 1-4. Turnovers and a sputtering offense by the Vikings allowed PLU to raise its league record to three wins and two losses. The Vikings led 7-3 late in the third quarter, but the Loggers went on toscore 19 straightpoints. The Viking, defense kept the game close until late in the contest Twice theVikings had the ball deep in Logger territory, but came away empty handed both times.

The Lutes managed to score five second-half goals, clinching the district semi-final match by the score of 6-0.

Referendum sets dangerous precedent I By Mike Clynch staffreporter n a 4-3 vote, last year's AS Board of Directors decided to remove Penthouse, Playgirl, andPlayboy magazines from the AS bookstore. It is one of the most idiotic, railroaded pieces of Westernlegislation to date. It stands as a monument to small minds, a questionable political process, and serves to limit the free exchange of ideas, information and opinion. A referendum has been scheduled for this quarter to find out what preferences Western students may have concerning this action. There are twomain issues here. First, what is the definition of obscenity, and do these banned magazines fall into thiscategory? Second, what are the limits of the authority of student government to dictate their moralpreferences over the rest of the student body? The U.S. Supreme court declared in 1957 that obscenity is not protected under the First Amendment. That was the easy part Since then, there's been a lot ofdebate over the definition of obscenity. The courts now use a three-fold litmus test for determination. It is: 1. Whether the average person, applying contemporary community standards would find that thematerial, taken as a whole, appeals to prurient interests. 2. Whether the works depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by state laws. 3. Whether the work, takenas whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific work. Playboy, Playgirl, and Penthousehave not been declared to be obscene and are protected by the First Amendment The AS Board didnot make a decision to ban an obscene publication, they made a moral decision to ban a magazine thatthe majority of the board did not like. The obvious point created by the precedent is what else might afuture board not like. A scan of the bookstore shelves show a display of Mad, Cracked, NationalLampoon, and the Bikini Girls Calender. Do these face campus banishment too? I don't doubt thatsome people will find any magazine offensive, but in the great pool of ideas and opinion this can. rarelybe avoided. The idea of free speech is to encourage debate and rests strongly on the presumption that itis the individual who is best suited to make their own moral choices. Any attempt to enforce moralityshould be viewed skeptically. The road to censorship and bans is seldom clearly marked. It starts as ahazy track and ends as a four-lane interstate. One of the most well-known figures of 20th century wrote: "Theater, art, literature, cinema, press posters and window displays must be cleaned of allmanifestations of our rotting world ... Public life must be freed from the stifling perfume of our moderneroticism ... The right of personal freedoms recedes before the duty to preserve the race." The authorwas Adolf Hitler. Last year's AS Board (and quite possibly this year's too) maintained the opinion thatbecause the AS bookstore is a student cooperative, they, as our elected representatives, had the rightto make managerial decisions of what, and what not to sell. I find this appropriate for economic, notmoral, decisions. The magazines removed were making money so the decision was not economic. Ibelieve last year's board decision, was strongly influenced by two guest speakers. The first was NikkiCraft, a women's rights activist Li a separate incident last year, she and others donned ski masks andphotographed male customers patronizing "Great Northern Books," a Bellingham adult bookstore. Theypublished these photographs in a leaflet titled "Porn User of the Week." The second speaker was Lucy Colvin, who after recovering from bulimia, attributed her eating disorder to pornography. When Iquestioned the AS Board Adviser, Jack Smith, he said the two speakers gave their presentations fromchairs placed in front of the board. Smith said he felt that this positioning was of little consequence. Idisagree. There is an implication of higher authority in this seating arrangement As the purpose of theopen meeting was to persuade the AS Board to vote one way or the other, the positioning separated theactivists from the crowd and may have been instrumental in the persuasion process. Let's remember thatthe vote was 4-3. The only other speaker receiving this privilege was one other (opinion unknown) whocould not be heard from the rear of the room. If speakers are allowed to address the issue in this manner, impartiality by the board would seem to dictate that a representative expressing an opposing viewpointenjoy the same privilege. A speaker from the American Civil Liberties Union would have been appropriate. Playboy, Playgirl and Penthouse magazines have been banned from die AS Bookstore since last Spring quarter. Now we need a referendum with a 65 percent mandate to bring them back. This seems a quaintform of reverse logic. Surely, it would be more reasonable to require the referendum have a 65 percentmandate to take them off the shelves in the first place. If this were the process, we wouldn't have tospend valuable time reclaiming the freedom that a few morality crusaders managed to bilk us out of in the first place. ---------- Western Front - 1990 November 6 - Page 15 ---------- November 6,1990 The Western Front 15 LETTERS Initiative gives â€¢ beauty a chance -â€”"OearESitOT, Weyerhauser, Boeing, the National Association of Realtors and their allies are countingon you this Tues- * day â€” counting on your failure to show up at the voting booth.

But this board will be less susceptible to their influence, so they are fighting theinitiative, and their big stick is bucks. They 've pumped more than $ 1.5 million declared dollars into asmear campaign to confuse the public. This is the most expensive campaign ever mounted against aninitiative. Four of the top 10 contributors are from out the stateâ€”two are California developers andthey've hired a professional phone bank out of San Diego.

Ellis The Earring Man rules the planet DearEditor, It's an evil, evil world in which we live. Pictures of beautiful, nude, smiling women force men torape and ladies to under eat. Heathens question the existence of God. A supposedly respectablecollege publication dares' to print the word "FUCK" in an editorial. And so-called musicians threaten to tear apart the very threads that tie our society together by singing lewd, violent, sexual songs. We're allgoing to Hell in ahandbasket Yeah right. Lighten up people and give each other a break! Your lettersentertain us, amuse us, and make us giggle uncontrollably. The problem is me fact mat we think you'veintended mem seriously. We feel sorry for you. The problem here is that our so-cietyhaslostallofitsgoodrolemodels. Elvis is truly dead and Reagan damn well should be. There's no oneto look up to anymore. Except of course, the Earring Man. Yes, folks, that's right; he'sback . -â€”.andhopefully to stay. Vendors Row just wasn't the same without him. He gave us earrings on credit (coolearrings at that), kept his prices low, and told wonderful, philosophic stories. He's owned a disco, sold art throughout the country, and lived at peace. And now, like Christ, he was taken from the people and,also like Christ, he returned to lighten us once again. Earring Man is an important part of our lives hereat Western. He reminds us that in this yuppie, money-crazed society there are still honest, caringindividuals that can make a great earring at a low price. We can all learn a little something from ourbeloved Earring Man. Thank God (or whoever you believe in this week) he'sback!! m, Beth Pelto andMichael Long Undecided and English Education Middle East continued from page 10 mind that Noriega was the CIA's main man in South America for many years. Perhaps if the U.S. government had notstrengthened Noriega's hand throughout the years, he would never f- have come to power andsubsequently. many hundreds of American and Panamanian lives would have been saved. It seems thatthe U.S. government is against invasion, unless it is doing the invading. Because of the limited space, much has remained unsaid. However, my hope is that future articles will offer more substance in termsof discussing relevant issues. I agree with the main thrust of the article that prompted me into writingmis response. However, invalid examples do little to enhance mutual understanding, especiallywhen mentioned against a backdrop of dearth of pertinent discussion and information. One must becareful not to allow obvious cultural differences to work towards justification of "bad foreign policy." AsJesse Jackson said a couple of months ago, "Saddam Hussein is the wrong man with the rightmessage!" Ignore the man, but if you, or more specifically, yourgovernmentignores his message, therewill be others who will champion the Arab cause. I urge Americans to hold their government accountablefor its actions. As things stand today, the United States (as represented by its government) has animmense credibility problem. Its time the U.S. government lived up to its image as the greatestdemocracy "the world has ever known." SSIFI 47WAYSTOBEATTHEHIGHCOST OF COLLEGE! Make$12-$2Q-$50 an hour! Be your own boss!

Ayers staff reporter More than 500 people packed the Viking Union lounge Wednesday to hear Cesar Chavez, president of the Union Farm Workers lt; of America, call for support of a boycott of Californiagrapes. "We ask you to join with us in public action," Chavez told the enthusiastic crowd. "We ask youto boycott grapes ... in fact, we ask you to boycott anything that looks like a grape." The standing-room-only crowd gave Chavez two standing ovations as he spoke about the problems facing farm workers.Chavez said the worst of these problems is caused by the use of pesticides which he said led to thedevelopment of population "cancer clusters" â€” areas in rural California showing an alarmingly high rateof cancer victims. He said in McFarland, Calif., with a population of around 6,000, the cancer rate forchildren is 800 percent greater than the national average, and another farming town just miles to the north has a rate 1200 percent higher than the national average. "In these cancer clusters there is the highestrate of birth defects anywhere in the nation," Chavez said. Chavez, founder of the UFW and a well known activist for more than 20 years, said the main focus of the union's boycott are the pesticides he blamesfor these problems. "In 1965 the growers said they couldn't hope to raise one single grape withoutpesticides," he said. But, following a grape boycott, in which 17.5 million Americans joined, the growerscame to the negotiating table and the pesticide DDT was eventually prohibited from agricultural use.Now, Chavez said, new pesticides have replaced the old, and the conditions are no better. "Pesticidesare poisons â€” their only Cesar Chavez talks with students after purpose to kill living things. And weknow we are all living things," he said. "The debate always comes around to risks and benefits ... weneed to take risks as a population to benefit the polluters, that's what they are really saying." Chavezsaid public action was the only way to change the conditions for farm workers. "We don't have the votesto pass meaningful legislation in this state or in any state... We can't do it through public policy giving alecture in the VU lounge this (so) instead we offer public action. We need to bypass legislators and godirectly to the marketplace." ,. In a press cpnference prior to his speech, Chavez said the current grapeboycott, which started in 1988, was about to move into its third â€” and most important â€” stage. "In the third stage, the picketing starts ... the real controversial part," he said. Chavez said the earlier stages,which consisted of getting endorsements from religious and civic groups, and the current week ^'e rAnderson/The Western Front consumer boycott have given the farmers a solid base of support â€” around 12 million people; He said the union estimated they would need 18 million Americans to stop eatinggrapes in order to force the growers to negotiate. Chavez told the crowd they could make a difference,even at Western. "You can help us by not eating grapes, you can go to your food service and ask themto remove grapes ... on their (farm workers) behalf we ask you to do your part." Charges of anti-Semitism brought against Goller By Noelle Kompkoff campus government editor In a letter submitted toAssociated Students President Mark Aaserud Tuesday, a Veteran's Outreach Center member hascharged Vice President of External Affairs Chad Goller with anti-Semitism. With the opening remark, "(I)believe that anti-Semitism is alive and well at WWU," VOC member Shaun Bridge contends Goller made several racist statements about Jews during a discussion in the VOC last January â€” about the timeSaddam Hussein bombed Israel with SCUD missiles. Bridge alleges Goller told him, "all Jews are eviland they must die," in front of other VOC members Tim Osterholm, Mark Monroe, Dave Fuller, ChristinaRustvold and Mark Carlsen. "I was offended by these charges," Goller said. "I deny saying these quotes, and I deny the anti-Semitic charges." Bridge also stated Goller claimed to be an expert on Jewishculture because he said he had lived in Israel and attended Hebrew University in Jerusalem. Bridge saidGoller justified his statements by saying, "Jews... own... the slums in New York," and that a very credible professor in Canada "has documented and done research proving the Holocaust never happened."Bridge said he didnotmention the fact that he is Jewish to Goller at the time of the incident. "I did notsay, nor insinuate (that Jews are evil)," wrote Goller in a letter to Bridge. Goller said in the letter thatBridge must have misunderstood what he had said about conflicts be- Shaun Bridge tween blacktenants and their Jewish landlords, as well as misunderstanding what he said about a professor, whomGoller said taught the theory that white men are superior to blacks. "If you misunderstood anything I said, I offer you my sincere apologies.," Goller said in his letter to Bridge. "When we let misunderstandings go undiscussed, they become bigger misunderstandings. I am afraid that is what this has turned into."Monroe verified some of Bridges allegations. "At the time (Goller made his remarks) I was using thecomputer and there was a heated conversation between (Goller and Bridge) about Jews in general,"Monroe said. "Right before Chad left, I remember him saying the key words, 'They are evil and they mustdie.' Chad Goller I remember them (the words) because they were so harsh." Speaking as actingcoordinator for the VOC, Monroe stated a position of neutrality for the center. "We are not involved in theconflict," he said. Goller, who left Wednesday morning for a conference in Kansas City on racism, saidhe was "very surprised" when he heard about the allegations. "It's a very interesting form of retaliation,"Goller said, referring to the events surrounding VOC Coordinator Tim Osterholm's resignation last week.Osterholm resigned after Goller told him he was going to be held accountable for racial graffiti found on acalendar in the VOC See CHARGES on page 3 ---------- Western Front - 1991 April 12 - Page 2 ---------- 2 The Western Front NEWS April 12,1991 Briefs Clean up Squalicum Beach As part of the Earth Month Campaign this April, the Associated Students Environmental Center is sponsoring a cleanup ofSqualicum Beach April 14. Those interested in participating are asked to meet at 9:30 am. Sunday inViking Union 106. "It's an informal event," Chris Murphy, assistant coordinator of the Environmentalcenter, said. "We're not going to lead people around by the hand. People should have a good timeenjoying the fresh air and getting across the idea that beaches are something to treasure, not trash."Murphy said the center intends to display some of the trash picked up during the Earth Day Fair- 1991,scheduled for April 20 in the Preforming Arts Center courtyard.

Credit card applicants tobenefit Western Foundation scholarships By Mike Clynch staff reporter Within the next two or threeweeks Western students should be receiving applications for a special VISA credit card that will helpfinance scholarships and projects, Lance Olsen, AS treasurer/ secretary, said. The credit cards arethe brainchild of Olsen, who heads the Not For Profit Board responsible for initiating the idea. The board,which is comprised of the AS Board of Directors, negotiated with MBNA America Bank, a nationalbank based in Delaware, and Trans National Group Services to provide a mailing list of Western students in exchange for financial compensation. VISA will pay the Western Foundation $1 for every newaccount, 15 cents for every transaction, and S3 each time the card is renewed. Olsen estimates thatafter two years, $25,000 will be earned per year. The funds will be used for scholarships and specialprojects. The credit card currently has a 19.8 percent interest rate. Olsen said this was close to theaverage rate for most cards. A condition the board set for providing student mailing lists to VISA is thatthe list may not be released to any other businesses, to ensure that students aren't besieged byfloods of junk mail from other companies. A letter drafted by Olsen will accompany the credit cardapplication. Olsen said his letter will explain the board's position on this issue and the benefits availableto Western. Western will assume no liability for the cards. Credit histories and other financial criteria will be used to judge the acceptability of each application. Susan Durkee, a counselor for ConsumerCredit Counselling Service of Seattle which has a branch office in Student Credit Card applications. TylerAnderson/The Western Front downtownBellingham, said she didn't see a big problem with the cards.Durkee said she typically counsels only two students a month who have run up their credit card andcan't afford to pay the bill. She also said that she thought it may be better to learn how to deal withcredit in school rather than in the work force. The number of undergraduates, with creditcardsincreased37 percent from 1988 to 1990, according to Collegetrack, a marketing research and consultingfirm in Manhatten. Credit News, a trade magazine, estimates the number of college students owningcredit cards to be 3.9 million. This is about 70 percent of the total students enrolled in four-yearcolleges. The NotForProfitboard estimates 1,000 to 1,500 cards will be issued to Western studentsduring the first year. The Times said typical student credit limits are about $500. VISA, unlike AmericanExpress, does not require the bill to be paid in full every month. Charges can be paid off in installmentswith interest as long as a minimum charge is paid each month. Benefit dance raises money for burnvictim by Julie Davisson staff reporter More than 400 people attended the benefit dance Saturday forWestern studentPete Albert, 23, who wasbadly burned in the Jan. 2 fire at Bellingham's ML BakerApartments. Kim Owner , a close friend of Albert's died in the fire. The benefit was organized" by the Rugby Club in order to raise money to help Albert cover his medical Pete Albert and costs, whichare expected to be at least $500,000â€”insurance will only cover $300,000 worth of those bills. EmmettKerns, a rugby player and one of the organizers of the event, said the $4 cover charge and beer gardenproduced enough capital to sufficiently cover the costs of the event. Kerns estimates the proceeds totalapproximately $400. Kerns, a longtime friend of Albert's, said the dance was a success and everyoneseemed to have a good time. Captain Dick and the Portholes provided the music, and Kerns said theymade sure the audience knew about the cause. "It was fun for him (Albert) to see people and get out ofthe hospital for a while," Kerns said. "Pete said he had a real good time." At about 11 p.m., the RugbyClub presented Albert with a jersey printed with the number 11. Eleven was Albert's number when he played football at community college. Albert has been in S e a t t l e ' s Kim Owner HarborviewHospital since the day of the fire and was moved to the rehabilitation unit about three weeks ago. Kerns saidAlbert should be released from the hospital in about a week. Albert will need to stay close to the hospital for therapy, but he plans on returning to Western in the fall to finish a degree in environmental policy.Kerns said Albert loved playing rugby and hopes to play again someday. "I see no reason why hecan't," Kerns said.

"I couldn't live withmyself knowing my taxes were going to buy bombs that are killing people in El Salvador and Iraq," saidKerkvliet, a member of Bellingham's War Tax Redirection Campaign. Kerkvliet, joined by others whowant to influence where their taxes go, is manning an Alternative Revenue Service booth outside theFederal Building until April 15. A Tax Day rally on April 15 at the Federal Building will feature localspeakers, such as Western Professor Maury Foisy and Juan Oriz, director of the Commission ofHispanic and Ethnic Relations. The Alternative Revenue Service is a project of the War Resister' sLeague, a national organization that provides alternative tax forms for people who don't want their taxmoney going to the military. "I think people perceive they have no control whatsoever over their taxes,"campaign member Steve Wilson said as he explained why so few Americans question how their taxes are spent. According to pamphlets distributed by the War Resisters League, 61 percent of the federal government's 1990 budget was spent on past and present military expenses. For members of thecampaign, providing the funds for military build-up and intervention violates a deeply-heldcommitment to oppose war. "I identify myself as a conscien- IS THIS HOW YOUR TAX DOLLARSSHOULD BE SPENT? -fine 50.20 -4$ M 1,60 2.80 is100 MILITARY EMPLOYMENT ENVIRONMENTHOUSING EDUCATION HEALTH CARE Northern California Common Agenda Coalition â€¢ AmericanFriends Service Committee tious objector to military service and paying for military services," Wilsonsaid. Tom Clark, a member of Bellingham Citizens for Peace in the Middle East, has chosen to withhold the federal excise tax on his monthly phone bills in order to protest that such a small percentage offederal money is allocated to human resources, such as welfare and student grants. Both Wilson andKerkvliet said most reasons given for tax resistance are part .of complex moral and spiritual beliefs.Tax resistance is not a way of avoiding taxes, but a way to tell the federal government spendingpriorities should be changed, Kervliet said. "We're not opposed to taxation, that's essential," Wilsonsaid. "It's just our priorities are out of line." One passerby said, "Once they (the IRS) have it (my taxes)in hand, it's out of my control." However, campaigning members said many options are available totaxpayers with varying degrees of risk. The simplest way to show disapproval of government spendingpriorities is to refuse to pay the federal phone tax. The excise tax on all local and long-distancecharges was instituted during the Vietnam War in order to help pay the war's rising costs, and isstill generating S3 billion a year for military spending, Kerkvliet said. Withholding the tax simply requiresmailing a letter of explanation or one of the War Tax Redirection Campaign's special forms along with the bill to tell the phone company how much is being withheld and why. According to the campaign flier, noone has been charged with a criminal offence because of this action. Kerkvliet said he has withheld his phone tax for eight years without reprisal. Taxpayers can also choose to withhold a portion of theirincome tax and include with the IRS form the EZ Peace form distributed by the War Resister's League.The EZ Peace form looks like a 1040 form and allows taxpayers to place portions of their taxes underthe headings human resources; physical resources; environment, education and culture; Interna- .tional Conflict Resolution; and Justice. The amounts range from $1- S50. Individuals wanting to take a greater risk can withhold the military percentage of their taxes (61%) or withhold all of their federalincome tax. The War Tax Redirection Campaign will also be collecting signatures forf Senate bill689. The new "peace tax" bill would create a conscientious objector status for taxpayers, a reviewboard to screen tax objectors in the same way a draft board screens conscientious objectors tomilitary service, a federal peace tax fund and a national peace college, according to the NationalCampaign for a Peace Tax Fund brochure. Members of the War Tax Redistribution Campaign willpresent the Peace Tax bill petitions to Al Swift's office at 1:30 pm Friday. continued from page 1n^;:the::.OT^-6|winier:!quarter.- Goller said he wondered why Bridge waited so long before making acomplaint. "It's; interesting he (Bridge) didn't come talk to me about this," Goller said. "Why did he waitamonth and ahalf to bring this up?" Bridge said he didn't file his complaint sooner because shortly afterthe incident his father was severely injured in a coma for 36 days. Rustvold, listed in Bridge's letter as awitness to Goller's alleged remarks, said she heard Goller talking about Jews and the Palestinian issue. "I did hear the comment 'Jews are evil and they must be destroyed," Rustvold said. In a regularlyscheduled AS Board meeting Tuesday night, Aaserud said he hadn't looked into the issue enough tomake a coment. "These are very serious charges and I will be working with Chad on this," Aaserudsaid.

Sparrow's work was displayed as part of the "Elemental Clay" exhibit put onby WCC's Studio Potters' Program April 5-7. Pieces of functional ware by Gregg Downey and SandyRowe were also displayed. "It's kind of like psychic time travel," said Sparrow describing his creativeprocess as he stood beside one of his sculptures. "It's pretty much a subconscious activity. I try for apure sense of form and balance. Sometimes I get really focused in on a place, like Egypt or Africa.Other times it's more vague, like a fuzzy picture," Sparrow said. Sparrow's sculpture is unusual andstriking, making good use of natural colors and motifs. Sparrow said he draws on themes and imageswhich he believes make up a cross-cultural pool of myths and icons. "All mythologies share commonsymbols, use the same elements," Sparrow said. Myths and symbols serve as his inspiration, notartistic crutches, Sparrow said. "I don't believe in ripping off some other culture's symbology. I draw onall kinds of common themes." Animal imagery dominates Sparrow's art. "Mainly dogs and cats," hesaid with a laugh. "Nothing particularly exotic." Sparrow admits he was influenced byAmericanIndianreligious artifacts garnered during his travels inMexico, Guatemala and the AmericanSouthwest; Animals like the jaguar and coyote had particular significance. "That's what's great aboutart. It's a cheap way to travel. Through my sculpture, I can go anywhere in the world," he said. Sparrow,who is coordinator of the Studio Potters' Program, has been a potter for 18 years. He came from anartistic background, both his parents had careers in fine and commercial art. He said he spent some time as a production potter in San Francisco, spinning out pots and bowls for the public, but eventuallytiredof the dull routine and lack of creative freedom. "People become production potters because theythink they are escaping from the rat race," he said. "But after a while they discover it's just a differentkind of rat race." Now, Sparrow said, he does strictly the type of art he feels like doing. "Once itbecomes work, it loses its fun, its sense of spontaneity. A lot of people sell out, do the stuff that getsthe most money. I prefer enjoying what I do." Boulevard Park's Orca Gallery serves as the headquartersfor the Studio Potters Program, with its own kiln and work area, and the added bonus of the bay view.People can join the program through Whatcom Community College, whether they are serious potters orjust want to get their fingers in some wet clay.

Produced by TheatreFest '91 and sponsored by theBellingham Municipal Arts Commission, Peoria will openinMay attheWhatcomMuseum of History andArt. Produced and directed by Adam Ward, the creator of TheatreFest, Peoria is the examination ofmiddle class America, andits oftenhumorous struggle against boredom. "Everyone (in the play) wants to be special. They are all looking for the 'unique article.' The secret to being special is to decide that youare," Boynton said. Boynton said this is the theme he has derived from working on the play's production so far. Both Hahn, the other lead, and he play a complex, bizarre, yet realistic set of characters in theplay. In one scene, Klein has the characters speak what they are thinking, while recorded voice-oversrepresent actual conversation. Boynton, a 1981 graduate of theatre and dance, is one of the two leadactors in the play. His arrival back in Bellingham, a decade later, is with a great deal of change andpersonal growth. "I was being tumbled along by the Jason Haws/The Western Front Actress Jody Hahnand director Adam Ward look on as actor Ken Boynton strikes a pose inbetween interviews for "Peoria."winds of fate, I guess. I was trying to climb out of the ocean of art, only to be ripped back in by theundertow," Boynton said. Boynton said he explored his talents after graduating from Western as amusician in a rock band, song writer and as on-air commercial talent. He finally found his niche inacting through a production with the Mount Seattle Theatre Project and two productions with Seattle'sacclaimed Empty Space Theatre. Boynton has also appeared in two films, Lessie's Rainbow andStages. Hahn, the other lead in Peoria, is a 1990 theatre graduate. Since her graduation, Hahn said shehas played a role as "the little nun" in the Seattle Repertory Theatre's production House of Blue Leaves. Reflecting on her role in Peoria, Hahn said, "It (the play) is amazingly true... It's rare a piece of theatrecatches this much in a show that's not that long." Hahn was also at the Seattle Fringe-Fest in the playTrial By Jury, as well as in the New City Director's Festival production of Stop. Hahn said she has keptin close contact with other Western graduates through an independent film project. Hahn said Gee, thesilent black-and-white film she is working on, is written, directed and produced by alumni. Hahn saidshe met Ward, theplay's director, during the first TheatreFest in 1988. TheatreFest is perfect in thiscommunity which has a lot of college theatre, but not a lot within the community itself, Hahn said.Crane, a 1985 self-design Fairhaven graduate, is the designer and technical director for Peoria.. Cranesaid the self-design major in performing arts' design and production is a real asset when he is lookingfor employment. Crane said it proves that he is a self-motivated worker and thinker since he wrote hisown major. Crane said he built on his expertise as an intern at the Berkeley Repertory Theatre. He alsoworked at the Bathhouse and Intiman Theatres in Seattle as a technician. Crane is now in his secondyear as the designer and technical director at Skagit Valley Community College's theatre department.For TheatreFest '91, Cranehas the taskof transforming the old city council chambers in the WhatcomMuseum, or what is now called the Rotunda Room, into a stage for the play. "The script calls for skewed spacing â€” strange angles which get you off balance," Crane said. He added that the set he hasplanned for the Rotunda Room is non-traditional in the theatrical sense. "Theatre people will be baffled,"Crane said. This may enhance the play's appeal toward a wide, diverse audience. "Peoria is not just atown, it's a state of mind," playwright Klein has said about the production. Tickets for the play, whichruns fromMay 16-19 and23-26, are $5 for students and senior citizens; S7.50 general admission; and $6for members of the Whatcom Museum and Allied Arts.

Aflfe / I P^ ^ /Â£ ^ tfBh V ^ 4@h IP W WW1 -9 W The C R A Z V 8s ore bocK again The Crazy 8s perform in front of a captivated crowd. By KarlW. Jensen staff reporter "Two minutes to purgatory," spouts one of the Speedy O'Tubbs bartenders asshe passes by, only moments before the doors open to admit the impatient Saturday night crowd. TheCRAZY 8s are back again. Little more than a month after the band's last appearance here, the crowd isready for that special brand of music the 8s seem to covet for themselves. "It's hard to describe ourmusic," guitarist Mark Wanaka said while other members of the band struggled for a label. "It'scorrugated silk... it's natural polyester," the other band members finally said. "I think our music is unique because we blend so many different styles and come up with a sound that's like, sort of undefinable," Todd "Dookey" Duncan, lead vocalist and alto sax player said. Their music, in fact, does seem to defyany attempt to label it. Younever quite seem to know what will pop up next in their music. One minuteyou'11 hear hard-core, old-fashioned jazz, the next it's reggae or ska, and the next minute they'reblending funk, fusion, punk, or any number of styles. If the crowd waiting in the cool, lavishly and oddlydecorated dungeon called Speedy O'Tubbs can't figure out just what the CRAZY 8s play, they don'tseem to mind. Everyone is there for the pure enjoyment of the music. This is only the group's secondperformance with the new, full lineup of eight members, which includes new tenor sax player JayCollins and keyboard player Ron Regan. From the original nine members, the group had dropped toseven until recently. But once again, the band is the CRAZY 8s. The current line-up includes Duncan on lead vocals and alto saxophone, Wanaka playing guitar, Tim "Hot" Tubb blowing trombone and singingback-up vocals, Carl "The Truth" Smith playing percussion, Blackness on drums, Michael Regan onbass and the two new youngsters, Collins and Ron Regan. New or not, everyone definitely held their own on Saturday night . Impressive solos were laid down on various tunes by all members (Wow! Keep thenew guys.) It was quickly evident the audience was enjoying itself. The subdued bar transformed into arolling, jumping, sweating concert "pit." Even the guys playing pool in the back couldn't resist themusic. "Bellingham people seem to listen to the music as opposed to just coming to see the band,get drunk and get laid. When they 're here for the music, that's nice," Duncan said. Old stuff, new stuff,and a couple of interesting cover-tunes rounded out the three-hour-plus show. The band was relentless,making everyone dance until they could barely stand. People wandered home, complete with squishedtoes, dozens of bruises, and big, contented smiles on their faces. The CRAZY 8s, a nine-year-old bandout of Corvalis, Ore., are currently touring to promote their latest album, "Doggapotamus World" â€”their fifth album released from their own Red Rum Records (anybody get the joke?) "DoggapotamusWorld" Western Front file photo was the 8s' first studio project in more than three years."Doggapotamus World's" slow sales take-off has been a bit of a letdown for some band members.However, they are still expecting good things from it, Duncan said. "It's doing all right, but it's notdoing great. It's sort of disappointing because we think it's one of our most exciting deals we've recorded.Itmore clearly captures our energy on record," Wanaka said. "It was one of the most creative packageswe've ever done," Duncan added. Oneof the main reasons hindering the band's success, and its recordsales, is thehier archy and bureaucracy of the record business, Duncan said. Unsigned, as of yet, to amajor record label, the 8s handle everything themselves. "Wecan'tafford the machinery to push recordslike the big guys," Duncan said. "It's not such a great deal just getting signed. It's what happens after. Sometimes they just use you as a tax write-off," Wanaka added. Hard work and perseverance seem tobe paying off for the CRAZY 8s. "We've put out five of our own records, paid every bill ourselves, had fivenational tours, played with 25 international acts, and we are still making a living at it," Wanaka said. The CRAZY 8s plan to tour the Pacific Northwest for the rest of the spring and summer, and a larger,nationwide tour next fall. The 8s will possibly begin work on another studio project early next year.Watch for it. "Whatever we're doing, we're going to keep doing it," Duncan said.

Youthful Ridge Quartet performs at PAC By ArtHughes staff reporter The Ridge Quartet did not blaze into the first movement of Mozart's String Quartetin C Major, K. 157. A young, but obviously experienced group, they set a tone in the first bars of theallegro that delivered a musical warmth and charm ^throughout the performance. Instead of anydistracting attempts to display individual egos, these four musicians proved they are dedicated to theart of playing in a string quartet. They played the opening movement without overpowering oneanother and let the beautiful descending melody in the first violin shine through where it needed to.The Andante was a slower, more sombermovementwithlyricmelodies in all the voices. The theme returned frequently to a brief, understated arpeggio in the cello, showing Peter Wyrick's subtle restraint withinthe group and a mature ear for dynamic. "When I was younger I wanted to play fast and loud," Wyricksaid after the performance, "but playing well in a string quartet is something you come to when you aremore mature as a musician." Second on the program was Franz Joseph Haydn's String Quartet in CMinor, Op. 17, No. 4. The group made full use of every dynamic mark, passing musical phrases to one another with a care and ease that comes only after years of playing together. Violist Maria LambrosKannen said the quartet is good at the continual process of "tuning in" to one another, in practice and inperformance. "Before we go on stage, we knowâ€”alittle bitâ€”what we're going to hear. Then we try tolisten to one another with fresh ears each time," Kannen said. Thehighlightoftheperformance was thethird movement of the second quartet by Mozart, the Quartet in G Major, K. 387. It exploited themusicians' ability to play as a single voice. Two or three of the players would lay down a rich,emotional bed of harmony, allowing the other players, in turn, to soar above or weave in and out. Theplayers would make eye contact with one another before ex- . changing the theme or continuing themelodies between themselves. It was easy to see and hear how personal and conversational this quartetcould be. The Ridge Quartet has won two major chamber music competitions. They were Quartet-in-Residence at the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, S. C, and they spent the summer at the Italian SpoletoFestival. In May of 1988 they became the youngest quartet to perform in Carnegie Hall. Wyrick saidhe doesn't despair that the word "young" is frequently mentioned before their name. "We're pretty young; our oldest member is 32. It just means we have so much repertoire ahead of us," Wyrick said. Theprogram Tuesday night stuck to the roots of the classical period, but presented some subtle surprise.Mozart's Quartet in C is an early quartet by the composer, written in Italy in 1772. It is often used as a practice piece, but rarely performed in concert by modern string quartets. Kannen said they decidedonMozart' s Quartet in C Major almost by whimsy. "We just thought it would be fun to work it upbecause it is passed over by so many other quartets," Kannen said. In addition to Kannen and Wyrick,the quartet includes Krista BennionFeeney andRobertRinehart, both on violin. To maintain a highstandard, the quartet only leams about 12 new pieces a year, and there is little available on recording.With a first-rate sound, however, and mature outlook on the future, more will surely be heard from theRidge Quartet "Everything is so fun," cellist Wyrick said, "and the thought of being together for thenext 20 years... is a real comfort."

Tennis improves record By Suzi Zobrist staff reporter The Westernwomen's tennis team notched another win after hosting Skagit Valley Community College, on April9. The final score, 7-2, brings the Viking's overall record to 8-2. Although it was wet and cold, theweather didn' t hinder the teams' performance. In the singles, victories came from freshman EliseRosenblum in theNo.3 match and freshman Brenda Swigart in the No .4 match. Both doubles matcheswere won instraightsets.withfreshmanMelinda Castonguay and junior Carin Clow in the No.l match andSwigart teamed with Rosenblum in the No.2 match. Coach Jo Ann Andrews said she feels this season's tennis team is strong and with District Championships quickly approaching, she hopes for good weather to work on the team's improvement. "My goal for the team is to have them win districts and thenadvance on to nationals," Andrews said. "I see areas for improvement in the strategy of matches playedand we (the team) work on these changes. Any big changes will need to be worked on this summer."I'm really excited about the tennis team," team member Karen Richert said. "Everyone is reallysupportive of it, and it looks really promising for us." In order to "keep everyone sharp with their game," a challenge system has been designed. Player line-up is determined by Andrews, based on the setsplayed by the players. If players wish to advance and change their seating, they may challenge otherplayers in the seats they want. If the challenged players lose, they drop one seat and the victoriousplayers advance. "Everyone has been challenging matches lately," Richert said. "Everyone isincredibly close and there have been changes." With many home matches coming up this month, thetennis team is looking for support from Western students. "I didn't expect many spectators to be at thematch because of the weather, but as the team continues to win, hopefully more people will show up,"Andrews said. Kevin Bryant named director of marketing and promotions By Clayton Wright staffreporter Kevin Bryant was named Director of Marketing and Promotions for the Athletic DepartmentalWestern, a position which did not exist prior to its announcement March 25. The position was created to help supplement funding for the athletic department, which is partially subsidized by the state.Bryant, 32, will be in charge of creating a market plan for the department and increasing publicrelations. "Our focus next year will be to put more money in the program and more people in thestands," Bryant said. "We want to be the best entertainment value for your dollar north of Seattle."Bryant said in order to achieve the goals of the department, it will have to get people to attend gameseven if the team is losing. Bryant said he intends to add post-game dances, showcase prominentpersonalities, and give out promotional prizes. "We're not trying to create a circus because ourathletics are poor," Bryant said. "However, I feel we need a different approach to promotions outsidethe gym. Wewantpeople to wonder what's coming up next." After graduating from Western in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in speech communication, Bryant returned in 1990 to earn his master's degree instudent personnel administration. Bryant was actively involved in the local community in the last threeyears and has established many business contacts prior to returning to Western. With this experience,Bryant said he feels he understands fund raising from a non-profit viewpoint. "We're real fortunate to have Kevin to fill this position," Lynda Goodrich, Western director of athletics, said. "He brings a readyknowledge of Bellingham and Whatcom County, an understanding of the philosophy of athletics atWestern, and experience in marketing and promotion. You couldn't find a more enthusiasticambassador for our program than Kevin." Even though the position is labeled as a part-time job,Bryant admits it will be more of a full-time job. Bryant will also continue as assistant coach to BradJackson for the men's basketball team, a position he has occupied for the past four seasons. Bryant has also served as the athletic department's alumni relations representative the past two years and played a major role in the return of homecoming. From 1976 to 1980,Bryant played basketball for the Vikings and remains the school's fourth all-time leading scorer with 1,310 points. He was an all-district and all-conference selection and participated in the first Olympic Sports Festival in 1978. ---------- Western Front - 1991 April 12 - Page 10 ---------- 10 The Western Front OPINION April 12,1991 FRONTLINE Boycott of grapes could help save thechildren His voice was loud and clear as he spoke to a charged crowd of more than 500 people, gatheredin the Viking Union Lounge to hear him on Wednesday. Cesar Chavez, president of the United FarmWorkers of America, had a simple message: Stop buying grapes (as well as Chateau Ste. Michelle wine)and help save our children. If an estimated 3 percent of wine buyers and 9-10 percent of grapeconsumers stop purchasing these products, the current grape boycott will be successful. The purpose ofthe boycott is to pressure vineyard owners to meet three demands: 1) ban the use of the five mostharmful, cancer causing pesticides used in grape growing (Captan, Parathion, Phosdrin, Dinoseb, andMethyl Bromide), 2) implement a joint UFW/grower testing program to detect poisonous residues ongrapes sold in stores and allow the results to be made public, 3) establish free and fair elections and good faith collective bargaining for farm workers. This is the third grape boycott Chavez has orchestrated. The first, implemented in 1960s, was successful because 17.5 million people boycotted grapes. Successfulboycotting of California grapes led to a grape contract that included a ban on DDT, Dieldrin, and Aldrin in1970. The current boycott, which began in 1988, is entering a critical stage in which increased awareness and support is needed more than ever. Extensive spraying of Captan and other pesticides is killing farmworkers and causing cancer and birth defects in McFarland, Calif., and other "cancer cluster" townsthroughout the San Joaquin Valley. In McFarland, where the cancer rate for children age 4 to 12 is 800percent higher than the national average, a square block exists in which one child in every home hasfallen victim to cancer. As Chavez said, the workers who suffer from pesticide inhalation "areparakeets for the market place." The residue from those pesticides remains on those grapes and isingested by thousands of Americans. The state of California is in the pocket of agri-businesses and theEnvironmental Protection Agency has become just one more bureaucratic wheel in the political machine.As a result grapes with Captan residue levels of as much as 39 parts per million are legally sold in themarket place. This is 10 times higher than acceptable pesticide levels on European produce. The EPAhas inconsistently banned the use of Captan on other crops but refuses to stop its use in grape and grain production. The reasons for allowing the use of deadly pesticides is purely economic and the result isdeath for thousands of people across Americaâ€”unless we act now. The American people blocked theuse of DDT by banning grapes in the '60s and they have the power to do it again. As Chavez slated, thegovernment won't stop it and legislation won't stop it, so the market place has become "our court of lastresort." Eight hundred thousand children under the age of 12 are working the Califomian grapefieldsâ€”fields sprayed with deadly pesticides. "Help them and give them a chance," Chavez said.

NEA:victim of political opportunism i By Michael Anthony Staff reporter have a cousin in Congress andalthough we'venevermet,Ifeel I've come to know him well. He is Representative Richard "Dick" Armey(Republican, Texas), a frequent guest on television news programs. A man with a mission, Armey isseeking the abolition of the National Endowment For the Arts. A stocky, media-friendly conservative,Armey is riding the waves of a tumultuous battle over federal subsidy of art some consider to be anti-religious, obscene, or otherwise objectionableâ€”an issue that enables him to score easy points with hisconstituents, and achieve much craved national attention. Armey's infatuation with the NEA fracasseems to be a matter of convenience rather than conviction. He has positioned himself strategically andsafely in the eye of a raging hurricane, within an issue mainly popular for its obscenity and censorshipaspects. In earlier television appearances, Armey uttered his disapproval of taxpayer dollars fundingsuch works as the homo-erotic photographs of Robert Mapplethorpe. In recent interviews though, Armeyhas modified his position. Transforming his view to one of general distaste for all federal art subsidies,Armey now claims to have no quarrel with controversial art. Publicly, at least, he has exchanged hismoral outrage for what passes as simple, frugal budget consciousness. He resists the label of censorunder the guise of a budget cutter. An intelligent political strategist, Armey wears two masks. All atonce, he is viewed by conservatives as a staunch defender of moral values, and by moderates as aprotector of the public troughâ€” allowing him to accept the appreciation of happy conservative watchdogsand reject the charges of liberal art supporters with equal grace (by claiming he is actually trying to putan end to the bias and censorship of the NEA). To middle America he is not perceived as a threat to civilliberties, to moralists he is the threat they are looking for, and to the arts community he is hard to pindown. Armey deflects criticism by referring to the NEA itself as a "censorship organization" that makessubjective judgements about the value of art all the time. Looking at the present system of art subsidy, itis true. The NEA, sometimes as a result of pressure and sometimes out of bureaucratic self-interest,does act as a censor of the arts. It is true that, as long as we federally fund art, we are engaged incensorship unavoidably. It is among the policymakers that a shift in thinking needs to occur. Art should not be subsidized. It is the artist that needs and deserves our support. The National Endowment shouldnot be destroyed, just reorganized. What is overlooked among all the smoke and hot air surrounding this debate is a growing misconception of the arts. A simple view is art is merely attractive, decorative, orsimply something that sells. But art is not only what is publicly palatable or commercially viable. Artcanalso be disturbing; a window to another culture (or counter-culture), or even a different See Anthony, page 11 Drugs: an unnecessary crutch A By Jeff Flugel Staff reporter 11 right, let's get this straight â€”taking drugs to stimulate relaxation and creativity is a normal activity?It's common, maybe, but is itsomething to be endorsed? The campus majority seems to think so. I, for one, do not. I heartily agreewith those who feel we need to keep a watchful eye on the U.S. government's anti-drug campaign beforeit squashes all First Amendment freedoms beneath its iron heel, but to support drug use as a positive,necessary means of stress relief is ridiculous, not to mention disturbing. We all know the negative effects of drug use. I won't argue against the positive medical and psychological benefits, for they have beenproven. But occasional drug use totters constantly on the brink of dependency. Using marijuana or"harder" drugs to alter consciousness or to relax after a stressful day's work is not a natural technique.Fitness experts have proclaimed for years that normal, moderate exercise and biofeedback techniquesare the best and most natural means to physical and psychological harmony. Exercise, meditation,yoga, good nutrition, adequate sleepâ€” in other words, a healthy lifestyleâ€” produce all the natural"highs" an individual needs. Let's face it: clean living has been proven time and again to lead to all-around superior mental, emotional and physical health and performance. Drugs are a crutch, a more insidiousand precarious means to an end. Yes, for ages other cultures have used drugs as integral parts of theirtheological and philosophi-. cal lifestyles. However, they have relied even more on physical activity, diet,and self-control to achieve and maintain their peaceful, harmonious existence. The claim that drug use isinherent to the creative process is spurious. For every artistic or literary giant who relied on controlledsubstances for inspiration, there are dozens of others who never used them and who would have beenoffended to think that their own abilities were not enough to suitably express their genius. Whether theyare illegal and come in little plastic bags or legal and come in cans or bottles marked Bud or JackDaniels, the bottom line is that drugs are not necessary. The human body is an amazing organism.Properly treated, it can function at incredible levels of performance. Foreign substances are just that:foreign, alien and not needed. ---------- Western Front - 1991 April 12 - Page 11 ---------- April 12,1991 T FTTFR S The Western Front 11 From Anthony, page 10 lifestyle. Art is a means ofemotional and thoughtful communication. It is awesome, intriguing, and miraculousâ€”even when itoffends. For those who appreciate art and the artist, a system of public support is essential, filling a voidthat could otherwise be filled only by private interests. But a government-as-curator system of "morallysensitive" selection is totally unacceptable. The current NEA runs as if it is commissioning art for anemperor, being careful not to offend, when what it really should be doing is simply existing as a means ofsupport for artists. What constitutes art is most properly judged individually by those who create andappreciate it, not by government bureaucrats or the narrow, money-guided interests of corporate boardmembers. Faced with the option of eradicating the NEA, as Armey has suggested; or providing publicsupport to the artist without restriction of creati ve expression, it is the latter that seems more prudent and rational. Abolishing federal funding of the arts would be the ultimate form of censorship: censorshipthrough deprivationâ€”a wide-reaching form of censorship affecting all art, whether controversial or not.Hopefully, with perseverance, the arts community can inform the public of the need for federal support. atyour pace Liberation possible only through Jesus, not pot Dear Editor. I smoked pot for three yearsbefore experiencing a radical shift in lifestyle from "joints to Jesus," and I can agree with Kevin Keyes'opinion in the Western Front â€” getting high was indeed a "very pleasurable experience."... But after Imet the person who changed my life forever, I soon learned there was a sharp distinction between meresensation and truth, and between pleasure and real joy... In his article, Keyes says that people have trieda wide variety of substances in pursuit of a "few laughs" and says that marijuana is one of them. He thengoes on to say, "Nothing in life is perfect, but marijuana is close." This is true in one sense, but false inanother. There is something in life that is perfect, but nothing in this world can produce it, for a very simple but powerful reason: We are made in the image of God, not in the image of nature. We also have a soul,which means we were not made for this world â€” so why live as if we were? If you are seeking happinessthrough pot, you will always be in pursuit of it, but you will never find it. ...True liberation is complete andsustained. If it does not liberate fully, it is not true liberation. But it is obvious that getting stoned neveraccomplishes true liberation from boredom; if it did, the pot smoker would be able to quit after one jointâ€” but in fact, he smokes it again and again... The "Frontline" commentary suggests the legitimacy ofdrug use in religious ceremonies, but it is a mistake to suppose (as I once did) that one can experienceGod through drugs. God is a person, not a thing. He relates to us as a father relates to his child. We dealwith him through trust and humility, not through a brass pipe... â€”Daniel Carollo VOC homophobia issueremains unresolved Work at our place, Dear Editor: The racial graffiti found on a calendar in the office ofthe Veterans Outreach Center, and the subsequent resignation of VOC coordinator Tim Osterholm, is ashocking reminder of the level of bigotry on our campus. Certainly someone with Osterholm's principleshas no place in anything calling itself an "outreach center," regardless of his other qualifications. Pleaserecall that last quarter it was Mr. Osterholm whose homophobia and sexism drove him to request an officeon another floor to get away from the Women's Center and the Gay and Lesbian Alliance (Jan. 29Western Front). And he wanted out of the AS Human Resource Program as well, so he wouldn't have tolisten to them "talk about gay rights, feminist issues, and the like." Apologies have not followed eitherincident. Instead, VOC employee Tom Walsh claimed "...you can't ask people to curb the way they think. We're adults now; we already have that Mind-set." With Osterholm taking his prejudices back into thecampus community, has bigotry within the VOC quietly slipped back into the closet? And have the staffmerely learned to hide their feelings in order to protect themselves from those who might be hurt oroffended? No university needs an outreach group reaching out with the poison of bigotry. If Osterholm didnot write the offending graffiti that precipitated his resignation, then the author presumably is still there,along with the mind-set Walsh so clearly â€¢ described. As a veteran, I find the remarks of Mr.Osterholm and Mr. Walshâ€”and the tacit acceptance of their prejudice by the other VOC staffmembersâ€” a disgrace to the military, to the college, and to the community. The continued operation ofthis program should be predicated on the completion by the staff of a course in sensitivity training and apublic apology from the VOC including a statement reaffirming their principles of equality. -Mark W.EllisHeavy metal rock stars: Don't like 'em? Don't listen! Dear Editors, Why are you wasting your time rantingand raving about what heavy metal rock stars do on stage? If you are so bothered about theirperformances, just don't attend them. Is it okay for Mick Jagger, Prince, Elvis, and Chuck Berry to perform in a sexually titillating manner, while it isn't okay for heavy metal musicians? Lighten up. Let the publicdecide if they like it or not. Next, you'll be claiming that Ozzy Osborne and Judas Priest are responsiblefor teen suicide. I am disappointed that the Front would waste its time on such garbage instead offocusing on more important issues such as the merciless slaughter of Kurds and Shiites by SaddamHussein or more relevant issues such as state funding for education. â€”Phil Braver, ElectronicsTechnology We know that sometimes you have the kind of work that only you can do.

By Tiffany White The Western Front "Is your identity on this campus in thiscurriculum? Nobody is free while others are oppressed." "86.7 percent of Western studentsexperience white privilege; are you one?" Bright messages written with chalk trail across the brickwalkways of Western's campus. Banners hang on building walls that surround Red Square. Both thechalk messages and the banners carry messages that raised discussion and questions amongstudents, faculty and staff this week about diversity on campus. "The chalk things confuse me. Idon't understand," said senior Suzanne Vince-Cruz. "They make people uncomfortable because theymay be possibly perpetuating the idea that people would be overreacting to the issue of racism." "It is hard to explain because I am a minority. I don't know if the signs are actually helping us, " Vince-Cruzsaid. "If s creating awareness, but since they are confusing, I don't know if they are positively ornegatively affecting us, not at this point, because they are kind of vague." New messages are writtenon the bricks each day to replace those that were either rubbed away by student traffic or by thefountain's spray. The messages change in response to student reactions. "Why is it that white peopleare so upset with the raising of awareness of issues of race, class and gender at Western? And theissue of white privilege?" a chalk message written Thursday asked. The signs and the chalkmessages are written by a group of students that wish to remain anonymous and did not want tocomment about its work. The signs were removed Wednesday because they were not approved by theuniversity, said Director of Student Activities Jack Smith. "The only reason they were taken down isbecause they were not approved for that area." "Spaces are reserved only for banners that are related toa specific event or activity for publicity," Smith said. However, the group received approval by theuniversity to write messages in chalk on campus. "The chalking on the bricks on Red Square werereserved by a student group," Smith said. Chalk art that is related to an event can be reserved oncampus brick walkways, he said. "Part of their purpose were environmental and social issues," Smithsaid. The chalk messages written on trash cans, benches and campus signs were not approved andwere removed, Smith said. The chalk messages promoted several discussions among students inRed Square. See Chalk, page 4 Karen Morse's salary doesn't measure up By Katherine Schiffner andMeredith Lofberg The Western Front President Karen Morse has raised millions of dollars for Westernwhile she has been president, but she is still substantially underpaid when compared with othercollege presidents. According to a study conducted by The Western Front, Morse's salary, $124,428 forthis year, is one of the lowest, compared to the salaries of 23 presidents and chancellors at similarcolleges and universities. Currently, Morse earns the fifth-lowest salary of all the college anduniversity presidents for which data was .available.. 'Morse-'-s.?':â€¢-contract- was reviewed byWestern's Board of Trustees in 1997 and will be reviewed again in 2001. "The stated salary for thepresident at Western is very low," said Michael Becker, Western's director of human resources. "I havenever begrudged the president her salary. She earns it." Morse, who might earn as much as $400,000 ayear if she worked in private industry, said in an e-mail statement, "Those, who choose public service asa career, whether in government or nonprofit agencies or education, obviously don't do so for monetary reward no matter how well they may be compensated in comparison to others in the same field ofservice." "I can't speak for others, but, for myself, I can only say that there is another kind ofcompensation that a career in education brings," she said. Morse refused to comment further about hersalary or the study. The study included public, coed institutions with 9,000 to 13,000 students, thathad programs comparable to Western. All colleges and universities analyzed met the CarnegieFoundation for the Advancement of Teaching definition for . Level One Masters (Comprehensive)Colleges and Universities. Such institutions offer a full range of baccalaureate programs, include agraduate program and award 40 or more master's degrees annually in one or more subjects. Enrollmentfigures for Fall 1997 were confirmed by contacting each school's registrar's "office. The study alsotook into consideration the cost of living in Bellingham versus other areas of the country. A collegepresident living in New York City, for example, would need to earn more to cover the cost of living in thatcity. Based on the Consumer "Price Index market basket of goods and local housing costs, the studycomputed via the Internet the equivalent of each president's salary if they lived in Bellingham. Afteradjusting for the cost of living, Morse's salary still ranked near the bottom. The study's hypothesis,which was disproved by the data, - was-, that_Morse rearned - substantially more than otheradministrators at her level. After factoring in the cost of living, President Leslie Cochran of YoungstownState University, in Youngstown, Ohio, earns the highest salary of all of the presidents andchancellors. Study results were available for 23 institutions at press time. Cochran's salary, $175,000, which is equivalent to earning $219,003 in Bellingham, is nearly $95,000 more than Morse's when thecost of living is accounted for. The college president earning the least amount of money in comparison to Morse is Yolanda Moses, who heads the City University of New York City College. Although her salaryis $130,000, the cost of living in Manhattan, NY, brings her salary down to$51,994 when compared withthe cost of living in Bellingham. However, the average amount of salaries earned by presidents at similar public universities, is $145,426 before calculating the cost of living and $153,451 after, is low comparedto the amount earned by presidents at private colleges and universities. According to the 1997-98 studyconducted by the College and University Personnel Association, the average salary for a collegepresident at a private institution is $161,004.

Each was driving his car at a snail's pacenear the center of the road. At the moment of impact, their heads were both out of the windows and their heads smacked together. Both men were hospitalized with severe head injuries, but their cars weren'tscratched. Another idiot has a child Mother Lesli Szabo sued a Hamilton, Ontario, hospital for $1.7million because the staff didn't make her 1993 childbirth pain-free. Physicians said painless childbirth could not be achieved because the anesthesia would endanger the child, but Szabo said she expectedenough comfort to be able to read or knit while the child was being delivered. She admitted to previoussquabbles with physicians, explaining, "When I'm in pain, the (words) that come out of my mouth wouldcurl your hair." After five days of trial, the parties reached an undisclosed settlement. Another madscientist A Montana State University chemistry professor claimed he was wrongfully accused of beingdrunk at the scene of an accident. While a state trooper found him "highly intoxicated," the professorsaid a chemical explosion in his lab caused him to smell and act drunk.. He said his statement to thetrooper about having consumed a six-pack of beer was merely "incoherent babbling" because of thetrauma of the accident. Don't just stand there/busta move According to the Guinness Book of WorldRecords, 121-year-old Jeanne Calment is the oldest living person whose birth date can be authenticated. ; But that's not the strangest part. On her 121st birthday, Calment released a musical CD entitled"Time's Mistress." This collection of her memories was recorded in several musical styles, one of whichis rap. "I'm afraid of nothing, and I don't complain," she said. "I have only one wrinkle, and I'm sitting onit." Give those grads a hand! A scuffle broke out between a man and a woman at a high schoolgraduation in Seattle. The. woman swung her fist, missed the man, and hit a bystander with her elbow.As the man moved his arm reflexively to protect himself, his hand got "caught" in her mouth, and shesuffered a cut lip as. he tried to remove it. Paying for penguin sex A Cambridge University researcher,who studied penguins' mating habits for five years, reported that some females apparently allow malestrangers to mate with them in exchange for a few nest-building stones, thus providing the first observed instance of non-human prostitution. According to the research, all activity was done behind the backof the female's regular mate. In a few instances, after the sex act, "Johns" gave the females additionalstones as a sort of tip. Get some A 24-year-old woman was charged with battery for allegedly hitting her husband with a plant stand and sending him to the hospital for six stitches. The couple had beenmarried for two months and fought frequently about their sex life, police said. That night, she wasangry that he had retired for the evening after only four sessions. Breasts of steel! Bennie Casson filed a $100,000 lawsuit against PT's Show Club for its negligence in allowing a stripper to "slam" her breastsinto his "neck and head region."

Compiled by Amy VandallStudent initiative keeps air flowing through Vendors' Row By Ernesto Cardenas The Western FrontVendors' Row will remain open, according to the new Viking Union renovation plans. The initiativestudents approved in this spring's ballot is the main reason for the changes, VU Activities Director JackSmith said. The plaza will remain open in front of the Plaza Cashier, which vendors currently occupy, tothe tables outside Plaza Pizza, Healthy choices for any lifestyle Whother you're fixing a quick heat-and-serve mQal, or you're cooking all day. you can find it at the Co-op Foo^CooP 1220 N.

Smith said anawning will most likely cover the area, but it will otherwise remain open. Associated- StudentsPresidentelect Sarah Steves said the initiative addressed other concerns besides keeping the plazaopen. "If we don't connect the bookstore and the rest of the VU, it cuts down on our budget," she said. In order to avoid overshooting the allocated budget for renovations, the open marketplace will save the university about $2 million, Smith said. "At some point, you accept a plan, and then, when itchanges, you accept a new plan," Smith said. "Quite often, there are improvements in the newer plan." The area was previously designed for retail shops and long-term vending booths. Those features willremain in the plan, but moved to new locations, Smith said. "I thought there were fine ideas before/'Steves said. "Then I realized they were fine to me but obviously not fine to a lot of other people."Steves said the initiative gives a lot of leeway to both the VU renovators and the concerns of thestudents. She said the AS Board will continue to clarify the meaning of the initiative. "This year'sboard has really indicated to me and next year's board that this is a binding contract," Steves said. "Ifthe students who voted for the initiative don't feel like we're holding to what they wanted, they'll kick us out of office." The main entrance will no longer be on High Street; this area may include bike racks,Smith said. The new main entrance will be in the interior corner of the plaza, near Creative Juices'current location. A multipurpose room will join the Viking Addition and the Viking. Union, according to the renovation plans. Another expansion will be on the north side of the VU, facing Garden Street,where six floors will be added. The plan was approved by the AS Board on May 13, when it decided thenew renovations were consistent with the initiative's intentions, Smith said. "There are some reallygood ideas in the new VU plan that I was really excited to see," Steves said. Steves said one ideabeing considered is the installation of windows in the plaza eateries that can be opened. "It's niceto be able to see outside, and it still has the idea of continuity between the plaza and the VU, which is something the architects have really worked hard at," Steves said. "It was funny ... People kept callingit a mall, and the architects worked so hard because they hate malls." Steves is the only student on the Steering Committee, which works to provide direction for VU renovation from various user groups, fromstudents and administration to contractors and architects. The committee is also comprised of VicePresident of Business and Financial Affairs George Pierce and Vice President of Student Affairs EileenCoughlin. "The Steering Committee's job is to make sure the drawings are representing the wishes of the university," said Rick Benner, manager of Facilities and Master Planning. Benner said the committeenegotiates contracts for each phase of the renovation process. Phases would include designing, ---------- Western Front - 1998 June 5 - Page 4 ---------- A â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS June 5,1998 Chalk, from page 1 "I would love to go discuss thisto know what they are feeling," Jennifer Bates, junior, said. "By writing this and not having a forum aboutthis, students can make assumptions about what they are saying and make it so it is less valid when itcould be very valid." The messages prompted a discussion between students and administratorsabout diversity Thursday at noon near the fountain, said Kunle Ojikutu, assistant to the president onissues of diversity and assistant vice president of Student Affairs, who was present at the discussion. "In my opinion, that is not the best way to voice a dialogue," Ojikutu said. "The best way is tocommunicate and talk. (Writing) things on the ground, in my personal opinion, is not the best way/'Ojikutu said. "There has to be dialogue among the students. Diversity is not an issue with one individual; diversity is all of us." Ojikutu is currently working with other Western faculty and students, meetingon a regular basis in a pluralism group that is trying to plan discussion topics that will create adialogue with campus community, he said. The committee is an ad-hoc committee arranged byPresident Karen Morse, Ojikutu said. The pluralism group helped bring speakers to campus, such asVictor Lewis and Terrence Robbins, he said. "It will give (students) the opportunity to speak out onissues that are important to them," Ojikutu said. "That is part of the work of the pluralism group â€” tocreate dialogue on campus about diversity." Morse was also present to talk with students in Red Square about issues concerning diversity. "We need to get this out in the open," she said. "That's exactly what a university is about â€” to raise issues." Although Morse said she has little personal involvement with shaping diversity policy herself, she said she asked for a committee, organized by Vice President forStudent Affairs Eileen Coughlin, to examine how Western responds to diversity concerns. "1 asked for acommittee to be set up to address these kinds of issues and bring.in speakers to campus and increaseawareness of the programs we do have at Western," Morse said. Coughlin is also working withOjikutu and other faculty and staff to look at broader issues on campus and arrange planning sessions to work with students this summer. "We are trying to respond to whoever calls," Coughlin said. "What we plan to do is we have series of things to do over the summer where we will do some planning."The committee will look at the issue of how creating dialogue on the campus about issues that mightbe of concern to the community," Coughlin said. "A good example would be the issue raised by themost recent chalking," she said. "We want to look at how this dialogue will occur with an appropriateformat," Coughlin said. "Also, we want to get input from students about a kind of appropriate formatthat will be best to use." "One of the concerns at this point (with the chalking) is, when people speakanonymously, it is hard to interpret their meaning," Coughlin said. "What it is really doing is stimulatinga dialogue, but not closing the loop in communication ... 1 think that we have to discuss things for theimprovement of our community." The Ethnic Student Center plans to form the Students' AllianceAgainst Injustice for the next academic year as a collaborative effort from students representing manydiverse populations, said Ethnic Student Center Activities Director Jo Anderson. lilii: "I think thatawareness about privileges is important â€” white privileges, heterosexual privileges, ability privileges,etc.," Anderson said. "Talking about privilege is not about placing blame; it's about knowing that oursociety does not treat, service, accept everyone in the same way," she said. "To know and own yourown privileges helps you understand other people's issues." Front/Erin Fredrichs Chalk messagescovered the ground from South campus to Red Square on Wednesday.

Rachel Dooley,sophomore: "I think that if we get more people to represent more of what the campus looks like, thenmore people will be heard. Protest is a,good way of letting what you want to say be known, but if youwant something, you should get involved directly, and your view will be heard instead of blaming it onother people." Loren Kelley, freshman: ."You have to look at Washington state itself. I don't know thepopulation statistics, but the majority of Washington state is white, and so you can't really expect it tobe different in a state university.for the cultural diversity.

Planned Parenthood500 Grand Ave., Bellingham 734-9095 1-800-230-7526 By Shane Powell The Western Front A recentedition of the Lummi Nation Squol Quol newspaper featured an article with the words of an 18th centuryIndian warrior superimposed over a picture of Sen. Slade Gorton, R-Wash. Whatcom CountyCouncilwoman Marlene Dawson has displayed concern over the article in a letter addressed to statecongressional officials, saying "Lummi Tribal Leaders may be using their schools as incubators ofracism." Editor of the Squol Quol newspaper Fred Lane, who is responsible for printing the article, said,"Her accusations are very strong words and are a sad attempt to discredit the Lummi Tribe and itscommunity." Lane said the article, called "Wisdomkeeper," was recorded by a white missionary andprinted in Lane's newspaper as a remembrance of past difficulties and current obstacles that havebeen presented to Indians by some white men. The quote begins: "I admit there^are good white men, but they bear no proportion to the bad; the bad must be the strongest, for they rule. They do whatthey please. They enslave those who are not of their color, although created by the same Great Spiritwho created us." "They are not like Indians, who are only enemies while at war and are friends in peace.They will say to an Indian, 'My friend, my brother!' They will take him by the hand, and at the samemoment, destroy him." The article also stated that 96 Indians â€” mostly women and children â€” wereslaughtered by white settlers shortly after the speech was delivered. In response to that aspect of thearticle, Lane said, "There was a time in our country when it was open season on the indigenous peoplesof this land." Carolyn Nielsen of The Bellingham Herald conducted an interview with "Dawson lastFriday, in which Dawson said, "If (tribal leaders) are approving this for the news, it makes you questionand wonder whether they are promoting things like that in the school." She conceded, however, that theargument could be made that this is part of their cultural heritage. Lane responded by saying hisnewspaper is not any more affiliated with the schools than it is with the rest of the community. Morse,from page 1 pensation in addition to a salary is widespread. Many colleges and universities attempt toattract qualified candidates by sweetening presidents' contracts with benefits. Becker defended thispractice for Western and other institutions because of the president's demanding, public job. In Becker'sopinion, Morse should be given a raise. "Karen Morse presides over the biggest employer in WhatcomCounty. It's probably a more difficult and complex job than running a corporation," he said. "She hasmany more constituencies to satisfy," he said. "The university president is expected to be a scholar, butthat's not what the job is; the job is political." Morse,, who is due to receive a bonus this year, refusedto comment about any benefits she received from Western in addition to her salary. The university leases a house for Morse in Bellingham's South Hill neighborhood, which cost-ed Western $31,500 last year.The Western Foundation provides Morse with a 1996 Toyota Avalon to drive. Benefits such as housingand transportation are "almost basic, standard stuff" for any college or university, Becker said. "It's not that it's their house," Becker said. "It may sound glamorous, but, for many presidents, you are "(I am)offended when politicians publicly promote unethical, prejudicial tactics under the guise of servingthe public" Dave Chesson Western student Dawson's letter, written on county council letterhead, isaddressed to Sens. Gorton, Patty Murray, D-Wash., Ben Nighthorse Campbell, R-Golo. and Rep. JackMetcalf, R-Langley. In her letter, Dawson wrote: "Individuals that move to reservations are among themost.multi-culture oriented in any given area. I would hope you could agree that any 'cultural' emphasis of the sort directed in this article is not appropriate and must be dealt with accordingly." Dawsonexpressed concern about the possible creation of "divisiveness" by having the topic of her letteraddressed in The Bellingham Herald. However, Nielsen said she did not think writing to congressionalrepresentatives was divisive. "I see that as different because you don't get the public involved â€” it's more on an individual basis," Dawson said in her interview. County Councilwoman Barbara Brenner statedthat she has not yet seen the article in Squol Quol; however, she said what the Lummi print in theirnewspaper is not county council business. "(Dawson's) private issues in no way belong on countycouncil stationary," Brenner said. "I want to make it a point that what she does on her personal time is her business, but using her county council position to further her private issues is unacceptable."Western student Dave Chesson spoke in defense of the Lummi Tribe before the county council onTuesday. He said he found nothing racist about the article and Dawson's words do not represent thecounty council's or his position. Chesson said that, although he respects politicians with differing views than his own, he is "offended when politicians publicly promote unethical, prejudicial tactics under theguise of serving the public." "It saddens me to think that someone in our county could use such atragedy for their own personal agenda," Chesson said. Lane said he discovered the warrior's speech that was used in the article in a book called Touch the Earth and that it was solely his decision to run it. "The 'Wisdomkeeper' article had the intent of making people remember and learn from the past," Lane said.Although no reference is made to Gorton in the text of the "Wisdomkeeper" article, Lane said "Gortonhas caused more trouble for the Indians than anyone else of our time, and Marlene Dawson is following in his footsteps." practically running a hotel." The president was also assisted in finding employment forher spouse, Joseph Morse, who teaches chemistry at Western and has some administrative duties."It is very common for a president, male or female, to negotiate a job for their spouse," Becker said. "Ifyou want to get good people in good positions, you need to take care of the spouse." Offering bonuses is also a common practice, Becker said, noting a recent report, "The American College President: A1998 Edition," that found the average college president in 1995 was in office for five years or less.Bonuses, known as "golden handcuffs," encourage presidents to stay at universities for at least fiveyears, Becker said. "Washington administrative salaries have been low," Becker said. "Washington,Oregon and Idaho have, for years, been able to peddle the scenery," Becker said. "It's a pleasant placeto live." Before coming to Western, Morse worked at Utah State University from 1968 until 1989 as achemistry professor and provost. Even if Morse originally was attracted to Western because of its setting, the final details of her contract had to be hammered out with Western's Board of Trustees. "InWashington, each board cuts its own deal with the president," Becker said. ---------- Western Front - 1998 June 5 - Page 6 ---------- 6 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT NEWS June 5, 1998 IMMHHMHHHHHI Microsoft could lose holdings ByCorey Lewis The Western Front News analysis Part two of a two-part series When Judge ThomasPenfield Jackson delivers his decision in the Microsoft antitrust case, the ruling will have a far-reaching impact on all large corporations that operate within the United States. "The government's activities(are) certainly going to slow the trend towards these kind of mergers, consolidations and acquisitionsthat result in monopolistic threats," business law professor Dan Warner said. But in addition to having a chilling effect on other corporations growth, what effect would a ruling against Microsoft have onthat company? Most likely, say many economists, the result would be the government establishing an injunction that would require Microsoft to divest itself, or sell off its smaller companies. "(Thegovernment) can order Microsoft to divest itself of some of these different companies. They could alsoorder it to carry on the opening Windows screen the opportunity for consumers to get Netscape justas, for example, the government now says to telephone companies, 'You must allow other phonecompanies to use your lines,'" Warner said. "But I think the likelihood is that they will look at thedivestiture issue most strongly," he added. And the issue of Microsoft's holdings promises to be oneof the central issues in the Justice Department's case. Microsoft has many holdings and seems to beemploying the old business strategy of buying out the competition. This is seen by some anti-trustlawyers as the type of anticompetitive practices that could result in Microsoft being ruled an illegalmonopoly. Microsoft has more than 52 acquisitions, investments and partnerships with differentcompanies and firms in 10 different high-tech areas. Its biggest holdings are in the area of Internet tools,including NetCarta, an up-and-coming webpage design firm. It also has partnerships with largecompanies such as NBC Broadcasting and TCI Cablevision. Microsoft has its fingers in virtually everyarea of new technology. The most recent example of this is Microsoft's $425 million acquisition ofWebTV Networks. It is the maker of the TV set-top boxes that allow consumers to get Internet accesswithout having a home computer. Microsoft had fallen behind in this burgeoning field, and instead ofdeveloping its own technology, they bought the top company in the field. This is precisely the type ofbusiness practice that Microsoft's competitors call predatory. However, according to an April 20 articlein The Seattle Times, the Justice Department reviewed the merger and decided not to offer anychallenge because they said the Internet TV device market is new and susceptible to change. TheTimes also reported that since the acquisition, Microsoft's closest competitor, NetChannel, has nearly gone bankrupt. Whatever decision comes down, the effects will be felt by companies around the world. If Microsoft wins the case,, or is judged a legal monopoly, that will open the door for many largercompanies to peruse as many acquisitions as possible and follow the Microsoft pattern ofsuccess. If they lose, then it could force companies to take long looks at their holdings and comparethem to those of Microsoft. $1 Off ANY ITEM WITH COLLEGE ID, EXCLUDES HAPPY | u LIVE MUSIC" THURSDAY, Â§ FRIDAY Â£ SATURDAY g NICHTS!! g C360) 733-2430 ' FW 733-2592 1313 E.MAPLE â€¢ BEUINGHAM, WA 98225 Have We Got a Summer for You!

Attempt to defineJoules Graves and you may end up with: an immeasurable source of energy. Her only measures arethose utilized in music, and the energy she releases is transformed by voice, guitar and drum. Graves,better known as "Joules" to many, let her drum beats pulse and her mighty voice resonate through theEagles Hall Ballroom on Saturday night in front of more than 200 people. "I love playing inBellingham," Joules announced, beaming her luminous smile at the audience. "Everyone knows how todance and have a good time here." Anyone sitting down in her audience was in a small minority as shepounded through the first set of songs from her 1997 CD, "Plunge." The ballroom's floor was filled withdancers twirling, prancing and purring along. Wildly energetic children were eventually outlasted by theadults. The end of the night revealed exhausted small bodies sprawled sound asleep on the floor. Joules' music, described as "tribal folk," appears to serve as a catharsis not only for herself, but also for heraudience. She requests that people take part in her music in order to assist in the "healing that we andthe earth are so deeply in need of." "They teach us addition and division ... in school, but we have tolearn to teach ourselves to feel our roots that stretch into the earth," Joules said. "The earth can berebuilt â€” strengthened and restored towards balance with our help." Joules explained to the audience that she has had to stick mainly to her vocal and drum songs lately because she has beenexperiencing numbness in her left hand, making it difficult to play guitar. "Any adverse situation alwayspresents lots of gifts, though," Joules said. "The gift tonight is that I get to share many songs with youthat I don't normally sing." For this reason, dancers were given a break more than once while Joulestreated them to powerful vocal solos. Songs like "Sweet Forgiveness" and "Teaching My Heart" letpeople sit and absorb her voice and words. Joules' lyrics are often conscious reminders of our "humblelives as human beings." She calls out verses from wise depths and reveals heartfelt feelings about manysubjects: the ecological devastation of our planet, the senseless abuse of women, homogenizedculture and the ongoing need for self-acceptance and love. She describes herself as a "wild-craftedwaterfall child." "It was so fun being a teenager," Joules said. "I had it all figured out, but as I get older, I see more and more how little I know and what a great mystery it is; it's humbling." Using her djembedrum for background on one of her last songs, Joules rapped out thoughts and sang portions of songsshe said had been going through her head recently. Joules said her song, "I Like You" was recentlychosen as an anthem and she was also nominated for an award at a lesbian music awards ceremony. "I was one of the nominations with k.d. Lang and The Indigo Girls," Joules said. "I had some funadventures and felt very blessed to go and meet all these queer homos and share with another tribe," she said laughingly. Joules is a lesbian and said she's engaged to her current girl friend, who has beenaccompanying and helping her out with gigs. Joules said her next CD won't be released until aboutJanuary of next year. She has 11 performances lined up for the summer. Most are scheduled on theWest Coast. The show nearest to Bellingham will be Seattle at the Fremont Fair on June 20.Front/Shane Powell Joules.shines her love light on Bellingham.

We are dazzled andseduced by the romantic allure of the film industry. The image of a director sitting on a crane, dictating to his crew about how the next scene will play out has become an indelible symbol of power and prestige.Yet few of us actually possess the patience and talent to fulfill this fantasy. Tim Boyd, a sophomore atWestern, is one of those rare individuals who has not only entertained thoughts of making movies, buthas actually tried his hand at it. "I want to reinvent entertainment," Boyd said. Boyd is the minister ofproduction and entertainment at Brothers Vincent Productions, a local video production team. He startedit last year after graduating from high school. The name is derived from the three main characters inBoyd's first production "Casciatto," an Italian gangster comedy-drama. "People really seemed to like it,"Boyd said. "It was very low-tech, but it was something that just kind of came together." With thesuccess of "Casciatto," Boyd made a second film called "Fever," a taut psychological drama revolvingaround one man's slow descent into madness. Although Boyd was able to sell all 80 video copies of"Fever," the critical response was decidedly mixed. "It could have been a lot better," Boyd said. "Thebiggest problem that I am constantly hearing is that the actors â€” though being very talented as they allwere â€” weren't the right age for the story to take place." One of the things about "Fever" that botheredBoyd-was that audiences didn't get caught up in the main character's plight. "If they don't like your maincharacter, you got some problems," Boyd said. Boyd said he is hoping to avoid audience apathy withhis next two productions "Chadwick and Russel" and "Blue Collar Dogma." "Chadwick and Russel" tellsthe story of a bookworm named Chadwick who decides to explore the world. He meets up with Russel,an introvert Boyd describes as someone who "decided to live his life on the wind." During their journeytogether, Chadwick and Russel hook up with a young couple. The husband is a fervent, if amateurish,hunter. The loquacious Chadwick tells him he's got to have confidence in order to be successful.Heeding Chadwick's advice, the husband goes hunting one evening. His midnight jaunt endsdisastrously, though, when he accidentally shoots his wife. The husband flees the scene, and the body is left in the hands of Chadwick and Russell. "It's about the death of romance in America. It's about howcommercialism has killed romance in America," Boyd said. "If s kind of like 'Dumb and Dumber' meets'Moby Dick,'" Boyd said. Boyd is hoping to tighten the script and sell it to someone else. Boyd'senthusiasm for the script was heightened after receiving a glowing review from Perry Mills, the writingteacher in the theater department. "He seemed to think it was really great stuff, which, if you know whohe is, you'll know he doesn't like a lot of stuff," Boyd said. "In fact, he has trouble liking anything." While"Chadwick and Russel" is your basic buddy film with a twist, "Blue Collar Dogma" is a pseudo-documentary focusing on one man's struggle to become a mailman. "Dogma" is the first entry in a four-part series. Boyd said he hopes to start filming "Dogma" this summer. "We're taking normal people innormal instances, and we're getting the audience to really identify with them," Boyd said. Boyd said he wants his films to be mainstream with decidedly quirky overtones. He looks to the genius of suchauteurs as George Lucas and Steven Spielberg to take byzan-tine ideas and simplify them withoutdulling their edges. "I'm constantly scrutinizing everything," Boyd said. "For me, your story and yourtheme are story developed out of your theme, and if s got all the feeling and emotion that you, as anartist, as a writer and as a filmmaker, can put into it. And then, around that, you develop the plot." Boydsaid he is not concerned so much with the plot as he is with the story. "A plot, as far as I'm concerned,is incidental," Boyd said. As a filmmaker, Boyd said he finds the work of Christopher Guestparticularly impressive. He added that he enjoys Guesfs crackling and audacity to turn things up a notch. "Thaf s why they built an amplifier for him that goes to 11," Boyd said. Boyd said he wants people toleave his movies with a spring in their steps and something to think about. "I'm also constantly takingeverything as a big hole, and ifs like ... 'Okay, what did I get out of this as an entire donut/" Boyd said.Front/Jesse Kinsman the root of any picture.

A student from Japan studying atWestern, he speculates on his art, his dancing and his identity ... FRONT: When you came to Western,did you know you wanted to be an artist? SUSHI NAKANO: More or less. F: Do you have any artiststhat you admire? SN: Miles Davis, actually. Painters â€” there are some people, like, these days, RobertMotherwell and Richard Diebenkorn. F: What is it about their artwork that you admire? SN: Well, thevisual aspect of it. I think if s important to study artists before you so you don't have to go through all thethings they went through to figure out what they're up to. If you study them, you kind of have theirknowledge. F: Do you have a favorite medium? SN: Two-dimensional stuff, painting, oil paint and pen-and- ink drawing. F: Do you ever do sculptures? SN: I do. I actually like to carve stuff out of wood. F: Haveyou ever carved anything really huge? SN: No, actually all my sculptures are about (the size of a book).F: What are your aspirations as an artist? SN: I don't know if my degree is going to do anything. With my education here, I hope to make money out of it. You know, after I graduate, I don't know how I'm going to do that, but... F: Are there any particular subjects you address in your art? SN: I think I deal with myidentity a lot because I'm an international student. I don't fit into my own country's society value anymore. I don't think I'm necessarily Americanized, but what am I? You know? Where am I, or where do Ibelong and all that kind of stuff. I do have this background that I was brought up in, in Japanese society, Japanese family values. I do feel more comfortable at home in America, so ... Is being Japanese thatimportant, or what is to be an American? Or what is to be Japanese? Or other silly stuff too. I like â€” Ilove â€” music. I wanted to be a musician, you know. I have a passion for music. F: Do you play anyinstruments? SN: I used to. I used to play trumpet and tried to learn guitar. I played the piano for a longtime, too. F: Can you describe the art scene at Western? SN: I think the art department is really good.The faculty support is really high and, yeah, I mean, the only thing . that's not good is if s too small, Imean budget-wise and space-wise. Well, and some people say we don't have much competition between students â€” they're not competitive, you know. We have critique, and they all say nice things abouteach other, and we don't say, "You suck! No, you suck!" I don't know, I've never taken any art educationany other place, so I don't know how if s like in other places. But, like, even at U Dub â€” they have muchmore space and much more people, so it may be more competitive. I don't know. It may be a goodthing that people are nice to each other. F: I know you've had one showing at the gallery. Is that the only one, or have you had others? SN: I've had a chance to show my drawings in, when was that, '96, in theVU gallery, and a group show. I haven't really had other shows other than putting my paintings in thehallway in the art building. It's pretty fun â€” especially with the group shows. We all get along with eachother. It's like a big party, you know. It gives a lot of artists an oppor- * tunity to show their work. Actually, I'm making an art c (0 E c(0 lt;D (0 (0 lt;D c s LL club, trying to have some sort of supportingability for artists so they can show their art work. F: Whaf s it called? SN: WAG â€” Western Art Group.I'm thinking maybe we can reserve the VU Main Lounge all day. We won't have gallery-quality lighting,but we'll set up our stuff and people can walk through, take a look around. Maybe we'll have somestudents playing live music. F: Is there one particular piece you've spent a long time on? SN: There wasone portrait of my friend I did. I used to work in representational, classical style, and I just wanted to dogood, so I spent a lot of time on it. And she was a pretty girl, so I wanted it near perfect, and I spent a lotof time fixing it. I'm working on more abstract stuff right now, which is time-consuming. You sit in front ofa painting for a couple hours then paint and sit back and think about it for a couple hours, so it takestime. F: What do you like about abstract art? SN: It's more about me rather than me talking aboutsomething else. An abstract painting is about painting itself, rather than a painting of an object, so youcan put more of whajtjsin your gut rather than what's in your brain. F: Do you have a favorite paintingyou've done? SN: Mmm. There's some I kind of like. I don't know; I don't feel attached to my own art toomuch, you know. Well, some drawings, maybe, I feel attached to. But I'm doing Sumi ink drawings rightnow. Ink drawings are really spontaneous. You can't coyer up a mistake or do it over again like oilpainting, so if s more spontaneous. It makes the drawing look really improvisational. I kind of like thatkind of quality because sometimes I'll make a mark I don't mean to, but I happen to like it. F: Is there aparticular setting you work best in? SN: Well, now that I do most of my work in the painting studio in theart building, I like big space, even though usually I occupy only a small part of that space. I like music,but if s not like something I have to have. I like 88.5 KPLU-FM or something like that playing'. F: Whendid you get into swing dancing? SN: Oh boy, when was that? Three years ago. My sophomore year.F: When did you learn to swing dance? SN: Just through Swing Kids. F: What attracted you to swingdancing? SN: Well, I wanted to be a jazz musician, and I got good enough to say I suck, so ... I kindawanted to dance as another form to express the music, and I think I like to dance in general. F: Whatother dancing styles do you enjoy? SN: I really want to learn how to break dance, actually. If there's abreak dance club, then I'd jump into it. F: Do you dance only at the Swing Kids club? SN: My roommateis in a band called New York Jimmy and the Jive Five. They're big in Seattle, so every time I have achance, I go down there. My roommate puts me on the guest list so I don't have to pay a cover. So that'scool. F: Do you have a favorite dancing outfit? SN: I used to wear zoot suits, like wool pants and jacketsand stuff, but it wasn't really an efficient outfit to dance around and get sweaty in, so these days I justwear khaki and a T-shirt. But yeah, I like to look good out there. It's a fun part about swing dance. F: Doyou have any far-fetched dreams? SN: Well, I always say to my friends that if I don't succeed as aprofessional artist, I'll go back to Japan and become a terrorist. I'll overthrow Japanese government orsomething â€” but I don't think it's a dream. More like a sick kind of... I don't know. I always thought I willbe a painter.

The Mudhens, a Seattle-based club team, won the nationalchampionship, beating Philadelphia 38-5 on May 23, defeating Belmont Shore 38-10 on May 24 andcrushing Atlanta 44-10 in the finals on May 25. "We blew them out," said Mudhen fly-half Eaton.Eaton was voted MVP of the tournament by her teammates. She made many assists and calledplays for the team. "It's really rewarding to see the plays I call succeed," Eaton said. â€¢"That happened almost all the time during the tournament." Her level of play in the tournament is even moreimpressive considering she had recently broken her arm. The hard cast was taken off the Wednesdaybefore the tournament, and she played with a soft cast during the tournament. "I was excited to play in the national tournament," Eaton said. "I was thrilled by the level of competition." Eaton, 29, began herrugby career in 1988 as a freshman at Western. "She wasn't very good when she began, but she stuckwith it," women's rugby Advisor Lori Bril-la said. Eaton continued to play with rugby after she leftWestern in 1993. She joined the Mudhens that year after moving to Seattle and has played withthem since. The Mudhens went to the national championships in 1996 and won second place.Eaton was a member of the Grizzlies, a West Coast regional team, from 1995-97 and a developmental player for the national women's rugby team in 1996. Eaton came back to Western this quarter tocomplete her bachelor's degree, but she is ineligible to play for the Flames; she currently plays forthe Mudhens. Liberty and Green said they are in awe of Eaton. "She's my idol," said Liberty, Flamesscrum-half. "She's a real leader out on the field." "I have so much respect for Shauna," said Green,Flames locke. "She's not a big player physically but makes up for it in ball-handling skill and.agility." "Iwas nervous the whole weekend, but when it came time to play, I just didn't care." Molly GreenFlames locke "I was excited to play in the national tournament. I was thrilled by the level ofcompetition." Ana Liberty Flames scrum-half Seniors Liberty and Green played rugby for Western thisseason but changed their rating when the season was over in order to play for the Mudhens in thetournament. "It was an honor to be picked by the Mudhens," Green said. Green played in the last 15minutes of the championship game. "I was nervous the whole weekend, but when it came time to play, I just didn't care," Green said. "I just tried to fill the shoes of the girl I filled in for." "I was proud because(the Mudhens) said I had good form in the game," Green said. Liberty played in the last 10 minutes ofthe championship game. "I was pret'y nervous," Liberty said. "The-thing going through my headwas, 'Okay, Ana, you have 10 minutes to get through. Don't screw up.'" "I made it through the 10minutes and gave a big sigh of relief â€” that's when I realized that I just played in a nationalchampionship game and we won," Liberty said. Eaton said Liberty and Green played well. "Theyhave great basics and are ready for the next level," Eaton said. "They're great players." Liberty, 22,began playing rugby her junior year at Western and just completed her third season on the team.Liberty was elected Rookie of the Year during her first season on the team and co-captain of the teamthe next two seasons. "It's a compliment to be elected (captain) because it's a position of responsibilityand leadership," Liberty said. "It tells me that I was getting the job done and excelling, and myteammates r e c o g n i z e d that." "Ana is versatile," Brilla said. "She's played many keypositions, has good skills and thinks quickly." Green, 23, has played rugby for two-and-a-half yearsfor the University of Montana and one-and- a-half years for Western. Green said playing rugby atWestern has been a great experience. "I have a lot of respect for the Flames' stamina and goodsportsmanship," Green said. "Molly is tenacious," Brilla said. "She never gives up." Brilla said shewill miss Green and Liberty, who will graduate next week. Green and Liberty, along with Flames players Laura White, Maria Mooney and Colleen Kearney, will attend the try-out camp for the national under-23 rugby team at a camp they will be attending June 13. and 14.

National champs honored at Western By SaraMagnuson The Western Front Tossing hard candy and waving blue-and- white pompoms, the womenwho beat Simon Fraser for the national fast-pitch softball title proudly strode from Turf Field to the lawn of Old Main, accompanied by the cheers and whistles of their adoring fans. They , walked, and at timesnearly skipped, through campus; the leaders held a red-and-white banner proclaiming the team to bethe 1998 NAIA National Softball Champions, and two women brought up the rear with a blue-and-whitebanner reading, "Western Washington University 1893." As they passed Arntzen Hall, studentspectators burst into applause and were rewarded with candy, some of which struck a student whofeigned anger before flashing a vivacious smile. An appreciative. crowd packed Red Square, ready for the team to traipse through. A smattering of students and faculty waved royal-blue pieces of paperemblazoned with the words "National Champions." Strains of a fight song filtered through the trees asthe team and trailing fans neared the lawn in front of Old Main. The team bounded onto a stage set up on the walkway, and several of the women fastened the red-and-white banner on poles behind the stage. The women looked out at more than 100 fans gathered on the lawn/and their faces shone with giddiness. The only person missing on stage was Coach Art Phinney, who was absent due to illness. PresidentKaren Morse ascended the stage, stepped behind the podium and spoke about the magnitude of theteam's accomplishment. "This is a wonderful celebration," she said. "It's the first tournament nationalchampionship to come to Western in over 60 years. We're so proud of these women. They beat SimonFraser twice." The crowd punctuated her comment with cheers and whistles. Assistant Coach DickGreen followed Morse, emphasizing the team track record. "(The women) broke 55 school records andtied 18," he said. "This is probably. the hardest working group that we've had since we started four years ago:" The achievements of the team are especially impressive, considering about half of the women arefreshmen, Morse said. We can also expect great things from them next year, she said. With great flair,Morse handed two of the team members the championship ^trophy, which is made of wood andfeatured a sparkling bronze statue of.a softball player. Turning back to the audience, she said shehoped the Board of Trustees will approve a resolution commending the softball team. Green pointed outthat team member Alison Haukaas is a GTE Academic All- American Athlete. "(The victory) is a windowfor us," Morse said. "No matter what we are in â€” athletics or academics. â€” we're going to be thebest." Front/Erin Fredrichs Devon Fliss and Mandy Helzer hold the trophy high.

He allegedly fondled up to 10 youngmen while performing baptisms and weddings. One man has even accused Moorehead of engaging in afour-year mutual fondling relationship with him. While these accusations have led to wild Corey LewisCOMMENTARY speculation about Moorehead and his res ignation as pastor of the church, a newfirestorm of controversy has erupted. The church, in a statement defending Moorehead, has managedto offend the Jewish population of the state with an insensitive, siupid and blatantly racist statement on its website. The statement warned against speculating about the allegations against Moorehead,but did to determine guilt or innocence. This is, of course, what the Jews did to Jesus. Please do not bea purveyor of gossip or hearsay." . , Now what did the church PI t h l S C a S e , If think would be theresult of that statement? A congregation of more than 6,000 would have a lot of gumption to printsomething like that. This, after all, is the same church that has preached intolerance toward gaysand lesbians, as Moorehead has included as part of the church's doctrine. you don't have anythingnice to say, don't say it at all." so in a tactless and tasteless way. It read: "Gossip and hearsay cannever be used Beyond that, using the word "Jew" is terrible. It is an outdated, antiquated word that has gone the way of "colored" or "Negro." Using it in a modern context is absolutely inexcusable. " Itdisplays the same racist insensitivity as referring to a group of African- Americans as "coloreds."Overlake Christian has exemplified the insensitive' and atavistic thinking that plagues the evangelicalChristian movement. Like the old saying goes, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't sayanything at all." In this case, if you don't have anything smart to say, don't say it at all. # # # Toddwiped the sweat from his brow. "Whew!" he said with a sigh of relief. His last midterm was over.

WESTERN FRONT :CLASSIFIEDS SELL! 650-3161 ---------- Western Front - 1998 June 5 - Page 14 ---------- 14 â€¢ THE WESTERN FRONT OPINIONS June 5, 1998 Campus paper, public learning to cooperateWe at The Western Front make every endeavor to serve Western, our community, twice weekly with news and entertainment. Oftentimes our readers do not agree with how we present the information in thenewspaper, as happened two weeks ago with our coverage of Victor Lewis. Several students affiliatedwith the Ethnic Student Center have worked with us in a positive manner, trying to come up withconstructive solutions. We appreciate the concern these and other students have shown and wouldlike to thank those who have made an effort to work with us. We realize that we are not perfect... wenever can be. Locked in' a room in College Hall for too many hours each week, Front editors often seelittle of campus beyond our computer screens. Yet we still try to represent this campus in a fair andaccurate manner. Sometimes our view of what is important can be skewed by the requirements ofjournalistic style, such as the need for a picture on the front page. Sometimes, these considerations takeon more importance than they should. We at the Front appreciate being called on it when we make amistake. We cannot represent this community if we don't know what's going on, what's important andwhat people care about. The only way for us to know this is if you, our readers, tell us. In order for us torepresent Western in an appropriate fashion, we must hear from you, our readers. We may be reached by phone or fax, e-mail or standard mail. Like any campus organization, we are listed in the directory. More importantly, our door is always open to you, our readers. , ; We are students, like any others, here tolearn how to be both journalists and critically thinking adults. Without continual examination of ourmotives and reasons behind what we do, we. aren't really learning. Questions about our coverage arealways welcome because they force us to analyze our actions. j The Western Front, is a class. It hasbeen designed to mirror pro- | fessional newspapexs^h^t weare learning as we go. Oftentimes it is aftermistakes and controversy, such as this, that we, at the Front, do the most learning. We may have madea mistake by putting the stories about Victor Lewis on page six/but we had the best intentions. Thinking it would be good to keep the two usable stories together, the stories were placed on the first interior ad-free page. We are students learning a craft and sometimes misjudge the importance of an event. â€¢ â€¢ Some students were angered by the fact that the stories about Lewis were on page six, and told us.Because they came to speak to us, rather than remaining angry in private, we are making some changes in how we run the paper. More thought is taken when determining the placement of our stories, becauseit is obvious that you, our readers, care about where the stories go. Those who chose not to speak to us, but rather write on Red Square with chalk, were also heard. However, if s difficult to respond toanonymously scrawled chalk. We are working with those who will speak with us for change. Please, inthe future, continue to tell us when you are unhappy with us â€” don't be afraid to speak to us directly.Anger without action is nothing; we all must work together to find constructive solutions to problems. It isthe Front's job to inform and represent Western, and we need to know when we miss the mark. After all,that's the only way we will learn anything. â€” Kristen Paulson, Editor The Western Front Editor KristenT. Paulson; Managing Editor.

We are a diverse group, including white students. Some white students have expressedbewilderment, hurt and anger at the mention of white privilege. Their queries highlight theinadequacies of race, class, gender analyses in Western's curriculum: We feel it is imperative that allstudents examine their responsibilities to consider oppression of all forms, both inside and outside of theclassroom. What does it mean when students and faculty respond with anger and confusion to two orthree days of questioning and dialogue, when other students are forced to be aware of these issues ona daily basis? We feel obligated to address some of the concerns which have only recently been voiced. Anonymity: Some people want the identity of those who did the chalking. This issue shouldn't be aboutwho presented it, but the content and complexity. You already know what we think. If s now moreimportant to explore your own responses and to dialogue with other students and faculty. "This is afestering wound." The majority of students and faculty experience the chalking as a personal attackbecause it is a new concept to them. This wound has been perpetuated and institutionalized overcenturies; it's not at all a new concept if you're on the receiving end. "What's the answer? These thingstake time." Our efforts are not intended as "the" answer, nor is there a single end-all solution. Chalking is merely the medium we've, chosen to present these issues. The answer we hope to see is continued self-examination and engagement with these issues on the parts of students and faculty. "This is not theright forum." What is the right forum? Victor Lewis, an internationally recognized speaker, spoke on ourcampus recently about undoing oppression and described white roles in being allies â€” yet studentsare saying, "Who's -Victor Lewis?" We chose the Red Square chalkings as an avenue to address thewidest student and faculty audience possible. We find it inadequate that such extracurricular forums arethe only major avenue for many students to gain such awareness. Both students and faculty areresponsible for incorporating these issues into their education. We have heard other attempts made totrivialize the chalkings. When a student drew a white-power symbol and wrote, "Race war now," hejustified himself and his friends by saying, "We thought it was . funny." That he chose to laugh aboutrace issues demonstrates his lack of understanding. Another student claimed that oppression isn't anissue at Western because "this isn't the South." One of our additional concerns is with The WesternFront, which has consistently minimized the diverse perspectives that are crucial to fair and accuratereporting. A recent example is that the Front neglected to cover Encuentro: Forging Communities, aregional Native American/Latino youth conference held on Western's campus. We urge The WesternFront and the Journalism Department to continue their internal debates on incorporating race, class andgender into their coverage and curriculum. We would like to extend our thanks to all those who tookthe time to discuss the chalkings and their content. We would also like to thank those who have seen us working and donated several hours of contributions and comments. We apologize to the EthnicStudent Center and students and faculty of color at Western for the unjustified accusations and verbalassaults. We would ask everyone to remember, in the words of bell hooks, "Do not confuse the rage ofthe privilege with the rage of the oppressed. They are not the same." â€” Submitted by Chris Nichols (Awhite male) The Western Front received several letters regarding our coverage of Victor Lewis and theplacement of these stories on the sixth page. Many of these letters criticized the Western Front; two ofthose have been printed in previous editions of the newspaper. Because of space considerations, weare unable to print any more letters here. ^^^^^^^^^^H^^B ---------- Western Front - 1998 June 5 - Page 15 ---------- June 5, 1998 OPINIONS THE WESTERN FRONT â€¢ 15 letters Dear Editor, According to DLC, whenThe Western Front does not have minority speakers headlined on the front page, they suffer from theterrible disease of white privilege. When they run a cover story on Native American Dancers, they aretokenizing minorities. Maybe the Front should print a one-page paper to keep everyone happy. I AMPROUD AND THANKFUL TO BE PRIVILEGED! My father worked hard as a y^\ young man to beaccepted into a fine university that led him into a fine career. In America, education is free foranyone who wants it. I am privileged that my father realized this. I am privileged that my parents haveworked so hard to provide, for my family. I will never forget their examples of HARD WORK. I wasprivileged to receive a free public education where I took the hard classes. I was privileged to waiverequirements such as PE in order to take courses such as physics and computer science. Maybe I didn't work as hard as I could have. Western was not my first school of choice, but I was privileged to beaccepted here. Privilege comes after hard work. These have been my privileges, but I can hardly speakfor other students at Western. Just as DLC can hardly speak for majority white students at WWU. I havenever shared this information or even met with DLC, so how can they tell me anything about myprivileges? This is the kifid of labeling and generalization that perpetuates racism.

XXIX—NO. 35 WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCH POL, BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON Friday, March 21, 1930 r t Normalite JOURNALISM TEACHER FAILURES FINIS AND YE DIARY — RAY CRAFT With this issue of the Viking, Dolly Anderson terminates four quarters spent at the editor of the Northwest Viking. Hers has been a period of achievement, and the new staff will inherit a smooth running newspaper organization, a group of ambitious cubs trained under her leadership, and the traditional Viking position as one of the finest Normal School publications in the United States. Dolly Anderson is the third girl to have served in the editor's chair here. Since the first publication in 1809, the editorial office has been dominated by men. The reason, no doubt, is that many more men than women seek journalism as a profession. This is for those who haven't experienced the thrill of working on a paper: If you want a lot of fun and a lot of experience, sign up for English 3a under Fowler next quarter. You'll like the incomparable "Art" and "Walt" at the printery, and youll learn how, when you get out in the teaching field, to co-operate with the press and sell your community on your pet projects. .———W. S. N. S. BELLINGHAM CHAMBER DROPS FESTIVAL PLANS AT TUESDAY SESSION flf!f|Ps lllll§§ Commenting: last week on "Why Teachers Fail", Glenn Frank, president of Wisconsin University, recites the causes of failure uncovered by Skerman Lettler in . a n exhaustive study several years ago. Mr. Frank declares that these seventeen findings are still t h e main sources of inefficiency in our schoolrooms. The seventeen causes of teacher failure are these: Lack of control over the technique off teaching. Lack of ability to maintain order and discipline. Lack of mastery of subject matter. Lack of intelligence. Lack of effort, initiative, and adaptability. Lack of common sense. Lack of physical energy. Lack of standards of achievement. Lack of ability to carry on and of singleness of purpose. Lack of sympathetic understanding- of pupils. ; Lack of social background. Lack of knowledge of what pupils can dp. Lack of personality.. Lack ef moral standards. Mr. Frank declares that "If every teacher in the nation would check himself or herself against these seventeen causes of failure, in complete honesty of analysis, we might remake our schools within a few years. "Great teachers are great men and great women. We need never expect to have an over-supply of great teachers, therefore, for the race does not throw up a great many great men in any generation. But we must keep up the quest of teachers who bring to their task an informed technique,., accurate., and wide knowledge, intelligence, energy, initiative, adaptability, common sense, high standards of personal morals and professional achievement, singleness of purpose, sympathy, a rich social background, and an inspiring personality. W. S. N. S. And now that we are arriving at the bottom? of our column; our term as Normalite is about over. To use the crude vernacular of the fight , game, we've had some good matches since we got into this racket. We got the decision with the Nurse's office, and they are getting ready to build a men's consultation office. We went to a draw with Men's club reforms, and when we got in there to alter the class cutting system, our foot must have slipped or something, because when we came too the lights were out and the customers had all gone home. So we guess we're a has-been as Normalite, and we climb out between the ropes to let in a,faster, harder hitting youngster who has. a world of stuff up his cuff, and who. ^ bound to get a.big;hand from the ffanis when he goes into action. :0^:^\:'-r^^ • "•••••.';.4.:'. Trustees of the Chamber of Commerce voted Tuesday to abandon the Tulip festival this year. This action was taken on account of the agitation brought forth by many of the business men of the town, in regards to the carnival. The trustees' vote was overwhelming. They made the suggestion that the Tulip festival be held every other year, alternating with a Mount Baker marathon also every , other year. Another factor coming into its abandonment, is the lack of-sup-port being given to it by trie townspeople. To many of the Normal students the abandonment was quite a disappointment. The school was to have figured quite prominently in the Festival. The Queen and two princesses were to have been chosen' from the Normal. The Queen was to have been a Bellingham girl. The Pageant on Battersby field was also in charge of the "Normal by the Sea". President Fisher was co-operating with some of the committees in charge, also. 600STUDENTS HAVE REGISTRATION PLANS FOR NEXT QUARTER 100 of the Number Haven't Paid Fees, But Work for Next Term and Usual Rush Will Be Missing. FOUR CLASSES NOT TO MEET New Students, Old Members and Transfers Will Meet in Rooms 120, 105, and Dean Bever's Office. LUNCHEON IS GIVEN BY UPPER DIVISION College Group Reorganized for the First Time in Many Years; Dick Louis Made President of Class. The Junior-Senior College gave a luncheon for its members and several of the faculty on Thursday, March 13, in Edens Hall clubroom. This group, composed of all upper division students in the school has just reorganized this quarter after being inactive for several years. At present they have a membership of about sixty students. This membership is expected to increase rapidly in the future since the new requirements for longer attendance have been enforced. The officers elected this quarter are Dick Louis, president; Grace Olson, vice-president; Prances Young, secretary, and Eva Catlin, I. C. C. representative. Dr. Irving Miller is the faculty adviser. The luncheon last Thursday was for the purpose of making the members of the organization better acquainted, and to serve as an introduction for future events which will be planned for next quarter. The following program was presented: Vocal solos, Frances Young, accompanied by Margaret Morrison. Piano solos Doris Thompson Short speeches were made by Dr. Miller and Dick Louis. Mr. Lewis welcomed the members and urged good co-operation in all further affairs of the organization. Dr. Miller spoke of the fine possibilities for leadership in school life which this group possesses. Faculty guests at the luncheon included Miss Emma Erickson, Miss j Delie Keeler, Dr. Irving Miller and; Dr. C. C. Upshall. I Six hundred students took advantage of the pre-registration period, which occurred the latter part of this quarter. Of these, five hundred have completely registered, while the remainder have yet to pay their fees. This situation will make registration for the opening day of next quarter, Monday, March 31, a simple process. At this time all classes, with the exception of those noted below, will I meet regularly, and the class cards 'of those completely registered will be in the hands of the instructors from which roll will be taken.

Final Plans for Klipsun Well Under Way, Announces Editor of 1930 Book Work on the Klipsun is progressing rapidly and"-final plan's for organization are almost ^entirely finished, according to Bernice Gnagey, editor of this year's annual. Several innovations are promised and the book will differ in many respects from the 1929 Klipsun. There will be no regular section of campus photographs as has heretofore been the custom but, instead, the division pages will be the background for various campus sketches. These sketches will be worked out in a new water color process which is said to give a clear, smooth, and delicate appearance to the colors. Three shades will be used—blue, yellow, and burnt siena. An evening scene of the entire campus with Sehpme Hill rising above will be pictured on the end sheets in both the front and back. This will relieve the uninteresting appearance of the opening pages. The cover design has not yet, been chosen but the David Maloy Company, of, Chicago, and a Seattle firm are now working on it. The dominant tone in the cover will probably •be blue and the word "Klipsun," as well as the numerals "1930," will be placed on the front instead of on the backbone as was done last year. The border on each page will consist of a small sketch of the main building in a blue shade, with a column of ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 March 21 - Page 2 ---------- ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ V^infeTON e iNorcnwest vu Formerly The Weekly Messenger—Fotmded 1899 lng Published weekly by Students' Association of State Normal School, Bellingham, Wash.

It is with a little sadness that I relinquish the position I have treasured for the past four quarters, but it is a sadness mingled with gladness for with my going comes a new editor, full of new ideas, brimming over with eager intentions—one '' who will doubtless make you anticipate each issue of the Viking. A -iBefore I go, I want to thank Ray, Bobby, Pearl, Barney, Bert, Arnold, Jack, Irene, and those four staffs of reporters with whom I f J have worked, for their faithfulness, eagerness, and their true Viking spirit. To the Viking ship's main sails, Art and Walt, the "corpulent" and lean printers, respectively, and Mr. Fowler, may I express my sincere gratitude. I am glad to have had the opportunity of being associated with three business managers, Barney Chichester, Ben Hamilton, and Gordon Leen, and to them I express my appreciation for the cooperation and kindness they have shown. May I thank the present staff, sincerely, and from the bottom of my heart, for the gift which you presented me last Friday. I felt that I could not thank you enough at our little gathering that night for-—well, I'm feminine and necessarily emotional. To the Northwest Viking readers, I say farewell and introduce you to your new managing editor, Ray Craft. "Step right up, Mr. Craft, take my "doiby"—have a big, black 'seegar'—put your feet up on my desk—look hard-boiled—and go to i t ! " —The EDITOR E D U C A T I O N ' S F U T U RE Dr. Max Mason, president of the Rockefeller Foundation, former president of the University of Chicago and former professor of physics at the University of Wisconsin, has sketched a new picture for future education. The keynote of his predictions was, more physicians and fewer professors in the educational institutions of the future. He states that the professors of the future will let the students do their own learning and have physicians present to see that the students don't study too hard. In his speech at the University of Washington recently, he said, "Students of the future will attend college to obtain certain definite kinds of knowledge to fit them for specific functions in life". "There will be no examinations or quizzes to ascertain whether the student has remembered everything the professor told him to remember -—(A good many of us would have wished for future times this week). "The professor is not a drill master. He should not, like an army sergeant, tell his pupils where to walk and how fast. He ;shpuld inspire their curiosity and hey will learn for hemselves". ^1 S P R I N G H A S S P R U NG In the spring, the young Normal boy's and girls' fancies turn to thoughts of—j—spring vacation. Vacation—after a three-months steady grind interspersed by play-times in form of dances, parties, and entertainments—-is so near. Just a few more hours and for some of us it is, "Home, James"—but for the majority of us it's, "Gotta hurry or I'll miss the southbound freight"!

First grade are playing a game, the Second grade learning a poem, • and the Third grade picking out the correct words to fill into blanks. —o— WE ARE PLAYING THE GAME WITH THE FIRST GRADE. We love these funny little people, with their patched trousers, darned stockings and dirty fingernails—and we wonder why we try constantly to change them. —o— Then we turned around aiid found some one copying some one else's work. They come from queer little homes where queer standards, if any, are the foundation of existence. We have met then- poor, narrow-minded parents, and yet we love these children—love these eyes that are great pools of the soiil, where the rain drops and the sun shines with the changing weather of life. AND WHY SHOULD WE CALL THESE PEOPLE QUEER, JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE PECULIAR TO US? We saw black boughs of the willow tree against the moon. We saw them in morning — in the evening —in summer and in fall. —o— They are Fate—the skeleton of what Life really is—what Life is built on. When We get just a little weary along this rocky highway, we get glimpses of willows against the moon. —o— We saw black branches only today. WE RECEIVED AN INVITATION TO THE VIKING PARTY, AND NO ONE WILL EVER KNOW EXACTLY HOW WE FELT. —o— .And then we said to ourselves: Perhaps we loved those associations because they made us feel important. —o— We had never learned to hate, there in your World of good fellows —and we regret to say that this narrow little world taught us the unruly weeds of hate. AND IT HURTS SO TO HATE! —o— It hurts our pride to hate—and it hurts something away down in our chests that idealists call a heart. —o— Then we fell to wondering if these people who hate so much haven't a hardened callous around their hearts. —o— Or, perhaps they have overlooked those dull, achings of the heart for so many ages that finally the pain and outcrop have been silenced. —o— But we hope hate will never do that much to us. We won't let it! We'll build a wall around our hearts —a wall of sunshine. We'll turn Pollyanna or St. Valentine. Ethics is the biggest problem in leaching, as we see it. if * * Most children have something with which to learn reading, writing and arithmetic— that is, namely, intelligence! gt; gt; * :J But we have found that there are some children who have no standards or ideals on which to base ethical or moral training. It's then that we wonder what to do. * • * * Nothing in our Normal training prepared us for this problem. MABEL NORMAND IS DEAD.

Irish Comedy (W. L.) After two successful performances, the Drama club play "The White-headed Boy" joins the vast and ~^V-^^^ kinJa ser'l0US about much talked of past. Comments , , n auafi„ Makes a have been flying "here and there concerning the event and for a few days the good and bad qualities, personal likes and dislikes, the relative merits of the play, and the work of the actors were topics under discussion. In regard to t h e histrionic ability of the players and the efficiency of the director there has been nothing but praise, yet from various individuals have come dissatisfied remarks referring to the way in which the play ended. This opens the way to discussion. In the first place the play was a comedy and a comedy does not follow convention. To have the "Whiteheaded Boy" thwarted and thrown out on his own, to have each girl's ambition realized, to have Peter placed successfully in business, and to have the fond mother wake up, would probably have been the right and conventional ending so far as the audience was concerned, but there is where the spirit of comedy enters. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1930 March 21 - Page 3 ---------- WASHTNJTTQN STATC N O R l ^ •\!!M^H^!'VJ gt;Mf-y»V!?/'W«iV!i;''\S Helene Madison, pretty acquatic star of the new Washington Athletic club in Seattle,, returns home Saturday from an extended tour of the South where she captured seven world titles and broke five world records in a period of two weeks. The Seattle business men are planning to give her an ovation which will rival Colonel Lindberg's return from his epochal flight. Too much praise cannot be given Miss Madison as her feats outshad-bw those of Wilson, Carrol, Brix, the championship Washington crews, and any others that have made his? tory for the Northwest sport world. * * * * We are wondering why the state doesnt send North Central, the winner of the state basketball championship of Washington, to Chicago to compete for the national title. Prom all indications they would have more than a good chance for the title. If they deserve it, why hot give it to them? we say. The training school enjoyed an excellent season in basketball this year, losing only to Lowell in the finals. Chuck Fisher and Wick Carver were placed on the all-city grade school team. It has been rumored that Ellens-burg will be without a representative in the Spring sports this year, due to the lack of funds in the athletic treasury. We are mighty sorry to hear that 'cause we felt sure we would even things up by winning the baseball, track and tennis championships. A nephew of Miss Anna Ullin is a member of the Centralia High school basketball team that has been playing in the State tournament in Seattle. QUARTERLY BANQUET HELD IN CLUB ROOM Speeches, Introduction of Spring Sports and Announcement at Marionettes Feature Program. The quarterly sports banquet was held last Friday evening in the club room of Eden's hall with Gay Smith as toastmistress. After dinner was served a welcome address was given by Ruth Sammons, president of W A. A.; followed by a short talk by President C. H. Fisher. Winter sport talks were given by their different managers and all-star teams were announced by Miss Margery Horton, who gave out the certificates of star identification. Spring sports, speed ball, baseball, tennis, archery, hiking and swim ming were introduced by Katherin Zeran and announcements of the Marionette show and the informal were made by Marion Marchand. About fifty people were present at the banquet including Miss Orpha McPherson, Miss Lillian George, Miss Ruth Weythman, Miss Margery Horton, President and Mrs. C. H. Fisher, Mr. and Mrs. Herbert C. Ruckmick, and Mr. E. A. Bond. o NORTH CENTRAL WINS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP North Central High, of Spokane, won the Eighth annual State High school basketball touranment, by defeating Walla Walla, 29 to 25, in the final game of the tourney. Sixteen teams competed at Seattle, March 13, 14, 15. The other teams finished as follows: Everett, Ho-quiam, Endicott, Foster, Stadium, and Fair haven. The tourney brought out several good brands of playing', and keen interest was shown by the spectators. It is thought that North Central may be sent back to the National tournament, at Chicago. .. o—:—: Mrs. Margaret Still, a graduate of this school has been assisting in t he extension office during the rush of test week. • _—o — •' FACULTY MEMBERS ON HIKE Five members of the faculty, Dr. Upshall, Dr. Masters, Mr. E.

Pitchers Is Coach Gunn's Biggest Problem for a Real Baseball Team. NO CINCHES FOR BERTHS "If the Vikings had to place a ball club on t he field today, most of the positions would be settled by the toss-up method". So states "Pop" Gunn, who has been putting about 25 aspirants through their paces during the past few weeks. Occie Thorsen has the inside track on first base, Dixon and Bailey look good as outfielders, and Hugh Mc- Clary is showing up well as a backstop. As for the rest of the team, no one knows who will fill the gaps. I n the infield Johnston has. an edge on shortstop, while Eacrett and Iverson are even up at third. Ped-erson, Lindall, and Miller are all out for infield berths and are show* ing good possibilities. Emery and Thompson are out for anything they can get and are liable to bust into the lineup any place. Other infield-ers are Brownlow, Dowell, and Vaughn. Outfielders are less numerous. Besides the lettermen, McCleary, McMeen, and Dave Cole are working for positions. To make things interesting for Thorsen, Hslde, Tew, and Hunnicut are all working for the first sack. Lack of first class pitchers is noticeable on the club. Blankenship and Konopshi are heading the list, with Iverson, Johnston, and Eacrett also taking a turn in the box. One thing is certain.' No one is going to loaf on the job. A hard DROPS LAST GAME Lowell Takes City Championship from Training School in Fast Breaking Game Five to Three. That class of basketball fans that doesn't enjoy a game unless there is scoring and plenty of it, didn't miss anything over at Whatcom last Friday afternoon—but those that love to see a close checking game in which everyone of t he few points are earned, lost a treat by not being there to watch the Normal Training school hoopsters tackle the Lowell grade school casaba-tossers for the city championship. The final score would represent an ideal one for a, baseball game, 5 to 3 in favor of Lowell. Both teams fought hard, and the checking, as t he score indicates, was very close. Each team scored one field goal, the remainder of the points being made via the foul shooting method. The winners had more chances at making free throws, and "there proved- that the victory hinged on the fouls made by t he Normalites. o Pressing a button releases either salt or pepper from a shaker combination that an Indiana man has invented. grind is ahead of the team and only those who want to work will be considered for a position. Anyway, says Gunn, "There is a lot of work to be done before a club can be put on the field. But the will to succeed in there, stronger than ever this year, and.that is what counts. They won't kick our club around this year. Not if we know our baseball. S T A R T I N G S A T U R D AY for only 4 days Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. • Jeannette Loff in TEAMED SIGN DP NEXT QUARTER FOR INTRAMURAL GAMES Aspiring Managers Now Spotting Likely Candidates for Their Teams From Varsity Men. MUCH INTEREST SHOWN "—Four, —five". "All right, next hitter, take five". Coach R. E. (Pop) Gunn grooms his charges out on the Southwest corner of Waldo field. Batting practice, fly chasing, throwing and a little infield practice. Upon being asked to make a statement he said: "We won't take all the lickings. I have never failed yet to put out a good team". While Coach Gunn is looking out for coming material the different clubs and aspiring managers stand on the sidelines, spotting the likely candidates for their intramural teams. At the beginning of next quarter lists will be posted on the bulletin board in the Men's Athletic office, for all clubs and teams who wish to sign up for intramural games. It is expected that there will be about four teams enter the race. The games will be either five or seven-innings, no pitcher will be used for more than four innings and varsity team members will be eligible to play at the discretion of the head coach. In all probability the race will be close competition throughout. 4.,,—», ,. „„ „„ ,„. „„ .„__,0_„,__Bn_14. ,„ mi n» m nu m i — » u — « « — » n — • • £• Spring Vacation Will Seem Dull Without Good Book So Be Sure to Stop in on We Have All the Latest your way home to the Montague-Mc Hugh CIRCULATING LIBRARY "THE PARTY GIRL" - S h e Was a Wow at Making W H O O P E E !

A roati-i riee for grade children at 2:00 p. m., proved interesting and successful to a crowded house. There was a fairly large group of people at t h e evening performance and the players with their clever faces and sharp jointed walk creat ' e d many laughs. The intricacy of the 500 strings used in the play caused much* enthusiasm and ap plause was loud when the stringed cow and dog leaned gradually across the stage. .,. Old Rip, with his low, easygoing voice was master of the.show, al though his dame and daughter had their parts, too. The scene in the mountains with the multi-numbered dwarfs and the keg of snock which Rip drank were effective and the audience was awed with the suddenness of the ghost's appearance on the quietness of the landscape. Characters Displayed Even the audience admitted that Rip must have enjoyed his 20 years sleep, while his return to his home later and t h e meeting of his wife and daughter all were surprizingly real. At t h e end of the show E. A. Searle, himself, came onto the stage, everyone looked around to see if the world was made of dwarfs and giants or were people really natural sized. . There were 21 characters in the show which was made up of two acts and seven scenes. Seven men and women pulled the strings and did the talking for t he characters. There was not a mistake at either of t h e performances in the pulling of t h e strings and the show went through without a mishap. o ' " F A T H E R W I L L I A M" ( U p to Date. Guess Who?)

"In my youth," Mr. Blank replied to the boy, "I Would hardly have thought that it was, Bui now that I'm old I count it a joy To be younger than once thai I Was." "You are old," said the youth, "as I mentioned before, And you re not very big, at that, Yet still you are filled with wisdom and lore; Pray, what is the reason of that?" "In my youth," said the sage, adjusting his specs, " / kept my eyes open and asked Questions enough to have slumped a detec— Now quit poking into my past."

For those who seek beauty and pleasure in height, there will be a trek up Church mountain, and for those who enjoy shopping and sight-seeing, there will be a bus trip to Vancouver, B. Emphasis is placed «n the bus trip to Vancouver because tomorrow is the last Saturday before the ruling goes into effect that a certificate of citizenship will be necessary to get back into the United States. Leaving the Bellingham bus depot at 8:30 a. m., the bus will arrive at the Vancouver station at 10:30. Suggested points of interest within walking distance, such as Chinatown, linen shops, and places to eat, will be provided. All sightseeing "buses in "Vancouver"''leave' from the depot. Because there will be room for only thirty-six people, students were urged to sign the bulletin board early this week. Cost is $1.50 for round trip. But for those who are planning to climb to Kulshan cabin over the Fourth of July, the Church mountain trek is a requirement. The trail starts slightly above Glacier and goes onward and upward along a quiet forest path, and through acres of colorful flowers in an alpine meadow until one sits on top of the world with Mount Baker almost in his lap, according to Miss Ruth Weythman, recreation director. The party will meet on the campus in front of Edens hall at 7:00 a. m. tomorrow morning. A trail lunch and a cup are required, plus stout walking shoes, sun glasses, and a light extra sweater. The deadline for signatures on the bulletin board is 2:00 o'clock this afternoon. Cost of the trip is 75 cents. BOARD APPOINTS CARVER JOINT TRUSTEE Highlighting a short meeting of the Board of Control, Wednesday afternoon, was the appointment of Sam S.; Carver as joint trustee of school property with Dr. E. A.

A worthwhile effort of President Haggard has been realized in bringing this meeting to WWC. We suggest you make this effort worth your while by attending as many of the sessions as possible. It will be your best chance to get acquainted with the prominent educators of the Northwest. • AS A RESULT OF LEGISLATION recently passed, teachers planning to teach in this state in the fall are required to take a Mantoux test for tuberculosis. This action has been praiseworthy and somewhot startling in its outcome. Mantoux tests should not only be limited to teachers in the field but required of students before they enter the training school. Unfortunate, indeed, it would be for a student who had successfully passed four years of college life in preparation for a teaching profession, only to find that he was a carrier of active tuberculosis germs. , Of course, treatment can be had, but it would be much better to find out this information at an earlier time during one's college career. To gather this knowledge at a time when one is about to embark upon a professional career is rather a severe blow. • AFTER A WEEK OF APPREHENSION as to whether the Collegian made itself'clear on its new policy of a more professional basis, we again extend our invitation to teachers and students to write for us about their problems and philosophies. What teaching problems did you solve during the last year? What ones didnt you solve and would like help on? Did you read any good books on teacher aids? What were some of the interesting things about your curriculum? Did your financial set-up hinder your teaching of progressive education? How did you find teacher and public relations in your community? Have you any suggestions to pass along to new teacfiers entering the field? Tell us about them, won't you? • MAY WE ADD OUR CONGRATULATIONS to those already received by the Bellingham Herald for their last Sunday's edition emblematic of "Fifty Years of Progress.' It is a noteworthy achievement showing the forward movement of the cities of Northwest Washington during the last half century. Also outstanding was the history of Western Washington college, written by Eric Phillips, a Collegian staff writer during the last year. • AFTER A YEAR OF CAMPAIGNING back in 1937 to have the sign opposite the College Inn changed from Normal Drive to College Drive, we find, now three years later, that the city fathers have agreed to compromise with the Collegian. The sign now reads: Sehome Hill—Park! 'OurTown' Rocks New York Two seasons ago New York theater audiences went to jsee a show without scenery or properties and kept that show going for a year on Broadway. That production was "Our Town,' which is to be presented by the WWC division of drama for its summer quarter offering, July 11 and 12. In a city of theaters famed for elaborate production standards, this was an unusual event. The thing that held them was the simplicity and beauty of the story itself. Two young people talked to each other from their windows across the alley while the village choir rehearsed down the street and Dr. Gibbs, father of George, read the evening paper downstairs. Three different scenes at the same time would have been practically impos- AMtMCAN / / sible on a stage realistically set with real scenery and furnishings. This novel effect was achieved by having George and Emily on top of step-ladders with Dr. Gibbs at a table to the right of the stage and the choir in the orchestra pit. A daring, expressionistic departure from realism is shown in the third act when Emily, departing from this life in an untimely way, is laid to rest with her family. In the cemetery the dead of the little village sit passively and serenely in rows of chairs while the funeral procession wends its way into the cemetery. There is no attempt at tombstones or weeping willows, yet the audience feels the austerity and simplicity of death and life in rural America of 1904. Technique Classes Learn About Modern Curricula By Lela 'Kaufman Two groups of persons with teaching experience, the T. T. 192 class in curriculum construction in the elementary school and, T. T. 173 class in curriculum construction In the junior high school are working to learn some of the "whys" and hows" of modern curricula. The elementary group of 24 members with Miss Marjorie Dawson formulated certain definite understandings they hoped to attain, then divided into ..committees to work upon these topics. With a few thought - provoking questions raised by Miss Dawson, the class carries on enthusiastic discussion for part of the two-hour daily period. The remaining time is devoted to research work to see what is being done elsewhere. Nine members comprise the junior high group who meet with Miss Elsie Wendllng in her office. Individual conferences, group discussions, reading, studying, and writing fill the two-hour period. Immediate access is thus secured to a large selection of books containing needed material. Each person works with his own particular problem and situation in mind. In both groups a brief historical background is furnished along with considerable study of modern curricula through the United States, such as the Winnetka movement. Some of the educators' catchwords —activity movement, progressive education, integration — are being invested with meaning. Emphasis is placed upon fitting the school to the child rather than the reverse. In short, the aim of both of these advanced classes is not to make a curriculum for some definite setting but to give a clearer idea of all curricular construction. HAGGARD SPEAKS TO SEDRO ROTARIANS With Dr. W. W. Haggard as their main speaker, .the Sedro-Woolley Rotarians entertained with an informal "ladies night" dinner in the city hall last night. Incoming Rotary club presidents and their wives from* Bellingham, Mount Vernon, Anacortes, Oak Harbor and Everett were present. l Newscasters Picked For Summer The Collegian radio studio was the scene of Intense activity last Thursday as some twenty-three students tried their hand at radio announcing. Students read script for over an hour in room 311 while Instructor Victor H. Hoppe and graduate student Leonard Newquist judged in the control room. The winners: Russell Jackson, Francelia Smith, Art Clark, and Shirlee Cratsenberg. Alternates chosen were Jackie Hillis arid Beverly Walker. Victors took the air Thursday evening for the first newscast of the summer season. The permanent rewrite staff was also announced this week. Members are: Irene fyhn, Reda Eaton, Delayne Walton, Shirlee Cratsenberg, Betty Solibakke, Francelia Smith, and Wayne Kotula. The rewrite staff takes the stories off the galleys of the Collegian early Thursday morning and threshes them into shape for the rehearsal at 4:00 o'clock that afternoon. Broadcasts are under the direction of Leonard Newquist and Bill Tiffany, with Dr. Jack Cotton of the speech department and Mrs. Ruth Burnet as faculty advisers. WHITHER TOMORROW By Lorain Montgomery The quotation, "As a man thinketh so is he," is very old. Yet it is one that is still good and usable. If we .want to change a man we begin by working on his thought processes, because that is the thing that precedes the act of a man. That is the foundation for the truth of the quotation. Have you ever heard of any one doing something without thinking? I have. But that is because the thought processes for that particular act were built long, long ago. And did you ever try to change an act that is done without thinking? Where did you begin? You do not go about it in a superficial manner; you go back to the foundation where the act has its roots in the being—to the thought processes. We attempt to discover the original cause of an undesirable thoughtless actact habit, and sometimes we discover a cause that is completely alien to the act itself. The cause may be some unsatisfied desire that finds satisfaction through unusual channels. By satisfying the cause we may in time be able to substitute a desirable for an undesirable act and the habit is said to be broken. Frequently a habit remains long after the original cause has ceased to exist. •• The easiest time to work with a habit is when it is the shortest distance removed from its cause. That is usually in childhood when the thought processes are being built in when the character of the individual is being formed. When then is the most important period of a man's life? It is clear that the thoughts of the past exert an influence on the thought processes of the future. The child is truly "father of the man" and childhood is the most important period. Those who govern and direct this period of growth are "shaping the course of the future man." Consequently, the thoughts of tomorrow's world will be largely determined by the teacher of today, Merrill Likes Children By Lela Kaufman With cheeping Bantie chicks as a background, Miss Anne F. Merrill, kindergarten instructor for the summer, • talked enthusiastically about her avocation. "I'm afraid it's terribly trite to say that my hobby is children, but that's what it is," the blue-eyed quiet-voiced young woman said. "I like to ride horseback. Before I became so busy, that was a hobby but it is nearly impossible to ride in a large city," she stated. Every summer this westem-bred instructor—she is a native of Salt Lake City and a graduate of Stanford—forsakes Pittsburgh where she teaches in the Falk demonstration school to drive to the Pacific coast. "I have driven over most of California, and I love to come up here in the Pacific Northwest,' she declared. "I always spend my summers with my mother. Now we are staying in Dr. Spearin's house which has a lovely view and rose garden." She has vacationed two'years in Seattle and two enjoyable summers in Victoria, which she considers the ideal vacation spot.

That's just what happened last Monday night when a group of our recreationalists were about to spend an evening of singing, salmon, and sunset at The Rocks, a popular campfire site near South Bel-lihgh'am. The aforementioned Mr. S. Lion seems to have lost all sense of direction and planted himself on the sand. What we're getting at is . . . frankly, comrades, the stench was awful. . . . But that didn't stop proceedings . . . no, siree!! Dr. Bond picked up his salmon, seaweed and all and carted it out to the college property at Lakewood where everyone feasted and sniffed sweet sniffs once more. • . Any of you who can spare a few minutes of your time would find it well worth your while to drop in at the recreational headquarters in the Dean of Mens office and chat with genial Chet Ullin. Chet is assisting Miss Weythman with the college recreational activities this summer^ Many of you probably already know of him as a good skier, song leader, and former Viking football luminary, but the accomplishment upon which he prides himself the most is that of being a guide. Chet has not only led numerous hiking parties up Mt. Baker, but also is well acquainted with the trails of the Olympic peninsula. His tales are filled with exciting adventure and what's more they're true . . . I hope. He is a walking Chamber of Commerce for our great Northwest and We should be proud to say that "he is one of us." Hither, thither, and yon . . . We understand through the grapevine that Russ Eyer is planning to come back to school one of these years and win back his pole vault crown. . . . That's swell,- Russ . . . and if there are any more cindersmiths around like you bring 'em around because we can SURE use ' e m . . . . Russ also is co-holder of the conference broad jump record. . . . They say that Captain Mike Baker has the edge in the coming Intramural race with such softball experts as Hurley Boggess, Joe Moses, and Bob Smith in his lineup. . . . We look for Rodland's outfit to be right up there. . . . He's got Steve Turk, Clint McBeath, and Chuck Erickson.. . . Highlight of next week's sports program is the annual softball game with the U. of W. . . . The game is to be played in Seattle, Monday afternoon. . . . The Huskies come here for a return game later on. . . . Joe Medwick or no Joe Medwick, we'll string along with Lippy Leo's Brooklyn Dodgers. . . . They seem to have revived the lost art of "the old college try" . . . Don't say we didn't tell you. . . . So long . . . '' Mountaineers Enjoy Chuckanut Climb With Chet Ullin and Miss Lillian George setting the pace, approximately 106 avid mountaineers from WWC reached the top of Chuckanut ridge last Saturday. Leaving at 3:15 from the PE building, the party was at the top by 6:00 p. m., where they built a fire, prepared coffee, and ate their lunches, For dessert, they had a beautiful sunset, almost made to order, according to those who saw it. One group departed shortly after lunch, led down by Miss George. After sundown, the campfire was heaped high and set ablaze, and over ninety voices, led by Chet Ullin, were joined in singing new songs and having fun in general. Feature of the evening was the vocal efforts of three dogs, Patsy, Dinny, and Penny, inspired by Ullin's attempt to get an echo. Descent down the mountain was made by flashlight... and buglight, with a few brave souls sitting down and sliding on the steepest parts of the trail. Many photographs were taken—Mount Baker was especially clear—and the echo seems to be that the hike was a rousing success.

That both basketball and baseball will be played this summer in intramural sports was the decision made at a meeting of the sports enthusiasts of the college last Monday in the PE building. "* Softball games will be held on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 4:30 p. m. and basketball will be played on Mondays and Wednesdays at the same time. Doublehead-ers will be r un in both sports. Golf enthusiasts who have already entered their names as likely prospects for this summer's golf team are Clint McBeath, Bob Smith, Hardy, Tucker, and Erickson. The latter three were members of this year's WINKO champs. Anyone else interested in playing should see Sam Carver as soon as possible. Teams entered in basketball are Jim Bever's Midgets, Lapinski's Joe- Joes, Methany's Red Heads, Smith's GiantSy and Joe Moses' Moochers. Teams entered in softball are Mike Baker's Arabians, Rodland's Eskimos, Nurmi's Finns, and Weber's Turks. These teams are not . final and anyone wishing to play may see one of the captains and add his name to that team. WWC SOFTBALLERS MEET UNIVERSITY MONDAY Ancient summer rivals will square it off again, when a picked all-star WWC softball team meets the University of Washington Monday afternoon at Seattle. A return game will be held on t he home lot Friday, July 12. The WWC team will be picked from men signed for intramural games. Eleven men are expected to make the trip. No basketball schedule between the two schools has been arranged as yet. The court contests will probably be played during the second term. Enjoy the Summer.

Three things will be featured during the trip—good food, interesting short trips from Kulshan cabin, and t h e summit t r ip lead by C. Appleton (Happy) Fisher. Highlighting the trek will be the excellent photographic opportunities, and t h e acres of alpine flowers now a t the height of their beauty. Summer skis will be taken by some students, for three days of fine skiing. Wednesday, July 3, t h e work crew will hike in to the cabin to cut wood and prepare the place for the group. Thursday, July 4, the main party will leave the P. E. building at 7:00 a. m. in private cars, individuals bringing their own trail lunch for that day. They will reach the cabin Thursday evening. A pack train, led by Mr. Baker, an experienced packer from Colorado, will bring in food and personal dunnage. Miss Ruth Weythman, recreation leader, counsels hikers to limit their amount of dunnage, since each person will have to carry his own dunnage out. There are blankets and accomodations for fifty people at the cabin. Fisher Guides : The party will climb up to the back of Black Buttes on Friday, under Fisher's guidance, which will give them practice in snow work in .both climbing up and sliding down, and will give Fisher an opportunity to study snow conditions on the mountain. Saturday morning, those making the summit climb will- breakfast early and leave the cabin by daylight, led by Fisher and assisted by Chet Ullin. Organized hikes to the glacier or through the meadows will be taken by those remaining at the cabin. A whopping breakfast will be served Sunday morning, with the whole party leaving the cabin about 11:00; for the return trip home. Haggard Signs First person to make an enthusiastic reservation for this trip was Dr. W. W. Haggard, who signed up gt; with Miss Weythman last May. Other faculty members who will be present include Miss Elizabeth Hopper, Miss Ruth Melendy, Miss Virginia Hawke, Herbert Ruckmick, Lyle Brewer, and Miss Weythman. Cost of t h e t r ip is $5.00. People who enjoy the colorful out-of-doors in its highest beauty, campfire companionship, and good hiking are urged to' sign up.

Gay, who is currently managing editor of the Collegian, will edit the weekly paper beginning with next fall quarter. MildredSeelye was also appointed by the Board as business manager for next year. Seelye, who wasassistant business manager of the Collegian, was also appointed to this position for Spring quarter ofthis' year, to replace Loretta Olsen, who withdrew from school. Gay competed against two othercontestants for the position of editor. He is a'Korean vet who has been copy boy arid reporter on theTacoma News-Tribune, and sole reporter on a small paper which came out in Tacoma while the Tribune was on strike. He is Writer editor this quarter, has been co-sports editor and news editor of theCollegian, and was the editor of his high school paper. Because he is an accelerated student, Gaywill hold junior status at the end of fall quarter. Since none of the candidates met the requirements asstated in the Stylebook of the Collegian, they were waived in all cases and the Board's decision wasmade on qualifications for the job alone. Gay is married and expecting a tax deduction next fall.'Hecompeted with Colleen Sullivan and Jim Simon for the editor's position. Seelye is a second quarterfreshman and was assistant business manager and ad solicitor last quarter for the Collegian. Shewill-be married this summer and will return next fall while her future husband is in the service. Board Has Problem: To Cut Budget Despite High Prices Budget slashing is the current problem of variousdepartments of Western Washington College. Most departments are requesting more money'â€¢â€¢ for gt; the gt; 1953-54 school year as compared to 1952. The reason lies in the higher cost of living andthe, rise of prices. Original budget requests submitted to Mark Hardie, ASB president, have alreadybeen cut by the respective departments. However, more cutting is on the agenda. Members of thebudget committee and the! Board of Control met last night to study the tentative budget plan. The Boardof Control will meet to work on the budget at 4 p. m. next Thursday. Hardie said, "It is hoped the-Department of Directors will approve the budget when work on it is complete. We plan to have it ready by the end of spring quarter."

This has been due, chiefly, to the discovery by certaincongressional committees, that a few educators were proyen, or suspected to be, subversive now, orsubversive gt;t one time This has caused near panic on some, campuses in the. country. A case iseven oh record of one educator refusing an invitation of an organization which has been designated by thegovernment as definitely not subversive. r This could be construed as an indictment against education.That it is subversive? No! That it might be losing its intestinal fortitude! Since ancient Greece, educatorshave stood up f lt;fr what they believed. Socrates drank poison rather than recant his beliefs. We do notsay that it is good to have educatprs who might undermine our democratic system We do say, however,the students of Western Washington cpllege, many of whom will be educators, should resolve that fear will not intimidate us. The cradle of democracy and the custodian of free thought and speech in manycountries were the colleges and universities. In the middle ages educators had no guarantee that theycould say what they wished with impunity. By the panic evidenced of late this seems to be what someeducators believe should be the case.' ";' }. ;. But today, it is not his right, it is; not his privilege, it is theeducator's duty to give his views; to say what he thinks is right. In this way will he be serving his countrybest. Education must5 be dynamic. To be static is to retrogress. If educators hYde their candle ofthought under a basket, afraid someone might see a "color" in it, a great deal will be lost, for, aseducation progresses, so will the country.'..-, \ Today's college students are tomorrow's leaders" is acommon thought. But if these students are instructed by persons who are afraid~to lead, afraid to voice their convictions, what will their quality of leadership be?â€”D.

While sleepily crawling into ''the- old jalopy I could see the sun just coming up over the mountains;It. was -then that I began wondering how Homer had ever convinced me to get up so early for Campusday. Well, there was no use .thinking about it then ^-we were on our way to Whatcom Falls park. â€¢The Skit assembly wasn't sched-iried 'til at least after the sun had come up, but Homer said it would bebetter if we went straight to the park before everyone^ got there. So Spies skipped ' t b0 assembly to;get: out to. JheApa*k,Jfcef lt;jre reyerypne , else.

Sam and Al wer^ straggling 'wayv behind .the. rest, because jtheyhad decided, to ;W;alk L . ..; :- ^ The morning slipped by andT it was soon, time for lunch. Lunchâ€”everyone was famished! Like a swarm; of locusts t h e y devoured everything in sight. ' After lunch thegames began, starting naturally with the pie eating contest. "Uncle Harry" made his first appearancesince the day he broke his leg at the Homecoming game, and ate more pies than the entire' faculty.During the faculty-student tug-of^- war, Al and Sam finally arrived on the scene. Every one was soexcited to see them that the tug-of - war was completely forgotten. The crowd cheered the two fellowswho came straggling in. I was cheering especially because both played on our baseball team. At lastthe game started. Roger was first at bat. With power like that we easily won the game. Homer said that I was playing very well, but somebody hit the ball to me and things got all fouled up. It WAS unfair ofGeorge to hit it to meâ€” he KNOWS I can't catch. Ah! Campus day ended happily. The students andfaculty hopped into their cars, trucks, wheelbarrows and other means of transportation, and headedfor home. Sam and Al trudged wearily along Lake-way, and Homer and I pushed the eld buggy down thehill, got it started, and chugged noisily back, to Western. â€¢ WESTERN WASHINGTONCOLLEGIAN f ' H t '' gt;,.*". i[J {" i ?d ' ^ '*) " "Since 1899 Member Intercollegiate Press Entered assecond class matter at the post office at Bellingham by virtue of the act of Match 8, 1879. :": Printed; byCox Brothers,.

The election, fiasco of last quarter isstill fresh in our minds and there are minor violations which go unheede'd by the student body in general. I have run across several of these. It is more than a possibility that myriads of them have gone pastwithout detection. The question that comes to the forefront isâ€”"Why?". It is a dynamic questionwhich demands a positive answer and not merely some "explaining away." Is it due to the ineptitude ofour elected representativesâ€” the Board of Control, the president, the vice president? It is my beliefthat we can contribute some of the guilt to' these representatives. They, are not impeccable. ButTfurther assert-that there is a greater weakness, than mere ineptitude on the part of these officers. Thoseof you familiar with government can see it clearly. We aspire to democratic govern^ ment, yet in ourgovernmental .organization here at Western we have branches of government equivalent to our national legislative and executive branches, but where is that third branch so essential to the balance of power and the continual function of a democratic government â€”the judicial branch? We have no such branch, yet the need is a crying need. A manifest need. The past is not a dead past and will not bury itself. Itwill project itself into the future. To obliterate the occurence of last quarter, and the many unheededviolations, I propose that we take into our hands the tools of state and build that branch we lackhereâ€”the judicial branch. For the sake of a continual functioning democratic government, therequired balance of power, and emulation of the state in which we live, serve, and are, I beseech you to join in a crusade for that missing wheel of governmentâ€”the judicial branch. Sincerely, GEORGE H.COLE. Perhaps the answer lies in the in-maturity of people who make that assumption. Sincerely,JEAN LANDAHL.

This new game was being demonstrated for the first time on- Western'scampus. The game originated in Seattle and several leagues are springing up for wisket players. It isplayed with a baseball and bat but there, the': similarity to the original diamond game ends. Instead ofgloves the fields; use long tennis-like contraptions or wiskets as they are called. The rules are totallydifferent also. The defensive team makes all the points. The whole team, 10 men, bat around and thedefensive-team scores points. A point is obtained when a base is touched 4n gt; front of the runner. Thegame is 'an entirely new idea originating in Seattle. Many main colleges are incorporati n g ^ ;mtheirtPE curriculum: ~~ * . . . - . .

Vikings to Face CPS Loggers^ Icies Over Week-end After playing an easy.schedule in games forseveral times, Western?; swings into a busy week..This afternoon Western takes on the CPS Log?- gers at Battersby field. Tomorrow; the Vikings travel to Seattle to ;meet the University of Washington. NextMonday a practice game will be played With Larson Air Force base. With, the season record justmediocre at best, WWC will be out.to -r-â€”â€”â€” â€” â€”â€”â€”â€”{-take some games to better the searson record. College of Puget Sound; aoes not have a very strong, team, this-year, although it is not apush over. It has played some good ball this season. In the previous meeting with CPS Western tookone close one and dropped another. Western's Vikings should pick up another win tomorrow when theytake on the UW. The University is weak this year, being near the bottom of the standing in its league.It has been beaten several times by teams that Western has beaten. In previous meetings this year,Western has nearly an even record with the Huskies. These two straight games will put a strain on Vik pitchers. It is probable that all chuckers will get a chance. Big Bob Hansen is ready to go again afterthe sore arm he picked up in a game a couple of weeks ago. Next Monday the hot flyers from Larson Air Force base, Moses Lake, invade the Vik's domain for two games. The boys from Larson always putout a good ball team which can give any college team a fight; After Western gets by the busy weekendschedule, it will settle down to a slower pace for the rest of the season. Western Drops Track MeeF To Savages Western Washington dropped its first important track meet to the Eastern WashingtonSavages last Saturday. The meet was held at Cheney on the EWC campus. The Savages racked up84% points to Western's 46% points. Big gun in the attack of EWC was Ron Chadwick who won a totalof five events in the meet. These events were the high jump, broad jump, javelin throw and both thehurdles. Western was a little off and.the main point getters were meeting very stiff competition. The winfor Eastern was its 33rd successive dual meet win. Ken Swalwell, Modris Pederson, and miler JerrySwan picked up a lot of Western's 46% points.

'Straight Line: r HilsRuliinct Although football seems to be far away, on the. little campus,of WWC, many of theJarger-colleges are now concerned with-spring lootball practice. An. extra worry: to -the -coaches now '-. is .the new- substitution rule. This rule makesit quite impossible to use the two platoon system. Viking.,football coach/ Chuck Lappenbusch, was asked- tov comment on. the new rule: and- how it wouldaffect small. colleges,, mainly Western. First he stated.that the small colleges with no springpractices will be handicapped by this new rule, making it necessary for players to *playi both* offenseand defense* He went on gt; to ^ say that underthe modern educational pbil*-* osophy players will have to learn all the offensive parts. This may require longer training tables f or longer -periods -of time.However,- Lappenbusch went on to say,. â€¢ small .colleges using t he Straight- Line defense philosophy will not be .bothered, by the. knowK edge factor and the physical condition must be drilled onpreviously by the- player on his own. Since knowledge and intelligence does not play the sameimportant'part as it did formerly;-the Straight Line teams will be.ready in a week-providingthephysicaliÂ«ondition^ isex-. cellent. Physical condition is not and win not be excellent which will slowdown the game under the new rales; According to Lappy, physical endurance in U.S. society isretrogressing because of the automobiles, the preservatives in, onr foods, ,aadÂ«th,e psychology, ofthe "easy-way-to-win" attitude. "If we are to continue to be the strongest of nations we must-work onimproving the whole human being in our schools andaiot just knowledge, and. intelligence which are now retarded' by circular^ confusion,'' he said. So here we have the views of a very authoritative person,Western's own athletic director, on.the effects and: results of the. new substitution rule. Out of all this itseems that Western -will not^be?bothered lt; lt;as much as some other small schools who do-not usethe Straight Line philosophy. | This week a boy with a very interesting background- was interviewed as sports personality. Modris (Pete) Peterson, Western's star track man; graduated from a Latvian highschool in Europe.. There was no track, at his high school so he ran for the local YMCA team. Therewere a junior and senior team and Pete took' several awards in the junior division. In the junior division he holds the hop, skip, and jump record, high hurdles record, and the 12 pound shot put record. Forwinning the high hurdles he was given an award which he holds aa one of his most prized possessions.He holds three unofficial Latvian records, 220 low hurdles, 220 high hurdles, and the 440 hurdles. Lastfall in Seattle he won a â€¢ cup In -the big northwest meet held therewith so many incidents in his life, Modris had a tough time pieking lt;the: top thrill â€¢ of his- life.: He finally, picked the time when hewon the low^hurdles in the Evergreen conference in 1951. Another of his big lt;- gest thrills came lastweek as Western broke the relay record for the school and won t h e cup.^ Western track will verydecidedly miss good natured Pete when he is graduated. He has been a mainstay on Western's trackand field team for several years. He has won three letters and already has enough points for his big "W"blanket. During his years in track Modris has run the low hurdles; 440 hurdles, 100'yard dash; 220 yarddash, 440 yard dash; broad jump, "and thrown the discus and. shot gt;put. His versatility in sportsshows he is a natural athlete. In his years here he has lost the 440 only twice and the low hurdles nnlythree times. This trait seems to run in the family.

He left Latvia when theRussians* entered because he did hot want to be under Russian dominance. He is majoring in biological science and- teacher education. In Protest It was announced-; by school officials that eight members on: the; staff of EWC's physical education department say they will resign if the athletic director i sretained. The action taken, is against W. B. Reese. All those involved delivered their Qualified letter ofresignation ta the college board of directors meeting held Saturday. At the same time an 84-pagereport having to do with Reese's standing as a student in the graduate school at Eastern waspresented to the board. J. Harold Anderson, .chairman of the board, declined to say if there wasany relation between the two events. - Nearly all the physical education department signed the letter of qualified- resignation. The letter gave no reason-for the action. Included among the faculty membersinvolved was Eastern's head football- coach Abe Poffenroth. Reese made no comment on the incident. / ".- ' â€” â€” O BUSY-SIGNAL The whole world loves a lover, We think they're all divine, But not whenwe discover One on our party linel --Catherine E. Berry.

Durkin, Secretary of Labor for the U. S., has reached Western outlining â€¢ ;varlous jobopportunities for graduating college students. Twelve fields were outlined which need new persons,and which would need college graduates during most of the 195CS. - Secretary Durkin said that there-is a significant shortage of engineers, while the number of engineering graduates has b e e n becomingsmaller. The natural sciences, chemistry, physics, and " the earth sciences, geology, geophysics,meteorology, oceanography, have also jumped sharply in demand for not only experienced people, but also college graduates with just a BA. In describing teaching, Durkin VISION COMFORT DR.INGWERSEN and DR. RITCHIE 207Jfr E. Holly / said that the "demand for elementary schoolteachers is greater for 1953-54 than for 1952-53," while "at the high school level the supply of newlytrained teachers has dropped significantly each year since 1950." The secretary said also that theaverage salary over the United States for all classroom teachers was $3,400. The other fields SecretaryDurkin described as having many openings were as follows: federal civil service, health' professions,business and law^ banking, accounting, and social work.

WWC picked up a lot more points by winning the relay race. The time of this race, broke theschool record' for relay races. Other Western performers piled up points with seconds in some events toget Western a tie for first place. Vik miler, Jerry-: Swan, took second place in the two mile race againstsome tough competition. ' One man entered the meet as an independent and startled many bypicking up more points by himself than several teams entered in the race. This man. was the great trackstar, Reverend Bob Richards.

It was stated that the second chance came after the card.playing had been removed a few months ago when the gameswere being used for' other than recreational purposes. Editor and business manager for the WWCollegian in 1953-54 were elected at the Board meeting. Dave* Gay and Mildred Seelye, respective' ly, were those so designated. (See story page one.) Since no candidates were eligible in the strict sense of theStyle book, the Board moved to waive the requirements in this case so that the positions could be filledfor next year. The letter to the editor appearing in last week's Collegian about book conditions in theStudents' Coop was given heated consideration. A committee composed of Bob Porter, CarolynCrook, Dick Stewart, Howard Critchfield, and one other Student Facilities committee member wasappointed to form policies concerning the ordering and buying back of books. The Board passed amotion to the effect that all Co-op and Lounge personnel who handled food were to be required to take aphysical examination in accordance with the State Board of Health regulations. .The expense forstudents involved will be borne by the Student Lounge fund. A note from Louis Earle, Lounge and Co-opmanager, was read thanking the Board for the ceramic ash try sent to him while he was ill. A requestwas received through the Music department to loan the white dinner jackets for a wedding. The Boardstated that it was not its policy to loan student property for private use. An additional $10 was added tothe $45 appropriated to the Evergreen conference trip to cover expenses, to come from theAdministration budget. It was found that the original $45 did not cover the entire costs. Coach ChuckLappenbusch requested that the Board give him the okay to try to get Willamette UniversitySeptember 26, 1953, for a football game with Western here. He stated that arrangements with UBC andothers would have to be made, but the Board approved the basic plan. Since the regular Board meetingwas scheduled for the afternoon of Campus day, the Board moved to postpone the meeting untilThursday at 4 p. m. Board members were also urged to attend the Budget meeting last night.EarlCompletes Naval School George S. Earl, Seattle, graduated from U. S. Naval school (OCS)Newport, Rhode Island, April 20.

We lay in clouded mood And sang of lofty trees without tops That upheld the edges ofthe sky. As the ponderous notes clamored forth We thumped our feet, and "They remind me of goats,",he said. The notes came bleating forth together As they scattered dotting white over the hill. "Mightygoats they are, pushing stones With their heads, pushing stones and, "^ Rolling mountains to, theedges of the world." We lay in silence and listened to the peaks Crashing in dark stillness. FacultyKeeps Contact Of First-year Tutors An effort on the.part of the faculty of Western Washington College to keep effective contact with all first year teachers is proving successful. The program started with theestablishment of the General Certificate pian in 1951-52. The visitation program became fully establishedin 1952- 53 when essentially all graduates began their teaching with the Provisional General Certificate. 4Â»-â€”-â€”â€” The visits made to t h e graduates of Western Washington college during fall andspring of. 1953 by faculty members had the following purposes: (1) To make possible a first-handstudy of the effectiveness of the teacher education program as reflected in the work of WWC graduates.(2) To stimulate graduates to make a study of their work during this year with, an eye to improvement.

Forty-five faculty members visited a total of 16(5. beginningteachers. However, a total of 476 persons were seen on the twenty-four trips made to sixteen counties.First year teachers are working in school buildings that run the gamut of possible conditions, according to a report just issued. Some are teaching in practically ideal situations, some in buildings that aredescribed as ordinary and average, and some are in buildings considered to be fire traps, barren, smelly, dirty and crowded. More places have inadequate materials than adequate housing. Most availableinstructional supplies are those classified as audio-visual aids. Least available are art materials, textbooks, music, and maps. The enrollment per room ranges from 18 to 52. Some kindergarten teachershave three shifts and as many as 83 children. At least 25 of the WWC teachers have split rooms orcombination grades. The management of children, how to handle delinquent children, and how to keepchildren quiet, were frequently mentioned by beginning teachers from first grade through junior highschool and in both rural and city schools. The use of the Parent-Teacher conference as a means ofreporting to parents was mentioned most often, but requests for help on the whole matter of parent-teacher relationships were listed. Cooperative principals and teachers were named by teachers asthe SHIRTS IN AT 9 OUT AT 4 Complete Laundry and Cleaning Service 205 Prospect Street Phone 66 or 67 chief source of their in-service assistance.

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.

Yea, I thoughtthe other one looked great. No, I wouldn't say Lincolnish, but it did give you sort of an earthy look."How's business with you? "Yea, I read about that in the papers.

Oh, of course, it may be inevitable. Yes, you're absolutely right. No, of course not. Certainly they'll have to see that. You're absolutely right, Uncle Dan. Whatever's fair.

Academic material in the unit is barely a reality. News articles, papers, radio or such is not allowed. In fact, a person's only connection with the outside world,from where I sit, is through letters of friends, pen pals, or family. Thus you arrive at an idea of thecriticalness of my situation. Of course, I am not the only man in this dreadful unit, known as the "rock."There are almost 50 of us being held here. Some are fortunate enough to receive correspondence withrelatives. But we do not have the vaguest idea of what the world is like out there now, because many ofus have been in this situation for quite sometime.

Anyone who is interested inlooking at Amnesty International or doing work for it is invited to the Campus Christian Ministry house 8 p.m. Thursday. Meetings also tend to be on the first Thursday of every month. This letter isspecifically in regard to an incident in Russia involving Amnesty Internationa l Two members inRussia, biologist and human rights activist Sergei Kovalev, and physicist Andrei Tverdokhlebov,have been charged with anti- Soviet activity, although our group is not illegal under the Sovietconstitution. Kovalev, who is a close friend of Nobel Prize winner Andrei Sakharov, has been sentencedto seven years in labor camp and three years in exile. Telegrams protesting the official treatment ofthese two men have been sent by Bellingham group members to Leonid Brezhnev and NikolaiShchelokov, Minister of the Interior. Copies of the telegrams will be sent to Anatoly Dobrynin, USSRambassador in Washington, D.C. Jesus, prayer not enough if you're alone Editor, Western Front:Tony Kroell was a friend of mine in his early 20s. He lived here for two years, part of the time in aChristian "boys' " home for single young men. There were daily prayer meetings, prayers, fasting, etc. .. . but the "home" lacked what Tony needed â€” love. Last February Tony killed himself. 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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Skating at Western angers faculty, police By Kathryn Ellis THE WESTERN FRONT Western students see their campus as a mass of buildings and walkways, but to skateboarders of Bellingham the campus is an untapped frontier. Western's campus provides a location full of what skateboarders call "street skating". Street skating involves rails, walls, steps and anything else the skaters find challenging. "The campus is one of the best places to skateboard," said Zac Zamundio a Bellingham skater. "There are rails there people still haven't done." It is not easy to skateboard at Western. Two groups of people are vehemently opposed to this activity taking place on campus. Jim Vyvyan, a faculty member, in Western's chemistry department, is just one of the many professors that feels skateboarding doesn't have a place at Western. â€¢â€¢"I am really dismayed to see all the damage the skateboarders have done to the campus," said Vyvyan. "All the islands in Haskell plaza have scrapes and gouges," said Vyvyan referring to the area in front of the Biology and Chemistry buildings.

Western students and faculty will have the opportunity to donate blood from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesday though Thursday in the Fairhaven Lounge and at the Blood Center's mini-mobile on the east side of Carver Gym. "The mini-mobile was added because the Fairhaven Lounge is a little more out of the way for most students," said Catharine Vader, blood drive program coordinator for the Prevention and Wellness Center.

NATIONAL NEWS High schoolers forced to participate in drug studies A 15-year-old Oakridge High School (Ore.) student was kicked off her volleyball team for refusing to sign a consent form to join a student-athlete drug testing program. Ginelle Weber said she agrees with drug testing but she does not agree with being forced to participate in the program. Maybe it's more than a tire problem From the beginning of the tire recall, Firestone has been blamed for accidents that killed 101 Americans. A Washington Post analysis of national and Florida crash statistics shows the Ford Explorer has a higher rate of tire-related accidents than other sport-utility vehicles â€” even when the popular SUV is equipped with Goodyear tires. The finding suggests that something about the Explorer may contribute to these accidents. Drug aids morning sickness Bandectin, a drug that aids women suffering from morning sickness may soon be available again. It had been taken from the market due to lawsuits claiming it caused birth defects. Gunshot wounds in United States decrease between 1993-1997 The Justice Department reported yesterday gunshot wounds from various crimes dropped 40 percent between 1993 and 1997. That trend has been attributed to a drop in crack cocaine wars and the focus . on illegal guns by big-city police.

By Greg Woehler THE WESTERN FRONT On Aug. 14, Marguerite "Zite" Hutton, chair of Western's accounting department, was one of two professors nationwide awarded the American Taxation Association/Arthur Andersen Teaching Innovation Award. She received $2,500 for the award, which was presented in Philadelphia at the annual luncheon for the American Accounting Association, the parent group of the ATA. She was recognized for her imaginative methods in teaching Accounting 471, Tax Research and Planning. "It's really a fun class," Hutton. On a teacher evaluation for the class, a student once wrote, 'I've never worked so hard for a class and had so much fun." "That's my all-time favorite evaluation," Hutton said, smiling. She said she attempts to create a "real world environment" for students by having them work in groups on simulated tax cases created by Pricewater- houseCoopers, an international accounting firm. Hutton said each group works on the same case. Hutton chooses the groups of students based on their answers to a 'background questionnaire. She asks questions about the courses each student has already taken and their work experiences. These questions help Hutton make sure each group has members with a variety of experiences and interests. Though each group works on the same case, Hutton said she never receives "carbon copy answers." "They are each trying to find the best solution to the particular problems, but arrive at answers in radically different Angela D. Smith/vThe Western Front ways," she said. Collaboration is important in the class, not only among the four individuals in each group, but also among different groups. Hutton said she doesn't grade on a curve, which takes away the potential competition among groups. Before the groups turn in their project to Hutton, students must submit their work for peer reviews. Other class members critique the work, but only if they can offer solutions to the problems they find. Both parts of the review process are done anonymously, meaning only the individual's work is being criticized, not the individual. Professors around the country are using Hutton's technique, including one colleague at Old Dominion University. Hutton has been an associate professor at Western since 1989. She said the ATA notified her in May that she had won the award but it wasn't announced to other members of the association until the luncheon. / Opening Night 1ST NIGHT Saturday, October 14th â€¢ 7:00 pm How Near the End Are We?

The yearly educational program is designed to inform participants about the signs and symptoms of depression and to help them decide if they would benefit from a more complete mental evaluation. The two-hour screening sessions began with a short lecture about symptoms and treatments of depression. After a question-and-answer period, individuals were given the opportunity to discuss the results of a self- evaluation with a mental health professional and receive referral information for further evaluation if needed. "We put signs around the community in hopes that anybody who thinks they have depressive symptoms, or has a friend who might have depressive symptoms, would come on in," Sharon Chandler, a nurse on the mental health unit at St. Joseph, said. "Depression is a very common illness," said Dr. Hank Levine, a psychiatrist from Bellevue who spoke at one of the two screenings. "Clinical depression affects 17 million people in this country each year," Levine said. "Only about half of those people seek treatment. The rest suffer in silence." "Unfortunately, the screening doesn't come at a good time for Western students because it's right when school is starting back up," Chandler said. "We've been talking about holding a screening on campus, possibly this month," she said. Chandler said she was surprised at the low turnout this year.. In past years, up to 40 people showed up for the screening sessions. This year, only about 20 people showed up for screening. "I was hoping to see more students from the university," sai Jessica Richter, a mental health specialist at St. Joseph's and Western graduate. "Depression is so prevalent," Chandler said. "But people are busy, and there's a lot of denial where people just think, 'This is the way I am, this is the way life is. I'm not depressed, I'll snap out of it."' Treatment options, such as antidepressants and psychotherapy, offer hope for those suffering from depression, Levine said. ATUS fixes computer problem, helps students Western Republicans set to act From GOP, Page 1 "I come from a house full of democrats," Goff said. "There are only two Republicans in my family. I don't know how that happened." Goff said his organization's main concern right now is the election. The club plans to set up information tables and put up stickers and posters around campus treasurer A.J. Strauss said. "After the elections are over, we'll figure out what to do next," Goff said. Two guests at the group's Wednesday meeting, Eugene Goldsmith and his wife Yvonne spoke about their involvement in the election. Eugene Goldsmith, former State Representative for the 42nd District, said education is a priority on this year's agenda. "This college, for the money, is the biggest bang you're going to get for your buck," Eugene Goldsmith said. Whatcom Community College student Mary Eckhoff asked Eugene Goldsmith what he thought about free college for students. Eugene Goldsmith said he did not favor the idea. "If it's free, how much emphasis would we put on it?" he said. Yvonne Goldsmith, former mayor of Ferndale, voiced her disapproval of the presidential debate and of the adversary, Al Gore. She recounted her frustration while listening to the debate on the radio. "I'm sitting in the car listening to the debate and I turn to Gene and say T'm glad you turned that off because I'm about to rip it out,'" she said. "If we do not win this election, as far as I'm concerned, it's gonna be hell for the next 40 years," Yvonne said. "College Students: earn $30- $40/hrpart time!

From ATUS, Page 1 appear to have been resolved, ATUS Director Dr. Larry Gilbert said. The login delays ranged from five seconds to 10 minutes, he said. Despite the massive delays and locked programs, the ATUS Help Desk has seen its smoothest quarter in manager Mike Massey's five years in the office, he said. "Lines are shorter and moving faster than ever," Massey said. He said the reason is higher efficiency at the help desk, rather than fewer calls for assistance. Last year the help desk recorded 3,500 contacts in September and 4,700 in October. Though all the numbers haven't been pulled together yet, the desk is looking at the same number of calls' or more in both months this year, Massey said. The source of this quarter's problem was the Novell Applications Launcher program. For an unknown reason, it conflicted with other programs, Gilbert said. Once the Novell Applications Launcher was isolated as the source of the problem, ATUS relocated it on the server, apparently resolving the conflict, he said. The aplication launcher provides students access to resources all across campus, Gilbert said. ATUS isolated the program as the source of difficulties by removing it from the system and checking to see if the delays and other problems subsided. Though everything has been running smoothly since Wednesday's modifications, ATUS continues to monitor the situation. ATUS is runs management software that regularly reports network status . in order to assure the problem does not persist and no new ones arise, Gilbert said.

Western consortium looks at apparel labor standards By Hollie Joy Brown THE WESTERN FRONT Western may join the Workers Rights Consortium, a group created in 1999 out of a student anti-sweatshop movement to monitor working conditions in factories producing apparel products Linda Beckman, division director of budget and administration, said.. Last spring, Western's Task Force on Workers Rights was looking into changing Western's membership from the Fair Labor Association to the WRC, Beckman said. Beckman will be forming a study group this fall to discuss it again, she said. Western could join the WRC, Beckman said, but it is an institutional decision. "The FLA has the same goals of the WRC." she said. The differences between the FLA and the WRC are the type of members each holds and how monitoring is done, Beckman said. The FLA allows corporations to be members whereas the WRC tries to exclude them, Beckman said. Monitoring and inspections could be done differently, she said. Originally, the students of the task force wanted to join WRC because they didn't want to be a member of an organization that had corporations as members, Beckman said. After comparing the two organizations, the task force decided the FLA would be more effective, Beckman said.

"The goal of AUAP is to broaden an international perspective of Asia University students," said Bill Pech, Director of Asia University -America Program Center for International Studies and Programs. "Western also benefits greatly from this program because it has enabled us to internationalize the student population," Pech said. "AUAP students have been significant presents from Japan." AUAP students usually live with American roommates in on-campus housing. Japanese students have had little experience with roommates in Japan, but AUAP student Maki Sakamoto said she gets along with her American roommate very well. AUAP students receive help from a group of Western students called Peer Advisors. "I like this job because I get paid making friends," said Lend Neumainer, AUAP Peer Advisor. Neumainer said she spends 19 hours per week with her nine AUAP students. Yuko Naito and Taro Teshigawara enjoy lunch at the Viking Commons. The Asia University America Program students said they have started to grow tired of American cuisine. She said the goal for students is to make American friends, to learn about American life and to have a good experience. Neumainer meets every Monday with her students. They play some games to get to know each other and speak English. Neumainer said she plans to take her students to Seattle and Canada. She also said she hopes to help them take part in some American activities, such as shooting firearms and snow sports. "I think this program is very good," AUAP student Hitomi Nishiyama said. "Sometimes it is too good. We might be spoiled because we can rely on our advi-sor. Nishiyama said she should do more things by herself to learn English. She said she applied to this program not only to have an experience, but also to improve her English. Pech said Nishiyama's anxiety is common, but the program tries to minimize it. "The program offers students a lot of support, but the program also challenges students to try things by themselves." Pech said. "Students' attitudes are totally changed in the end of program," said Heather Johnson, who works in student services. Daniel J. Peters/ The Western Front "They become independent and their fear is definitely redueed." Pech said the program also tries to create more opportunities for AUAP students to interact with Americans. "Our goal is to make the curriculum here, to give students opportunities students can't have in Japan," Pech said. "We hope the curriculum creates many opportunities as possible for interaction." Western students requested to donate blood, help relieve crisis From BLOOD, Page 1 out to hospitals as it "is ordered. "In the Puget Sound, there is a need for 800 pints of blood a day," Dentel said. Western typically receives around 400 pints of blood during the three-day blood drive. The goal for this blood drive is 370 pints, according to Dentel. The goal is based on last year's spring blood drive, when the Blood Center received 311 pints of blood. Donors are asked to arrive in early in the day to avoid the afternoon rush. The blood draw lasts seven minutes, but donors must also go though a health screening. The process takes about one hour. "If they want to ,have a good experience, the most important thing is that they don't', drink caffeinated beverages," Dentel said. "The rcaffeine will constrict their blood vessels ... also they need to eat something." According to the Food and Drug Administration, which regulates blood banks, donors also must be at least 18 years old, healthy and weigh at least 110 pounds. "Seventy percent of people will need blood or a blood product sometime in their lifetime," Vader said. Currently the Puget Sound Blood Center is running near emergency levels on two blood types, and needs all other types as well. "We should donate all year long, not just during the holiday season," Vader said: Western's Prevention and Wellness Center reports that each pint of blood donated can save the lives of three people. "Each pint is broken into three components of plasma, platelets and red blood cells," Vader said. "Patients only receive the blood component they require for treatments such as cancer therapy, surgery or trauma injuries." . - . Vader said she feels that if a person wants to give back to the community, donating blood is a wonderful way to do it.

He endured the usual ups and downs of child rearing and the hardship of raising girls in what he considers today's media-driven misogynistic culture. But Kelly did not sit at home crossing his fingers, hoping the messages encouraging girls to strive for superhuman ideals somehow would pass his daughters by. Instead, his objective is to ensure those messages are condemned. Kelly is the executive director of Dads and Daughters, a national non profit advocacy group dedicated to strengthening the bonds between dads and their daughters and dispelling the myths of the female ideal they say millions of women believe and die from everyday. The recent death of Kelly's Dads and Daughters co-worker Heather Henderson, at the age of 27 brought to light the reality of how deadly these concerns are. Henderson battled bulimia for 11 years before suffering a fatal heart attack due to complications from her disease. "I'm sad, but I'm also very angry," Kelly said. "Her life and her death are an incredible indictment of what our culture does to girls." Individuals must confront the media and take responsibility for the lies shaping girls, Kelly said. "The culprit is this culture," he said. "When I indict the culture, I indict myself. Silence is not an option." Kelly used several teen magazine advertisements to illustrate his point. An ad for a padded bra, depicting a tanned woman with bulging breasts, read "Inner beauty only goes so far." The image served as the anti-slogan of his speech. "I show this ad is because it's emblematic," Kelly said. It kind of crystallizes all the messages that rain down hundreds of. times a day." Girls are not the only ones being deceived, Kelly said, adding boys also are misled by the rail- thin, poreless images of women they are bombarded with daily. He told the story of a boy who, when breaking up with his girlfriend, gave the reason that she was only a seven or an eight and his dating standard was a 10. "He may spend the rest of his life seeking something that is impossible to find," Kelly said, "and he's denying himself his true purpose in life, which is to connect spiritually to another human being." Men's magazines increasingly follow the lead of women's, to the detriment of young boys, Kelly said. Men's Health, which he added has little to do with health and reads more like a male version of Seventeen, creates unattainable physical standards for young men. "How we look is overwhelmingly determined by our genetics. There is no ideal weight. That's baloney." Kelly said. Kelly said men who care about women are important because fathers "set the norm." He said he feels it is particularly important to daughters because they look to see if Dad reinforces the statement "inner beauty only goes so far." Candy Wiggum, a psychologist at Western's Counseling Center, has studied the impact fathers have on the emotional well-being of their daughters. "I think dads play a really important part in their daughters' development, as far as feeling respected and respectable, " she said. Sheila Havens accompanied her father, Steve, to the workshop at the Brigid Collins House. 'T thought it was really good to hear, and exciting to hear a father talk about things I've only heard women talk about," Havens said. Kelly will speak at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 11 at St. Luke's Community Health Center. Pre-registration for this free workshop is required, so call (360) 738-6701 to attend, or for more information call the counseling center at (360) 650-3164.

Another reads, "we want a skatable park." The Bellingham Skate Park opened about three weeks ago, giving skaters a long awaited place to skateboard and rollerblade. Many, however, are unsatisfied with the park's features. Jason Snow, co- owner of Alliance Skateboard Snowboard Shop, said he is displeased with the park's design. Snow said he feels the design is not up to par, because he believes it isn't modern enough. "A lot of the park is not skatable," Snow said. "The walls are too steep to do anything on. It's just wasted space." Snow said the majority of the complaints he has heard about the park come from the youth who use it. 'It's like needing a pair of pants, and your mom goes and buys you some from Kmart, and then makes you wear them," Snow said. "The whole point is that the kids should get what they really want." Park visitor Greg Keefe, 18, said he likes the park, but the transitions between elements in the design need to be smoother. 'It's like needing a pair of pants, and yow worn^oe a^bAty ypu some from 'Kmartt'tin ihert'fndkes you wear them.' Jason Show Co-owner of Alliance'' Keefe said he also thinks a partial roof should cover some of the park when it rains. Snow said he also was disappointed there wasn't much room for suggestion. "By the time they had the community meetings, everything was already done and I couldn't attempt to input anything," Snow said. Jonathan Schilk, Bellingham Parks and Recreation's landscape architect, said that when Parks and Recreation held meetings at the park site, skaters in the community requested the removal of some of the park's features, and Parks and Recreation obliged. "There were supposed to be a volcano, loveseat, stairway and inclined rail, which Takuya Waters/The Western Front Jason Bas rocks to fakie on the spinewall. were all taken out at the request of the skaters," Schilk said. Schilk said he thinks Parks and Recreation did the best they could considering the rules and guidelines they had to stay within. State law required Parks and Recreation to accept the lowest bid from a contractor willing to build the park. The lowest offer came from Colacurcio Brothers Construction Company, Inc., of Blaine. The park, was designed by Pukiss-Rose, R.S.I. of Pullerton, CaL, who hired a professional skater on staff to assist with the designing process. Schilk said the park's construction budget was $270,000; $18,000 coming from donations and the rest from taxes. Since so much funding came from taxpayer pockets, Schilk said the city had an obligation to.keep costs down/This, he said,_ is why not all of the suggested changes to the park's design were made. "When you make a set of plans and then change it, you're hit with additional costs by the contractors," Schilk said. "We were caught in a difficult spot." Both Schilk and Marvin Harris, Bellingham Parks and Recreation's interim- park director, said they think the park is a success. â€¢ "It's impossible to please everyone," Schilk added. "We were able to please most people, and if we do "that,then:.'we're successful." . *;..'â€¢' .'" "V'..-'":â€¢ ,-v';' /sy-jSi^ -Field does the trash pickup,~ there hasn't been much problem with keeping the park clean. ' . Harris said he feels -Parks and Recreation's main problem is the graffiti now covering much of the park. "We are going to install a water line in the park so we can continue to remove graffiti as it occurs," Harris said. A few of the skaters disapprove of some of the graffiti. Devin Kain, 17, thinks some of the complaints written about the park and its design are "lame." Kain also appreciates some of the park's graffiti. " T h e more artistic graffiti is cool, and makes it easier to see the ground and make the landings. It also makes it more of a hometown skate park," he said. Besides comments about the park's design, Kain and Keefe think a few additions should be made to the park, such as a portable toilet, a pop machine and lights so they can continue to skate at night. \ The park is open from 8 a.m. to dusk, which in winter will come as early as 4 p.m. Kain foresees the shorter hours as a problem with crowding, since the time between the school day ending and the park closing will be shortened to a couple of hours. Harris said Parks and Recreation doesn't have any events scheduled yet, but is willing to work with skate shops to set up competitions. Snow said he plans on arranging a competition or contest after the locals have a chance to get used to the park, but would like to see Parks anil Recreation plan something. "The major concern, however, is that the park stay open for the general public," Harris said. Though the skaters and Parks and Recreation officials don't see eye-to-eye on many things, both agreed the most important thing is the park's existence. "It's not the most ideal design, but its there," Snow said. "We have a place to skate and that's what's important."

Fuel for the i Viking 29 showcases TPV power generation Jennifer Collins THE WESTERN FRONT Hollywood generally depicts futuristic cars as flying, supercharged versions of today's vehicles. . As founder and director of Western's Vehicle Research Institute, Michael R. Seal has overseen the design and production of the "cars of the future" for the last three decades. Aside from their sleek, sports-car design and technical titles, the cars differ entirely from the Hollywood recipe. None of his cars fly. Well, at least not yet. One of the VRI's latest creations, the Viking 29, will be featured in the Whatcom County Museum's "Up to Speed: A Century of Cars" exhibit. It will be on display until Jan. 21 in the Arco Building on Prospect Street, Western's made-from- scratch classic of the future is the finale of an exhibit dedicated to the classics of the past. The Viking 29's glossy green Fiberglas body reflects striking accent lights and appears poised and ready to start its engine. "It looks like a sports car and drives like one too," Seal said with a chuckle, as he discussed the numerous innovative* vehicles designed by the VRI on Sunday at the Whatcom Museum. Described by the Society of Automotive Engineers as "one of the. 10 best faculty advisors in the nation," Seal earned his masters in education from Western in 1967. He went on to earn his doctorate in education from Texas A M in 1970. A self-proclaimed car enthusiast, Don Athens described the Viking 29 as a "work of art." Automobile engineers and enthusiasts alike questioned Seal on the Viking 29's intricate workings.

Members of CONTACT (The Center for Ontological Action) disagree. Matthew Thuney, director of CONTACT, explained humans are indeed in contact with beings from beyond the normal realm of experience. Some members of the organization attest to their own personal encounters. CONTACT was formerly known as the Bellingham UFO .Croup. Members study phenomena such as near-death experiences, UFO and Sasquatch sightings and psychic incidents. Since ontology is the study of the essence of being, CONTACT studies the way these phenomena affect people. "There are really two groups of people," Thuney said. "One looks at evidence and data, and the other looks at the importance of the data to us as humans." He said CONTACT studies both, but focuses more on the latter. 'It's not good science to say somethings not happening simply because it can't happen.â€¢'â€¢ Matthew Thuney Â£ Bigfoot Believer CONTACT also has an anonymous fiencid sightings- r " ,â€¢ -: â€¢- Stephen Harvey, director of the Vancouver Sasquatch Society in Canada, : spoke about his work Saturday at Western's Library. Harvey organizes the annual Sasquatch Symposium, where experts and eyewitnesses gather to share their information and experiences. During Harvey's presentation, a few eyewitnesses shared their experiences and Bigfoot sightings. Jason Valenti recalled his June 1996 sighting in Apalachicola National Forest, just outside of Tallahassee, Fla. Valenti said he had been studying to become a minister in Florida, but after his sighting, he could no longer be a Christian. "It totally shattered my whole belief system," Valenti said. Valenti said he and a friend were in his car when the sighting occurred, and at one point his car was within four feet of a blonde, female sasquatch. He said he was sure the bigfoot was a female, because it "had breasts that hung down to her waist," along with "typical feminine wide hips" and an "hourglass figure.'' Valenti said a week after the Sasquatch sighting, his friend saw a UFO and believes the two events were connected. Yvonne Moore spoke about her encounters with a sasquatch by the name of Orvin. She said her encounters were paranormal. Moore said she contacts, sasquatches in other realms and has not yet seen one in this (the third) dimension. She said Orvin told her sasquatches exist mainly in the fifth and sixth dimensions, and can dematerialize from the third dimension into another. Orvin also told her sasquatches dematerialize when they die, which is why no bones have yet been discovered on Earth. Moore said she has two high-energy vortexes in her back yard where she and Orvin communicate. "Sasquatches are working in the yal-leyB'fbrt^ said. 'They're trying to put energy back into the soil." The group discussed other paranormal possibilities with sasquatches, such as astral traveling and communication on a psychic plane. One woman suggested Sasquatches have higher vibrations and are still there, but are not visible. Harvey said many people who have had encounters explain a type of mental telepathy between the bigfoot and the individual. Both Harvey and Thuney said they think people need to look beyond the sphere of reality, accept the physical evidence that has been found and believe in eyewitness testimony. "It's not good science to say something's not happening simply because it can't happen," Thuney said. "It doesn't do us a lot of good to exist in denial." At the Sasquatch Symposiums, experts and eyewitnesses from various regions bring testimony and paraphernalia, such as photographs, molded footprint castings and occasional hair samples. In 2001, the Sasquatch Symposium will take place in Bellingham in two different sessions. The first, in late September, will cover the biological evidence found in bigfoot research. The second, in early November, will emphasize the paranormal. Harvey encourages anyone who is interested to attend.

Departments of Energy P began funding the L development of the 1994, with two grants 5.4 million. The money is year and the VRI is another grant from the _ of Energy. Without W grants, the institute will not be able to continue its work, Seal said. Despite the strong emphasis on research, Seal said his primary goal for the VRI remains "to train students" in the automotive industry. After all, he said, his students originally proposed the idea of building ah experimental car in 1971. The result of his students' ambition and persistence was Viking 1, which placed third in a car design competition at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Michigan in 1972. With that event and the many that followed, the VRI repeatedly proved itself to be on the cutting edge of experimental car design. Innumerable awards, - company contracts, and grants later, the institute remains at the head of the pack, drawing students from all over the world to study on Western's campus. In addition to their regular course work, students are now working on four projects for automotive competitions this school year, , Seal said. Former student, Ed West came back to the VRI to teach automotive design while he works on his master's degree at the University of Washington. Because of the "hands-on aspect of education" at the VRI, West said he feels, "students get a running start in the industry." Student Jai Prasad was attracted to the VRI because of the large variety of equipment in the research lab. "I know of Boeing or GE employees who have come to our shop and who said they only have one of the machines we have," said Prasad. Mario Treit, owner of the Portland, Or. based General Aviation Services, plans to break the world record for land speed. He tested car bodies in the VRI's wind tunnel to discover the most suitable to achieve his goal of 550 miles per hour next year at a competition at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. At such high speeds, Treit said his main concern for the vehicle is that it doesn't lift off the ground. Ironically, Treit said his goal for his car of the future is that it doesn't fly. "Every bit of information we gather here is information we wouldn't have without Dr. Seal's facility," Treit said. Many students who study at the VRI originally want to design cars that will reach higher speeds, Seal said. His goal, he said, is to make students concerned about cars' environmental effects, and design cars that will have cleaner emissions or use alternative forms of fuel.

With the victory, the Vikings improved their record to 5-1. \ "We knew we were better Scott Mitchell hits Sean Ryan for a touchdown. than these guys both physically and mentally on the field, and we showed that today," quarterback Scott Mitchell said. Western's first drive ended when the Mustangs recovered a Giorgio Usai fumbled. Western's defense came up big as Lance Gustafson sacked the Mustangs' quarterback Coby Crouch, forcing a punt. Erik Totten returned the punt to the Western 29. Three plays later, Mitchell connected with Greg Dykstra on a 71- yard touchdown pass. "We had a sluggish start, but picked things up," offensive run coordinator Scott Hodgkinson said. "It was good to see u s continue to get better, as we've done each week." Western stopped Western New Mexico's next drive in five plays. Totten returned the punt-41 yards. The Mustang defense held and Western had to settle for a 43-yard field goal. The Vikes scored two more touchdowns in the second quarter, first on Mitchell's eight-yard run and then on Photos by Daniel J.

Sean Ryan's five-yard touchdown reception. On the reception, Ryan tore his anterior cruciate ligament. Recovery time is estimated between three weeks to a year, depending on how serious the injury is. Western's defense continued to shut the Mustangs out, helped by Andy Linscott's interception and Dan Ball's forced fumble in the second quarter. The second half began with Totten setting up the first Viking score by returning a punt 49 yards, leading to a five-yard touchdown pass from Mitchell to Dykstra. Totten's punt return put him in Western's record book as he passed the single season punt return yardage record for both a single game and for a season in the season's sixth game. Following Dykstra's touchdown catch, the Vikings recovered an on-side kick. Six plays later, they reached the end zone again on Mitchell's 13-yard pass to Nate Kuhns. The Vikings scored twice more in the half, on R.J.

Tension was high as both teams played aggressively. "I didn't expect Evergreen would be so chippy," head coach Derrek Falor said. 'We played around it pretty well." Western sprang from the gate with a scoring opportunity less than two minutes into the game. Forward Taryn Maurer scored in the eighth minute of play,, with an assist by Suzanne Soine. Western scored twice more in the first half, with Mary Wellnitz's and Soine's footwork. Wellnitz's goal was her first this season. Maurer and sophomore , Kristen Whitlqck made assists, respectively. ' I t was good to have a game where we could work out some of our kinks," Wellnitz said. Western continued to dominate scoring twice in the first 10 minutes of the second half.
