The goals of the center are threefold, Meade said. 1. To initiate, co-ordinate and c o n d u c t researchon psychological phenomena as they are conditioned by cultural or sub-cultural groups; 2. To trainforeign and American students, both undergraduates and graduates (including doctoral candidates), intechniques in cross-cultural problems; 3. To publish and collect research and theoretical papersgenerated in the psychological anthropology area. The center will concentrate on studies of attitude,attitude change and persuasion with r e s p e c t to total world p o p u l a t i o n control and c o m p a ra t i v e studies of leadership and motivation, Meade said. Meade said he hopes that the center willpromote basic understanding and tolerance for the values, aspirations and behavior of people in cultures other than American. "Nearly all psychological research conducted on humans is done using AmericanCaucasian subjects," he said. The center was conceived in 1965 when Meade first came to Western,the director said. Dr. Evelyn Mason, associate professor of psychology, and Meade arrived at similarconclusions as a result of separate research. Dr. Mason's research showed that Mexican-Americans are underachievers although they h a v e a higher social responsibility, tolerance and intellectual efficiencythen Whites and American Indians. Meade has conducted studies of the culture of two large Asiancountriesâ€”India and China. Both Indians and Chinese respond more adequately to authoritarianleadership than t h e y do to democratic leadership, according to Meade. This is diametrically opposedto studies conducted with White American subjects, he said. The center was established in January and Meade became director last month. The psychology department has one course which studies non-American cultures, Meade said. The Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, a quarterly, will featureoriginal research articles. Meade also proposed an annual volume of theory and critical review ofdevelopments in cross-cultural research. The review will be based in yearly symposiums held atWestern, Meade said. "western front Vol. LXI no. 27 Western Washington State College Bellingham,Washington 98225 Tuesday, May 27, 1969 10c Civil rights up to President -Douglas Western's latestcontroversial subject: the million-dollar, multi-level VU addition which opened last Tuesday. photo byseiford Criticism hits VU addition; Karp promises corrections Student reaction to the new million-dollarViking Union addition has been mostly unfavorable. Complaints range from the cafeteria-coffee shoplooking "too much like a noisy, overcrowded Saga dining hall" to the building being "built like a well-reinforced bank." Viking Union Director Chris Karp said that he recognized the new union addition'sweaknesses and that steps were being taken to correct the problems. First-day sightseers plasteredthe cafeteria-coffee shop with the worst criticism. Most belly-ached about poor table arrangements, alack of busboys and poor acoustics. "We'll be adding more round coffee tables instead of square o n e s to improve the now-crowded atmosphere," Karp said. "As for the acoustics, we are looking for funds tocover the floor which should help." Since more personnel are needed in the cafeteria kitchen, thebusboy service had to b e discontinued. "We are asking students to cooperate in cutting operatingcosts," Karp explained. "If we don't, we'll have to increase food prices." Other complaints about the newunion complex included a lack of directional signs. Opening day found hundreds of students wanderingin every corner of the structure looking for the coffee shop. "We wanted students to get a good look attheir new building," Karp said. "But we will be adding a floor directory as soon as we decide whichoffices and tenants will be occupying the various rooms." Additional union facilities include a barbershop, smoke shop and bank on the main level arcade. The barber shop opened the first day, followed by the smoke shop, which is operating on a temporary basis until furnishings arrive this summer. T h e No r t h w e s t e rn Commercial Bank branch office is projected to open June 15. The coffee den on themain level was the subject of favorable comment. Its opening last week helped to keep the coffee-shopcrowds down. A 24-hour coffee and food automat will supplement service. The job of the Supreme Courtin the area of civil rights is done for the time being, William 0. Douglas, associate justice of the U.S.Supreme Court, said here last week. Any new impetus in civil rights will have to come from theexecutive branch of our government, Douglas told his audience during a question and answer period inthe VU. Many more people of our nation are concerned with equal education and job opportunities, hesaid. "I'm not going anywhere," Douglas said when asked about future vacancies on the Supreme Court. The associate justice declined to speculate on who the new faces on the high court would be. Douglas was asked about the possible defense of Dr. Benjamin Spock who is appealing a conviction for anti-draft activity, but he refused to discuss the case since it was still under consideration. He also answeredquestions about freedom of speech and obscenity. Douglas related a story to his audience about OliverWendell Holmes Jr., associate justice of the Supreme Court, 1902-1932. As Holmes was coming out ofa burlesque theater, a reporter asked him why a justice of the Supreme Court would have been in such a place. "Young man, it's because I have a dirty mind," Holmes replied. Douglas was invited to Westernby Fairhaven College. Associate justice William O.

Where Pride of Possession Is Part of Your Pur ase I OutdoorProgram offers alternative to 'raped earth9 Western's Outdoor Program, a recent addition to the ActivityCommission, hopes to "introduce people to their natural environment," John Servais, the program'snominal organizer, said. The Program offers an; alternative to "smog, smoke, muck, asphalt, concrete,and raped earth." The program office is located in VU-8, but will expand into VU-9 in the near future,Servais said. In operation since January, the program offers various outdoor activity and outings. Hiking, camping and general outdoor equipment are available on a rental basis. However, the learningexperience and outdoor companionship is emphasized, Servais said. Under advisement of John Miles,assistant director of programs, the program has no organization or requirements but is simply composed of those interested in the outdoors. "It is an idea. The group is who joins," Servais said. Activities todate include a hike on Olympic Beach near La Push, instructional mountain climbing on Mt. Erie and asailing cruise through the Canadian Gulf islands along Vancouver Island over Spring vacation. TheOutdoor Programs's facilities are open to anyone who would like to participate in an outing or organizeone of their own. Outings are designed to accommodate beginners or any level of outdoor proficiency.Equipment, which includes everything from tents to snowshoes, is rented to students, Servais said.With a request for a $1,300 budget next year, the Program hopes to expand its equipment stock andfacilities. In the new location in VU-9 will be Lounge facilities, maps, work benches and additionalequipment such as kayaks Also, a student discount equipment buying co-op will be available. There will be an expansion of the instructional programs including scuba diving and white water kayak running.Students are urged to consult t h e Outdoor Program announcement board inside the VU front door,Servais said. Further information and literature is available from noon to 1 pjn. at the program office.Students plan language house Foreign language buffs on campus might be living together next winter inan effort to get to know their languages more realistically. The AS Foreign Language House Committeeis searching for at least 50 students interested in setting aside a living house for French, Spanish andGerman language students. Plans call for participants to speak their foreign tongues as much aspossible outside class hours, including meals, special parties and lectures. Thirty-five Western students have expressed an interest this year for such a program, according to Dale Battson, committeechairman. "We don't want to start the program until we have at least 50 interested students," Battsonsaid. The committee will attempt to attract more interested persons at a special meeting at 3:30 pjn.,Thursday in HU-105. The meeting is open to the public including language majors and non-majors.Battson said the committee is investigating the possibility of using one of the new Fairhaven Collegedormitories for the project. Target date for starting the program will be Winter quarter. A similar programat the University of Washington has met with success, where several hundred students live in French,German, Spanish, Russian, Swedish, Italian and Japanese language houses. Russian House is homefor 50 students alone, including a native Russian housemother. Panel responds to sex education "Sexeducation in our schools: Should we have it?," is the topic of a four member panel on sex education inpublic schools that will be held at 7 tonight in the VU lounge. The panel, sponsored by StudentWashington Education Association (SWEA), is directed especially at education majors. Bill MacDonald, vice-president of SWEA, explained that the panel idea is a result of a recent resolution passed by theW a s h i n g t o n Education Association (WEA). The resolution is that the WEA will work towards astate-wide system of sex education, beginning with kindergarten, MacDonald said. "The purpose of thepanel is to give people an idea of what a sex education system would be is on your way south toChuckanut, all the beaches, Mount RAINIER and OLYMPIA 1211 - 11th in FAIRHAVEN like since itwill probably go into state-wide effect in the near future." The panel is open to the public, and allinterested persons are welcome, he said. The members of the panel are: Ruth Torgeson, familyplanning center in Bellevue; Arnold Bobson, Bellingham high school teacher; Evelyn Ames, instructor ofphysical education; and Reverend William Sodt, Campus Christian Ministry. Elections for next year'sSWEA officers will be held at the end of the panel.

A proposal has been set forth in the General Assembly, sponsored by 53 nations, which willinstitute a "Declaration on the Human Environment." The declaration will stress at the political level theimportance of the problems of man's physical, biological, social and cultural surroundings,and will bedrawn up by the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment which will be held in 1972. It isemphasized, however, that the conference should not be a scientific meeting, but a meeting aimed atmaking r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s to governments and international agencies in relation to planning,rational management and c o n t r o l of the human environment. It was suggested that the organizationof the subjects could fall into three main areas: (a) Global Problems: Problems of world-widedimensions, potentially affecting all countries. These would cover matters of international significancecalling for international actionâ€”(e.g. the nitrogen cycle, carbon dioxide, radioactive pollution and theoceans). Actions would be the responsibility of governments and international agencies. (b) TerritorialProblems: (including non-oceanic and coastal waters) (e.g., soil erosion, salinity, water pollution,conservation and rational use of land). Action would be primarily the responsibility of governments andmight also have regional aspects. (c) Human Settlement Problems: Problems affecting local areas ofhuman concentration: (e.g., air pollution, noise, traffic, urban problems and micro-environments inliving and working conditions). Action would be primarily the responsibility of national g o v e r n m e n ts and city authorities. While real-estate developers and corporations continue to rape the environmentfor fun and profit, the quality of our life is constantly being lowered. The UN report states that ourscientific and technological developments involve grave dangers if not properly controlled. Much damage has already been done to our environment and to citizens of the world which cannot be remedied in ourlifetime. According to a scientific report issued in the spring of 1968, one-thousandth of a gram of DDTin 1,000 kilograms of water may lower the metabolism of the algae by 75 per cent. This would be a direct threat to the life of the algae, since hundreds of thousands of tons of DDT are spread over thecontinents every year, of which a major part ultimately finds its way to the oceans. The majority ofoxygen is produced in the ocean, approximately 70 per cent, and the per centage grows larger everyyear as we pave with concrete, build houses, and destroy trees which produce most of the oxygen onland. In order to combat the destruction of our natural resources, the United Nations has come up with a series of recommendations: 1. International research program on man and the biosphere. 2.Research on ecosystems. 3. Research on human ecology. 4. Inventory and monitoring of resources.5. Methodology and coordination of research. 6. Pollution research and monitoring. 7. Utilization andpreservation of genetic resources. 8. Rational use of natural resources. 9. Training at the primary and secondary school level. 10. Teaching of ecology at university level. 11. Centers for training andresearch in rational use and conservation of the resources of the biosphere. 12. Out-of-schoolenvironmental education of youth and adults. 13. Inter-agency coordination on environmentaleducation. 14. Science and resource policy. 15. Preservation of natural areas and endangered species. 16. Multidisciplinary research and training centers for resource inventory and evaluation. 17. UnitedNations conference on human environment. 18. Technical assistance for basic and applied studies onthe resources of the biosphere. 19. Rational use and conservation in assistance projects fordeveloping countries. 20. Preparation of an intergovernmental interdisciplinary program. Radio stationset for future The Radio Station Steering Committee has set a target date of Fall 1970 for beginningoperation of a Class C broadcasting station on Western's campus Chairman Larry Ditloff said. It ishoped that such a move would initiate a degree in communications and be a first step toward obtainingtelevision facilities. Western's current facilties are only a simulated broadcast set-up where tapes aremade for area radio stations. Various problems confront the plan. Initial costs could reach $50,000.State funds are unavailable for the current fiscal year. An alternative would be to obtain funding from theDepartment of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW). These funds would rule out implementing a lessexpensive Class D station and as the committee points out, initially, the cost of a C station would becomparable to a second class A station. HEW funds could cover 75 per cent of the costs. Such astation would be in 24-hour "operation and have a broadcast radius of 65 miles. A Class A stationreaches only about 26 miles. Licensing by the Federal Communications Commission would limit thestation to primarily community service educational programming. T h i s would assist community-college relations, Dittloff said. The most help interested students can give is to demonstrate theirinterest, Dittloff said. Those wishing to help should contact Dittloff at 1006 Jersey St. or telephone 734-1547. TWO HEY!

Certainly much of such criticism is constructive and necessary. The Church asa human institution is subject to all foibles and shortcomings of human beings. Since man and westernculture are so imperfect, it could not be hoped that the Church on earth would be an ideal institution.Constructive criticism of religious institutions is necessary to stimulate new and needed reform. Suchcriticism and an awareness of past errors reflect against neither the Judeo-Christian faith or the idealChurch as it could be. It is unfortunate that so many uninformed people, aided by overly sophisticated"intellectuals" and rational secular historians, have tended to view the history of the Church as one longperiod of wars, inquisitions and witch hunts. While no one can deny or explain away these incidents, one must also remember the positive side of the Christian Church: men like Saint Francis of Assisi or SaintBernard who expressed the tremendous potential of the Christian faith, the spiritual joys and the lyricbeauty of the Church. The arts are another example: the sculpture, icons, ritual pageantry and gloriousmusic coming from the Church have profoundly shaped the soul of Western man. No one can deny that,in spite of obvious shortcomings, the religions of the West have served as a source of faith, comfort andinspiration. Despite inaction in some quarters, religious leaders have played a role in social action and inworking for love, harmony, equality and peace. In short, if the record of all Western religion is not perfect,it is still very good in many areas and far from the den of iniquity and gloom as painted in other quarters.1328 Cornwall 733-9300 THOUGHTS. . . Decision makers are to blame I am in agreement with thestatement Fred Ellis made regarding the ethnic studies program in last week's Western Front. His pointis highly valid. If we had been able to get approval in January, rather than April, it wouldn't have beennecessary for me to take a position at another school. That is, I was faced with a decision to take a firmcommitment at a major university (UCLA). I could stay here and struggle for another two or more yearsto really get something that I consider professionally significant underway. I had already waited for nearly eight years. Any new idea seems to take an interminable degree of time to get approval in theacademic bureaucracy. One of the major reasons is an unwillingness to have academic respect for thecompetence of others. This is especially true regarding those who are talking about ideas that areunfamiliar and may be unpopular or critical of traditional thinking about higher education. The peoplecharged with responsibility for making decisions tend to cling to the present way of doing things-toresist change. We presently have a thoroughly articulated expression of what ethnic studies shouldbe at Western. This expression has been developed at the expense of getting personnel. Yet, even thisdoes not satisfy some of our detractors. I have been other places where programs are going at the sametime that personnel are being hired. Had the program been approved earlierâ€”we almost certainly wouldhave a director by now, as well as faculty. As of this moment, we have neither, only a few prospects. Itis my expectation that personnel coming on would design and operate the program. We are trying todevelop something that is unique for our situation. Just having a few courses would be the commonapproach. Yet, we are still concerned with whether or not there should be an ethnic studies program.Would this program be unique enough to make it valuable? Our location is unique. We have acrossroads of cultures. We have more Black students than Mexican-Americans and Indians, but thisarea can serve as a political laboratory. We have a lot of Mexican migrants, reservation and n on-reservation Indians. We are only two hours away from a significant Black community in Seattle. We have a lot of ingredients which would make for a unique program. The important thing I would emphasize isBellingham's insulation. Western is within this insulation. Insulation means you can focus on programs'and changes from an educational standpoint rather than a political standpoint. We are not bound bypolitical policies, community policies and social criticism. Yet, we are not taking advantage of oursituation. We are in a position to do more than most other colleges or universities on a Black or otherethnic studies program. On the specific criticism by Ellis: What has been frustrating has been trying toexplain to the critics of the program its merits. They could at least challenge our rationale. I try to getpeople to understand the nature of ethnic studies. Yet, most seem unwilling to call into question thetraditional context and orientation of college programs. Also frustrating is the fact that the critics don'tgive itemized reasons for their disapproval. To see specifically what I mean, look at the minutes of theAcademic Council of January 23 and April 15. Had it not been for the students on the council, it isdoubtful whether we would even have the approval for an ethnic studies program. The vote was 10-3 inthe council on April 15. Four of those who voted "yes" were students. If there had been a. full facultycoropJement present, I believe the vote would have been 7-5. Of those faculty on the council, three wereabsent. What kind of support is that for a new program? Had just the faculty voted, what kind of basiswould that have been to launch an innovative approach? Ellis refers to the administration. What he has in mind is that there has not been a public statement of support by any of the administration. He meanspublic and vocal support primarily by the president and the dean, other than private support. They (theadministration) do have their reason for doing this. But the fact remains, other programs have had greater priority. associate business -Dr. Thaddeus H.

The letter is being reprinted in order that the student body might become aware of theexisting housing problem. We are five college coeds submitting this letter to you in hope that something will be done about our housing problem with our current landlord and the problem that is restricting off-campus housing for all college students attending Western. We hope that by bringing this matter toyour attention, you will be able to understand more clearly the situation shared by many off-campusresidents in Bellingham due to poor landlord-tenant relationships. We have included a list of grievancesagainst the present owner and landlord of our house. 1. At the time we moved into the house on Jan. 10, 1969, it was agreed that the rent for the furnished house should be $150 per month and that the tenants should pay the gas, heat, and electricity. The water and garbage should be paid by the owner. Thisagreement was signed in the faith that the utilities would not run more than $20 a month on the average. For March alone our bills for gas and electricity totaled $80!. Those after-shave gift sets have reallylivened up commencements \oHÂ£ A guy gets a Hai KarateÂ®Gift Set for graduation.

And why we must advise yougraduates who plan on wearing Hai Karate to the ceremonies to study your instructions carefully.Before you commence. Hai Karate-be careful how you use it. 2. One of the main things involved in house security is . having a lock on your door that works. After four months we finally secured an ordinaryskeleton key for our door, which was purchased by the landlord at a local store. 3. Upon rising at 9:30a.m. on May 15, 1969, it was discovered that the water had been shut off with no prior notice. Therewas no water for breakfasts, washing or bathroom facilities all morning. By afternoon, there was coldwater, but no hot water available to us and the landlord still had not spoken to us about this. 4. Thewater evidently had been shut off for the installation of two washers and two dryers in the basement ofthe house, which will be used by 36 girls (occupants of the house next door, also owned by thelandlord), which will be coin operated. Gas for heating the water will go on our utility bill. Plans for thisinstallation were not explained until after we had lived here for three months, and we had no choice but to accept. 5. About a month ago the landlord informed us that starting Fall quarter, he was moving sixgirls at $45 apiece into our house and stating that the $45 would cover utilities. We had anticipatedstaying here with no change in the number of girls or the cost, but this was not his intention. He hashad these plans for this house since January, but failed to inform us of them until just one month ago.We all had plans for staying here next year and all summer too, but his conditions will not be met by usin this matter. 6. If we remain for Fall quarter, we will also be required to pay an additional $25 depositover and above the $25 we paid when we first became tenants for this house. His reasoning for this wasthat it would be a start of a new school year. He has not taken into account that we pay by the month,and not quarterly or by the school year. This completes our list of grievances; however these problemswill go on. There have been other smaller incidents that have contributed to the decision to write thisletter.
