"The college had nobusiness signing up more students when they knew that there wasn't enough housing available,"Williams told The Western Front in an interview. He added that officials should t h i n k about restrictingenrollment on campus next year if the housing shortages still exist. "The city doesn't have the money to build housing for college students," he said. Williams admitted that he had been confronted with therecent complaints about high rents for low-class housing in the Bellingham area. "The city ofBellingham, as far as I'm concerned, doesn't have the constitutional right to control rents," Williams said. When asked if he thought the city has been doing an adequate job of enforcing housing codes,Williams said that they had "to the best of their ability." He added that city housing officials couldn'tpossibly make a house-to-house check. "We can only act when we receive complaints from theoccupants of the alleged sub-standard housing," the mayor said. Williams assured The Front that cityofficials wouldn't turn their backs to the problems, though. He emphasized that the housing situationwas a college-spawned problem which would have to be ironed out with the state and federalgovernments. 'Where do we go . . .

Lack of housing may force enrollment restrictions. See editorial p. 4. -photo by walker ADELESALTZMAN managing editor "Tent City was really successful" was the general comment from the City's citizens and AS Housing Commissioners last weekend. The canvas community was erected on thelawn in front of Old Main early last Thursday in an attempt to publicize the housing problem and alert the people of Bellingham to the desperate situation at Western. A count taken Thursday night showed thatthere were 35 tents in the City and 111 students, Jerry Field, AS commissioner of housing, said.According to a statement issued by the Housing Commission, approximately 1,500 students enteredWestern this Fall without pre-arranged housing. The Commission had set up 45 beds on the third levelof the Viking Union as part of the emergency housing project last week. By Friday sufficient temporaryhousing was provided by the Bellingham community and AS President Al Doan, over local radio stations, thanked the community for its response to the emergency. But there is still a need for permanenthousing. Anyone with houses to list for students should contact the college housing office, Doanannounced. Tent City's immediate objectives were to dramatize the housing emergency, bring pressureon the city for effective enforcement of the housing code, end racial discrimination and end discrimination against students, Field explained at a press conference last week. The tent-in project receivedcoverage from the Seattle Times, the Bellingham Herald, the Everett Herald, KIRO, KOMO and KVOStelevision stations, John Ward, Tent City publicity coordinator, said last Saturday. Since the City wascreated basically for publicity, we think it was very successful, Ward said. advises permit purchasesAS budget to be cut $18,000 The Faculty Council is "advising faculty members who have not purchasedparking permits to now do so." Previously the Council "asked the faculty not to purchase permits inorder to attract attention to its repeated requests for consideration of the (parking) recommendations."At a meeting last Friday the Council approved the following statement for distribution to the faculty: "The Council herewith advises those faculty members who have not purchased permits to do so. "TheCouncil continues to insist on the opportunity to d i s c u s s i t s p o l i cy recommendations with theBoard of Trustees and', believes.. these recommendations to be reasonable and intends to pursue themin every reasonable way. "The Council calls attention to the fact that its actions are presently effectiveonly as they are recognized by the administration and the Board of Trustees and supported by thefaculty." Last Summer the Council opposed the parking fee plans and urged faculty members to boycott and not buy parking permits. Tow-away procedures for cars without parking permits begin this week."We found we could no longer protect faculty who don't buy permits," Dr. Merrill E. Lewis, associateprofessor of English, said at the Council meeting-. v . . . . . . . . . / - . . .. - More than $18,000 will betrimmed from the Associated Students (A.S.) budget due to a cutback in funds allotted by the collegeadministration. A.S. -Business Manager Les Savitch told the student l e g i s l a t u r e Friday thatunanticipated costs for several new clubs and the Housing Commission might force a voluntary cutbackof an additional $6,000 to make ends meet. "The $18,000 figure is definitely a minimum," Savitchwarned., A general fiscal squeeze on campus was cited as the major reason for the cutback. The Fiscal Management Committee has been assigned the unpleasant task of making r e c o m m e n d a t i o n s for preliminary slices from the $156,000 budget pie. The committee includes student legislators GaryEvans, .chairman,.Gail Denton.and Neil. Porter. Normally, the State Legislature allows the collegeadministration to allot $6 per student, per quarter for the Associated Students." The college, though,makes the final decision considering fiscal circumstances. A.S. President Al Doan said the cutbackcame as no real surprise to student government. "We did ask for an increase in the budget for thisschool year, but with money problems cropping up all over campus we weren't surprisedto see the cut,"Doan said. He added that he was completely in the dark as to which portions of the student budgetwould have to be trimmed. "Certainly I hope that the Fiscal Management Committee takes intoconsideration all the fine programs that we originated this year for student welfare and progress," Doansaid, The total Associated Students budget, as allotted by the college administration, will amount to$138,000. The projected budget two years ago on campus was $151,000. $3 fee dropped Today is thelast day to add classes, Registrar William J. O'Neil announced Friday. The $3 change of class fee hasbeen discontinued effective this quarter, he said. The academic dean's advisory council of departmentchairmen recommended that the fee be discontinued. " T h e administration approved therecommendation and dropped the fee," Academic Dean R. D. Brown said. Class changes may be made between 8:30 a.m. and 4 p.m. in the Registration Center in Edens Hall, O'Neil said. Students may dropclasses until Nov. 12, the registrar said. ---------- Western Front - 1969 October 7 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, October 7, 1969 Legislature may set up Crisis Line Western students will soonbe able to pick up a telephone and dial a single number for solutions to their problems, John Ward,administrative assistant to the AS president, announced last week. Ward said in an interview, he plansto introduce a bill into the AS legislature to establish a single number direct line similiar to the CrisisLine at Sacramento State College (SSC). Students would be able to ask qualified persons questionsconcerning draft, drugs, abortions or housing, he said. "Such a move would require an additionaltelephone extension and office," Ward said. However, the most important need is volunteer studenthelp, Ward added. The housing commissioner and selective service adviser will be among the qualifiedpersons the service will use, he said. The Crisis Line at SSC has been operating since Sept. 22 andhas been used greatly by the students there, according to a letter from the director, Don Juhl. "CrisisLine appeals to students who are reluctant to discuss their problems with school officials," Juhl said.Juhl personally selected the student staff based upon their ability to understand student problems and to converse freely over the telephone, he said. The professional help was recruited during the summer and were chosen for their reputation and ability to work with young people, the director said. "Most casesare referred to professional services known for their ability to work with hip people," Juhl said. "It isoperating successfully other places," Ward said. "With the co-operation of the students, we can make itwork here." Committees have vacancies Interested undergraduates are being sought by the Associated Students (AS) to fill more than two dozen student vacancies on important college committees this year. All vacancies exist due to the lack of applicants, according to AS President Al Doan. "These positionsoffer s t u d e n t s an excellent opportunity to get involved in important decision-making committees oncampus," Doan said. Committees which need student appointees include Auxiliary Enterprises, whichincludes recreational facilities, housing, dining and other student facilities, Parking, D i s c i p l i n a r y , Student Publications, Student Affairs, Financial Aids, Arts and Lectures, Auditorium, Branch Libraryand the Judicial Board. Interested students can apply for appointment in the AS offices on the top floor of the Viking Union.

Ken Kirkpatrick will be thekeynote speaker in Red Square for the moratorium day, providing there are no administrative objections, according to Hartwell. Two films will be shown on that day. Vietnam Dialog, featuring DavidSchoenbrun, of the American Friends Service Committee, will be shown in L-3. A Nation Builds UnderFire, starring John Wayne, will be the government's side of the Vietnam story. Vietnam Why wasoriginally to be the second film shown, but Hartwell explained that Fort Lewis had taken the film off thecivilian use list. The audio-visual personnel at Fort Lewis told him that too many "wrong organizations"were getting hold of the film and using it for anti-war purposes. Other moratorium activities will beannounced in next week's Western Front. Western's moratorium committee is depending on 30 to 40faculty members for some s u p p o r t , as a faculty endorsement campaign is already underway."There's no reason why instructors can't come out in a SWEA to hold seminars The StudentWashington Education Association (SWEA) wishes to welcome back to Western all the educationmajors and minors, Bill McDonald of SWEA, said, "For those new arrivals on campus who don't knowwho we are, SWEA is a student association of pre-professionals who work with the professional W a sh i n g t o n Education Association (WEA) in helping students become aware and involved with theteaching profession while a student," McDonald explained. "This year SWEA will be conducting aseries of informal seminars on topics of interest and importance in the teaching profession today." Thefirst of these seminars will b at 7 p jn. Thursday in 110. The topic will be "Violence and Aggression in the Classroom." The discussion will revolve around the special article in the September edition of Today'sEducation, he said. "Copies of this magazine will be placed for your convenience in the Viking Union.The topic is on classroom incidences and not sit-ins or riots, he added. Dr. Sy Schwartz, assistantprofessor and director of Project Overcome, will offer his experiences to help with the discussion. Theseminars will be open to the public and everyone is invited but it is more valuable to t h o s e interestedin the educational field, McDonald said. supportive role," Hartwell said. New York's Sept. 25 issue ofthe Village Voice stated that Rutgers University "President Dr. Mason Gross endorsed the moratoriumand said the University, itself, would participate." N a t i o n a l l y , the work-for-peace day has thesupport of more than 400 colleges and more than one million students, Hartwell said. Everyone wishing"a firm commitment from President Nixon to withdraw ALL American troops within six months," is urged by the n a t i o n a l committee to participate in the moratorium. AC shows films The first two films ofthe underground film series, The Brig and Schmeerguntz will be shown at 7 and 9 pjn. Friday in L-4.The Brig, by Jonas Mekas, is the gruelling story of a day in a Marine Corps lockup. The New York Times describes the film as depicting ' ' t h e m e t h o d i c a l, round-the-clock fiendishness inflicted on 10prisoners by three guards, all of them apparently in the line of duty." Schmeerguntz, by Gunvor Nelson,is a satire of American home life. The film is "brash enough, brazen enough, and funny enough to purgethe soul of every harried American woman," according to Ernest Callenbach of Film Quarterly. ActivitiesCommission is sponsoring the underground films. Shop Owner faces trial Security serves The p r o p r ie t o r of Bellingham's Atlantis Peace Shop, Shim Hogan gt; goes on trial at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct.16 in Municipal Court for displaying posters and a bumper sticker alleged to be obscene. The charge isa gross misdemeanor punishable by 90 days in jail and/or $300 fine. Atlantis, 1205 Cornwall, is anewcomer to the Bellingham business community and deals in psychedelic posters, jewelry, candles,literature and local handcrafts. The posters had been on display six months before the July 31 raid onAtlantis by the Bellingham mayor, the police chief and several plain-clothesmen. 1328 Cornwall 733-9300 "Campus Security is a service performed for the students by the students," Robert Smith, divisionsecurity officer, said. The vast majority of the campus security force is comprised of student patrolmenwho patrol assigned areas 24 hours a day armed with nothing more than a hat, jacket, radio andflashlight. Campus Security is charged with the safety and security of the college, traffic control, parking and fire prevention, Smith said. The Security Office is located at 316 21 St. (Armadillo House) acrossfrom the Fairhaven Office. There is someone on duty in the office 24 hours a day. Front gets wetWestern Front staff members found themselves sitting in cold water while trying to meet copy deadlineslast week. The crux of the problem was a blocked sanitary sewer line, which caused water to back upinto the basement of the Viking Union, maintenance men said. The location and cause of the blockagewere uncertain, but repairs would be made as soon as possible, they said. ---------- Western Front - 1969 October 7 - Page 3 ---------- Tuesday, October 7, 1969 Western Front This week's events TODAY- 1 p.m.: Margaret Benston, "OnWomen's Liberation," VU Lounge. 3 p.m.: Movement films: The Rebellion of San Francisco State, TheHaightSt. Riots, The Whole World is Watching, Now, L-4.

Pledge classes at many of the major colleges and universities across thenation showed significant drops. Greek rush at the University of Washington pulled in a class of only611, compared to 780 last year. It is speculated that the fraternity concept has failed to appeal to the"new type" of student who demands more personal freedom than the Greeks offer. Jim Flint, UWInterfraternity Council adviser, said that the fraternity could, at times, be more restrictive than home. "Iam personally concerned that these changes may mean the death of the fraternity in its present form,"Flint told the UW Daily.

The discussion was introduced in last Friday's organizational legislative session. Headded that such things as housekeeping, the four hour study table, sorority serenades and sign buildingfor homecoming is not what the new type student looks for. Berkeley witnessed the virtual collapse oftheir fraternity row last year when an all-time low 250 men showed up rush week to fill 41 houses.Campus newspapers coast-to-coast are taking the Greeks to town in scores of scathing editorials andfeatures. A columnist at Duke University called fraternities " u n n a t u r a l , unhealthy organizationswhich perpetuate a rather reprehensive value system.

Open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mondayâ€” Saturday The Bellingham Chapter of Zero Population Growth (ZPG) is presenting a panel anddiscussion of the Population Problem at 7:30 tonight in the lecture room of the Bellingham- PublicLibrary. "All population-concerned citizens are urged to attend this informative meeting, both to learnabout the problem and to discuss what can be done by Whatcom County citizens," Susan Barrett,coordinator of the Bellingham Chapter of ZPG, said. "There is little disagreement that population growthis the most crucial problem facing the world today." "Air, water and noise pollution, traffic congestion, p o v e r t y , s t a r v a t i o n, unemployment, rising crime rates and resource depletion are all symptoms of overpopulation. "These problems will not be solved until population growth rates are brought down,"Miss Barrett said. The world population is now doubling about every 35 years. If the populationcontinues to reproduce at the present rate there will be more than 6 billion people on earth by the year2000. Today, in 1969, there are over 2 billion who are not being properly fed. Zero Population Growth isa national organization which was begun last year by Dr. Paul Ehrlich, a keynote speaker at theInaugural of President Charles J. Flora. Ehrlich is professor of biology and director of graduate study forthe department of biology and biological sciences at Stanford University. He is also author of the bookof the quarter, The Population Bomb. The main goal of ZPG is to bring about measures and thinking that will make it possible to lower the United States population growth rate to zero, that is, stabilize ourpopulation by bringing our birth rate down to equal the death rate, Miss Barrett said. To achieve this theaverage family should limit its size to no more than two natural children, adopting if they desire a largerfamily. Auto permits still available There are still more than 300 student parking permits available at the safety and security office, 316 21st St. (Armadillo House.) Enforcement of violations has started andstudents should get their permits, Robert G.

A goodcry cleanses the soul After all is shed and done, your soul may be saved . . . but your contacts needhelp. They need Len-sine. Lensine is the one contact lens solution for complete contact care...preparing, cleansing, and soaking: There was a time when you needed two or more different lenssolutions to properly prepare and' maintain your contacts. No more. Lensine. from The MurineCompany, makes caring for contact lenses as convenient as wearing them. Just a drop or two ofLensine coats and lubricates your lens. This allows the lens to float more freely in the eye, reducingtearful irritation. Why? Because Lensine is a compatible, "isotonic" solution, very much like your eye's natural fluids. Cleaning your contacts with Lensine retards the build-up of foreign deposits on thelenses. And soaking your contacts in Lensine between wearing periods assures you of proper lenshygiene. You get a free soaking-storage case with individual lens compartments on the bottom ofevery bottle of Lensine. It has been demonstrated the improper storage between wear-ings permitsthe growth of bacteria on the lenses. This is a sure cause of eye irritation and in some cases canendanger your vision. Bacteria cannot grow in Lensine because it's sterile, self-sanitizing, andantiseptic. Lensine . . . the sou/ution for complete contact lens care.

Though tent city is gone, the problems it represented are not. The Bellinghamcommunity is to be lauded for rising to the situation and providing emergency housing for desperatestudents. But the long term problems still remain. There is one main reason for the housing crisis. Thecause of the shortage is the increased enrollment of Western this year, more than 1000 students higherthan last Fall quarter. Such an increase in population in a small town such as Bellingham can indeedcause a housing shortage. Mayor Reg Williams has charged that the shortage of housing is thecollege's fault. He claims that the city officials are doing an honest job in upholding housing codes butthey cannot inspect every dwelling, only those they receive complaints on. Whether Bellingham has been living up to its housing codes is a matter to be decided in the courts. The mayor has said that the stateand federal governments must solve the problem, indicating that an influx of money must be forthcomingto rectify the situation. This is the crux of the problem; money. The state government already is spending more than half of its budget on education. While education is long term investment that pays uniquedividends to the state that invests, it unfortunately shows little immediate benefits. This failure to returnimmediate interest on the investment causes the taxpayers to believe that they are pouring money intoBellingham Bay, never to return. This is hardly the case yet when the budget is drawn up, what thetaxpayers think is the case is what matters. Some ill-informed legislators also think that a dollar foreducation is a dollar wasted. The long term returns on an educationally superior state are enormous.Industry follows talent, so a state with an abundance of talent is a state that will receive the attention ofindustry and the resulting financial benefits. However, assuming that the state does not wish to investmore funds in education, and that the federal government continues to screw the colleges with itscutbacks on construction, the result may well be a limitation on enrollment. Such a move would solvethe housing crisis, which otherwise would probably continue to disintegrate as the enrollment figuresskyrocket. Also, if the state projected figures of Western's enrollment, which determine its state funding, continue to be on the low side, the academic quality of this institution will suffer as classes are enlarged and dropped, programs curtailed and other services dispensed with to make up for the lack of funds.However, a larger institution, perhaps 15,000 students, would give Western the versatility and still allow itto remain a close-knit school. But this cannot be accomplished without funds. With sufficient funds, theacademic superiority of Western can be maintained and increased, as it has been increasing in the lastten years. With enough money the housing shortage can be resolved. Whether or not this money isforthcoming will decide Western's future. â€”Mike Gowrylow thewestern front official weekly newspaper of Western Washington State College - second class postage paid at Bellingham, Wash. 98225 - phone734-8800: editorial, ext 2277; advertising, ext. 2276.

It's Happening JOHN MILEScontributor Amchitka Island, a small bit of soil far out in Alaska's Aleutian Island chain, has suddenlyflashed into the world's view. Momentarily the social, economic and environmental concerns of thepresent era are symbolized in this refrigerated pinhead of rock, for there the Atomic Energy Commissionis conducting underground nuclear tests. There a Federal agency is spending great sums to bore holesto test destructive devices to add to an already incredible atomic arsenal. There a project of potentialshort and long-range harm continues despite protestations by officials of several allied nations, aprominent U.S. senator from the state of Alaska and other officials and concerned individuals and groups. There America's system of national wildlife refuges is threatened by activity which will certainly set apotentially disastrous precedent of trespass in these areas set aside for the exclusive use of our fellowinhabitants of this planet. Politicians and other campaigners have recently taken up the banner to fight for environmental quality. People sensitive to the environment have for years been concerned andforecasting environmental disaster. The Udall Interior administration brought increased awareness ofenvironment to the governmental and political sphere and today there are hundreds of Congressional billson environmental issues in the works. Meanwhile, on Amchitka island, as in other locations, destructivework and planning continues, planned, financed and executed by the government, and justified on grounds of national defense. Military and "strategic" security has top priority even at this time when many pointout that maintenance of a liveable environment must have top priority or there will be nothing worthconquering or defending. And of course there is the purely economic consideration that funds spent onwarheads and on drilling holes to test warheads could be used in urban renewal, inner-city reform,pollution abatement, education, birth control . . . The warhead on Amchitka is being tested and the sterile bald eagles are watching anxiously. Rapalong Hasselfree BOB FORCE Have you heard?

My final grade in this class was an F. To this day, I have NOunderstanding of the rationale behind this grade. In my psychology class, I failed to take the first half ofthe midterm due to a slight illness. The prof later informed me that I must obtain a note from my doctoror the health service in order to make up the test. No make up policy had been previously stated.Therefore I obtained a note signed by the health service, excusing my absence and was allowed to make up the first part of the midterm. My grade on this test was either a high D or a low C; this was nevermade clear to me by the professor. On the second half of the midterm I scored a high D, one pointbelow a C. We were informed in class not to be concerned if we were one point below the next highestgrade. The course final was also in two parts. On the first part, which was classified as item Fallcalendar is mouthpiece for politics analysis, I received a score of six. I have no idea what the classmean was, since when I asked prof to give me this information, he gave me the class median instead.According to the figures on the class distribution which was posted outside the professor's door therewere a total of 4 F's and at 10 A grades. Three of the F's scored absolute 0 as they did not bother totake all exams. My score was 72 and this number was translated as an F. Did the prof give any D's? Ifso, why didn't I deserve that grade? After expressing my opinion on this "fair grade" to the chairman ofthe psychology department and to Academic Dean R.D. Brown, I feel backed in a corner, like a rat in amaze. C. Rasmussen senior French Editor: Well, I looked at the "student" calendar for Fall quarter. Ialways find it fascinating when a student publication becomes the mouthpiece of a political faction oncampus. It's always a good sign when a student government becomes the mouthpiece of one politicalphilosophy and uses publications representative of the college and its students as the mouthpiece of itsown political views. Inclusion of "the Great Proletarian Revolution in China" more well known as theCommunist takeover of China, and the supposed "murder by the CIA Oct. 8, 1967" of Che Guevara,seems to me a sign of the immaturity of those elected to student offices. When student "leaders" usepublications representative of all s t u d e n t s on campus as expressions of their own political beliefs,whether they are John Birchers or SDSers, something must be wrong with both their leadership and their political beliefs. I hope these "leaders" would take their public offices more seriously and keep theirown political beliefs out- of publications representative of all students. Dan Windisch junior psychology Says housing more important than parking Dear Editor, From the outset this year two problems, whichwere before only major are now at the critical stage. These problems obviously are parking and housing. The question is which is more important. In the words of an incumbent officer during the recent cityprimary, when questioned by a student as to these problems: " . . . you (in so many words) can buy acar and drive like the rest of us . . . we will not go for any complex housing for students on the southside or anywhere. "The parking for projected enrollment . . . well, that's your problem." The evidence is,from this GET WITH THE CLOG! $ 10.95 It's status. It's in! With it!

I would say 8,500 students, each worth money, is a lot for a city of size of Bellingham to damn. Incidentally, this same officer in so manywords, said resident students are merely leeches because they pay no city or property tax. Thequestion, if there is one, remains which is more important housing or parking. For an increase from8,500 to 15,000 students the only answer is housing.

NEW YORK 13201 ---------- Western Front - 1969 October 7 - Page 6 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, October 7, 1969 ime troupe to do Brecht FORREST ANDERSON assistant tothe editor The San Francisco Mime Troupe will bring Bertolt Brecht's "Congress of the Whitewashes" tocampus Thursday. The nation's most popular "guerilla theater" will give the free performance at 3 p.m. in Red Square or at 3:30 p.m. in the auditorium in case of rain. The Mime Troupe has temporarilyabandoned its celebrated Italian Comedy style to present the first English language version of Brecht'slatest major work, translated by Juris Svendsen. The Troupe has been performing in San Francisco BayArea parks since 1962, passing their hats afterwards for a living. The revolutionary theater group iscurrently touring the Northwest after performing in parks since April. They have exported their "radicaltheater" to campuses around the country in recent years, including Western's. The group has toured the Northwest in recent years with the "Farce of Patelin" plus "Gutter Puppets and the Gorilla MarchingBand3"Ruzzante;" its anti-war pfay "L'Amant Militaire"; and the "Minstrel Show" or "Civil Rights in aCracker Barrel." The Mime Troupe's 10 actors perform "Congress of the Whitewashers " on a 12' x 20'wooden stage. The play was written for a cast of 40 using a revolving stage. The play's action takesplace in China and makes use of an old folktale. The Emperor has purchased all of China's cotton,monopolizing it by storing it in his Imperial Warehouses, but he can't afford to sell it until market valuesimprove. Kai Ho, a mysterious leader of the "clothingless," threatens revolution. People begin askingwhere the cotton is, so the Emperor calls a congress of the nation's intellectuals (Tuis, as Brecht callsthem) to convince the citizens of his innocence. The Emperor offers his daughter's hand (Turandot) toPlacement Office offers career program planning DON DE MARCO staff reporter lt; The Director of thecollege Placement Office, Frank Punches, and his administrative assistant, Mrs. Jean Her bold, willconduct open meetings for all interested Western students at 4 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Oct. 16 in L-3. Theprime responsibility of the Placement Office is to serve the student. Some of their available servicesinclude career counselling, college program planning, and the use of the occupational information library located in the -Placement Office foyer. For the Arts and Science major, there are many opportunitiesthroughout the year to interview for employment with personnel representatives from a large cross-section of American b u s i n e s s , industry, and government. These on-campus interviews are held inprivate rooms in the Placement Office. No matter what your class standing may be, if you areundecided about your future plans, attend either of the open meetings or contact the Placement Officesoon. 4th Anniversary CLEARANCE SALE This is the big one of the year at B.B. and a chance to really stock up at terrific savings.

Turandot, who is captivated by thinkers, favors her father's idea, until thecongress fails. She then becomes attracted to a gangster who wants to become a Tui, and the Emperor also believes that the crook can be used to restore public order. The resulting police state is the end ofthe old regime, Kai Ho overruns the capitol while the Emperor and the gangster are arguing. The MimeTroupe's adaptation of the play ridicules the thinkers and academicians of this country who refuse or are afraid to speak out against what they consider to be the fraud that has been created from the AmericanDream. The Troupe is dedicated to the idea of being a radical theater. "For several years we've been the cheerleaders of the left, but this year we wanted to try to make people think," Sandra Archer, veteranTroupe actess, said. "Politically this is the clearest, and the hardest play we've ever done," R.G. Davis, Troupe director, said. The Chinese opera, however, is still somewhat slapstick, with costumes, masks,dragon dances, and original live music. In addition to the play R.G. Davis will discuss "Radical Theater"at 3 p.m. Friday, in the VU Lounge. The outstanding feature of the Fairhaven skyline, â€”photo bygowrylow Fairhaven resides in ooze TED BESTOR staff reporter Like a soggy phoenix, the Fairhavencampus is gradually blossoming forth from the primeval ooze of its Hidden Valley site. Due to theuncompleted construction, mud is as yet the predominant feature of the campus. Fairhaven students,however, are proving themselves adaptable as they learn to cope with a lack of most of the benefits of adorm such as beds, phones, curtains, hot water and shower curtains. Only three of the fourteenbuildings are currently finished, while a fourth is hovering on the brink of completion. In the meantime,Fairhaven students are enjoying the steep climb up West Campus Way to the Ridgeway Commonswhere their meals will be served until Fairhaven facilities are available. Those student not living in the few completed dorms are scattered throughout the Bellingham area, living in faculty homes, with Westernstudents in the Hidden Valley Mobile Village, in privately arranged off campus housing and a few in aBaptist church in Lynden. Those living the farthest off campus will be the first to move into the newdorms as they are finished, since on-campus living is a Fairhaven requirement. Due to the Fairhavenhousing shortage, room changes will not be allowed except in the most extreme cases. The entireFairhaven complex is expected to be complete by the end of the Winter Quarter, according to LollySmith, Fairhaven adjuvant, who called the entire affair "an experiment in group living." Schwarz tolecture on Communist China Dr. Henry Schwarz, professor of history and political science, will present a public lecture on Communist China at 8 p.m. tomorrow in L-4. Last Wednesday marked the 20thanniversary of the establishment of Communist China. Schwarz joined the staff at Western this year asa half-time history and polictical science professor. Schwarz is a student of the Far East, specializing in China, and is currently involved in research concerning leadership in China based upon his own t r a n s l a t i o n of original documents. China is a case of the bark being worse than the bite, Schwarz said inan interview last week. "In spite of the violent language used by Peking against the United States, theactions have been most circumspect," he said. "China has bent over backwards to not get involved inVietnam."

The reported illness of Mao Tse-tung has caused somespeculation as to who will replace the 80-year-old party leader. While Lin Piao has been named heirapparent, there is nothing in the constitution to assure he will remain there, Schwarz said. According tothe professor, Lin lacks the backing to be a strong political leader. "He does not have any of the partyleaders and only a part of the army behind him," Schwarz said. "He's a good general, though." Twoother possible successors are Chou En-lai and Liu Shao-ch'i. The fact that Chou is premier and Liu was president is not really important, he said, The important thing is that they are members of the standingcommittee of the party. Liu was removed from the presidency by the party but such purges don't alwayslast, Schwarz said. "Liu could definitely be a contender."

To the members of the Western community: Your Committee on Government appointed inJanuary of this year hereby makes its report embodying a new constitution and by-laws for the college. Also included is a preamble, a critical agenda for the first Senate and sundry other matters related tothe processes of approving the constitution, electing the first Senate, Senators' responsibilities, a short"Bill of Rights," etc. In this introduction we will touch on each of these matters briefly, letting the maindocuments speak for themselves. The constitution and by-laws embody compromises of many kinds. Itcan be said that the representatives from faculty, students, administration and staff held their positionsand argued their cases forcefully, but that for the orderly government of Western all of them saw theneed to amend what were once rock-hard positions and to compromise what once seemeduncompromiseable views. These documents are blends of different outlooks. The distinction between the constitution and by-laws is at once obvious and difficult to make. Our intentions, of course, were toallow procedural changes to take place (via bylaws) without the necessity of submitting frequentconstitutional changes to the electorates, a troublesome process, and to try to retain in theconstitution, those substantive articles which order the basic mode of government in the college. Yet wecannot anticipate all the difficulties and problems which will beset the new government and Western.Related to this matter is the issue of how ratification of the constituion should proceed. We arerecommending that all four constituencies vote as such, and that a simple majority of "yes" votes fromeach and every constituency determine approval. If any constituency fails to ratify this constitution, aconference committee consisting of the chief officers of each of the four constituencies should beconvened by the Faculty Council to amend the proposed constitution in an effort to accommodateobjections. The amended constitution should then be re-submitted to the various constituencies forratification. Upon ratification, the President shall submit this constitution to the Board of Trustees with his recommendations. The ad hoc Committee on Government will, if the Faculty Council wishes,supervise the process of ratifying the constitution and it will phrase the question. Eachconstituency, with the assistance of its particular agency (Faculty Council, ASB, SEC and anAdministrative Committee of the Whole) shall hold the fereren-dum for its group and shall report theresults to the ad hoc Committee on Government, which shall in turn report the results to the President.Electing the first Senators is both a constitutional and procedural matter. We deal with this issue,therefore, in both the constitution and the by-laws, recommending that after the first Senators' termsare completed, one-half the new Senators be elected for one year and the other half for two years.Elections should thereafter be held for staggered terms so that all Senators' terms will be for a two-yearperiod, half of them being voted for every year. It is difficult if not impossible to list the duties andobligations of Senators in a Constitution, but we will suggest here the ideal: each Senator should take an all-college view of every issue so far as this is. possible. Senators should be expected to take broad,overall views, not narrow parochial ones. The good of Western is their constant aim. The "Bill of Rights"we propose is both simple and emphatic. In many ways it embodies the main point and purpose of theacademic life of the scholar and we hope it stands as a kind of motto to our dedication. It is recognizedthat the Board of Trustees is the legally constituted authority for the college. By virtue of experience,knowledge, training and traditions, however, it is the academic community which must assure theintegrity of programs authorized. In many and various domains of interest and knowledge the academiccommunity is and must be loyal to values not supplied to it by legislative mandate. It is therefore fittingand proper that in its internal affairs Western govern itself with its own constitution. Your Committee willhold an explanatory and review session open to the entire college community of these proposals asfollows: Time: 12-2 p.m. Date: Tuesday, Oct 14 Place: L-1 and at subsequent times to be announced.After the informational sessions with the college community we will make our final report to the FacultyCouncil, the body which created this committee. We are recommending that the Council schedule asimple "yes" or "no" vote of all constituencies as quickly as possible. Times and places for voting for thevarious constituencies will be announced. When a favorable vote is obtained from all constituencies we see no insuperable obstacles to electing the first Senators before the end of the Winter quarter andhaving them assume office at the beginning of the Spring term.

SUPPLEMENTARY REMARKS Concerning the individual rights-grievances-judicial issues which often arise on campus, your committee concluded that there was no need for anelaborate formal structure such as is found in many political systems. Rather, we thought that inaddition to the normal practice of seeking redress from the agencies, individuals or officers most closelyconcerned or involved in a particular case that the structures presently used in the variousconstituencies for seeking justice (Judicial Committee, Grievance Committee, Student Judicial Board,the various Deans' offices, etc.) were adequate and needed only our acknowledgment. The only newbody we suggestâ€”similar to the Grievance Committee of the present Faculty Councilâ€”is a proceduralcommittee of the Senate which would not administer grievance procedures nor act as a higher orappellate body, but would try to assure that appropriate grivance procedures were available to all collegepersonnel. The charge to this "Committee on Individual Rights and Grievances" might be to review forthe Senate and report to it on procedures to protect the individual rights of all college personnel. Thecommittee may find that certain of the existing procedures are appropriate. In other cases the committeemight find that FRED'S A W 310Samish Way Call In Orders 733-1512 the procedures are inadequate. In still other areas the committees may find there are no procedures that protect the rights of theindividual. Where the committee found the procedures inadequate or non-existent, it would be thecommittee's responsibility to recommend to the Senate appropriate changes or additional procedures.The Senate's Committee on Councils and Committees will, we trust, serve to nominate and coordinatemembership on all Senate councils and committes to insure a distribution of talent to match, insofar as possible, individual interest in serving with appropriate assignments, and to provide an overview ofwho is serving when and where. In sum, this committee should allocate talent to necessary activities and arrange suitable procedures for allowing members of the community some choice in their assignments. The Senate should first address itself to the ciritical formative questions posed elsewhere in thisdocument. As each new Commission, Council or Committee is appointed, the Senate shoulddetermine the time the new group becomes operational and when the old group or groups become non-operational. The ACC is the first body which the Senate will appoint. The ACC should carefully considerthe question of Cluster College and Cluster Program representation in its subcommittees. It appearsadvisable (and we have provided for such in the Constitution) that the ACC should have members fromthose colleges and. programs on subcommittees. We also leave to the Senate (especially to itsCommittee on Elections) many details of election procedure, but we trust that these can be worked outand incorporated in By-Laws. The Senate should consider the appointment not only of aParliamentarian from its members but also a Sergeant at arms, or equivalent officer, to maintain order.For purposes of easier communication with the Board of Trustees we hereby suggest the possibility ofasking the Board of Trustees to appoint one of its members to the Business and Finance Council withvoice but not vote. A system of computerized voting should be considered by the Senate for ease andefficiency or referenda, amendments, schoolwide ballots, elections, and the like. A room or "chamber"large enough for the Senate and its audience should be scheduled both for regular Senate meetings andExecutive Committee meetings. Lecture Hall 4 appears a possibility. Consideration should be given tomeans of identification of Senators on campus. A Constitution Review Committee should be appointedby the Senate early in its first term to keep the Senate informed on the successes and failures of theConstitution and By-Laws, and to draft modifications for the Senate's review in the form of newprovisions, amendments and the like.

The demonstrators, most from the University of British Columbia (UBC),staged a peaceful protest in the Peace Arch Park near Blaine, Wash. The protest concerned the AECtest last Thursday on Amchitka island in the Aleutian island chain. The 1.2 megaton blast is only thefirst in a series of tests. Later tests will range up to 5 megatons. The students feared possible e a r t h q u a k e s from the underground blast, and other conceivable side-effects. Mike Doyle, member of theUBC's 7-man executive board, stated that the non-violent- Blaine-Douglas crossing was said to havebeen the largest of the series of demonstrations. "The Canadian Government has been too lax inprotesting the tests," Sharon Jackson, a student at UBC, said. "They issued a strong diplomatic protest and that's all. "If there is any possibility of damage, why should we allow it." Americans present at the demonstration had strong opinions about the Canadians' actions. "I don't approve of anything thatdowngrades the American or Canadian people," Bill McGhee, Park Ranger, said. McGhee was referringto the demonstrators who held poles with the American flag hanging upside down, as well as an attempt by the students to lower the American flag which flies on top of the white peace arch in the park.protest was staged to indicate a dissatisfaction of the tests on the grounds that insufficient evidence had been accumulated as to what the possible effects may be. Our rationale is not that there definitely willbe an earthquake resulting from the rest, but that the tests should be suspended until sufficientknowledge has been gained on the possible results, he said. There is a chance of radiation seepageinto the water, Doyle said. "One of the greatest salmon wintering grounds could be threatened, as wellas one of the finest wildlife preserves." The protest was only one of many staged along the 3,000 mileCanadian-U.S. border. The One American woman criticized the demonstration as not beingrepresentative enough. The students protested only the United States tests, not Russia's or Red China's tests, which isn't logical, she said. The protest had its own difference of opinion as a splinter groupcharged that the main group had compromised on the demonstration. They were referring to anagreement made with border officials that the students would block the main route into Canada but thetruck route would remain open. This meant that the students, who planned on stopping traffic â€”photosbygowrylow into Canada to indicate their dissatisfaction, found no cars to stop. The splinter group ofabout 300 trekked the mile eastward to Pacific 99, and sat in the middle of the road, blocking traffic.Guards were reported as being irate, but no incidents occurred. The students left after several threats,believing that they had proven their point.

The game was the opener of Evergreen Conferenceaction for both teams. Diedrick, taking over for starting quarterback Tommy Thompson early in the finalquarter, threw touchdown passes of 10 and 16 yards to end Randy Kramer and fullback Tom Manke.The game until then had been a vicious defensive battle with three missed field goals, two attempted byWestern's Lance Wilson. Western's lone score, an 81 yard pass from Steve Kearby to halfback TomFrank, came with less than three minutes remaining. A subsequent onside kick attempt by the Viksfailed. N u m e r o u s s c o r i ng opportunities were set up to no avail by the Viking defense in the third quarter. Defensive end Mike Tasker and tackle Mick Spane recovered fumbles on Eastern's 27 and 30yard line, while halfback Mike Erion intercepted a pass on the Eastern 42 yard line. Both Vikingquarterbacks, Glenn Hadland and Kearby, saw action in an attempt to get the offense moving. Westernwas held to a -9 yards net rushing and 93 passing. Eastern picked up 111 yards through the air and 252 on the ground. Halfback Mel Collins was the game's leading rusher, carrying 27 times for 150 yards.The loss was Western's second of the season. Two weeks ago, Western was crushed by Cal Poly ofSan Luis Obispo, 44-0. Eastern brought its record to 1-2. Western's next action comes this Saturdayagainst defending Evco champ Central.

If you've ever resorted to NoDoz* at 4 a.m.the night before an exam, you've probably been disappointed. NoDoz, after all, is no substitute for sleep.Neither is anything else we can think of. What NoDoz is is a very strong stimulant. In fact, NoDoz has the strongest stimulant you can buy without a prescription. Caffeine. What's so strong about that? Ifwe may cite The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics: Caffeine is a powerful central nervous stimulant. Caffeine excites all portions of the central nervous system. Caffeine stimulates all portions of thecortex, but its main action is on the psychic and sensory functions. It produces a more rapid and clearerflow of thought and allays drowsiness and fatigue. After taking caffeine, one is capable of moresustained intellectual effort and a more perfect association of ideas. There is also a keenerappreciation of sensory stimuli. Very interesting. But why take NoDoz when you can get caffeine in acup of coffee? Very simple. You take NoDoz all at once instead of sipping coffee for 10 minutes. And if you take two NoDoz tablets, the recommended dosage, you get twice the caffeine in a cup of coffee.Two tabletsâ€”isn't that likely to be habit forming? Definitely not. NoDoz is completely non-habit forming.Which means it's safe to take whether you're cramming at night. Or about to walk into an 8 o'clock class. Or driving somewhere (even though you're rested) and the monotony of the road makes you drowsy.One last thing you should know about NoDoz. It now comes in two forms. Those familiar white pills youtake with water. And a chewable tablet called NoDoz Action Aids". It tastes like a chocolate mint, butit does everything regular NoDoz does. And if you've managed to stay awake this long, you know that's quite a lot. T.M.C1969 Bristol-My BELLINGHAM'S RED CARPET THEATRE F O X H H I Across Street T. BAKER 106 N.

Last Spring astudent-faculty committee made the revision in requirements. "The principal need for revision was toprovide a more practical training for teachers and coaches," Dr. William Tomaras, director of men's PE,said. "The change reorganized the professional activities series of courses for majors and minors. "Indoing so we added more courses and techniques of various sports." One change limited one course toone sport, where previously two or three sports were in each of a series of professional courses. Asecond change made a more practical pre-student-t e a c h i n g , cadet-teaching experience, usinggeneral education activity courses as laboratories. Each major is required to cadet teach in threeactivity courses, assisting the instructors and teaching under their supervision. The student cancomplete his major under old requirements or switch to the new ones. The PE department will modifythe cadet teaching experience (PE 401m) to include one experience, or three experiences (one crediteach) for those following the new requirements. Tomaras said the curriculum changes would not delaygraduation. Soccer club begins season at B.C.I.T.

Western battled Eastern for three scoreless quarters, before the Savages brokethe ice for two touchdowns. Both Whitworth and Western should give their opponents plenty of troublethis weekend.
