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

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

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

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

All Gory folks of school Satire by Dan Smith Theeducational system of the tiny Republic of Demokratia was falling apart. Students, heady with freedom,had recently divided the State University into five sovereign nations, thus making the administrationprocess a bit cumbersome. As a result, an education expert was sent to the United States of El Dorado,possessor of a legendary educational system, paved with gold. On arriving in El Dorado, Ed U. Kayshun(the Demokratians were famous for their droll sense of humor), the education expert was taken to Break'em Young University, where he received a shock. The students were lined up goose-stepping into thedean's office where each received a whack on the head with a mallet. Shock number two came whenKayshun saw a student chained to his desk. "Oh, he's a hard-headed liberal arts major who just refusesto learn differential calculus," explained the dean. "But what's the use of forcing it down him?" queriedKayshun. "This nation was built on equality! Everyone is gonna come out the same if it kills him!" At that point the dean looked at the student's paper. "What! Only 98 out of 100 correct. Do not pass, do notcollect an "A," go directly back to where you started!" Kayshun, in sympathy with the poor student whoappeared in shock, offered to take him out and buy him a beer, or a coke of he wasn't old enough."School policy forbids that, sir," answered the student. "Mercy above, hands that touch the demon Colashall never shake mine." "Tell me what you really think of this place," said Kayshun. "The judiciousremonstrances create a certain a-propos quid pro quo, strictly in a de facto sense. Or, in Chinese, acertain Teng Shung, translatable as Mystic Harmonious Septum. Or . . ." Kayshun went home to makehis report. Accordingly, the republic of Demokratia became the Kingdom of Tyrannia and adopted the ElDorado method. Within a few years, the students had revolted, occupied the University buildings anddeclared them a sovereign nation. "Perhaps we didn't do something right," suggested the King. So, onceagain, Kayshun was off to El Dorado. "Are you sure you brought me to the right place?" asked Kayshun. His question was prompted by the fact that the University had changeditsnametotheNow Placeof YourThing! andby the sight of the dean locked in a stockade, being paddled by the students. "Of . . . OW . . .course," the dean yelped. "The students are simply notifying me of the new rules against short hair, longskirts and â€” ha, ha â€” right-handedness." Later, Kayshun visited a class on Transcendental Macrame, which two students had organized. It was report card day and they both received "A's". "It's really quitesimple," explained the instructor. "In order to be true to the principles of equality, we cannot possibly onlygrade those who are attending school, but must grade the entire population. Since these two are the only ones attending this class they get "A's." Everyone not enrolled will naturally get failing grades."Kayshun went over to talk to one of these remarkable students who was capable of organizing his ownclass. "Excuse me/ What is this class about and what books have you read?" "Read . . .oh, man. . . I'm black and white and everything is reeeed . . . all over . . . red, white and bluuuue . . . Oh wow! It's theMan . . . don't let him take my rock records away." "No, no, it's okay . . . what do you think about thisplace?" "Well, it's like, great, wow, you know, far out, it's the neatest coolest Mother (Bleep) in the world, dude. Hay, next time you come from Tyrannia, can you bring me a six-pack of Coprs?" ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 5 ---------- Friday, February 13,1976 Western Front 5 Letters Pot: 'Eat every herb' Action seen as protest againstEditor, Western Front: American policy, student apathy This letter is in reference to "Pot leaves, crosses stirring controversy." Contrary to what was insinuated in this letter, some "devout Christians" so indulge in marijuana. Gen. 3:16 â€” "The Earth brought forth grass, and herb bearing seed after his kind . . .and God said, 'Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth,and every tree in lt; gt; which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed, to you it shall be meat." Exod.10:12 â€” "Eat every herb of the land." Prov. 15:17 â€” "Better is a dinner of herbs where love is than astalled ox and hatred therewith." Further, what was said about protest I find totally inadequate for thepresent situation. I see the appearance of marijuana leaves in windows as a way of expressing beliefthat marijuana should be legalized. These people should not be downgraded simply because theirs isa symbolic expression . . .

Yearsago, Bowie benefitted from the advantages of a multi-million dollar publicity hype and the coaching of one of the few innovative geniuses in the rock industry. Cherry Vanilla manipulated the industry movers with her sexual favors, much as John Lennon had with his intellect. However', the hype was deserved. Hewas surrounded by extremely competent musicians and engineers and rode the crest of a creative tidein hard rock music. Bowie now suffers the fate of an actor without a role, surviving the business onlybecause of his salable name. The monied interests have remodeled his image and sent out "The ManWho Sold the World" again, only this time as a venture in crass commercialism. The show began withseveral subliminal psychological tricks stolen from Jethro Tull's "Passion Play" tour anddegenerated from there. The musicians were pathetically inadequate to back up a voice like Bowie's.Although the band was bad, the engineers must have been asleep. The concert was plaguedconstantly by feedback, improper volume levels, and a lack of mid-range frequencies, the guitars beingdivided between extreme treble and bass. All the show provided was Bowie's voice and that little bit of stage presence he salvaged from an earlier era. No Mr. Donker, Bowie's Seattle concert was worse than bad . . . it was unprofessional. Gary Bowden Senior Editor, Western Front: In response to the potleaves letter, I applaud the actions of lower campus students. Ted Brancate and Matt Shaw haveequated this dissident action to an 'obvious' disapproval of 'cardboard Christian crosses.' However, myappraisal of the situation is entirely different. I see this protest as an outpouring of dissatisfaction withthe wholly absurd and unjust acts of security in an attempt to enforce the asinine restrictions placed onuse of a harmless weed. The authors of this absurd letter say that these actions 'display a behaviorunbefitting of any college-aged individual.' In my estimation, any action that can be determined to be aprotest against the injustice of American policy in this, a bicentennial year, must be applauded as anaction befitting all Americans of any age. Ted and Matt continue by charging the perpetrators of thishonorable action of disregard for the feelings and convictions of others. I beg you, Ted and Matt,show some respect and regard yourself. In this age of passive acceptance, I applaud any action thatmoves to destroy the apathy college students bathe themselves in. Students of the lower campus, Iapplaud your actions of protest against the oppressive policies of this nation. I would appreciate one of your leaves to display in my residence off campus. Viva freedom, an end to tyranny. Robert CaudleSenior There's no controversy Editor, Western Front: This letter is being written as a response to theletter in the Feb. 6 Front, written by Ted Brancato and Matt Shaw. I don't think there's a controversyover the pot leaves and the crosses. I think it is a form of demonstrating by two groups of individuals that have separate beliefs. One group is into God and the other into pot. If one group is forced to removetheir emblems of faith, then the other-should be also. Think about it. That doesn't sound like democracyto me. This is supposed to be a free country, so everyone should be able to voice (or demonstrate) their beliefs openly. There are many types of people in this community, and if we are to peacefully co-exist,there must be give-and-take by all parties involved. JaldDodson Nash Hall Pot leaves are free expression Editor, Western Front: This is in response to the letter regarding the representation of marijuanaleaves in dorm windows. As an originator and supporter of this so-called "protest," I object to theattitude of Ted Brancato and Matt Shaw. First of all, when I put the marijuana leaf in my window, it wasneither in disapproval nor in retaliation of the cardboard crosses in some of the windows. I put it in mywindow as an expression of my beliefs and convictions. It's too bad that some of the people on thiscampus are having a difficult time grasping the idea of respecting these beliefs and convictions. Inresponse to the opinion that the originators and supporters of this "aggressive attitude" are"displaying behavior unbefitting of any college-aged individual," forgive me, but I was never giveninstructions concerning what behavior does befit college-aged individuals. If displaying the properbehavior means not expressing oneself the way one finds it necessary to do so, then I want no part of it. I have no desire to cause "dissonance among Western students," but neither do I have any desire tobe told how I may express myself, nor how I should behave. ' Putting the marijuana leaves in thewindows was not intended as a malicious or aggressive act anymore than displaying the crosses was. A few people got together one afternoon and decided we wanted to express ourselves, just as thedevout Christians have done. If the leaves have caused anyone to suffer, then I apologize for my part inthe offense. But the leaf will remain oh my window.

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

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

"It took a couple of weeks to get used to the sounds coming out of there" says Cindy Davis, ticket taker at the State. Occasional inquiries from out of towners about"where the action is" and rarer flashes by exhibitionists are the only unusual incidents she's experienced. She said customers are usually friendly coming into the theater, but eye contact is hard to get on theway out. Being the first live girl encountered in their departure, Cindy said she often wonders if she'sbeing fantasized about by male customers. Single males make up most of the State's business, butcouples are not infrequent. Ages run generally in the mid to late thirties, according to Charles DeCoster,co-owner of the State. "We've found college-age people are generally unprepared for hardcore," DeCoster said. Most people who walk out in the middle of a show are college-age couples, he said. DeCosterdescribed a typical departure as the girl coming out first, striding for the door, staring CINDY DAVIS â€”Ticket veifdoi straight ahead. The guy follows about ten feet behind looking at the floor. Another eroticfilms theater DeCoster ran #i an Illinois college town was very popular with student audiences. He said he feels students at Western are less interested in films than students in other areas. $ Until August,1976, the State was a floundering theater featuring films similar to Fairhaven's The Picture Show. ThenDeCoster switched to erotic films and business improved considerably, despite an admission increasefrom $1 to $3.

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

Tobring this "accountability" to government, CC works for the citizen's right to know, opening congressionalcommittee and federal agency meetings to the people and press, and urging financial disclosure bypoliltical candidates and office holders. Reeves says he was surprised by the cordial reactions oflegislators towards him. "I used to have a negative attitude towards government, but now I realize most ofthe people here are trying to do a good job," he said. Friday the 13th not all that bad Don't lose yourhead and/or get married â€” it's Friday the 13th. Marriage on a Friday is supposed to cause infidelity inone or more of the partners, according to voodoo legend. Through the years Friday was traditionally used as the day of execution, and was frequently germed "hangman's day." Named after the Norsegoddess Freya, the day was originally reserved for a festival in her honor. According to legend,when the people stopped worshipping her, she brought ill fortune. Norse legend also deemed 13unlucky because the god Loki intruded at a banquet of 12 guests, and his power brought the death of the hero Balder. In Greek legend, the curse on the House of Atreus brought death to King Agamemmnon on January 13. Christianity picked up 13 as an unlucky number with Christ and his twelve disciples at the last supper. Christ was crucified on Friday and Adam was expelled from Paradise on Friday. Adamrepented and died on Friday. Historically, Friday the 13th has seen a variety of events in the U.S.:impeachment proceedings were begun against Andrew Johnson in March, 1868; Woodrow Wilson was the first President to set foot on foreign soil in December, 1918; the first woman senator, H.O.W.Caraway of Arkansas was elected in November, 1931; and Cora Sterling of Seattle was the first womanappointed to an aerial police force in 1934. So it doesn't have to be a bad day. Besides, it's the first day of the quarter that's followed by a three day weekend.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Name Adddress City State Zip Â© Copyright 1976 Bennett Publishing Co. ---------- Western Front - 1976 February 13 - Page 16 ---------- *** 16 Western Front Friday, February 13,1976 Nakamichi 500 Dual-Tracer From the makers of theIndustry Standard in cassette decks The Nakamichi 1000 The worlds best cassette deck!!! The Focusof Interest The new Nakamichi 500 Dual-Tracer was designed to be the most advanced two-headcassette deck ever made. From the standpoint of extended flat frequency response, noise, dynamicrange, wow flutter, and speed stability the Nakamichi 500 will outperform any other cassette recorderwith the exception of our own Tri-T racers. Nor is this surprising, for in creating the 500, Nakamichiengineers employed much of the advanced technology developed for the Tri-T racers. The tape transport,for example, uses a servo-controlled D.C. motor for rock-steady speed and features automatic end-off-tape shut-off with complete mechanical disengagement. But the real design triumph of the Nakamichi 500 is its Focused-Gap, a miracle of precision assembly. By critically maintaining a focused gap of 1.5microns, more signal can be put on the tape (particularly at high frequencies) with lower distortion. Andmaintaining this same critical width in playback, assures extended high frequency response to beyond17,000 Hz. A host of other features, such as Dolby NR circuitry, a three position tape selector and 45 dB peak level meters don't begin to tell the quality story of this extraordinary machine. For the best, you'llhave to listen and learn.
