Studentemployees want their hourly wages raised to $2.65 per hour from $2.30, in acacordance with the newfederal increase. A group of employees headed by Martin Reeves, an AS Board member, isconsidering several actions to get the wage raised which include: â€”Asking the All-University Senate to issue a mandate to the administration for the new wage. â€”Asking department heads to recommend to the administration that the new wage be implemented. â€”Staging a work walk-out. Reeves said thechance of a walk-out is slim, but it will be used as a "last resort." Mary Robinson, acting vice presidentfor student affairs, said when the budget for student employee wages was made one and a half yearsago, the administration did not anticipate the government raising the minimum wage. As a result, theraise was not figured in the budget, she said. Reeves said he was told by a ...

Reevescharged that students are being used as "pawns." If administrators can go to the legislature and saythey have students who are upset over an inequity between wages, they will have a "tool" which theycan use to get more money, Reeves said. Robinson disagreed with Reeves' analysis. She said whenthe budget for work-study wages was made, the administration anticipated the raise and it was figured into the I THINK I'M WINNING! â€” "Irish" Gary Cassidy looks quite confident between rounds in bis fightwith Kevin Anderson Rape a 'product of our culture' Saturday at Carver Gym.

Myths surrounding rape challenged by GWEN COLLINS Most rapists are normal people conforming to the male sex role of aggressiveness anddominance, a Rape Relief Workshop volunteer said last week. "Rape is a product of our culture,"volunteer Greg Holli-day said, "violence is encouraged and condoned in the whole society." PeggyStocking, another volunteer, and Holliday shattered prevalent myths surrounding rape and suggestedpreventative measures at the workshop in Fairhaven Lounge Wednesday night. About 25 men andwomen attended. A major common myth is that victims seldom know the rapist, Holliday said. Actually,one-third are acquaintances and one-third are strangers. Most rapists have a normal sex life but agreater tendency toward violence, Holliday said. "It's a violent act." Rape is legally defined as an act ofpenetration by any object against a person's will or without consent, Stocking said. The local RapeRelief received 79 reports of rape, or "attempted rape, between May 1975 and May 1977. InWhatcom County, rape incidents are highest at Western and the High Street residences, Rape Relief said. The highest number of rape victims are women around 18- 25, Stocking said. However, victimsrange from six months to 93 years. In most cases they don't "ask for it," she added^ denying anothercommon myth. About one-third of rapes are in the home, one-third in cars and one-third outdoors or inpublic facilities â€” such as restrooms or libraries, Stocking said. The number of rapes reported topolice is increasing, she said. In Whatcom County one of every seven victims reporting to Rape Reliefinform the police, she said. The FBI estimates a rape occurs every 11 minutes. Holliday denied thatmost rapes are spontaneous. He said . about 75 percent of cases with one rapist are premeditated.Stocking suggested some preventative measures for rape and other crimes which includ- Continued on Page 2 budget. She said Western would like to pay student employees the same wage as work-studyemployees, but funds are not available. A study of each department's budget by the Controller's Office to determine if enough â€¢ money is available to pay student employees the new wage should becompleted by Feb. 15. Reeves said the money is already there. He cited a study The library, whichemploys more than 20 percent of the student employees, has the money to pay the new wage,but was told it could not by the administration, Robert Cross, a library administrator, said. madeby Cathy Dudik, Student Employment Center director, that showed 20 departments had allocatedmoney for student employee wages, but currently employ no students through state funds. Thelibrary, which employs more than 20 percent of the student employees, has the money to pay the newwage, but was told it could not by the administration, Robert Cross, a library administrator, said.Robinson said the administration is merely trying to be fair. The administration doesn't want onedepartment to pay students the new wage while another cannot. "That's administrative doubletalk,"Reeves said. "They've given work-study employees the pay increase and "They've given work-studyemployees the pay increase and work-study students are working side by side student employeesdoing the exact same jobs." work-study students are working side by side student employeesdoing the exact same jobs." Student employees will meet to discuss which actions to take at 3 p.m.Wednesday in L-2. Inside Half-way house A jail exists in Bellingham where women prisoners can walkthrough unlocked doors.

Huxley Faculty Handbook revisions, proceedings regardingthe possible closure of Fairhaven College and the status of Western's governance change proposalswere also considered by the board. Western will spend a total of $399,000 on the Lakewooddevelopment project, headed by the AS Program Commission. The $149,000 which the boardapproved, was a 60 percent increase from the original sum of $250,000 approved several months ago forthe project. Donald Cole, vice president for business and financial affairs, said the original costprojections were made in ignorance of the environmental conditions of the site. "We grosslyunderestimated site cost regarding drainage and soil conditions. We're now more concerned with theaesthetic and environmental aspects of the area," he said. The extra $149,000 was needed for properdrainage, sewers and parking lots, plus a 10 percent increase because of the year's delay ofconstruction, Cole said. The increase came after a new architectural firm, Burke and Associates ofSeattle, were chosen to replace Olson, Richert, and Bignold, a firm that withdrew its services Sept. 28.In other board action, Huxley College Faculty Handbook revisions were tabled. Michael Mischaikow,acting dean of Huxley, presented the revisions as an informational item. Board members. Ark Chin,Jerrold Manley and Robert Fernald questioned several sections of the handbook, pointing outambiguities in the definition for faculty committees and confusing wording of criteria for tenure andpromotion. Other sections were "hard to follow," Board Chairman Chin and members Manley and Fernald said. Confusion about the revisions was apparent â€” Mischaikow thought they were merely beingpresented as informational items, while the board understood them to be up for a vote. Chin suggestedthey be postponed, leading to the board's tabling action. University President Paul Olscamp informed the board of the status of discussions concerning possible closure of Fairhaven College. He indicated a deep division of opinion exists among faculty members about the future of the college. He cited a recent split vote (9-9) by the Dean's Advisory Council over a recommendation to close Fairhaven. TheCouncil is composed of university department chairmen and unit heads. Olscamp said he would waituntil the end of February for James Talbot's, vice president for academic affairs, recommendations before making a final recommendation about Fairhaven to the board. Olscamp also told the board of the status of University governance change proposals, first proposed in October. Olscamp said he is formulating a third proposal incorporating in it responses to his two previous proposals from students, faculty, staffand administrators. He said the proposal will address three major concerns outlined in campusconstituency responses: the proposed executive council and whether it will become "another Senate,"the provision the College Services Council report to the AS and the president's non-voting membership on the executive council. Olscamp said he agrees with the faculty council that his proposedmembership is a constitutional issue which faculty should decide, and he has withdrawn his proposedmembership. He said the proposal will be ready by the board's March meeting. Stapleton, Christianity: Carter's sister speaks out by PAT KING Ruth Carter Stapleton, the President's sister, spoke onvictorious Christian Living, Larry Flint and coping with life's challenges to a packed house Saturday nightat Calvary Temple church in Belling-ham. Stapleton, 47, told the crowd of about 1,300 that Christianity means accepting people just as they are, not trying to correct the weak points in their characters.The Holy Spirit comes in and changes people, she explained. "Christians* must take that firstaggressive step to reach out to people in need," the evangelist said. Stapleton is a self-starting,Charismatic-Pentecostal Christian with a soothing Southern drawl. Her deep blue eves RUTH CARTER STAPLETON communicated warmth, openness and sincerity. "Hallelujahs and praise-the- Lordsdon't make everything all right," she said. People must heal resentment and bitterness, she said."Christians must grow secure enough, strong enough, to respond to the world with love. We have a big job to do here on earth," she said. Stapleton said she never really "knew Jesus" until she was 29. Untilthen, she merely had acted religious. At a retreat, a psychologist looked through her religious motionsand told her she was a beautiful person on the inside. She was told this after she had spilled her guts tohim for five hours. "We're not perfect," she said. "But if human beings can love us unconditionally, andcan say 'Wow! you're beautiful on the inside!' think how much more God can love us," Staple-ton said.Teenage prostitution Women turn tricks for a fix "Christianity is not a cop-out. We don't run fromanything," she said. Larry Flint, publisher of Hustler magazine, recently became a Christian andStapleton was largely responsible for this. Flint has received bundles of hate mail and calls fromChristians, Stapleton said. "The world has told him to prove himself as a Christian," she said. "Veryfew Christians have called or wrote Larry to say, hang in there, we're praying for you brother," she said.Flint, a baby Christian (new to the faith), was recently questioned about his doctrinal beliefs inWashington, D.C., by five mature Christians to determine if he would be a sound speaker at theirchurch, Stapleton said. Flint, bitter and fed up with his non-acceptance, resonded, "I have gottenmore love from whores and pimps since I became a Christian than I have from Christians. Churchesshould be used as health food stores." Stapleton said her family and the Flints visited together, talked about life and raising children. They accepted each other. "Larry and I were going nowhere during aphone call one day, and we were about to hang up, when I said, 'People can do anything they want ifthey have the will-power,' " Stapleton said. "That got Larry interested. That was our contact point," shesaid. Stapleton would not comment on nuclear power, homosexuality or the Mideast situation. "There is a whole chapter on homosexuality in my book," she said. Her book is called "Inner Healing." "Jesusloves you, and He will help you overcome the rugged times in life. That is a key thought to carry withyou," she said. by DIANE BRAINARD Only when society redefines male and female sexuality willprostitution laws change, Jennifer James told a packed Arntzen Hall lecture room audience Friday.James, from the University of Washington Medical School of psychiatry and behavioral sciencesdepartment, spoke on urban ecology and prostitution. She has done extensive research on subcultures in the city as a function of ecological factors, Her particular interest is the study of prostitution, juveniledelinquency and teenage prostitution. The speech was sponsored by the sociology department. Jameswants to see prostitution decriminalized. She said many women are forced into prostitution throughtrouble at home and heroin addiction. Once labeled a_prostitute, it is difficult to reenter society, she said. James diagrammed the sexual role of women on a "whore-madonna" spectrum. "Most of us (women)spend most of our lives deciding where to be on this spectrum," she said. The sexual role of men isportrayed on a "sissy-stud" spectrum. James said men push to be studs. Being a stud depends on aman's economic, athletic and sexual success. The quantity of his sex life is what counts, not thequality, she said. James said these sexual roles are changing, however. James has done extensiveresearch on prostitution from the point of view of the prostitute, the pimp and the customer. Two mainconcerns of the prostitute are professionalism and danger. A professional is respected; she is a lady anda star, while a "flaky whore" is obvious, attracting the police and disrupting the community, James said.Prostitutes are also afraid of being beaten by customers, James said. They can do nothing, becausethey are physically weaker and cannot turn to police for protection. ^ The pimp has been labeled bysociety as the^ "monster," James said. "Society can't see their relationship clearly because they thinkthe pimp is living off her," she said. Pimps exist because society thinks something is wrong with awoman without a man. "Respect in this society is to have a man," James said. A pimp buys a prostitutesafety and status. Another reason for the pimp is love, she said. "Everybody needs somebody to loveand be loved by," she said. Society has labeled sex an activity for the young and successful.Prostitution provides the customer with a safe way to build up the quality of his sex life, James said.Prostitutes are paid to protect the customer with sexual problems, and to provide an illusion to make theman feel sexually successful, James said. Rape prevention discussed Continued from Page 1 ed selfdefense training and acting with confidence when in danger. AlthoughRapaRelief counsels rape victims,nonprofessional counseling from friends is also helpful, Holliday said. "It is important to support,encourage and validate the feelings of the victim. "Guilt is a common feeling," he said. Therefore,nonjudge-mental support is vital. People need to remember rape is a violent crime. Native American tospeak here Bea Medicine, a native American anthropologist, will speak Thursday at the first MinorityAffairs Town Hall Speakers Symposium. Her speech, entitled "Native American Women, CulturalChange and the Larger Society," is at 3 p.m. in Lecture Hall 4. Medicine was born and raised on theStanding Rock Reservation in South Dakota.

They'd rather the sentence vere suspended." â€” Katy Murphy, speaking to a local jroup. A "jail" exists in Bellingham vhere prisoners cook their own ood, where their children can rtsit and theycan walk through allocked doors. The "jail" is actually a house vhere women prisoners, coop-rating withjudges and the fWCA, can serve their sen-ences with a life style similar o home, Murphy, director of heprogram, said. The program for women of-enders is federally funded hrough the Law Enforcement\ssistants Administration, part f the Justice Department. By providing job training, iccess to communitycollege md an atmosphere "like lome," the people involved lope to put the women in ociety and not back in jail. "We're trying to make them ielf sufficient," Murphy said, 'teach them independence and elfreliance." Nine persons staff the house eight-hour shifts. They come rom such organizations as 3STA,VISTA, YWCA and the luman Services Program at Western. Living arrangements uclude separatesleeping quarters for the staff and prisoners md shared kitchen and recrea-ional facilities, she said.The program is available to women as soon as they are arrested, although it is up to the judges whetherthey are sentenced there. Once the women are sentenced to jail, lowever, they cannot be removedand placed in the house. Terms in the community louse last from three to six nonths. Prisoners mustfollow certain guidelines while living here. For their first month .of resi-lency, prisoners must check in9very two hours. After that, jvery four. Exceptions to this are for school, jobs and Alco-lolics Anonymous, Murphy ;aid. No drinking is allowed. Guests and "the women's greatest concern," their children, areallowed to visit until 11 FRIDAYS 2- 4pm at C C M NEW GAMES p.m. There are no over night stays. "The women can't sit around the house and be babysat, either," Murphy said. Rent, gas and utilitiesmust be met, and the women are asked to contribute $85 monthly. If they are not working, they aregoing to school and welfare pays. The women also buy their own food. Furnished by donations, thehouse has television, books, games and cards for residential use. Most of the women in the house were arrested for economic crimes, as are 80 percent of all women arrested, Murphy said. "The policedepartment is amazingly supportive," Murphy said.

The program originated when alocal judge was "aghast" at the facilities he found for women in the county jails: women were put insolitary confinement, with no access to recreational facilities. The judge hopes to start a communityservice program and the YWCA was the only organization to take women, Murphy said. YWCA's firstapplication for a federal grant was denied. With a second application, it obtained a grant on a three-year basis. The first year, Project Outreach was created. This program is designed to help women who werenot sentenced, but put on probation or parole. A year later, a household with two prisoners wasestablished, and the third year as many residents as eight were allowed. They have never housed morethan four, how-aver. Similar community house programs exist in Seattle and Tacoma. "We are notprobation people, and we're not sure we change them very much, but until now there has been no placebut home or jail," Murphy said. "And some people don't belong either place." Business college booms reflecting national trend by BOB SIMS Western's business classes are bursting with new majors,reflecting a trend sweeping the country. Robert Collier, dean of the college of Business andEconomics, (CBE), reported an 18 percent increase in student credit hours over a one-year periodending fall quarter. The jump led all departments at Western. Collier cited a recent American Councilon Education (ACE) report that listed 23 percent of this year's entering freshmen as specifying "apreference for one of the majors offered in CBE." It was the highest preference indicated for business inthe history of ACE studies. Despite the overwhelming demand for a business education at Western,the transfer of resources to CBE is much lower than the college average, which in turn has stifledgrowth, Collier said. In a January 1978 self-study report for the Northwest Association of Schools andColleges, cost per credit hour invested in CBE was $18, compared to a campus average of $25. Colliersaid two major plans are in the works. New proposals will not be revealed until two accreditationteams, currently evaluating the campus, complete their 10-year study of faculty, administration,educational programs, facilities and students soon. Collier said one major program has a 75percent chance, of going through, but would not reveal its specifics. hkrested h GownmetftEmployment? heart H.0ccrae frederkkyon PRÂ©.

University President Paul Olscamp is not one of those few. Olscampinstead exhibits such tactics as intimidation and disrespect. He treats his opposition to spiteful ridiculeand contemptuous humor. He is a funny, funny man. At Thursday's Board of Trustees meeting Olscamp directed a series of barbs at the Front and the reporter attending the meeting. The incident, while minor,is the latest example of the president's vindictive tactics. Earlier this quarter Olscamp instructed theFront to print a copy of his second, lengthy governance proposal to coincide with the Jan. 20 publicationof the same proposal in FAST. The text, if printed, would have included at least five pages ofunnecessary information and two pages of the president's original proposal. It is the Front's policy toreport and interpret the news as we see fit. Olscamp seemed hurt because his wishes were not met andhe showed his displeasure in the form of public ridicule. Had he called us we would have been happy toexplain our decision. After the meeting our reporter had to confront confused trustees. They wanted toknow why we had refused space for the president. One trustee told our reporter she "should havestomped her foot" and demanded the proposal be printed. What Olscamp and the trustees did not realize is the Front is written by student reporters and all decisions are made by the editorial staff. They are notmade by the president of a university. In all fairness, we printed a front page article Jan. 17 spelling out the same information contained in the proposal in precise, easy to read English. In addition, numerousarticles concerning the governance procedure have appeared in past issues. Our job is to keep Westerninformed by objectively covering the news. It is not to serve as a mouth piece for anyone requestingpublicity. The president's job is to serve as a dignified leader in matters concerning higher education. It isnot to order, ridicule, kick or scream in such a manner. Scraping bottom What will the SecurityDepartment think of next? Did you know it is illegal to have expired parking stickers on your car? Neither did I, but I found out the hard way. Last week when I returned to my car at the end of the day, I found aticket on my windshield. Confused, I looked at the ticket, and on the small pink slip that accompaniedthis statement was checked, "expired permits and area designators shall be removed before the newpermit and designator are attached." The first thing that came into my mind was, how many cars do yousee with expired parking stickers in their rear windows? It's almost a mark of prestige to show how longyou've been in school. I took my ticket into the security office for an explanation. I was told by an officerthat the color of the parking sticker is changed on a rotating basis and eventually the same color would be used again. I asked the officer if when I'd bought my sticker I was issued a list of rules that I justneglected to pay attention to. At that point the secretary ran over to the counter where there were several^piles of pamphlets and brochures. The officer told me he would reduce my ticket to a warning if I wouldpromise to take the old stickers out of my window. Then he gave me a razor blade to remove them with.The next day I cruised through parking lot 26-P just to see how many other offenders there were. Out ofthe first 20 cars I saw 13 had expired stickers, and out of that number none had tickets on their windows. I saw stickers from such exotic and far away places as 1-C, 10-G and 21-P. What really surprised mewas how few of these cars had tickets.

Meeting the nuclear neighbor: by PAT KING The Skagit River Valley is a quiet place. Clear, crisp breezes bite skin, soothe eyes, stimulate a smile. Farmers growcabbage, beet, and pea seed in great abundance. The rich, dark soil of the fields feels fertile as it dribbles through your fingers. A two-lane country road winds through acres of lush, green grass. Farms dot theland. Cows graze. The people say the valley is a comfortable place to live. Puget Power hopes to buildtwo nuclear plants in this valley. Environmentalists fear nuclear power. Businessmen feel the plants willgive the region a booster shot of economic adrenaline, how do the neighbors, the common people, feelabout sharing life with the proposed plants? Charles Owen has lived in the valley 20 years. His wife hasspent 34 years there. Their two Opinion sons, Jim, 15, and Ken, 11, shoot baskets at a rusted rim. LedZeppelin blasts from a stereo. Bacus Hill (proposed construction site of the plants) looms behind thesagging backboard. Owen works in management at Intalco, an aluminum company in Ferndale. "I don'twant these plants in my backyard. I will tell Intalco that fact. If it jeopardizes my job, I don't really care.'Those plants are bad for my family," Owen said. "I'm a quiet man, but nobody talks about the plantsaround here," he said. "Big business pushes it. The little guy is all they have to contend with." "Peoplethink their property value will go up, that's why some want it," Mrs. Owen said. "We'll sign a petition tostop them, but we won't demonstrate," said the Owen's as the Gong Show came on their color television. Debbie Parker has lived in the valley 24 years. She is a housewife with three kids. Her two little girlsplay and giggle on the front lawn. It is a crisp, sunny, rare winter day. The shadow of Bacus Hill liesplacidly on the road, half a mile from these chirping pre-schoolers. , "I have no objections to the plants,but humans do make errors," Parker said. "They say we need it, so they must know what they're talking about. I get most of my information from the nuclear center. They are always willing to talk." "There arepeople offering to buy land out here at any price," Parker said. "Puget Power is taking over. I like it quiethere in the valley," she said. "It won't be quiet-when workers come . . . but I guess the plants will providejobs," Parker sighed. She looked down at Billy, her five-year-old. "I hope the valley isn't spoiled for him,"she said. Brian Lloyd, 22, is a log truck driver. "The plants may provide a few jobs for a couple years, but then we'll suffer with the ugly things the rest of our lives," Lloyd said. "Hell, the waste has to be storedundergroun lt; for years. We should spend the money anothe way. What do we need all the power fo:anyway?" he said. I Bernice Kowalchzyk is a cook in Moun Vernon. She retains her thick Polish accentafte 25 years in Skagit Vallev. "In the old country, Germany and Poland, chopped wood, hand washedclothes, and cookei on a wood stove," Kowalchzyk said. "I wa happier then..'"' "I'm against the plants. Iwas in German during the bombing in World War II. The nuclea issue scares me," she said. "I have seenenoug] destruction in my life." Linda Allen is a housekeeper and bookkeepei for a construction company. Skagit Valley has been her home for 13 years. . "I want the plants built because they'll provide jobs. The plants will be radioactive, but no worsi than those satellites," Allen said. "There's danger all over in life,"Allen said, ai her children tugged at her apron, and darkness began falling on Bacus Hill.

P.S. I like Eric Tan's tires in Red Square better. How much did he get for it? Laura RamboJunior Sculpture is for public to judge Editor, Western Front: Art Chantry's letter in Tuesday's Frontneatly explains that "20th Century Sculpture" must be judged by experts, and that we ignoramuses(ignorami?) who can't understand and/or appreciate it should humbly take their word. It occurred to methat this Dlaces outdoor sculpture in a different category than other forms of art. Two examples: Acomposer's work must stand the test of whether people attend the concert, buy the record, or tune in the FM station playing the opus. A playwright's work is judged by sales at the box office. Experts in musicand drama must decide whether this has led to inferior work in those areas, comparable to the humanand bird forms Chantry tells us would decorate the campus if sculpture had to stand such testing.

We've seen better artwork on the bathroom floor after a party. You wouldn't be able to print what we honestly think of "India."Western's campus is one of the prettiest in the state, one every student should be proud of, for instance- the brick buildings, the fountain in Red Square, and the beautiful trees which dot the campus. Whyspoil this with an ugly piece of shit that one can find in a junk yard? Art for the sake Editor, WesternFront: Mr. Chantry wrote a letter condemning people who know how the beauty they have before them.He mentions Western's privilege of having a sculpture by such a great artist/welder, especially at such a price, Western's collection, he considers, is invaluable. But what of the art itself? Anthony Caromay be a great artist, Western may be amass- If "India" had some design or significance we wouldn'tcomplain. The only significance we can see is that India is a poor country and "India" is a poorsculpture. The sculpture is so ugly the pigeons won't even crap on it. We think the Virginia WrightFoundation could use their money in a more appropriate way. Why not get something we canappreciate? Don Bottemiller Ken Schmitter Tom Duncan 1213 Garden St. of money, not art ing a great selection of futuristic art, the price may be a bargain. Even though Western doesn't pay directly, themoney might have been used more sensibly. But that is not for the art's sake. That is art for the money, art for the sake of having a name and not worth buying. Billy J. Bailey 2922 W. ConnecticutBellingham JOB OPENING The A.S. needs two people to run a summer dance workshop.

On this subject I have four facets offeeling. The first is a feeling of distrust ^toward the bureaucracy that chose this work of "art." It is myunderstanding that there was little student imput on the committee. I feel that this bureaucracy shouldhave at least put it to the students for some kind of input. Secondly, I feel that we all have been screwedby the artist. I don't know the exact price tag of "India" but if it was more than the cost of the sculptureas scrap metal and the cost of an apprentice welder's time to construct it, ,we have been taken.Thirdly, I feel anger toward the Virginia Wright Foundation and its directors. I do not know what thepurpose of this foundation is but if it is to bring chunks of metal to university campuses I feel sorry forthe shallowness of its founder. In these economically troubled times' I think what money there isavailable to higher education should be used to advance that education, not squander it on such thingsas this work. I also feel the directors of this foundation have very liberally interpreted the purpose of thefoundation if they call "India" art. Finally I felt a sense of frustration as I watched the workmen make this "art" permanent. Like a persistant thorn in my side I will be forced to look at this work every time I go to my classes. Have a good time, Mr. Caro. At least you don't have to look at "India." Glenwood R.Clark Math-Computer Science Major Artist doesn't mean Art Editor, Western Front: Regarding the new"art" form on campus. I am sure no University in India would accept a pile of garbage and call itAmerica. There is no justification for accepting it because it was created by a famous sculptor. I quote,"If one has to look at the name of the artist, the uniqueness of the art is lost." I am also curious why itwas called "India . . . " or did he just pick a* name form the encyclopedia?

However, Terry Galbreath,director of the Nuclear Information Center near Sedro Wool-ley, said Puget Power (commercialcontractor) is not worried about earthquake danger. "This area is safe," Galbreath said. "We have nogeologic or seismic concern. Our geologists have thoroughly examined the area," he said. "In fact,Bacus Hill (proposed construction site) is one of the better sites in the whole Pacific Northwest." "Iwon't argue with Dr. Easterbrook, but this area (Skagit Valley) is located in a pocket of low earthquakepotential, compared with the rest of the Puget Sound area," Galbreath said. Easterbrook has doneearthquake research for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, (NRC) and extensive geological study in the Skagit Valley. He explained that a strong quake rocked Washington state near Chelan about 1896.Today, no one knows where the epicenter (the part of the earth's surface directly above the origin of the quake) of that quake was, due to insufficient scientific data. "The crucial question is the locationand magnitude (strength) of the 1896 quake," Easterbrook said. "There are faults in the Skagit Valleyarea, and there are going to be quakes. Small ones!are recorded daily," he said. Galbreath said hedid not know about the late 1800's quake. Easterbrook said the Devil's Mountain fault line lies 12 milessouth of Bacus Hill. It runs east to west, and shows up in satellite photos, explained Easterbrook."The Devil's Mountain fault is mapped," Easterbrook said. "It starts just east of Stanwood, (Wash.) andruns west, under the northern part of Whidbey Island," he said. He explained that sub-survace evidenceof the fault can be observed. Galbreath said the closest capable fault is Devil's Mountainâ€” A capable fault is defined as one in which land has moved significantly over the last 35,000 years. "We neverdenied existence of the Devil's Mountain fault," The TI-57. The super slide-rule that'll get you intoprogramming... fast and easy Even if you've never programmed before.

TEXAS INSTRUMENTS fin5~i ...INNOVATORS IN \JKJPERSONAL ELECTRONICS \J Galbreath said. "However, certain faults that SCANP's (SkagitoniansConcerned About Nuclear Power) consultant, Eric Cheney, claims are here, are simply not here,"Galbreath said. "We think the Bacus Hill site is perfectly acceptable," Galbreath said. "We're asclose as we've ever been to getting our building license from the NRC," he said. "Puget Power is notdumb," Galbreath said. "We don't want a quake to hit and have our plants come tumbling down. Wehave a big financial investment. We're not out to screw the public," he said. Easterbrook said no faultruns directly under Bacus Hill, but added there will be quakes in the general region. "It's not a questionof if there will be quakes, but of how big, how deep, and how far," he said. "Those plants had better bebuilt to withstand a severe quake, or not built at all. I live here, so do many others. I don't want the plants on or near a fault." "Frankly, the NRC is frustrating to us," Galbreath said. The NRC is requiring more earthquake research of the area. "I do feel right when I tell visitors to the center that this area is safefor nuclear plants in terms of earthquake danger," Galbreath said. The Diablo Canyon nuclear plant,near San Luis Obispo, Ca., was over half finished when a major fault line was discovered about fourmiles offshore, Galbreath said. The NRC is researching the area before allowing the Diablo plant to start power production. Galbreath said the maximum quake ever felt in this area rates a six on the modified Mercalli intensity scale of 1931. The scale runs from one to 12. A quake is "felt by all; many arefrightened and run outdoors. Some heavy furniture is moved; fallen plaster or damaged chimneys,"he said.

In manyways that is not saying much but for the quality that comes out of the theater department these days,"Tar-tuff e" is a good show. The play, this quarter's touring show, began its campus run Friday night."Tartuffe," a comedy by the great French playwight Moliere, concerns Orgon, a rich merchant andfamily man who invites Tartuffe into his home to instruct the household in the proper religious behavior.Against the unhappy groans of his family, Orgon gives many liberties to Tartuffe including his daughter in marriage and finally the deed to his fortune. Douglas VanderYacht, director, set the production in the1870s and it works well considering that Moliere wrote the play two centuries before that time. Except for an occasional outburst of melodramatic overacting by a few of the actors the show runs smoothly. Tim Jones does well in his role as Orgon although at times his believability as the misled saint followeris questionable. Tartuffe, the religious hypo-crit, played by Randy Carl, is a character that offers room to try a variety of approaches. Carl is comical but he hasn't explored the character enough. He comes offbeing much the same as he has been in other roles at Western. Bonnie Charles as the beautiful andwitty wife, Elmire, carries off a scene in which she tricks Tartuffe into thinking she will have an affair withhim. Ellen Rae Pritchard, Orgon's dutiful daughter, is all tears about her marriage to Tartuffe. WilliamFulle goes overboard in his portrayal of Damis, the angry son. Jane Benson, who plays the maid Dorine, is an adequate comic actress but occasionally she comes on a bit strong in her anger over thepresence of Tartuffe. Other characters of note include Jayne Muirhead as the bitchy old mother, Madame Pernelle, an interesting role for Muirhead and J. Sargent as the ever silent maid. Technically the showworks well. The elaborate 19th century set and costumes and the lighting are just right for theintimacy of the small theater. Brief scene breaks and the absence of an intermission help the production to flow. The audience, which almost filled Old Main Theater, was receptive to the play's humor andseemed to enjoy the show. "Tartuffe" continues its run here at 8:15 p.m. Friday and Saturday in the OldMain Theater. BLESSED ARE THE POOR â€” Randy Carl, as Tartuffe, reads his Bible on bended knee.'Absurd Person' a strong statement by STEPHANIE JENSEN An absurd British comedy, "AbsurdPerson Singular," opened Thursday at the Belling-ham Theatre Guild and probably will enjoy asuccessful run. The relations between husband and wife is the topic of the play and is given a farcialtwist by playwright Alan Ayckbourn. The Guild's production, although not strong, is pleasing MAKE-UP â€” Mark Reese as Geoff, a despicable husband in 'Absurd Person Singular' prepares to meet theaudience. because it reflects Ayckbourn's humor through realistic settings and some competentacting. The story concerns three couples from varied backgrounds who are incongruently throwntogether on three different Christmases. Each couple has some peculiar characteristics whichcontribute to results that are ironic, poignant and disturbing. The opening night audience readilyidentified with some of the characters. Laughter greeted Mary Daughterty, playing Marion, anoverbearing socialite. Her scrupulous inspection of Jane and Sidney's kitchen seems ludicrous, but itcaptures the essence of meaningless day to day activity. Providing equal comedy is the characterof Jane, played by Sharon Kinter. Jane is a neurotic and pathetic woman. Her sole purpose in life is tosatisfy her husband and keep a tidy home. A disruption in either of these pursuits becomes a majortrauma. Kinter's performance is disturbing, but to have greater impact should be more so. In act two,easily the funniest act of the play, we find Jane interpreting Eva's suicide attempt as a misguided effort to clean the oven. Quickly, she comes to save the day with apron and scrub pot in hand. In the last act Jane's proud proclamation to her husband Sidney concerns a tray of food dropped at a party. "But Ididn't clean it up," she boasts. Geoff, the young husband who cavorts on the side, is played by MarkReese. His smooth talk and inhumane THE PICTURE SHOTT Â£* ENDS TUES: "9fy T Dersu Uzala ^treatment of his wife Eva make him despicable. Reese, as Geoff, lacked depth, but provided contrastto the performance of his deeply troubled wife. Acting without a single line in act two, ClydetteMclntyre effectively portrayed the agony of Eva, the young wife trying to commit suicide. Each attemptincreased the tension but an awkward bit of staging which required Mclntyre to try to jump from awindow ledge caused the audience to wonder whether the set would fall, rather than if Eva would takethe fatal plunge. Roy Bentley struggled with the role of--Ronnie, Marion's husband. Ronnie was a dulland monotonous gentleman, similar to Bentley's performance. Pacing problems seemed to afflict theinitial half hour of the production. Once the actors gained their composure and relaxed, the pacingproblem disappeared, perhaps due to a word from the director. Sidney, played by John Jameson,seemed to represent the voice of the playwright. Sidney is obsessed with playing games. He doesn't get a chance until the conclusion of act three, when he begins a game of ' 'musical persons." The scene iscryptic and bizarre. The entire cast is seen dancing across the stage, each in his own pattern, unable to relate to each other or to themselves. Technically, realistic sets aid the production by allowing theaudience to solely concentrate on the action. All the acts take place in kitchens, each signifying thepersonalities of the three couples. Effects such as a sink with running water lessens the aestheticdistance, which causes the audience to ponder, "This is a play, isn't it?" "Absurd Person Singular"makes a strong statement about society. The comedy, slapstick, and occasional dramatic momentsform a single thought. And the play attempts to answer the question, "What happens to people whoare not recognized as full human being?"

It fails miserably. This is supposed to be a Himabout love and its trials and tribulations, and how wonderful it is when you fall in love for the first time.Sorry, folks, but it's not. "First Love" has the look of a film hastily written, badly acted and poorlyfilmed. The plot concerns Elgin Smith (William Katt) and his first romance, Carolyn Hedges (SusanDey). He loves her but she apparently does not return his affection in kind. She attends the symphonywith him, sleeps with him, but clearly, her attention is somewhere else. She is in love with John March(Robert Lggia) a much older and married man, and she is waiting for him to divorce his wife and marryher. Elgin, poor fool, is just a pleasant diversion. The viewer knows this early INTERMISSION on, andcan't figure out why Elgin doesn't until the last 15 minutes. Too late. After Carolyn discovers March won't divorce his wife, she returns to Elgin for a little fun, only to have him tell her off. Elgin will have none ofCarolyn and her Electra complex, but one wonders why it took him so long. "First Love" might nothave been such a bad film if the director had had more time to film it.

The fights were all part of the baseball team's fund-raising smoker. The near-capacity crowd was treated to a classy event, complete with a tuxedo cladannouncer, a blonde, busty, ring girl and some extra entertainment. The fights were all scheduled forthree two minute rounds and were fought with 16-ounce gloves. The top-billed fight, between Bellinghammajor Ken Hertz and Pat McCormick, a local realtor, turned out to be one of the least exciting. Hertzwas in much better shape and he relentlessly pursued McCormick nailing him with several good blows in the first round. One blow dazed McCormick and the referee gave him a standing eight count. In thesecond, Hertz was all over McCormick finally tagging him with a left lead followed by a solid right.McCormick turned completely around to avoid further punishment and the referee stepped in to end thefteht. After the fight Hertz looked more like the loser. The few punches McCormick got in left Hertz witha bruise under his right eye and a small cut on his nose. Hertz said he felt fine after the fight. He hadtrained for a week or so but was slowed by the flu. "It was a hell of a fight," McCormick said. "I enjoyedit." But he quickly added that once is enough. The other fights gave the crowd its fair share ofexcitement. In fact it was Western athletes that gave them a lot to yell about. In the opening fightMike Locker, a football and baseball letterman, gave the event a fast and furious start by stopping Steve "Mudrock" Thorp; a local. fighter, in the second round. Thorp bobbed and moved around, but Lockerstalked him flat-footed catching him with quick, hard jabs. The fighters mixed it up in the first round,going at each other intensely. Locker overpowered Thorp's jabs, countering with solid blows to the headand catching him in the corners. A quick hard right sent Thorp to the canvas and the crowd to its feet.Thorp jumped back up, but the round ended before he could stage a comeback. Thorp came out faster in the second, but Locker was hitting harder. Successive Locker jabs made Thorp's nose look like ared waterfall. Locker overwhelmed Thorp, picking off his punches and belting him continuously. Aright hook dazed Thorp and the referee stepped in for a standing eight count. The referee determinedThorp had been punished enough and stopped the bout. Locker was in such a hurry to leave, he had tobe called back to have his hand raised. '"It's too emotional," Locker said of boxing. "The guy (Thorp)said we were just going to spar around; then he went after me!" "There's no doubt in my head," Lockeradded. "I'll stick to football." Another Western football player, Doug Groves, walloped Corky Newport, alocal athlete, in the first round. The two scrapped around for a while, with Newport seeming to have anearly advantage. Suddenly the obviously stronger Groves erupted with a vicious blow catching Newport full-force on the left jaw. Newport's head snapped, his mouthpiece went flying into the seats and hecrashed flat on the canvas. The referee's count reached only four before attendants clambered into the ring to help him. Newport was down for about five minutes, but was able to leave the ring under his ownpower. The women got in the action also. Liz McKale and Vicky Miller donned gloves and gave thecrowd a thrill. The ladies were much more polite than aggressive. Miller congratulated McKale on everypunch she landed. McKale seemed to have more trouble keeping her hair out of her face than she didkeeping punches out.

The announcer tried throughout the evening to providecomic relief, but he was out done by the tag-team wrestlers. The Pucketts and the Henchmen wentat it and gave the audience a professional show. The Pucketts were the "Pacific Northwest Champions"and the Henchmen the vile bad-guys. The Pucketts (Gil James, Jim Sterk and Rick Brudwick) were clad in overalls and cowboy hats, the Henchmen (Scott Brodhun, Steve Dussek and Ed Trochim) woremasks. They used all the TV "wrestling" moves including the "sleeper", the thumb to the throat, thetest of strength and even got tied up in the ropes. In the end the Henchmen cheated to win. After theboos died down the Pucketts announced they wanted a rematch. This was greeted with a chorus of approval. The evening featured three other fights. Western freshman Kevin Anderson fell victim to thelong reach of "Irish" Gary Cassidy, a local fighter. Anderson went down once but fought gamely.Cassidy was given the decision. Two players form the Chuck-anut Bay Rugby Club, Neil Gardner andMike Girton, fought a two-rounder. The two fought like rugby players, with Gardner taking the decision.The most boring fight was between locals John "Boom Boom" Borman and Dave Her-shey. Hersheytoyed with Borman to take the decision. The fighters were consistently booed for lack of action. The proceeds from the event will go to meet travel expenses for Western's baseball team. Services TYPING â€” Your typing problems solved.

The Vikings will take on Seattle Pacific University tonight in Royal Broughan Pavilion in Seattle. Tipoff is 8 p.m. Hungarians kick Viks byBRUCE STINSHOFF For the first twenty minutes of the first half, it looked as if the handicappers hadmade a big mistake. Western's ninth place soccer team was swarming, clawing and chewing all oversecond place Surrey's goal. Then it became apparent that Western was nothing more than a quarter-horse taking an early led in the Belmont. When the game came down to the home stretch, the SurreyHungarians coasted home easily, riding a 3-0 lead. The Vikings had a chance for a goal in the first half when Dave Browne collided with the Surrey goalie and a defender within the penalty area. An otherwide permissive referee called a penalty kick. Left wing Wade Minor took the one on one shot, but bootedthe ball right into the keeper's arms. The first half ended without any goals, but not without sometempers flaring. The momentum of the game also changed in the first half. While Western dominatedcompletely for the first twenty minutes, Surrey began taking over thereafter. Hungarian coach SteveTak-acs, said the change was simply a matter of his players adjusting to the mud. Viking coach MikeKing said Surrey started taking over when he changed the player alignment from three forwards, fourmidfielder, three fulbacks and a goalie to four forwards, two midfielders, four fullbacks and a goalie."They were playing five forwards," King said. "We could play at one end for a time, but then we hadproblems on defense." It took about 15 minutes into the second half for the Hungarians to score.Surrey got a two on one break to start things off. Goalie Stephan Birgh stopped the first attempt, but bytheD four more Hungarians were around the net. Right inside Terry Seymour got the rebound and drilledthe first goal. It wasn't much longer when Lyle Vaugnn, the left inside, put in number two. Right wingNick Mitchel got the third goal a few minutes later. Western's record dropped to 6-8-2, but the team isstill in ninth place, one game ahead of Reid's Western's Drugs. The Viking play a non-league gameagainst the Juggernauts Sunday at home. 5H91 Come in and try on Spring | â€¢ i We have Pulsejeans, cords and gaberdines.

The Viks tore apart UPS and PLU over the weekend. Western wrestlers subdue PLU, UPSbyERICHOOKHAM The sweet scent of victory wafted into Carver Gym last weekend as Western'swrestlers walked away with two matches. The double win came at the expense of Pacific LutheranUniversity on Friday, 34-9, and the University of Puget Sound, 36-16. The first match was a gem. Allweight classes but one managed to outmaneuver the hapless Lutes. Matt Wilson (126 lbs.) who won 6-2, and Rick Geyen (142 lbs.) who came out ahead 9-0, were singled out by Coach Harry Smith as having"excellent" matches. "We figured this was our last tough match, and everybody was up for it," Smith said of the match. "The team proved to me that they are just as good or better than I expected." Otherwinners in the PLU bout were Hiromi Nara (118 lbs.), 27-10; Henry James (150 lbs.), 10-8; Dan Gilley(177 lbs.), 13-3 and Bob Jones (Hwt.), 9-3. If Friday's match was a gem, then Saturday's was justcostume jewelry. Western won by forfeits. Of the five matches wrestled, Western won one. Geyen wasthe sole Vik grappler, and only double winner, who outwrestled his opponent. He won by default. That is,his opponent failed to finish the match due to injuries. Mark Armstrong (158 lbs.) and Steve Argyle (167lbs.) both contributed the maximum six points per match by obtaining forfeits. Argyle took the place ofLarry Nelson, who has been wrestling a bad case of strep throat. The two victories raised the team'srecord to 7-9 with one dual match remaining. Oregon Institute of Technology is scheduled to wrestle here Friday.
