All other AS employees, except those paid hourly, would also have a pay increase if the proposal goes into effect. If the proposal is passed, the board members salaryincreases will not go into effect until next year. The other raises can go into effect at the discretion of the board. Hanson said he based his figures on the cost of education to allow for tuition increases and thecost of living going up. "I don't think an arbitrary level should be set for salaries, he said. "Some of ouremployees aren't even making the same as they would on welfare. "Some are working up to 40 hours aweek and are not being paid as much as they should." His recommendations will goto the PolicyAdvisory Committee this week before being taken to the Board of Directors for final approval. The ASpresident's salary, now $500 per quarter, would be raised to $400 plus tuition plus 10 percent of the cost of education per quarter. Hanson roughly figured the cost of ecuation to be $3200 a year, or $320 perquarter. The two vice presidents on the board would bring in $300, tuition and 10 percent. Positions four(Continued on page 2) Faculty collective bargaining under consideration by AFT BEWARE â€” Take care of the horseman's rampages tonight, for on your doorstep he may dare to light. And if you hear his "trickor treat," that isn't the time to be cheap. Editor's Note: When a state-appointed accreditation teamvisited Western last spring, one of the specific recommendations was that "WWU's administrationshould communicate belter with its faculty." This is the first of a four-part series about certain -facets ofthat gap in communication. by ERIC HOOKHAM Washington highway patrolmen and university facultymembers are the only state-controlled occupations of which representatives do not bargain collectivelyfor pay increases. Leonard Helfgott, history professor and president of the American Federation ofTeachers (AFT) at Western, would like the latter group to drop its distinction. "As long as the faculty iswithout collective bargaining, the administration will use the faculty for its own best interest," he said.-He accused the administration of running Western "like a factory." Helfgott said he hopes amemorandum "Opinion" issued May 26 by Judge Richard P. Guy of the Spokane Superior Court willenable Western's teachers to arbitrage for salary increases wilh the Board of Trustees. Judge Guystater', "Hie Board of Trustees of Eastern Washington University has implied powers to negotiate withindividual employees or with the Federation representing employees . . ." but that, "there is no obligation (by employees] to bargain collectively." The AFT currently is lobbying for passage of enabling legislation to be presented to the state House of Representatives. University President Paul Olscamp supportsthe legislation. "I will, and have lobbied in favor of enabling legislation," Olscamp said. Olscamp wouldnot say whether he would vote against having a representing employee if he were a faculty member.Some faculty members are against collective bargaining. Ed Stephan, chairman of the Faculty Senate, is skeptical of the AFT's motives and (Continued on page 2) Witchcraft a religion Halloween is majorsabbath for witches' covens by DAVE McCRACKEN Joanne is a witch. No, she doesn't deal in bats,blood and poisoned apples. She is a 23-year-old Bellingham cannery worker who said she doesn't havetime to ride around on her broomstick because she is too busy using it to clean up after her three-yearold son. Joanne is a serious follower of witchcraft, which she said is one of the earliest forms of religion. She said most witches worship two deities â€” the Goddess, representing fertility and birth, and theHorned God, representing death. She said most witchcraft involves the increased use of one's power ofconcentration. "Everybody has this power," she said. "It's up to them to decide if they want to developit." She said witches gather together in organized groups called "covens." Most covens are made up ofsix couples led by a High Priest and Priestess. A coven usually meets once a month on special dayscalled "sabbats" and "esbats." These are highly ritualistic festivals, she said, which mark such naturaloccurrences as seasonal changes and phases of the moon. Halloween, or All Hallows Eve, is one of the major sabbats. On October 31 most covens try to contact spirits of friends and relatives who havepassed on. Joanne said the meetings of most covens take place at midnight under a full moon. Covensoften meet outside during the summer and move indoors for the winter months. Most witches perform the major rites from inside a circle 9 feet in diameter drawn with chalk or marked off with string. Thisrepresents a common ground on which the witches can meet with their Goddess, she said. Joanne said the most misunderstood part of the festivals is the nudity used in some of the ceremonies. Clothingis believed to interfere with the power rising from the body, she said. This aspect of the rites isessentially spiritual and intellectual, with little sexual connotation. Joanne said she was a member of alocal coven until it disbanded three years ago. "We were mainly a healing and teaching coven," she said. "Our group tried to educate people in the powers that they had." The motto of the group was "Do whatyou will, but harm none." The coven broke up because of problems with some prospective members,Joanne said. "Some people were trying to work their way into the coven to learn how to use the powersto gain financially or to control another person," she said, "so we decided to cool it for awhile." Witchestry to attune themselves to the natural rhythm of life's forces, she said. "We want to develop a basicharmony rather than fight the forces around us." Developing a basic harmony with nature is often easierthan establishing an accord with one's neighbors, Joanne said. "You say 'witchcraft' to some people and they will just run," she said. "Others are downright hostile sometimes. Not to the point of beating youor stoning you to death, but they get pretty upset that this is still around." "People say 'Oh, your next-door neighbor is a witch, huh?' and if something happens to their kid, it's that neighbor's fault. We getfingered out on certain things even though we may not have anything to do with them." Inside Nobody? One Bellingham resident is backing the perfect candidate in the upcoming elections.

"If voting could change things, electionswould be banned," is one slogan from the leaflet Carder, a Bellingham resident, hands to voters. Carder, 36, occassionally wears a sandwich board and a cardboard top hat which read, "Vote for Nobody" and"Change life, not leaders." The leaflets that he hands out were designed, written and printed by Carder.They say "Nobody", is the "perfect candidate." " 'Nobody' keeps his campaign promises, 'Nobody'deserves to live off your taxes, 'Nobody' can legislate your freedom . . . if you think 'Nobody' should run your life, vote for 'Nobody'," the leaflets say. The aim of Carder's one-man campaign is to persuadevoters to stop going to the polls if they only vote for the lesser of two evils. His leaflet says it is "absurdto vote for someone you don't like, that doesn't represent you, to prevent someone, you like even lessfrom being elected." Carder's solution to what he Waste disposal service would save school money byJAIME JOHNSTONE Western might operate its own garbage service. A request was submitted lastmonth by Central Stores to the Department of Ecology for a grant to help establish a campus solid waste disposal service. If created, such a service could save the school more than $60,000 a year, DennisSmith, a Huxley graduate who has been in charge of the project since 1976, said. The AssociatedStudents would benefit from such a program since the recyclable materials created by the administration, faculty and computer services which are now handled by Central Stores would be turned over to the ASCommunity Recycle Center. This would mean an increase in rebates from the present $4,400 to apossible $25,000, Smith said. Smith said the ultimate goal of the project is to enlarge the school'spresent steam producing capacity. Anything recyclable would be handled by the AS Recycling Center,but much of the paper is low-grade and would be better used in the production of steam, Smith said. Theremaining 10 percent of usable waste would be deposited at landfill site, he said. This project wouldrequire a $385,000 investment. If approved, the Department of Ecology would pay half the costs.Financing for the remainder of the project would have to come from the state and be approved by the state legislature.

He advocates a system where decisions aremade by the people who are most affected by them and coordinated through a network of autonomouscouncils. What if people disagree? "Then you talk and talk and talk." What's happening today, he said,is that the government "keeps everybody in a state of crisis, so they can't think about issues." Carderthinks voters should vote on initiatives and "maybe even waste a vote on a protest candidate." But* hewarned, don't expect change to come that way. "My feeling is that radicals in Congress are either naiveor dangerous. It all depends on when they sell out," he said. Changes will not occur, Carder said, untilpeople "recognize their common interests." Carder has studied economics in England and worked at the United Nations. Asked if he would be out again with his leaflets for the next election, Carder laughed and said, "If not me, somebody else. This is an idea that's not going to die." PRESIDENT NOBODY?â€” Michael Carder stands in front of Democratic headquarters encouraging a would-be voter not to vote.The 36-year-old Bellingham man says "Nobody" is the best choice. Anti-gay legislation trend analyzedby MARK WALKER A Western sociology professor and a Fair-haven student both attribute the trend ofanti-gay legislation to a nationwide move toward conservatism. Eldron Mahoney and Joseph Nix said they agree society is shifting from the liberalism of the 1960s, but hold differing views on the causes of theanti-gay measures. "It's clearly related to low birth rates," Mahoney asserts, "A period of low birthrates is associated with conservative trends." Nix, a member of the Union of Sexual Minorities, said gays arelearning to be assertive and that represents a threat to a battered middle class. "Gays came in the doorlast as an active .minority group and were caught as the door slammed shut," Nix said. On theNovember ballot in Seattle is Initiative 13 which would repeal the city's housing and employmentprotection for homosexuals aiid limit the power of the Office of Women's Rights. Mahoney said theSeattle initiative and others like it have a "faddish character." The data on Americans' attitudes onhomosexuality hasn't changed since the early '60s, he said. The futility of the movement, Mahoney said,is that strong moralistic stances used to rally people to a position are most susceptible to attack. "Itbrings up constitutional and human rights issues giving gay people a reason to organize and stand up fortheir rights. "It's a factor which pulls them together," Mahoney said. The initiative would pass with "flyingcolors" if it were on the state ballot, Nix said. "But not in Seattle," he said. Friends of the BellinghamGay Community and the New American Movement are providing financial assistance to opponents of theSeattle measure, Nix said. "Homosexuals as a group are no longer willing to take traditional jobsassociated with the gay community," he said. A native of the South, Nix said he was once fired from ajob on the basis of sexual orientation. "There was no real opposition to homosexuality prior to gaypeople speaking out in society," Mahoney said, "Opposition provides a goal for gays." "Society hasnever moved forward without a fight and that's the direction we're headed," Nix said, "Social freedom isnothing without political freedom." AS salaries might increase next year (Continued from page 1)through ten would make just 10 percent of education costs per quarter. Hanson's proposal wouldreshuffle some of the other positions within the Associated students. The other salaried positions in theAssociated Students are divided into four levels â€” program managers, directors, coordinators andassistants. All the leveled positions would be raised $220 per quarter over their present salaries. Levelfour, including Program Commissioner, Personnel Manager, Business Manager and KUGS StationManager, now pays $500 per quarter. Under the proposal the level four positions would pay $400 plus 10 percent of education costs per quarter. The Personnel Manager position is being brought up from levelthree. Hanson said it is a well thought out proposal. He started working on it this summer, he said. "I'm trying to fix damage done to the position levels last year and simply pay everybody what they deserve,"he said. Faculty considers collective bargaining (Continued from page 1) of faculty unions in general."What can the union offer except job security, which all tenured faculty already have?" he said. Hespeculated that even if law permitted, the union might not find enough support on campus to become the teachers' representative. The representative must be elected by a majority of Western's 450 facultymembers and "membership with the union is essential to bargain with the Board," Stephen said. Heestimated about 90 faculty members belong to the AFT. Helgott maintains that the union can work for,"improved teaching conditions, a better academic program and increased benefits and salary for facultymembers." Helfgott said the crux of the problem is "the inability of the administration to allow the faculty to make recommendations and decisions." He said collective bargaining is just one aspect of faculty-administration difficulties.

Total candy sales for the1977-78 fiscal year were $57,610.46. This included cigarettes, cough drops and other items, with theexception of concert tickets. The most preferred candy of Western, determined by the quantity sold, is the red .licorice rope, at 15 cents. Between 600 and 700 ropes are purchased a week, Mary Pat Turner,VU info desk worker and stock person, said. Peanut M M's are the favored candy bar. The plain M M'sand Snickers bars are also popular, all at 20 cents each. Assorted penny candies in wooden dividers onthe counter attract people, sometimes to buy quantities. The average quantity purchase is about 50cents, Turner said. Others buy one or two to even out change from other purchases. "The most popularpenny candies are the caramels, Smarties and Tootsie Rolls. The Ice Cubes sold well when they costthree cents, but since the price was raised to five cents, we sell about two-thirds of the former amount,"Turner said. "Many people buy sugarless gum, particularly Orbit, and quite a few buy Bubble Yum andSugar Loaf," an employee said. People are buying more "health foods" than in the past, like nuts, raisinsand sesame bars, Schuster said. The majority of candy sales are made during the day. A total of$1,915.98 was collected during the first 20 weekdays of this fall quarter. In the evenings, students spent$865.71, and on weekends, $498.93 was spent. Weekend candy purchasing is greater on Sundaysthan on Saturdays. The VU info desk is open for a shorter period of time on Sundays but SWEET TOOTH â€” Western students are buying candy like crazy, with more than $3,200 being spent during the firstmonth of school at the VU information desk. averages $20 more business, Schuster said. Turner saidthe customer rush periods are between classes, while waiting for a bus (especially inside during badweather), between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. and before movies. During finals and other testing periods, salesshoot up at least 50 percent. "People get the nervous munchies," Turner said. As the quarter proceeds,and more people come into the Viking Union, candy sales go up, Schuster said. The Student Co-opdoes about $300 a week in retail candy sales, but loses about $3,000 a year in the candy and drugdepartment, George Elliott, manager, said. In the Co-op, sugarless gum sells best, and the older,established candy bars all seem to do well, Betty Harrison, supervisor, said. First-year experimentationwith Hostess pror ducts shows they sell "amazingly well," Elliott said. Experimentation is being donewith alternates to confections, such as crackers, in the Co-op. A random sample of VU info deskcustomers showed diverse reasons for candy consumption, and choice of which to consume. MikeZimmerman buys one or two penny candies, usually caramels, he said, to even out the change fromhis Winston Lights. Matt Shaw, a Reese's purchaser, said he eats his peanut butter cups outside. "Itgives me a spiritual uplifting of my inner consciousness. I do it about once a week, right in front of theVU, immediately after buying it." A man bought an Idaho Spud, but said, "I'm just going through a phase. Mountain Bars are really my favorite." The average candy bar weighs about 1.5 ounces. The heaviestavailable at the VU info desk is the Bit O' Honey, at 2.1 ounces, a Power House bar is 2 ounces and aBaby Ruth is 1.9 ounces. The lightest is the Almond Roca, at 13/16 of an ounce. Campus polls 'Project Respond' will poll student opinions byGALEFEEGE By winter quarter students, faculty andadministration will have a means to systematically poll the student body on a variety of student related issues. ' 'Project Respond,'' similar to other polling programs in colleges across the country, will givecampus organizations the opportunity to obtain reliable opinion from students, Derrick Harrison, graduate intern with the office of student affairs, responsible for the project, said. With this opportunity,Harrison said he hopes the Associated Students, academic departments and the studentaffairs office will be able to work more closely together on student issues. Besides benefitingdepartments and administration in decision making, "Project Respond" can be a useful tool forstudents,Harrison said. For example, students concerned about an issue might want to poll thestudent body in order to approach the administration with facts and figures, and the AssociatedStudents will have the opportunity to poll before making important monetary decisions, he said.Polling project request forms are available at the student affairs office and have been sent to academic departments and the Associated Students. On a first come, first serve basis, the project requests willbe reviewed by an advisory committee. The committee will make suggestions, prepare the project forpolling, and will be instrumental in the data analysis. The advisory committee, being formed thisquarter, will include representatives from the counseling center, the computer center, the AssociatedStudents and the sociology and psychology departments. Harrison and Associate Dean of Students,Harriet Marsh, will also be on the committee. Students will be polled in a variety of manners, generallyby a random telephone survey. Data collectors will be students from the sociology and psychologydepartments. Applications for these student research jobs are available in the student affairs office.Cost to the organization requesting the polling project will be minimal. While there is no charge for thedata analysis,: potential costs include student researcher salaries and possible computer time."Project Respond" is the brainchild of Mary Robinson, associate dean of students. Groundwork for theprogram was done last year by Robinson and then intern, Joan Greg. Thomas Quinlan, vice presidentfor student affairs, said he hopes the program wi|l remain a permanent part of the university scene.ECONO-TUNE Automotive Tune-Ups for Less 20% discount for members of the Western community.863-N.

D 9 Ou_ LU ---------- Western Front - 1978 October 31 - Page 4 ---------- 4 Western Front Tuesday, Oct. 31,1978 Editorials Trick and treat Associated Students President KurtHanson apparently is keeping with the holiday spirit of tricks and treats with his proposal for AS salaryadjustments. If the president has his way. Western studeats will get the trick and A^ pres-idents will getil.i treat. Hanson's proposal calls foi the.AS president tc receive $400, plus tuition, plus 10 percent of thecost of education ($320) per quarter. This'amounts to $926 per quarter or $2,778 for an academic year.Salaries step down from there for all other AS personnel. The dollar figure is more revealing thanHanson's breakdown. In fact, the AS president will collect more than 49 percent of the cost of education,including tuition, over an academic year. Add to that an additional $400 per quarter and the figure comesto $422 below the total yearly cost of education at Western ($3200). Hanson's proposal is troublesomefor several reasons. First, AS salaries were raised overall just last year when AS . positions. wererestructured into five levels of responsibility. Second, it's hard to justify this increase against the problems student employees faced last year concerning the minimum wage hike. The Bo?rd would be abusing itspower if it voted ; itself into such a comfortable position while Western's ; student employees in generalcontinue to struggle with the cost of education. Who's to say an office assistant in Old Main is lessdeserving of decent pay than someone in student government? Troublesome, too, is the fact that, eventhough Hanson said his administration would take an active role on campus, his proposal to increase ASsalaries is the only major program he has initiated since he took office last June. The money Hansonwants to put in the pockets of those who follow him comes from the students. 1 gt;i'â€¢ : isn't guttingany cheaper tor them either. Hanson'? r .posai might be a big treat for the AS, but for the rest o. Westernit's a dirty trick. Vote nobody? Yes, it is true. "Nobody" does indeed keep his campaign promises.Michael Carder is campaigning for the "Nobody" party this election year and motives behind his campaign do have some valid points. However, these valid points should not overshadow the equally valid points in favor of casting one's ballot for the candidate of your choice. "If voting could change things, electionswould be banned," one of Carder's pamphlets affirms. Elections give the public the opportunity to reversesome of the poorer choices they have made. Take the election of Jack Cunningham to the 7th DistrictCongressional seat for example. After one year, voters in the 7th district should be aware of theirmistake and on Nov. 7 they will have the chance to correct it. So changes can be made, that is, if thepeople want to take the initiative to voice their preferences at the polls. But even more important thanvoting on an issue is knowing what the issue is all about. The reason many people feel elections don'tcause change is either because they are unaware of the fact that programs can't be started immediatelyor they are simply ignorant of the implications of an election result. Indeed people should be aware of theimplications of their vote before they cast it. Many are not, however, and they blame government for theirown mistake. It is not the fault of government that some people don't know the issues. It is their fault fornot joining in the election and campaign process from the beginning. Ample opportunity exists forcitizens to get in on the political process from the grass-roots level. Carder's drive to keep people fromvoting is based on a desire to keep people from simply voting for the lesser of two evils. This is anadmirable motive; however, if people became involved at the grass-roots level, choices like this would bemuch less frequent. People have the right and the responsibility to criticize the government, but if theyare not willing to help in the election process, they should be willing to take some criticism themselves."T~Y\e. burea. o c r a ~^c- t o y box Filibuster succeeds Senate kills Alaska lands bill In the last fleeting moments of Congress' session, supporters of an Alaska conservation bill suffered heartbreaking defeatwhen a lone Alaskan senator filibustered to death the most important land use issue in America's history since Teddy Roosevelt carved out national forests in the early 1900s. Staging a one-man mockery ofdemocracy-inaction was Sen. Mike Gravel who killed the comprehensive legislation at 5:30 a.m. onOctober 15. Ironically, Gravel has been an outspoken opponent of nuclear power. At stake were millionsof acres of federally-owned land distributed across Alaska containing wild rivers, wilderness and wildlifeon a scale equaled nowhere else in the lower 48. Gravel's victory marked the end to a two-yearcampaign by conservationists to permanently preserve these lands before temporary protection fromearlier legislation expires Dec. 18, 1978. In May, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly passed 277-31 a greatly compromised bill HR39: Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act. Ninety-seven million acres of pristine public land would have been protected in four conservation systemsâ€”nationalparks and monuments, wild and scenic rivers, wildlife refuges and wilderness areas. Gravel illustratesthe power local senators have to defeat long-range national legislation that affects their states regardlessof national need or support; especially when backed by rich development interests bent on exploitingAlaska's resources for short-term profits. Reflecting the "good old boys" style of doing Senate business,demands by Gravel and fellow Alaskan Sen. Ted Stevens (R), were readily accommodated by our ownSen. Henry Jackson and his Energy and Natural Resources Committee which he chairs. But it was notenough for Gravel who walked out of a last-minute negotiation session threatening to filibuster anycompromise even though all other major figures, including Jackson and Stevens, had agreed on mostissues. To further molify Gravel, an attempt was made to provide protection for only one year to thesame lands in HR39 and those considered by Jackson's committee. The desperate measure passed theHouse and went to the Senate where an implacable Gravel filibustered until it was too late for a vote ofcloture, a procedure requiring 60 yes votes if a filibuster is to be stopped. Early in 1977, President Cartersaid Alaska land legislation was the number one environmental priority of his administration. WithGravel's success, Carter has a chance to prove himself. Carter can act under the 1906 Anitquities Actwhich permits a president to establish national monuments by executive action without Congress'approval. Interior Secretary Cecil Andrus, keynote speaker at Western's Alaska Symposium in April,said he would take administrative action to preserve key areas in Alaska if Congress failed to legislateprotection before December 18. When Congress meets in January the Alaska lands issue will be at thetop of conservationists and their allies' list of priorities. Action by Carter and Andrus in the meantimecould take the sting out of a painful setback but they'll have to make effective use of their options.â€”Dave Hatcher Staff EDITOR: Bruce Hyland BUSINESS MANAGER: Dave Imburgia AD MANAGER:Michelle Roedell NEWS EDITOR: Michael Wickre PHOTO EDITOR: Darrell Butorac OPINION EDITOR:Chris Jarvis A E EDITOR: Barbara Waits SPORTS EDITOR: Rick Eskil HEAD COPY EDITOR: BruceStinshoff PRODUCTION MANAGER: John Watkins ASS'T NEWS EDITOR: Eric Hookham ASS'TPRODUCTION MANAGER: Pat King COPY EDITORS: Gale Fiege, Steve Valandra ADVISOR: LyleHarris REPORTERS: Joyce Ansley, Janet Borgaard, Jim Barner, Bill Boyd, Calvin Bratt, Cheryl Brush,Mick Burroughs, Matt Caldwell, Connie Compton, Michael Connors, Jonathan Davis, Patti Dorst, BruceEdwards, Wendy Egger, Greg Geleynse, Patrice Gibble, John Greeley, Dan Green, Clay Hartl, JanetHevly, Melissa Johnson, Jaime Johnstone, Lynn Keebaugh, Howard Levin, Gary Lorentson, JodyMacDonald, Mark May, Dave McCracken, Dave McHugh, Tim Merkel, Laura Merkel, Theresa Mighell,David Miltenberger, June Myers, Craig O'Hara, Shane O'Hara, Debbie Oliver, Isaac Sherman, BeckySpithill, Susan Lynn Stauffer, Dave Steiner, Tricia Sylliaasen, Penny Thomas, Stacie Thumlert, ChristieVigonen, Nancy Walbeck, Mark Walker, Lew Williams, Bruce Yeager, Brad Ziemer, Mark Higgins, JohnHicks The Western Front is the official newspaper of Western Washington University.

Law effective Nov. 2 Customs process hastened by CONNIECOMPTON Travelers often find the process of going through customs a tedious and time-consumingone, but a new customs reform law could help to change that. The Customs Procedural Reform andSimplification Act of 1978, effective Nov. 2, will help speed customs clearances for the manyinternational travelers who enter the United States each year, U.S. Commissioner of Customs RobertE. Chasen said. The personal duty exemption for returning U.S. residents has been raised from $100 to$300, based on the fair market value where the articles were purchased. Residents bringing in more than$300 worth of goods will be charged at a flat duty rate of 10 percent. Former duties were assessed inaccordance with national tariff schedules, import control officer John Espedal said. Espedal explainedthat customs inspectors previously taxed items by type, and because such classifications as clothing,giftware and jewelry all had different tariff rates, the process often went slowly. The flat duty rate appliesonly to travelers who spend at least 48 hours outside the United States, Al Swift, a customs officer inSeattle, said. Day travelers, Swift said, are allowed $25 worth of merchandise duty-free, an increase of$15 over the former allowance. Day travelers bringing back more than the duty-free allowance will beassessed by the tariff system, which taxes items by type. "The new law won't be all that beneficial today travelers," Swift said. It is aimed at international travelers and the business community, he said. The number of cigarettes which can be brought back duty-free has been set at one carton. Swift said thatcustoms officials probably did not feel that most persons were abusing the "personal use" clause, butthat its meaning was unclear. For that reason, a specific number was set, he said. One quart of alcoholis allowable duty-free, Swift said. Cigarettes or alcohol beyond the duty-free limit are taxed by the tariffschedules. Also included in the new act are clauses which will speed up customs processing forbusinessmen such as importers of international goods. Huxley approves new curriculum, integrates,reflects student interests by MICHAEL CONNORS The Huxley faculty has approved a new curriculumframework which might affect many students' majors. It should provide greater integration of studies,more closely adhering to Huxley's philosophy of "holistic" environmental education, Richard Mayer,dean of Huxley, said. Holism is the philosophy of studying things as a system rather than focusingsolely on its parts. The new framework condenses the original 13 areas of concentration to three. Thefirst area of concentration environmental science, concentrates on the assessment and managementof ecosystems and environmental health. Environmental planning is the second area of concentration. The third area of concentration is environmental affairs, which encompasses environmental educationand social assessment and policy. Social assessment and planning concerns social behavior andguidelines for environmental behavior. Richard Mayer, dean of Huxley, said the framework will integrateall that Huxley offers now, reflecting the areas of student committment and interest. "The frameworkshould also get rid of the boxes (specialized areas) that students and faculty have tended to putthemselves into, " Mayer said. Mayer said the majority approval by the faculty showed a renewedsolidarity and commitment to both the technical and social approaches to environmental studies. OnOct.' 26 the faculty voted to form related interest groups to develop a curriculum proposal to besubmitted to the Huxley curriculum committee. Mayer said the curriculum should retain the flexibilityallowing students to pursue self-designed programs. He added that he would like a general program forthose wanting to develop an acquaintance with environmental studies. The target date for thecurriculum approval is Dec. 15, when the draft will go to Vice President for Academic Affairs JamesTalbot to be approved for the fall catalog. Mayer said the college was still under contract to honor anyexisting majors what might be affected by the new curriculum, but that students had the option ofwhich path to take. s. o. s. s.o.s. â€” Writing Distress? â€” Get S.O.S Service On Schedule.Writing, Editing, Typing, 2300 James St., call 676-0300.

Dead trees to gosoon; landscaping rejuvenated by GARY LORENTSON Thirty dead pine trees scattered around CarverGym and the Art Annex will be replaced soon. J-I-J Construction Co., the firm that originally planted thetrees, has agreed to plant new trees in late October or early November. John Brooks, constructioninspector, said. "I'm going to meet with their representative and we'll work out the exact numbers of treesinvolved," he said. The dead pines are part of 60 scotch pines and 600 other trees and shrubs that J-I-Jplanted in June as one of the final steps of Project Intertie. The project, which began in April 1977, hadtwo parts to it. The first operation called for Whatcom Building Inc., to replace a section of pipe beneathGarden Street. Secondly, they were to revamp a section of pipe below the area between Carver Gym andthe Art Annex, by driving pilings under the pipe to stabilize it. All the heavy construction has beenfinished. Whatcom Builders in turn contracted J-I-J to landscape the area around and between those twobuildings, according to plans drawn by architects hired by Western. The plans called for bringing topsoiland planting 10 different varieties of plant life. The landscaping was to have begun in May. "The maindelay was that Whatcom had a problem getting some brick they needed," Brooks said. "We granted them an extension until June." When June came, the area was ready to be planted, but the plants weren't."They should be planted when they are in a dormant state," Brooks said. "They were dormant in May andthey would be again in October." When the planting was done, half the pines started to die. Western'sground crew tried to save them. "After three weeks we watered them the best we could. It was just toolate,". Frank Nelson of the ground crew said.

Sgt. David Doughty of campus security, said marijuana is themost popular illegal drug on campus. "Esquire" magazine reported that ColTombian pot, long-loved and respected for its potency, has assumed the highest position in the international dope market. Lastyear's disclosure of a deadly insecticide, paraquat, being sprayed on Mexican pot, with support of U.S.drug enforcement agencies, knocked the bottom out of the American market for Mexico's commercialweed. As a result, pot imported from Mexico became history and the demand for Colombian weedincreased. Five-hundred thousand pounds of this exotic weed is sneaked past police and customsagents into the United States each week according to "Esquire." The pot that reaches Bellinghamranges in price from $40 to $60 an ounce, a source said. The common practice is for a merchant to buy a quarter pound, sell three ounces to cover the cost of the quarter and get one ounce free as profit.With Mexican pot scarce DOLLARS FOR DRUGS: Western students' tastes recently have tipped thescales in favor of Columbian marijuana. and Colombian being expensive, a third variety has grown inpopularity â€” homegrown. Prices range from $10 â€” $15 an ounce for pot which was cured by hangingupside down for several days, reportedly resulting in a distinctive taste and higher potency, a sourcesaid. Homegrown's mellower high fills the gap left by Mexican's disappearance. It is preferred overColombian because of lower price and less punch delivered by the imports, a source said. Hashish, aderivative of pot, seems to be as scarce as hen's teeth. The campus grapevine reports some blackLebanese in town with grams going for $8-$10. The price reportedly is $45 for a quarter of an ounce.Helps undecided majors 'One-stop' advisement offered Students at Western are offered a "one stop"advisement and referral service through the new Academic Advisement Center on campus.

This wasthe main point emphasized at a Halloween makeup workshop Thursday in the V.U. lounge. SusieMorrow-Blackwell, a Fair-haven student majoring in theater, demonstrated basic techniques for painting a trick-or-treat face without spending much money. She recommended using a small, inexpensivewatercolor kit and warned against using too much water, in order to prevent paint from running. Whenasked by an audience member if it would be harmful to paint one's mouth and possibly eat some paint,she replied, "No, I've eaten it all my life." Using a mixture of cornstarch, Crisco shortening and whiteflour, Morrow-Blackwell fashioned a grotesque nose which she also painted. The mixture, mainlycornstarch, should be mixed until it is the consistency of play dough, she said. If a new nose is desired,make sure the real one isn't shiny. Morrow-Blackwell said she once washed her nose so well she wasunable to get the phony one off during a makeup class. Pressing a patty of putty to a cheek, cutting agroove across the patty and painting it grisly colors is a method for copying cuts and swellings. A vertical row of tear-shaped dough pieces painted red suggest dripping blood. Morrow-Blackwell's favorite makeup is grease paint. She said this paint is hard for beginners to use but is fun to play with. Grease paint isexpensive, however, and for those on a budget she recommended staying with watercolors andcornstarch. Demonstrating a sure-fire way to gray hair, she mixed cornstarch in her hair, aging years inthe process. Don't despair if your imagination goes blank before tonight's party. "If you can't think ofanything to paint, you can always go buy a $2 mask," she said as she donned one herself.Interdisciplinary arts degree added to college by THERESA MIGHELL Making creative arts educationmore practical is what the interdisciplinary arts degree program is all about, Director Peter Hay said.This bachelor of arts degree program is a new addition to the College of Fine and Performing Arts. Itwas approved last spring and initiated this fall. A minor might be endorsed during this quarter. Currently, there are a few 110 interdisciplinary arts classes and one new 210 class, which contains nine students. To earn a degree in interdisciplinary arts a student must earn 36 credits in three major areas. Thefirst is an interdisciplinary arts course, which serves to combine a basic Cathay House RestaurantLunch Dinner Cocktail Chinese-American Food 950 Lincoln St. Bellingham, WA 98225 Phone 676-9102 Iftw Britain's Finest Hours.

The content of these classes is a relatively accuratedescription of the basis of the entire .program. These courses look into the common principles andelements of different art forms that are not studied in specialized courses. There is no extensive study in just one field. Students are required to attend as many art events as possible outside of class as wellas different presentations and discussions in class. Hay said the class is "unique" because "it isn'tstraightforward, and there are no texts." The students must also take specialized courses in a numberof individual arts. The third area of classes will be filled with general classes from any one department atWestern, depending on the student's own interests and under close advisement. Beginning the program was initially a "reaction against specialization," Hay said. The extreme degree of specialization overthe last few years has brought on disappointment in both leisure and career opportunities, he said.Critical writing and theater or any kind of art management are some employment opportunities thatmight be opened up with this program. It's also designed to create a sense of self-motivation, soencourages graduates to create their own job. The department heads in the College of Fine andPerforming Arts are looking for expansion and increasing popularity in the program, Hay said. "It seemsto appeal to more mature people. Most of them have either switched majors, or have tried anotherprofession, or have a lot of experience doing something else," he said. Hay said the only problemforeseeable relating to the growth of the program is the lack of facilities available to do the great variety of things that are done in an interdisciplinary arts class. The program currently has no budget, so there isnot much promise to get the needed space, he said. Indian Ed Center trains counselors byJUDYGISHThe Indian Center is neither a place nor an organization. It is a person. Susanna Hayes, working withthe psychology and e d u c a t i o n d e p a r t m e n t s, established the center at Western last fall. Itspurpose is to train Indian counselor and teacher aides. Hayes has a doctorate in psychology from theUniversity of Michigan and spent four years teaching Indian children at a small Jesuit school in Omak,Wash. Four tribes work with the Center: The Nooksack, Lummi, Swinomish and Tulalip. Courses areconducted at designated locations off campus. The complete program totals 18 credit hours and acertificate is awarded upon completion. Hayes also offers workshops for those involved in Indianeducation. This is the only program of its kind in the state, Hayes said. It is funded on a year-to-yearbasis by the Office of Indian Education in Olympia. A plan is under consideration, however, wherebyWestern would supply half the funding in conjunction with the state.

Masha, a member of the United Nations Secretariat, told 50 persons in ArntzenHall Thursday the three main problems the United Nations must address in the future are theindebtedness of nations, human rights and disarmament. Masha, on a speaking tour of the the PacificNorhtwest, made his remarks in connection with the celebration of United Nations Day, Oct. 26.Inflation, increased prices of imported goods and unfavorable trade arrangements have driven poornations deeper into debt and "the more they borrow, the less they are able to repay," Masha said.Increasingly, indebtedness is not just a problem of poor countries, but also of rich countries, Mashasaid, citing Italy as an example. Masha said worldwide respect for human rights has risen dramaticallysince 1948 when the United Nations Kuwait water problems studied by Western prof by SUSANSTAUFFER Huxley professor Ming-Ho Yu was asked by the Kuwait government in August to find whythe country's fluoride level varied among water stations. For three weeks Yu surveyed numerous water stations in the small Middle Eastern country, which has a population of about one million. The lack in sufficient level of the fluoride is linked to widespread tooth and bone decay, especially among youngchildren, in Kuwait. "It wasn't until about 20 years ago that underground water sypplies werediscovered in Kuwait," Yu said. "They don't have any lakes or streams like the United States does.Before the wells were discovered they imported all of their water by ships from different countries."Kuwait is the richest country in the world, having the world's highest per capita income, $11,000,according to a study by the Swiss Bank Union. "They are very able to afford such extravagances as importing water as they did then," Yu said. Oil is Kuwait's fiscal mainstay and below its sands are 15percent of the world's oil reserves. Oil pays for medical care, education and social security. No taxesexist, except customs duties. The country's wealth enables the government to make drinking water by the desalination process, which removes salts and other chemicals from sea water. Desalination isexpensive, Yu said. The main source of drinking water in Kuwait is desalinated water from thePersian Gulf. This water is mixed with 10 to 15 percent brackish water from underground wells. Theconcentration of fluorides varies from well to well. "To my surprise, despite their adding fluoride to the water, they still didn't have enough and the levels were never consistent," Yu said. Yu's mission was not to solve Kuwait's problems, but rather to help the Ministry of Public Health find why the levels varied. "I could only surmise," he said, "that either somewhere along the line fluoride was being lost when itwas transported from a water station to a family, or that not enough was being added despite theirreports." From a study of epidemics and epidemic diseases, researchers will be able to determine ifenough fluoride is in Kuwait's water over a period of time, he said. Yu said he might return next summerto further explore Kuwait's drinking water problems. He said he would probably couple the projectwith a trip to his homeland, Taiwan. As a professor at Western since 1970, Yu has traveled all over theworld researching fluoride and speaking about his main interest, the effect environmental pollutantshave on health. $2,000 waiting for profs Western students, alumni and faculty may nominate theirfavorite professor for the annual faculty excellence in teaching award. Two awards, each $1,000, will begiven spring quarter. One professor will be selected from the College of Arts and Sciences and theother from the cluster colleges. The professors are judged by their teaching performances. They areevaluated by a committee comprised of a student, an alumnus or alumna, last year's award recipient and the dean of the nominee's college. Tenure is not required, but the candidate must be a full-timemember of the faculty. Visiting faculty are not eligible. Nominations must be in by adopted its UniversalDeclaration of Human Rights. In spite of these advances, "racism, political intolerance andpersecution of prisoners abound in the world," he said. Concerning the military arms build-up, Mashasaid, "It is conceivable that the atom bomb will be as much a part of national arsenals as the jet andwarship today." He commended the efforts being made by the U.N. Special Session On Disarmament,which convened in September. "For the first time, there has at least been a resolve to bring all nationstogether to discuss nuclear disarmament," he said. Job hunting mini-course; 'sell yourself A three-credit interdisciplinary course, Professional Communications, will teach students to "sellthemselves" to" employers, Joyce Gomez, vice president for student affairs, said. "The world outthere is a buyer's market, so it depends on what you have to sell," Gomez said. Four instructors willeach teach a two-week segment of the course, in which they will explain one element of the job search, Gomez said. The areas discussed will be analysis of career goals, letter and resume writing, interviews and using career placement services available on campus. The instructors will be Michael King, of thecounseling center; Lois Petersen, of the business education department; Marvin Olmstead, of thespeech department and Louis Lallas, director of career planning and placement. For the last week of the course, business representatives will be invited as guest lecturers, Gomez said. The class will belimited to 30 students.

With slidingchin and twirling guns, Berger led the gun fighter into a saloon where he met more than his match. Inhis last sketch, ' "The Nightmare," Berger used a soundtrack to background his moves. The sound of the beating clock and the use of a strobe-light to magnify his gestures, made "The Nightmare"realistic. Called back for an encore, Berger left the stage to a well-deserved standing ovation. Vaudevilleis alive and well, and coming to Western.

"I like to do it because you're left on your own to figure things out,"Mustoe said. He started by learning how to build banjos from reading a borrowed book and also "by trialand error and word of mouth." For the past seven years, while working part-time as a geologytechnician at Western, Mustoe has pursued an unusual hobby that matches his own unhurried anduncomplicated lifestyle. With at least 100 instruments finished, he has concentrated the past twoyears on work on the Irish harp. One was sold to a California musician playing at the Black Angus sixmonths ago. Mustoe works at random or on a commission basis but doesn't keep his finished productsaround. "I prefer to make something for someone else, rather than for me," he said. He sells or givesaway almost all of his work but likes it that way. To make his instruments Mustoe uses a wood-bendingmold in different sizes depending on the instrument he plans to make. He must use steamed or boiled wood while it is hot and clamp it around the form of the specific instrument. When dry, it will hold itsshape. He works with maple, teak, cedar, birch, mahogany, zebra wood from Africa and other woodsthat appeal to him. "I'll even use packing crates if I like the wood," Mustoe said. Wood is difficult to findin Belling-ham although Mustoe was able, at one time, to get teak from the dump at Uniflite in Fairhaven. "Unfortunately, most woods are not cured well and are treated badly once they are cut down," he said.Even though Mustoe started out in a woodworking shop, he prefers to work with small things as opposedto large furniture items. "I don't like square corners and big pieces are monotonous for me," he said.The versatility and natural feel of wood appeal to him and he said he likes working with flowing curves and shapes. Mustoe's other- specialties include guitars, Appalachian dulcimers that resemble anhourglass-shaped mandolin, the Yugoslavian bisnarica that looks like a longnecked ukulele, a We arestocked with new clothes for Fall See you soon.

Vaudeville(Continued from page 11] originate from San Francisco, the Karamazov Brothers present an actionpacked show, which they define as "new age vaudeville." The Karamazovs are masters of their art. They juggle an assortment of props, ranging from flaming torches to bottles of champagne. Because theyjuggle such a seemingly' impossible amount of variety of items, occasionally something gets dropped.But as the Karamazovs point out, the audience is always waiting for jugglers to screw up, and theydon't want to disappoint anyone. Much of their juggling is done in an improvisational style whichsupplies them with an energentic spark. The Karamazovs, who go by a variety of first names, have been together for the past five years. They met during their college days and started by performing around the San Francisco area. After graduating they began to take the act more seriously, and for the last twoand a half years they have been performing professionally. Having just finished a four-night engagementat the Alligator Pallace Vaudeville Theater in La Conner, the Flying Karamazov Brothers will wind uptheir current tour when they take the stage at Mama Sundays. ---------- Western Front - 1978 October 31 - Page 13 ---------- Tuesday, Oct. 31,1978 Western Front 13 Folk dancing happens every Wednesday night So disco isalready getting old, and ballet hurts a stiff body, and waltzing isn't done by anybody anymore, but youwant to dance . ..

Films Coordinator-Revolutions Bowie, ch,ch,ch, changes for worse program commission MITR9F6 by BRUCESTINSHOFF David Bowie was always more than just a rock and roll star. To his fans he became ZiggyStardust, the theatrical character he portrayed in song and on stage. Ziggy's band, The Spiders FromMars, became Bowie's band. When the Spiders left after the "Aladdin Sane" album, Bowie continued onhis own, but Ziggy died. Bowie has put out five studio albums since the death of the Spiders, but"Stage," his second live album, shows Bowie died when Ziggy died, leaving only a corpse behind.Bowie's first live album, "David Live At the Tower Philadelphia," was released in 1974, following therelease of "Diamond Dogs." His second live release, a two-record set, features music from the "YoungAmericans," "Station to Station," "Low," "Heroes," and "Ziggy Stardust" albums. Two sides areentirely devoted to music from the boring and lethargic "Low" and "Heroes" albums, and could be put tobetter use as frisbees. The Ziggy Stardust side, however, is evidence that the thin white duke has notlost any of his vocal range, a trait that separated Bowie from all the other glitter performers during theearly '70s. With the exceptions of "Star" and "Hang On to Yourself," even the Ziggy side is inadequate.The synthesizer, string ensemble and electric violin, which Bowie first used on "Low," are overly usedduring these live performances, and detract from, rather than compliment the guitar work. In fact, leadguitarist Adrian Below comes close to a guitar solo only once, as he grinds out a few riffs on his axduring "Station to Station." Below is practically silent, compared to Mick Ronson, of the Ziggy Stardustdays, who regularly stole the show from Bowie. Perhaps it was Ronson's fame as the toD Spider thathas made Bowie leery of any more flash guitarist. Since the Spiders broke up, Bowie has had a different lead ax man on each album, including "Diamond Dogs" where Bowie handled all the guitar chores. Thehorn section, th,at has become a Bowie trademark, is completely missing from "Stage." The songs that do work, such as "Star," "Station to Station" and "Hang On To Yourself," survive because of its basicsâ€” guitar, bass, drums and piano. In conclusion, "Stage" is nothing more than a coffin. The few lifebreathing songs just don't make up for the overall contents. Perhaps Bowie should take the advice fromone of his songs, and admit that "It's just a rock 'n' roll suicide." A SCIENCE-FICTION PREVIEW OFTHE 21st CENTURY..

And much like the ebbs andflows of the storm, with its flashes of lightning, sudden torrential downpours, gusting winds and rollingthunder, Western's women's volleyball squad was experiencing ebbs and flows of its own. A hecticday of volleyball had Western playing in 13 games, with the Vikings winning five and suffering four of itseight losses to eventual tourney champion Simon Fraser University (SFU). Western opened the davplaying Eastern Washington University dropping two of three sets, 15-11, 8-15, and 12-15. SFU followedand swept two straight sets, 15-9 and 15-8. Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) fell to Western, 15-6, 8-15, 10-15 as did Central Washington University 15-8, 12-15 and 15-17. A rematch with SFU brought the*same results to Western as they dropped two straight sets 10-15 and 1-15, and were eliminated fromthe tourney. The rematch with SFU came on the heels of the Central victory, a game in which Westernhad an overwhelming lead, allowed Central to tie, regained its composure and held on for the narrow two-point win. "In a tournament like this, the team becomes mentally drained after finishing a match with acertain team, then they have to immediately get up for a whole new squad," Kathy Knutzen, headvolleyball coach, said. This seemed to be the case in the final match with SFU, as the Canadian squadwas well-rested and the tension of the Central match carried over into the play of the Western squad.Basically, Western never had a chance to regroup, following the Central match. "We played consistently against Central and PLU, and I see improvement in the team with every passing week," Knutzen said.

However, the early lead was lost andthe Eastern Washington University team came back from a 13-0 deficit to beat the Vikings 26-16. TheViking loss virtually eliminates them from an Evco championship. Freshman Greg Schenk got Westernoff to a good start, recovering a fumble to set up Mike Locker's 20-yard touchdown run with 1:33 gonein the game. A short punt by the Eagles set up Western's second score. Pat Locker ran the ball in from seven yards out to give the Viks a 13-0 lead. Eastern rallied the rest of the first half and went into thelocker room in front 17-13. In the third quarter Jon Christie kicked his eighth field goal of the season. The 42-yard field goal came with three minutes left in the period. Eastern had built a commanding lead inthe third period and a 30-yard field goal by Eastern's Jerry King killed the Viking's hope for victory. PatLocker was Western's leading rusher with 88 yards.

The only score of the game came in the second half as ColleenChilds took the ball down the left side and slipped it in past the UW keeper. The Vikings dominatedmost of the game until the last 15 minutes when the UW began pressing for a tying goal.
