He cited "philosophical differences" as the main reason for hjs decision. "There are 110reasons, but basically it is a philosophical difference with the majority of the board, which has led me to believe I cannot effectively contribute," he said. Howard, the facilities council representative, said hehad been contemplating resigning for "quite awhile." "I've sacrificed two quarters thinking the problemwould clear up," he said. The "problem" he speaks of is that the board is "confusing unity withuniformity." He said this year's board believes that to be unified, all decisions from it must be uniform."They are falling over each other to remain a group," he said. He said in the past, his individualismhas made it difficult for him to deal with the board. "My difference from the board is that I'm aconservative, and although I consider myself a democrat, I'm not a wasteful democrat," Howard said. As an example of "waste," he mentioned the "$5,000 spent on a slap-together study to evaluate thefaculty" and "trips and junkets" funded by the AS. But he said the Associated Students has potential."We've got some outstanding board members. . . . The AS could be great. It's really in a unique positionbecause it has no large-scale decisions to make or business pressures," he said. He decried "some"board members for putting their political future ahead of their job as representatives. "They are oftenon an ego trip. I wish some board members would stop worrying about campaigning and instead justrepresent the students," he said. AS President Kathy Walker said she was "surprised" to hear of theresignation. "This will modify the board's decisions. Jack Howard has always represented an important segment of the student body," she said. Fellow AS representative Greg Sobel said he was"disappointed," especially by the complaints about the board. "It sounds like he doesn't respectanyone on the board. I've tried to develop open communications with Jack. Sometimes' it's been achallenge," Sobel said. Howard said the board either will appoint his replacement or allow him to selectsomeone. â€”Eric Hookham abandons petition Ron Wells has resigned as chairman of the AssociatedStudents Facilities Council. He also said he has abandoned his attempt to have AS boardrepresentative Dan Moore recalled. "I'm finished with student government," he said. "I resigned becauseof the students of the university who don't care." Openly bitter, he said the Associated Studenis is"satisfied only with its personal wants and desires." He said he recommends trying to abolish theAssociated Students. "With the money (spent on the AS) we should build something useful, like aswimming pool or parking lots," Wells said. "But I don't think that's possible, unfortunately." JackHoward, AS facilities representative who is a member of the facilities council with Wells, said, "I think he just ran out of steam, but I think he's happy as a clam with his decision." With his resignation, Wellsalso has given up trying to have Activities Council Representative and Chairman Dan Moore recalledfrom office. Wells said he found that when students who wanted to sign the recall petition were asked toname Moore's position, "80 percent" could not. So he called off the petition rather than have Mooreunjustly voted out of office, he said. Wells had charged Moore with "gross dereliction" of his duties,"misappropriation, and repeated violations" of AS rules and supplies and "numerous violations of ASstatutes and procedures." Moore said he was "happy" to hear the petition has been abandoned. "I don'tthink it was necessary or warranted in any way. The problems have all been worked out," Moore said. â€”Eric Hookham Joe Kennedy stumps here for uncle Ted The students donned blue and white"Kennedy for President" buttons, flipped through the candidate's leaflets for the third time, not mindingthat Joseph Kennedy III was almost 20 minutes late. A Kennedy, to most people in Western's packedlecture hall Thursday, was something worth waiting for. And when he finally arrived, the son of the lateRobert Kennedy and nephew of Edward made up for the delay, giving the students what they wanted.Not only did he look like a Kennedy, with the familiar toothy smile and curly hair, he acted like one â€” self-assured and aggressive. Within 15 minutes he had vibrantly denounced nuclear power, the draft,oil corporations and, mostly, President Carter. Describing Carter as a "so-called Democrat," he said the Democratic Party has experienced "an erosion in principle." Carter's proposal to cut $15 billion fromthe federal budget, he said, "is just not the way a Democrat finds solutions." He criticized thepresident's economic policies, noting the inflation rate has risen from 4.8 percent to 18 percent duringCarter's administration. "The difference between Kennedy and President Carter," he said,". . . is thedifference between the Republican and Democratic Parties." The average American is suffering fromCarter's voluntary wage and price controls, which, he said, will cost the average family an additional $1,000 a year. "There are people in our country who make money off of inflation, and you don't have tolook far to see who they are," he said. "Do you think international bankers suffered last year?" heasked. He named Exxon as one of the corporations making enormous profits at the expense ofconsumers. "Exxon is taking out full-page ads to boast they made $4 billion last year," he said.Inflation, he said, is caused by two human qualities: waste and greed. Wage-price controls supportedby his uncle "would stand up to these," he said. He said Kennedy has fought "tooth and nail" forpassage of public health insurance, and supports using a payrolltax to insure that elderly citizensreceive Social Security benefits. "It's time we put a real Democrat into office," he said. When asked ifthe senator will â€¢pursue reductions in military aid to oppressive regimes, he said his uncle's goal is to"wean" the United States of its dependence on foreign ^-countries. The United States, however, mustfoster development in Third World countries by exporting advanced technology. Students also askedabout the draft and nuclear power, drawing a. negative response from Kennedy on both issues. "Youcan't say the volunteer army is a failure as long as the base pay stays at about $300 a month," he said., â€¢ Opposed to nuclear power, Kennedy would support shutdown and conversion of all nuclearpower plants, he said. Kennedy said he started his own non-profit oil company last year and alreadyhas delivered two shipments of heating oil to Boston, where it was sold for 40 percent less than thenormal rate. At a reception after the speech he denied, with a smile, having political aspirations, addingthat even if his uncle wins he will return to his oil company rather than seek a governmental position.â€”Shellee Nunley JOE KENNEDY SPEAKS before full house last Friday in Lecture Hall 4. (photo by Tore Oftness) AS to provide alternative book market Students selling books this quarter will have analternative market to the Nebraska Book Company which presently buys through the Co-op Bookstore. The Associated Students will begin a used-book exchange to save students money, Greg Sobel, ASboard member, said. Students' books will be collected during finals week, March 17-21, at thebookstore. The names of book owners and the selling price will be recorded on an envelope andplaced in the book. During the first week of spring quarter, books will be sold from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Sasquatch Room in VU 350, where payments will be put in the envelopes and given to the cashier.Sellers will give the cashier 25 cents for each of their books sold to help defray costs of the program.Currently, the Nebraska Book Company buys students' books and sells them back to Western for aprofit. The bookstore then sells the books back to the students at a profit. "The book exchange wouldact as a-go- between for students to keep the flow of money between them," Sobel said. AS PresidentKathy Walker praised â€¢the plan, saying it was one of the issues in her campaign platform a year ago."This will fulfill a real need because people'feel they've been ripped off at the end of the quarter," Sobelsaid. Both Sobel and Walker credit Alan Cote, chairman of the bookstore council, for putting the newidea into effect. "I got the idea from a student about six months ago," Cote said. The AS board will hireabout three people to work at the book exchange. Students now will have a choice whether they wantcash at a low guaranteed rate with the Nebraska Book Company . or if they want to take a chance andsell their books at a better price, Sobel said. â€”Mick Boroughs ---------- Western Front - 1980 March 11 - Page 2 ---------- AS needs watchdog Recent resignations by Jack Howard and Ron Wells show all is not serene with theAssociated Students. The AS might dismiss the two as politicians lacking necessary skill and ambition to remain, but it also should be recognized a major portion of their grievances very well could be valid. Ifso, students should act accordingly. It seems Howard and Wells are disillusioned with the AS. Thiscould be traced to a board trait of "unity at all costs," where disagreement and individualism often arediscouraged. Howard is known for his fiscal conservatismâ€”he does not like to waste AS money, hesaid. Thus, he often has been at odds with the rest of the board. Wells also has belittled what he believes is AS ineptitude and mismanagement. As an outsider of the board, he said the AS has shunned hisattempts to solve those problems. It is possible Howard and Wells are completely wrongâ€”the AS might be spending money wisely, its members might be acting responsibly. But what if Howard and Wells have legitimate complaints? Students cannot take a chance. Without Howard and Wells to criticize theAS, students might lose. Now that they are gone, students must watch the AS more closely. Nextquarter, as it was this quarter, AS board meetings begin at 4 p.m. Tuesdays. It would be wise to attendthem. â€” Comment- Kennedy audience duped by rhetoric There he was, a member of the Camelotbrigade, Joseph Kennedy, III. It seemed almost too good to be true: a Kennedy actually visiting sleepyBellingham. There must be a God! And ol* Joseph, looking dapper and handsome, didn't disappointhis adoring audience. As is the Kennedy custom, Joseph said nothing of substance. Instead, helaunched, into a tell-them- what-they-want-to-hear monologue. Joseph said his uncle opposes the draft;he opposes nuclear power; he opposes letting the free market system run itself; he opposescorporations. And when asked about his uncle's stance on foreign policy, Joseph replied that Teddyopposes repressive regimes. In effect, Joseph catered, not unexpectedly, to the whims of the audience,an audience long on Utopian dreams but short on contact with life's realities. Joseph said his uncle wouldincrease social welfare programs without once mentioning who will pay for them and how much taxes will be increased to meet the bills. But the audience didn't mind. They cheered and applauded / Joseph'sexhortations, and only asked him questions that would elicit a favorable response. â€¢ The crowd'sconduct was disgustingâ€”and frightening. It was disgusting and frightening because one would think that people considering themselves educated would look beyond the surface, beyond the charisma. But thestudents didn't; they were too caught up in nostalgia. They seem to believe that once Teddy becomespresident, America will be fine and good works will once again prevail. It's all too easy. They seem tohave forgotten, as the Kennedy clan apparently has, that no easy solutions exist. That requires morethan a family espousing idealism and people who fail to grasp reality. The crowd that adored Kennedylast week is no different from the people who blindly follow Ronald Reagan, or those now jumping on theJohn Anderson bandwagon without stopping to examine the candidate beyond his rhetoric. Kennedy'sfans here proved they are much like the candidate they adoreâ€”full of nothing. â€”Steve Valandra Â©1979 The New* and Otacrver DiXntiuWd by L.A. Times Syndicate Comment Courts should take closerlook when deciding custody cases While women have struggled for fair treatment in the job market,they have maintained a distinct advantage in another area for much too long. Thanks to outdated sexroles, women are still favored in an overwhelming majority of child custody battles, with nine out of10 children of divorced parents ending up in sole custody of the mother. Courtroom prejudice in favorof the divorced mother is robbing many fathers of a role too long thought to belong to women. Judgesassign youngsters to the . mother so routinely that lawyers - usually advise their male clients not tobother bringing a case. New York Supreme Court Justice Sybil Hart admitted that a custody fight is"an act of futility unless the woman is a prostitute and practicing in front of her children, or a chronicalcoholic Who falls down drunk, or a psychotic who is threatening the children's lives." Evidently, thecriteria for motherhood is minimal. Supposedly, custody is based oh the "best interests of the child." Achild's best interest is not necessarily his mother. Fifty-nine percent of women 18 to 64 now work; thebelief that the.mother spends more time with her child is no longer true. Women, by nature, are no more qual ified to raise a child than is a man. Anyone can open a can of soup, throw a load of clothes in amachine or drop a child off at a day care center. What matters is how much love and support a child willreceive. A myth, apparently alive and well in many courtrooms, is that' men lack the inherent capacity to love and nurture a child and generally wish to be free of children after divorce. Any man willing to take a case to court and face an outrageous legal bill is undoubtedly sincere. Researchers at Harvard havefound that social conditions mold the way fathers relate t,o their children and a potential exists amongmen for caring for their young. A child needs a motherâ€”all psychologists agree on this point. But isa woman a superior mother to a man? Or is it that society has imbedded the notion in little boys' mindsthat the ultimate goal in life is to be a Green Bay Packer, mean and grisly. Motherhood. How endearingare the connotations of the word. But let's face it: gone are the Ozzie and Harriet days of cookies afterschool and dinner at six. In homes where both parents work, a child receives no more attention from hismother than from his father. Men deserve a chance. In a study of 130 fathers, a Brandeis Universitysociologist found that single dads become more people-oriented and less concerned with work. While itis a shame that a child cannot be raised by both parents, when a choice must be made, let it be judgedon the parent's capacity to love, not on gender. â€”Shellee Nunley Senate solves divorce When theyrealized that too many of Washington's sons and daughters weren't taking marriage seriously, the stateSenate arrived at a remarkably roundabout remedyâ€” raise the cost of a marriage license to $ 16 from $8. That should certainly cause the three out of five couples who refuse to wait' till death do them part to think twice. Perhaps it also shows which of love or money forges the strongest bond. Americans are,after all, naturally good at business. If marriage came to be a financial enterprise, it might have abetter chance. Staying married not only saves you the loss of $ 16, but also from investing $58 in aDo-It-Yourself Divorce Kit. These politicians have a great affection for doubling things . interest rates,marriage licenses, their own salaries . . . that sort of thing. It's just simpler, you see, because even thepeople who never could grasp fractions or percents could wield the twos of the multiplication table.AlLthe extra $8 that doubling brings will pay counselors to tell fighting spouses why and how to staymarried. Let it be understood this bill didn't pass with a landslide, the fine score 28-21. Some feared theincrease would extinguish couples enthusiasm for the institution, encouraging that nasty habit oflicentious cohabitation without white lace and license. Perhaps more of the opposition were just notimpressed by the bill's potential effectiveness. â€”Beth Herman Editorial Policy Staff Opinionsexpressed in editorials reflect those of the Western Front and not' necessarily those of the university orthe student body.

At this pointwe'd like to clarify our position. One of our concerns is efficiency. We've seen indications ofinefficiency, especially in the business and financial affairs department. An example we pointed out earlier related to the decision to place more students in the Birnam Wood and Buchanan Towerapartments. When we questioned that policy we were told that 874 students were rejected from thehousing and dining system last fall due to lack of space. We later discovered the true figure to be 342. Another situation occurred a year earlier when a 5 percent housing rate increase was rescinded when itwas discovered that a housing employee had overlooked two months income. Mistakes such as theseoften occur due to human error. But if no one is reviewing and checking, simple mistakes can becompounded into serious problems. The administration then finds itself in a position in which it feels itmust defend itself. Though efficiency seems to be a problem, our main concern is with honesty andopenness. Decisions are made regularly at this university behind closed doors. Decisions having asignificant impact on students' lives should be made with student involvement. In the case of theBirnam Wood/ Buchanan Towers issue, University President Paul Olscamp set the policy first, andthen asked the committee on housing and dining for input. Concerning the new freshman priority housing policy, the process was similar. Asking for our input after decisions have been reached is pointless. We don't respect tokenism. We're disturbed by a situation that has come to light during the past week.Last year, Olscamp created the Energy Conservation Advisory Committee (ECAC). He admitted that hisintention was to use energy conservation to raise money for a faculty pay increase. While a salary raiseis in order, we expressed our opinion that it is an inappropriate motivation for conservation. We havebeen pushing for serious, ongoing energy conservation efforts. The administration has agreed toseveral plans. Included were commitments to create an ongoing student internship, to print acomprehensive insert for the Front, to distribute a building closure policy poster describing feedback channels, and to include a substantial energy conservation education funding request for the 1981-83 operating budget. Now it seems the administration is backing out of some of these commitments.We're not sure whether this indicates a lack of openness or a lack of honesty. But we are clear that astatement such as "This is not a high priority on my desk" is not an adequate reason for scuttlingdecisions reached in campus committees or other meetings. There is an inherent limitation in ourpointing out inadequacies in policies or procedures used in reaching those policies. We can onlycomment on actions we know about. We usually know of actions -only after they have occurred. We doour best to learn of and positively impact plans while they are still open. That's our job as yourrepresentatives. But for us to be most effective requires cooperation and openness by the administration. Kathy Walker Greg Sobel BA degree info Western Front: Until I talked to Registrar Eugene Omey last month, I was under the impression that a bachelor's degree was awarded for each major completed. Ideclared two majors assuming I would be awarded two degrees upon their completion. That is not thecase. A double major is simply part of a degree program as is a major-minor combination. Anothermisconception I have found among some of my friends is that 500-level courses apply toward the 180credits needed for graduation. They do not. It is my hope that this letter will save other seniors frombeing shocked at the time of their credit evaluation. Wayne E. Wakefield Drivers beware WesternFront: I ask that you please let this testimony- be a warning to other fellow students who wish tosave a few dollars by performing a minor car maintenance check, an oil and a filter change. Do notperform the operation at a coin-operated car wash. Although the drainage gratings allow the oil to drainfreely, and the overhead shelter offers protection from the rain, the fine for polluting the environmentis $500, and the bail is $ 150. The advantages are not worth the loss of $650, espe-. cially when youwant to save' money in the first place. The car wash was recommended to me by friends as the ideallocation to change engine oil. I found out differently. While I was changing the oil in my car at a carwash, the owner informed me that my actions were unlawful. He said that the drains were connected tothe city's sewage system. The only method of removing the oil from the drains is to have it pumpedout, a costly operation. Instead of turning me in to the authorities, the owner asked that I inform othersthat a car wash is not the place to change engine oil. Because of his concern for the environment, hisbusiness, his understanding that many folks are unaware of the violation, he allowed me to learn frommy mistake without having to pay $650, under one condition, that I tell others of my experience. Hedecided that, this once, he would employ the old-style punishment of "lecturing and giving a warning."My lesion is the one warning. He really does not want to see students getting in trouble with the lawand having to shell out $650 which they more than likely do not have. So, take heed and really saveyourself some money: invest in an oil pan. Theresa Yarnell Questions tax Western Front: As I wasreading the cover story in the March 4 Front concerning the transit fare hike, I noticed an interesting anddisturbing point:- that the elimination of the state sales tax on food has also cut funding of the city'stransit system. I would like to know which services to state residents were cut or dropped with thisloss in state revenue and which ones were kept. Considering our present governor's policies, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if state funding of nuclear waste dumps and new highway projects, such as thecontroversial 1-90 bridge, that promote increased private vehicle use, remained untouched. The time is past due for a hard look at our priorities. I feel that mass transit is a valuable and sensible way todecrease our dependence on foreign fossil fuels and to conserve energy. It hurts to see that the statedoesn't alstvfeel this way.

For the last few years, Westernstudents from British Columbia have not paid out-of-state tuition. Since last month Washingtonresidents attending British Columbia colleges get the same break. This change resulted from a billpassed by the state Legislature Feb. 18, establishing a committee to consult nearby states andBritish Columbia about possible reciprocal tuition agreements. Sen. H.A. "Barney" Goltz, chairman ofthe Higher Education Committee, said the new reciprocal tuition agreement will be a benefit touniversities and students. Goltz said it will allow students to attend schools in other areas, that havebetter programs than in this state, thus saving the student out-of-state tuition costs. It will save the statemoney because programs will not have to be developed here that are offered elsewhere. The committeealso has worked out reciprocal agreements between counties in Washington and Oregon that arelocated along the Columbia River, and now is studying possible agreements with Montana and Idaho,Goltz said. â€”Dave Thomsen Law and religion meet An appeal of the Feb. 27 decision confirming the legality of Western's recognition policy probably will be filed soon, said Mike Dittman, Westernstudent and lead plaintiff in the original lawsuit. The campus religious groups will meet with their lawyersthis week to determine when to file the appeal, Dittman said. He said U.S. District Court Judge TJonaldVoorhees' opinion was vague and did not settle the issue of restriction of religious groups' FirstAmendment freedoms of speech, assembly and religion. "You've got freedom of speech as long as it's not religious," Dittman said. The decision, he said, concentrated on state and federal constitutionsrequiring separation of church and state. "We don't believe that's the overriding issue," Dittman said.Dittman added grounds for the appeal probably would be the religious groups' First Amendment rightsand 14th Amendment right to due process of law. He said the meeting with the lawyers will determinethe exact grounds. â€”-Barbara Jarvis T SHIRTS SWEATSHIRTS JACKETS CLUB TEAMDISCOUNTS 1111 N. State Street (1 block so. of Herald Bldg. 676-1440 Services Council to attemptquorum r ^tas* wrile Tomorrow, the University Services Council (USC) will try again to attain aquorum. If successful, the group will conduct its first meeting this quarter. The USC, comprised of fivestudents, three administrators and two faculty advisors, develops policy for non-academic studentservices. The USC supervises services such as the bookstore, housing and dining and financial aids todetermine "if they are operating in the best interests of the whole university," said Luis Ramirez,USC administration representative. The USC also reviews student complaints. Before making policydecisions, however, a quorum of six persons is necessary. The council has fallen short in its twoprevious meetings this quarter. Six members contacted by the Front said schedule conflicts prevented the necessary quorum. "It's been an insane quarter," said Tom Schworer, a student representativewho has been on tour with the drama department all quarter, and has not been present at either of theUSC meetings. Faculty representative Carol McRandle said committee sessions are scheduled duringthe day because many of the students live off campus. Because she had a class scheduled that hour, she said she could not attend the first meeting. Student representative Karen Tofte. who has attendedeach meeting, said the possibility of 5 p.m. committee sessions was once discussed but "it came outpretty negative." Another student representative, Phil Kneisley, who learned of his membership the night before the first meeting, said he could not rearrange his schedule on such short notice. The USC willbe more active spring quarter, he predicted. â€”Mike Brotherton LOST: Blue necklace with sentimental value. Reward offered. Call 676-3660 weekdays, 8-5. Quality Typing.

Francis Coppola, writer-producer- director, provides theviewer with an imaginative picture of what it was like during those hellish years of the war. Of coursenobody really knows.what it was like unless they were actually there. The cinematography in"Apocalypse Now" is excellent in scenes such as the helicopter attack on the Viet Cong led by thelieutenant colonel (Robert Duvall). And the trip up the river by Army Capt. Willard. (Martin Sheen) andthe three young American soldiers in search of Col. Kurtz (Marlon Brando) is creatively done, leavingthe viewer in suspense. Other scenes, such as the American soldiers waterskiing and the scenewhen the tiger leaps out of the bushes to scare two American soldiers, are comic relief to the gory film.After one soldier is killed on the river, Willard and the two remaining men finally reach Kurtz, who isliving with natives and military drop-outs. Scene after scene of decapitated bodies lying around is a clearmessage of Kurtz's insanity and his desire to kill. Willard finally murders Kurtz with a machete while thenatives slaughter water buffalo nearby. "Apocalypse. Now," filmed for more than $24 million, is anexcellent film about war. But the end of the movie was sloppily done and takes away some of thequality. If "Apocalypse Now" wins any of the eight academy awards it is nominated for, which it probably will, it should be for special effects only. â€”Chuck Mingori and the nominees are . "KRAMER VS.KRAMER / # BREAKING AWAY 'Breaking Away9 may steal Oscar Actor Dennis Christopher wins two ways in the racing movie, "Breaking Away." He places first in a bicycle race in his hometown ofBloomington, Ind., becoming the town hero, and he succeeds in playing the clean-cut, all-Ameri-can boy that Director Peter Yates seems to want. Christopher steals the show as Dave, a "cutter" and town boywho doesn't attend the local university or drive fast sports cars like the college frat crowd. He has anItalian fetish which drives his father crazy; his cat's name is Fel-lini and he shaves his legs in time toItalian opera music. It also sets him apart from his other friends who are normal, but boring. Cyril (DanielStern) is shy and ready to apologize for anything, Mike (Dennis Quaid) regrets his loss of status fromquarterback to summer bum, and Moocher (Jackie Earle Haley) desperately wants to grow up; heattempts this feat by getting married to a local girl. The low-budget movie is light-hearted with a goodrapport between the actors, especially Dave and his father. Although predictable, the plot is aguaranteed tear-jerker when Dave admits he really is neither an Italian nor a cutter. He carries on. Thefilm's climax is when Dave wins a bicycle race-despite numerous setbacks. He then settles happilyinto society and college life, until he meets a French girl. Then life takes another twist. Hardlyconsidered a big Oscar contender, "Breaking Away" could steal the hearts of the voters at the AcademyAwards. â€”Sue Borter Best Picture nominee, "All That Jazz" long on self-indulgence, short in real depth "All That Jazz" is an autobiographical sketch of director Bob Fosse that seeks to show him through theeyes of director Fosse as well as through the mind of the man Fosse. The movie is a surrealistic journey as we follow Fosse in the making of a film. Interspersed with this film within a film is Fosse, played byRoy Scheider, talking with "Death"as he appraises his own life, mostly hjs sexual life. The Fossecharacter Joe Gideon, is supposedly the synthesis of many characters, the most dominating of whichis Fosse. It seeks to show a man whose life is dominated by his job so that the two are inseparable:Gideon is an oversexed workaholic driven alternately by extreme egotism and self-doubt whose morningbegins ' with a dexedrine, a shower and the words 'â€¢ "showtime" before the mirror. Each day it endswith him in the bed with his latest "love." The movie is visually a knockout and ' the viewer is at timesoverwhelmed by the dynamics on the screen. It helps to offset a script that is long in self indulgence and short in real depth. Were it not for the dance scenes and lavish sets and costumes the film would notbe watchable. /-â€ž T Gary Lorentson Henry steals "Kramer" show "Kramer vs Kramer" has beennominated for nine Academy Awards, among those, Dustin Hoffman for best actor, and Meryl Streepand Jane Alexander for supporting actress, not to mention Best Picture. But the central character, theobject of controversy, without whom there would have been no picture, was overlooked. As Billy Kramer,Justin Henry stole every scene he appeared in. Maybe it was the blond hair, those huge waif-like eyes,or the kind of childish innocence that gets to most, but Henry has got to be one of the best child actorsto hit Hollywood in a quarter.century. When Billy laughed, the audience laughed, when Billy hurt, theaudience hurt, and when he cried, the moist eyes in the theater outnumbered the dry ones. Not todetract from Hoffman, Streep or Alexander,.all were excellent in their parts, especially Hoffman. If ever hedeserved an Oscar, it's now as much as ever. Kramer is probably his finest effort to date. "Kramer vsKramer" came out just in time to offer relief to America's movie goers, who must be tiring of space flicksand horror movies. Kramer is a love story, a dramatic and intense story, and best of all, it has a happyending. Or at least a satisfactory one, for those rooting for fatherhood. Right now "Kramer vs Kramer" isthe hottest movie in the country, grossing more than $3 million a week, and definitely is a front runner, if not the odds-on favorite to grab Best Picture accolades. â€¢ Lynn Keebaugh Field: 'Gidget' grows up"Norma Rae" probably won't win the academy award for best motion picture; its competition is too heavy. The leading actress, Sally Field, could take the best actress award, though. The film has a message,it's entertaining at times and moving. The true-life story focuses on Norma Rae, who was instrumentalin forming a union at a Southern textile mill, and a New York labor organizer named Rueben (RonLiebman). Their relation is platonicâ€”Norma Rae marries a local man (Beau Bridges)â€”put Reuben is acatalyst who changes Norma Rae's, and the town's, lifestyle. "It's the kind of film I'd take my nephew to," said Jerry Kuhn, owner of the Picture Show theater in Old Fairhaven. Shown there last summer, the film did a "slightly better than average run" of three weeks, he said. The movie probably will be brought backbecause of its academy award nominations, he added. Kuhn commented, as has everyone else who has seen the film, that Sally Field is now a serious actress. After playing such lightweight roles as TheFlying Nun, Gidget Goes t o . . . , and a Girl with Something Extra (ESP), she broke away fromtelevision, her husband and her home in 1974. She returned to the small screen in 1976 with "Sybil" (afilm about a schizophrenic, which won Field an Emmy). But "Norma Rae" has turned out to be her life-saver. She has escaped her typecast roles, and can be considered one of the great actresses today."Norma Rae" and Sally Field were nice surprises last year. EricHookham ---------- Western Front - 1980 March 11 - Page 6 ---------- esiern rront Tuesday, March 11, 1980 Wilsons dominate latest Heart release The circumstancessurrounding "Bebe Le Strange," Heart's fifth recording effort, create a 1980s equivalent to FleetwoodMac's "Rumours." But while Fleetwood decided that staying together was the best course for theirmusic's sake, Seattle's pride and joy went the opposite direction. Roger Fisher, the guitarist responsiblefor the wizardry of "Magic Man" and, more recently, the soaring leads in "Mistral Wind," is gone.Fisher's limited role in Heart's last album, "Dog and Butterfly," was an early clue to the eventualdeparture of fellow-guitarist Nancy Wilson's heartthrob. Mike Fisher, Roger's brother and the group'sformer sound man, has parted company with vocalist Ann Wilson and the group as well. It may soundlike a complicated script for "Days of Our Heart" or "AH My Rockstars,"but the musical result issimple: Ann and Nancy dominate the music almost as' much as they dominate the cover of Heart'slatest release. It is no secret the Wilson sisters are at the forefront of the group, and they deserve theposition. Ann's rich vocals improve with every album, and Nancy, whether playing acoustic or electric, is rock's premier female guitarist. Their talents, are constantly growing, but the Wilsons occasionallypush too hard on "Bebe Le Strange." Ann capably pounds the electric bass on the title track, but herbass work is suspect on "Sweet Darlin," the disc's finale. -"... Darlin" is otherwise a beau-' tifullyconstructed song featuring Ann on drums, alto flute, tambourine, acoustic guitar, piano, bass andvocals. Ann takes sole writing responsibility for the song, while childhood friend Susan Ennis (who firstappeared on "Dog and Butterfly") writes with the Wilson sisters on six of 10 songs. Nancy tries her hand at solo production, too, playing everything but drums on the self-penned "Raised On You." The songshowcases her versatility, but earlier compositions, notably "Treat Me Well" from "Little Queen" domore to enhance Nancy's playing style. The blond guitarist also uses the new album to record "SilverWheels," long a Heart concert number. Performed on an Adamas acoustic guitar on stage, Nancy usesa classical guitar to add a new" dimension to the instrumental. With Roger Fisher's departure, Nancy iscalled on to handle more electric guitar-parts. She takes the lead on "Even It Up," the album's firstsingle. The opening hook is reminiscent of "White Lightning and Wine" and "Heartless," but morecommercially accessible with the addition of the "Tower of Power" horn section. "Down oh Me" returnsHeart to the format of "Mother Earth Blues" from the "Magazine" release. Ann's vocals are heated andpowerful, and guitarist Howard Leese's lines are smooth, but he detracts from the cut with an annoying synthesizer line. Leese, who also handles keyboard duties, contributes the well-worn but effectivereverse-tape solo to "Break." The song keys on the power of Ann's vocals. "Now I know there's a crackin this plan/After a while there just ain't no more magic, man," Ann 'sings in "Break." Some may guessthe song is about Roger Fisher's split from the band, but a recently televised film of Heart in the studioshowed that Fisher was still with the group when the song was written. The new album should work well on stage with Heart's current cast, including the Wilsons, Leese, drummer Michael Derosier and bassplayer Steve Fossen. The sound is tight, but the live outcome of Heart standards like "Crazy On You"remains in question. Northwest fans must wait until late summer for an answer. Heart is scheduled toperform in Seattle with the "Bebe Le Strange" tour in August. â€”â€¢Kevin Stauffer Troupe will perform'Squash' The San Franciscd" Mime Troupe, contrary to its name, does not perform mime in thetraditional silent style. The troupe's productions are exaggerated musical comedies with originalscripts and music written by the members of the group. The politically oriented collective has beengiving free performances of its plays for 20 years in San Francisco Bay Area parks during the summer. The remainder of the year is spent touring the country witha play to raise money to finance the following summer's show. The group's current northwest coast tour of "Squash" includes performances inEugene, Portland, Olympia, Seattle and a showing in Bellingham tomorrow . night. The Mime Troupeoriginally was organized in 1959 by Ronnie Davis and a small group of actors who wanted to bringoriginal, avant-garde and meaningful theater to the people. The group began doing mime, then focusedon several plays by Bertolt Brecht and finally developed their own musical comedy style. Thegrowing success of the Mime Troupe prompted them to publish their own book, "By Popular Demand," which includes several of the group's best original plays and music and 150 photographs. Theyhave also made a recording of a few of their most successful songs from their plays. "Squash" will beperformed at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the Eagles Hall, 1125 N. Forest.

KimArrow, dance program director, has put together this program with his assistant, Peggy Cicierska,who describes it as a "movement theater event." The show, choreographed by Cicierska and Arrow, willbe performed by five actors and 11 dancers from the theater dance department. They will present several original abstract scenes and rhythmic dances. The title evolved from the recurrent theme ofrepressive cages, represented as stages in life from childhood, through adolescence, middle age and old age. The event is about manipulation, awareness and realization of these mental cages and the struggle to break free from their grasp, Cicierska said. To complement this theme, a mixture of Tibetan,Japanese and East Indian ethnic music was chosen for the performance. The combination of abstractpercussion rhythms and structured improvisational movement creates "images that have a surrealeffect," Arrow said. The 90-minute event will include dramatic scenes by acting students AnnetteDevick, Eve Minuck and Shari Watson. Dance solos will be performed by Brent Solvason, Mike Miller,Jennifer Havlin and Loren Whiteside, and an ironical scene with a comic element, written andperformed by Ian McRae-Graham. One scene, done in the style of absurdist playwrights EugeneIonesco and Samuel Beckett, is about three women, a grandmother, mother and daughter, hopelessly trying to bridge the generation gap. The combination of dance and drama in one event is somethingCicierska and Arrow have wanted to put together for some time. The result of these plans has been eight weeks of intensive rehearsals for â€¢ the performers, Cicierska said. "The kids have been veryresponsible. . .very enthusiastic and supportive. We've been working off of their energy," she said.The program finishes with a dance piece that brings all the movements together in unison. Thisemphasizes the thematic idea that perception is relative to context and that the awareness of anobject changes as surroundings change. "Cages",will be performed in the round at 8:15 p.m. tomorrow t h r o u g h S a t u r d a y in the Performing Arts Center 199. Tickets are $3 for general admission, $2for students. For more information, call the.

In the lower registers Danielssometimes exhibited a husldness reminiscent of the better femme jazz singers, and in the upper a crystal purity of tone...

Ed Baker, SEATTLE TIMES "... it's becoming obvious that in only two years Dee hadreached the top of the Northwest entertainment scene, and is still on her way u p . . . Dee is a beautifulblack woman who is a pleasure to watch perform... Dee Daniels can sing and perform, with grace, styleand a vast amount of talent... When Dee performs she generates a warm, close bond between herself and her audience. It is something close to an electric empathy." THE GUIDE "Dee is more than just asinger. She is an artist, creative and vitaL Sitting, slightly bent over her electric piano, her voice warms the lyrics and rhythms of blues and ballads. Then the tempo changes to an upbeat number and the powerand range of her voice become evident" Patricia Fisher, SEATTLE TIMES 1224 CornwallAvenue/Bellingham, Washington 98225 No Cover Charge Dee Daniels, one of the Northwest's mostpopular entertainers, will be performing at The Casino Lounge in the Leopold Hotel from 3/11/80 to3/22/80. Daniels, who has entertained audiences from Seattle to Los Angeles, has been acclaimed bycritics as a star on the edge of the horizon. A dynamic entertainer, Daniels has a voice that warms eachsong's lyrics, a four-octave range that gives them power, and a style that is exclusively hers. Unusuallyversatile, Daniels has performed with a band and as a singles act. Preferring the latter because it affordsher a special intimacy with her audiences, Daniels has developed two very distinctive approaches into her act. One is the monologue preface to a tune that has effectively enticed and suspended her audiences for the musical interlude that follows. The other is a piano introduction that sets the tone for both upbeattempos and lighthearted ballads. Using both in the course of an evening, Daniels has developed a special ability to reach out to every member of her audience in a way that says, "I'm here just for you." Equallyversatile is Daniels'expansive repertoire of the best of everyone's favorites, from lively disco, contemporary, and pop, to the moody and sorrowful blues. Like an accomplished jazz entertainer, her style involves amajor portion of improvisation on a melody line to give arrangements by such artists as Stevie Wonder,Dionne Warwick, Barbra Streisand and Billie Holliday, among others, the Dee Daniels personal touch.uÂ»i3%jSi.Â».~sy**--- â€¢ ---------- Western Front - 1980 March 11 - Page 8 ---------- â€¢ 8 Western Front Tuesday, March !!, 1980 H^H^WUJJJ , ^^^i^.Tjrtar^r^n CCA* ATTEACTICNS March11 Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, recently a finalist in the regional American College TheaterFestival, ends tonight at 8:15 p.m. in the PAC, Main Auditorium.

They are seniors and were a big reason for the Vikings sterling 24-3 record, (photo by RickRoss) The looks on the faces summed the thoughts of the minds behind them: a record of 24-3 andgoing nowhere but back home. The Western women's team was ranked 11th in the country in AIAWDivision II and was the favorite in the Region IX tournament in Moscow, Idaho. Stress the past tense.Buoyed by the support of a small but raucous home crowd, the University of Idaho Vandals capturedthe region championship, 68-56, Saturday night. On Friday night, Western defeated the University ofAlaska-Fairbanks Nanooks, 82- 63, for the right to be in the championship game. The Viks got off to aslow start Saturday night, falling behind 9-2 in the first eight- minutes, and never really got back into theflow of the game. Western did come back to take an 11-10 edge at the 11:07 mark and tied the score at 13 three minutes later. But the big offense just did not materialize. "It had to be our worst offensivenight in two years," Western Coach Lynda Goodrich said. "Maybe I gave them too many options to think about." Western was fortunate that it was only down by five, 28-23, at the half. "Defense kept us in thegame in the-first half," Goodrich said. "I kept thinking our shots would start to drop and we would getback into rhythm. But we never did." Guard Willette White was Western's biggest problem as the 57"junior from Tacoma pumped in 12 points in the second half and had a team-high 17 for the game.Western 82, Alaska-Fairbanks 63 The Vikings overcame some bizarre happenings in Friday's game torecord their 24th win of the season. Jo Metzger picked up her third, fourth and fifth fouls in a three-minute span early in the second half after the Nanooks had closed to within nine. Bonna Schibret picked upthe slack by scoring five straight points after Metzger fouled out and the lead increased to 61-40. Alaska never recovered.

A glance in a sporting goods store or at a magazine rack proves that jogging is now an important part of the sports industry. Pr. Richard Skudlarick, a podi-atist who runs theBellingham Foot Clinic, is not surprised. "Jogging gives immediate benefits. It's good for thecardiovascular respiratory system," he' said. "Jogging reduces the incidence of coronary arterydisease or heart attacks. It strengthens the heart muscles, keeps cholesterol down and keeps you ingood condition." Skudlarick said beginning joggers should "listen"to their bodies. "If it hurts,something is wrong," he said. "Find out what that something is." Before jogging, the major muscles surrounding the hips, legs and back should be stretched, Skudlarick said. "It's important to have agood stretching routine." Skudlarick said such a routine take* about 20 minutes; A beginning joggerdoesn't become a marathon runner overnight. "You don't have to run very far at first," Skudlaricksaid. "If you are out of breath, you are doing too much, too soon. Build up your endurance." Skudlaricksaid if a jogger can run three miles in 24 minutes, the person is in "halfway decent" shape. Hesuggested a person needs to jog only three times a week to keep fit. Jogging does have itsdrawbacks, however. Pronation, a common jogging disorder, occurs when the foot moves excessively beyond its normal range of motion. Skudlarick said pronation can lead to heel, knee and hip pain orshin splints. "If a jogger has pains that won't go away, have it checked," he said. But Skudlarick said the positive aspect of jogging overrules the negative. "Jogging is like being on a high," he said. "It relaxesyou and lets you forget about your problems. It is an enjoyable mind trip." â€”James Huntington THEBEGINNING JOGGER will probably want to invest $25 to $35 in a pair of specially designed runningshoes.

Â» ^ Top climber visits here Jim Donini has climbedmountains all over the world; In 1976, he' and two* other climbers were the first to scale the 1,300 footrock and ice tower of Torre Egger in the Patagonia region of Argentina. It has not been scaled since.Donini was an expedition member of the ascent of a jungle-covered rock tower in the Venezuelanrainforest. Film of that ascent was shown on the television show "American Sportsman" several monthsago. He was also a member of. a recent American expedition to Latok 1, a peak in the Karakorammountain range in Pakistan. Recreational climbing is not dangerous if a person has proper equipmentand has skills to use it, Donini said. Students at his climbing school in Leavenworth are often unsure oftheir mountaineering abilities at first, he said, because they aren't familiar with the equipment. Theybecome more confident as they gain an understanding of their equipment and their ability, he said.Donini has experienced only bruises and minor cuts while climbing. The closest he has come to deathwas nbt.on a mountainside, but on a road in England, he said. He was driving to Leeds to present a slide show when he accidentally ran a stop sign and was struck by another vehicle. Bad weather,avalanches, glaciers and high altitudes are dangers to even the best climbers. During the Torre Eggerclimb, one member of a New Zealand expedition fell in a glacial crevasse and died before his fellowclimbers and Donini's group could reach him. On the July 1978 expedition to Latok 1 in the KarakoramRange, one member became seriously ill. The team was stuck in a snow cave on the mountainside andwas forced to wait for the storm to subside. After waiting two days, they were running low on food andfuel and decided to descend. They were able to make it down the mountain, and as they went lower, the ill expedition member began to improve. Donini said he thought the illness was a viral infection that theclimber's body had been unable to fight because of the high altitude and a shortage of food. At present,Donini makes his living as a sales representative for Wilderness Experience and Kas-tinger, twooutdoor equipment manufacturers. He took the job to help provide steady income after he marriedJuanita, who also climbs, he said. They have two children, a girl, Sage, 3, and a five-month-old boy,Montana. Information on his climbing school, Leavenworth,.

"This is probably the best team toever sport Western's colors," Lewis said. Returning are sophomore Brian Anderson, Paul Savage, GregNoson and team captain Jeff Masterjohn, all juniors. Mark Aaron, one of the three transfers, is from FortSteila-coom Community College. The other two are Dan Toohey, a sophomore from Highline Community College, and Al White, a junior from Skagit Valley College. White attended Western last year but didnot try out for the team for personal reasons, Lewis said. Like the women's team, only onefreshmanâ€”Tony Tappinâ€” is on the men's squad. Tappin played tennis for Sehome High School twoyears ago. He is an exceptional tournament player, ; Lewis said. The men's and women's teamscurrently are engaged in a round-robin tournament at the Bellingham Tennis Club.

Despite a gloomy economic outlook, the report states prospects are good for graduateswith degrees in accounting, business, computer science, engineering, teaching and technology and forliberal arts graduates with specific skills. Business, computer science and engineering were described by the center direc- ' tor, Louis Lallas, as the "blue chip fields" in the report, though hiring gains of 17percent more than last year were reported in all areas. Teaching positions continue to be tight, Lallassaid in the report, but they . are available. Accounting and business graduates hiring increased 10percent from a year ago, the report states. Western does not offer an engineering degree, but graduatesin industrial technology were sought by many managers who consider that training a practical or 'applied engineering degree. The Boeing, General Telephone and The "Leave it to Beaver" type family isdisappearing most panelists agreed at the Women's Week "Options for Parenting" session in the VikingUnion Lounge last week. "The nuclear family is still a part of popular national mythology . . . that's kindof frightening," John McClendon said. "Everyone wants to believe in that myth, but it is only a myth."McClendon, a Fairhaven faculty member, is a father who shares joint custody of his children with hisex-wife, who lives in Canada. The two children spend six months in Canada, then six months inBellingham. "I was really impressed with myself when I began to mother, not realizing that for years indivorce situations, women have had to learn to father," McClendon said. Traditionally, mothers nurturedthe children while fathers administered discipline, he said. Those roles were never healthily integrated inone parent, he said. Pacific Northwest Bell companies are among firms hiring Western's industrialtechnology graduates, the report stated. Lallas said he was satisfied with the success of the center. "We have been showing slow but steady improvement over the last five years," he said. Many employers now are using the center to hire students before they graduate, Lallas said. Lallas referred to the report,which stated that on-campus recruiting increased 9 percent over last year. Bob Thirsk, associatedirector of the center, said participants in a "cooperative education program" offered through thecenter, did particularly well in securing jobs. The program offers field experience and is similar to atraditional internship, Thirsk said. Students in the program work in their designated fields betweenuniversity studies alternating theory and practical experience. Other American universities indicatesimilar hiring and recruiting trends by employers. Corporate recruiters think it was a mistake to curtailcollege hiring during the With the disintegration of traditional family structures, "traditional" disciplinealso'disappears as psychologists infiltrate the home and child-raising. "Kids will" demand more controlover their own lives. I think that's healthy," McClendon. . said. President Carter's White HouseConference on the Family, originally intended to strengthen the family unit, has generated thequestion"What is the family?" Lawsuits are being filed in Washington and other.states concerning theselection of delegates to the national conference. Conservatives believe the family should be defined aspeople related by blood, marriage or adoption. Sandra Smith, a coordinator of the National Organizationof Women, disagreed. "Only 8 percent of American families today are composed of a father-breadwinner, mother-homemaker and children. The conservative definition of a family is practicallyextinct," she said. last economic downturn, a University of Michigan placement official reported recently. . They find themselves with a "bubble" in the pipeline of middle-management people, he said. Despitecurrent success of graduates in securing jobs, the future . remains unstable. According to theWashington State Employment Service's "Employment Outlook Handbook," retirements and deaths willaccount for 33 percent of all job openings between 1976 and 1985. The number of women and collegegraduates in the work force has increased constantly while the population has declined. The energycrisis has restricted transportation, and with it, tourism and other industries. Lallas and Thirsk arereluctant to speculate on what might happen in the future. "Right now there is a lot of mixed signalsand all we can do is try to read the signs," Lallas said. â€”Bill Gibson Many sociologists believe thedecline of the traditional family is proportional to the rise of American individualism. Personal goals andcomfort are winning the allegiance which once belonged to family relationships and commitments.Rutgers sociologist Richard Boo-cock wrote "What nurtures the family unit is in conflict with whatmaximized personal development. You can't have it both ways." Washington State Research Councilsays the agenda for the '80s includes "an abundance of young adults, mounting numbers ofelderly,.relatively few children, more working women and even more . divorces." Recognizing that three out of five marriages in Washington end in divorce, state legislators recently passed a bill whichdoubled the price of a marriage license and alloted the extra money to provide counseling. â€”BethHerman Nuclear family a national myth ; â€¢. â€¢. *. i V * x \ 12 Western Front Tuesday, March 11,1980 Western Front 'Alternative' woos Seattle Presidential candidate John Anderson flew into SeattleSaturday and spent six hectic hours crisscrossing the city giving speeches in a less than carefullyorchestrated media event. Anderson took time off from heavy campaigning in. Illinois to try to attractdelegates at Washington state's precinct caucuses tonight. Anderson landed at Seattle-TacomaInternational airport at 11:20 a.m. to address an audience of 350 reporters and supporters. Greeted byWashington state campaign coordinator and Seattle attorney Doug Jewett and Republican Party state chairmen Ken Eikenberry, Anderson delayed his speech for. several minutes to allow the ABC andCBS-TV film crews time to arrive for the event. . Partially in jest, Jewett announced: "Now we wantanother spontaneous reaction," which he got after the camera crews had arrived and Anderson wasannounced. Anderson spoke for 20 minutes, reiterating his pre-campaign pledge that his campaignwould go on as "long as we have clean laundry." He said his ever growing collection of donated sockswas proof of growing enthusiasm for his candidacy. He said he is committed to "talking common sensewith the American public. That is what this campaign is all about," he said. He defended his plan for a50-cent tax on the price of gasoline. "The $90 to $100 billion the U.S. pays to foreign countries . for theiroil is ripping up the economic fabric of the country," he said. The money accrued from the tax would gointo a trust fund in the Social Security system for the elderly and would revert back to the worker as abreak in Social Security taxes, he said. Addressing Gerald Ford's possible entry into the race, Anderson called the former President a "good friend" and said that if he enters the race because he thinks theRepublican nominee can't win, "He doesn't have to worry," he said, "John Anderson is gonna win."Touching on the disposal of nuclear wastes at Hanford, he stopped short of advocating stopping allshipments, but he said dumping grounds should be established regionally in the United States. He saidthe federal government should study the problem of waste disposal fully before permitting more nuclear JOHN ANDERSON CAMPAIGNS in Seattle Saturday to gain votes in to day's precinct caucuses inWashington, (photo by Gary Lorentson) pl^i ts. On the draft, Anderson said he is "totally opposed ,toregistration for the draft during peacetime," and that the volunteer army is sufficient for the country'sneeds. He said President Carter reacted prematurely and excessively to the Russian invasion ofAfghanistan. He should have "built a diplomatic foundation" of Japan and Western European allies towork together against the Russian foray. Anderson then went to the Seattle Center where he addresseda convention of high school students participating in a mock regional nominating convention forDemocratic and Republican candidates. Obviously revelling in the waving of Anderson signs and thecheering of students, he gave a speech that was never condescending and did not differ considerably from his earlier talks. But the effects of that were obvious on the way out of the hall, as a young girl,responding to his answer on balancing the budget and defecit spending, asked him, "Mr. Anderson, whatis a deficit?" Later is was announced Anderson had carried the convention with 67 percent of the votefollowed by Ronald Reagan with 14 percent. AJ the. University oL^Washing^m he addressed a massivecrowd estimated at between 2,000 and 4,000 people, the larg-' est audience, he said, he had spoken tooh his campaign. On the press bus, Anderson's press secretary Bill O'Donnell said Anderson's recentsuccess is due to his "talking common sense with the American people." But, he said, Anderson'sappearance in the "Doonesbury"cartoons and a reputation as a "counterculture candidate" also havehelped. '.â€¢:.'"â€¢'. He agreed the press "has picked up on Anderson as its candidate" in much thesame way the press picked up Eugene McCarthy in 196?. On the way back to the airport, . O'Donnelltold aides, "Orubalance, it's been a hell of a day." 1 But, he said, the tight schedule, had Andersonrushing around too quickly making it difficult for TV cameras to film his arrivals and departures. "Weneeded to slow down," he said, "and have more space in between speeches. They (the TV cameras) will tell the Washington state story." ;* Back at the airport, Anderson falketi quickly to the dwindled remains of the press, then left at 5:30 p.m. for Chicago for more campaigning. â€¢':'-' â€”Gary LorentsonPPPPP
