But now things have changed. In thepast year alone, shocked administrators and students watched helplessly as lawmakers in Olympiasliced almost 20 percent from the budget of higher education. With further cuts still a distinctpossibility, the future of entire academic programs now are in doubt. During the next nine months, and inthe years that follow, that future will be determined. Forecasts of what that future may be, vary, but topadministrators agree that the changes Western now is experiencing are immense. In addition to massivereductions in funding, enrollment is expected to decline by as much as 9 percent. The drop will endangermany programs dependent upon student-paid fees for their existence. Meanwhile, the school awaits thearrival of a new leader. University President Paul Olscamp announced his resignation last March,setting the stage for an intensive search for a successor, due to be named some time in December. Thechanges extend even further. Economic realities have forced a major shift in the way students use theirpolitical power. While this campus once was a hotbed for political radicalism, a very mainstream student-funded interest group, the Washington Student Lobby, debuts this fall. Although Western is shrinkingfinancially, physically it still has been allowed to grow. Construction of the South Academic Building, to be used primarily*for business-related courses, has been completed. Planned and approved several years ago, it could signify the last remnant of Western's era of expansion. If the era of growth has ended, thenwhat era lies ahead? One thing top administrators stress is that any move that would weaken Western'semphasis on the liberal arts must be avoided. "My biggest fear is that the university system could bemodified in such a way that the regional schools (such as Western) could all become technical schools," said Tom Quinlan, vice president for student affairs. "These kind of budget cuts curtail our availabiity tooffer a liberal arts education." Hard economic times also have been reflected in the way studentschoose their classes. "I've seen students become more focused on careers and on their education as ameans to a career, sometimes more than they should," Quinlan .said. Acting University President James Talbot agreed with Quinlan that students have been shying away from less practical academic programs, but he stressed that Western's future will remain tied to the liberal arts. "Students need to be reassuredthat following that world of ideas will still put bread on the table," Talbot said. Professional studies, oncecalled the "servile arts," provide applicable skills for the job market, hut liberal arts complement everypart of daily life, he said. While emphasizing Western's commitment to the liberal arts, Talbot and otheradministrators also raised questions of future cuts in low-enrollment programs. Talbot said further budgetcuts certainly will mean elimination of some programs and the consolidation of others. A committee nowis being formed to examine what programs may be terminated, he said. The future of various programs atWestern is dependent, of course, on future legislative actions in Olympia. And Talbot pre- . diets, the'legislature will dig even deeper into Western's already . ; continued on page 16 ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 2 ---------- Western Front Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Enrollment drop may cut deep By MITCH EVICH Thisyear's budget for student-funded programs may be as much as 9 percent smaller than last year, if alarger-than-antici-pated enrollment decline proves true. And although much of the decline had beenexpected and budgeted into this year's Service and Activity fee split allocations, it still will wield a"significant impact on student programs," Tom Quinlan, vice president for student affairs, said. The dropin enrollment, tentatively estimated between 800 and 900 students, about 100 more than predicted inMarch, is primarily the result of an administrative policy adopted to maintain the stan rd faculty-student ratio of 22-to-one in the wake of last fall's Reduction in Force, in which 48 faculty members losttheir jobs. "If we had not taken steps to reduce our enrollment, we'd be in a hell of a mess," saidRegistrar Eugene Omey, explaining why admission standards to Western were tightened. "Hopefully, by keeping the student-faculty ratio intact, the quality of education that each student receives will not beas affected." Although it is not yet known just how much the enrollment drop will affect each of the three constituents of S A feesâ€”the Associated Students, the Depart-mentally Related Activities'Committee, and the Housing and Dining system, administrators agree that all student-funded programswill need to be closely scrutinized. "We have less money to meet greater demand," Quinlan said. "Wehave to look very closely at our priorities, and find out what programs are the most important." About$60 from each student's quarterly tuition goes into S A fees. The money is used to fund a variety ofprograms, ranging from interscholastic athletics, to day care, to various programs within the housing and dining system. The funding for such programs is going down, but the cost of operating them is not."On the one hand, inflation is forcing operating costs up all the time," Quinlan noted. "At the same time,enrollment goes down, and S A fees are reduced correspondingly.'' AS President Mark Murphypredicted the increased enrollment reduction "would make a dent" in the AS budget, but most likelywould be dealt with smoothly. Keith Guy, Director of University Residences, said the housing anddining system, which receives the largest portion of S A fees, will not be severely affected by the cost of the S A funding itself. Rather, the impact of the enrollment drop will be felt more directly, in the formof reduced occupancy in residence halls. The housing and dining system receives most of its fundingthrough room and board fees. Deparmentally Related Activities Committee chairman Larry Richardsonwas unavailable for comment. DRAC comprises interscholastic and intramural athletics, and various other extracurricular activities. This year's enrollment reduction may be the first of many in theyears ahead, if demographic indicators prove accurate. Omey pointed out that the baby boom era hasended, and the 18- to 24-year-old age group will shrink during the next several years. The trend isexpected to continue throughout the mid 1980s and then reverse itself toward the end of the decade.Tom Quinlan Cut threat provokes program review BY LORI McGRIFF While rumors of more cuts inWestern's already seriously wounded budget circulate among administrators, a move is being made toprepare for what some say is the inevitable. The budget knife is expected to return this year. But topadministrators and faculty representatives say this time they will be better prepared to make thecuts where they should be made. Apian .submitted to the^ Board of Trustees at its Septembermeeting calls for the creation of two committees to review all programs, departments and serviceson campus. One committee will look at academic programs and departments while the otherconsiders the strengths and weaknesses of non-academic programs. The academic review commit- |tee will attempt to plan for student populations of10,000; 3,db0, ; 8,000, and 7,000. The committeealso "will pro-'" t pose the criteria by which pro- : grams will be assessed',for possi- | ble' enhancement,reduction, , consolidation or elimination: Recommendation for any cuts in programs also: are expectedto be submitted to the Trustees. The committee will be composed of eight members. Ten nominations for six positions will be submitted by the Faculty Senate. Two nominations will be submitted by theAssociated Students Board, Staff Employees Council and Administrators Association for theremaining two positions. The non-academic review committee will recommend changes inadministrative, structures, including possible elimination of programs and services. The committeewill be composed of six members. Five nominations will be submitted by the Faculty Senate forthree positions and two by the AS Board, Staff Employees Council and Administrators for the threeremaining positions. Health service fee to be charged Students registering for six or more credits thisquarter wilibereqm^ when they pay their tuition. The temporary mandatory fee was approved by the Board of Trustees at Its August meeting and overrides an original plan tri'require payment only when servicesare used. The emergency measure was taken because of recent budget cuts and to insure that healthservices continue to be provided on campus, Tom Quinlan, vice president for student affairs, said. ,The fee is subject to re-examination by the Board of Trustees duringthe quarte^and maype removed ' bywlhteh Q nian;saicl.s ' About one quarter of We^stSrn's student population: used the health, centerilast year. -Evelyn Schuler, director of. health services, said the mandatory fee will notcha-nge theservices, only;;; make sure tjiey continue. A Some of the services offered include,an allergy clinic andinjections, preventive medicine, nutrition/ diet/weight conferences, contraceptive advice and pregnancytesting. A physician and registered nurses also screen , students for referral to doctors in the area andsome medication for minor problems is available. Quinlan said the new fee will allow the university tomeet legislatively mandated budget reductions in student services without destroying the health centeror other services. If the emergency measure had not been taken, the offices of financial aid, academicadvisement, and career planning and placement could have had services cut or been required tooperate only four days a week, Quinlan said. The decision to implement the fee came after an ad hoccommittee for health services submitted a report recommending a mandatory fee and discou-raging auser fee. "â€¢/-:; ./â€¢" ] : The user fee would be too expensive to adminis- .: jer and could discourage-students without'-cash from coming to gethelp, Quinlan said. Four trustees voted for the mandatory fee. A fifth, Marven Eggert, voted against it because he said students should hot have to bear the financialresponsibility.

Located on the first floor ofCanada House, the club will open its doors tomorrow to all faculty who have paid the $5 initiation fee and the $5 monthly dues. Dues will go toward paying moving costs, maintenance and rent. While still in its planning stages last spring the club came under fire for using university monies to finance anarchitectural design for remodeling Canada House. Richardson, of the speech department, said part of the rent will go toward paying back the money. Opponents also said it was inappropriate for the Faculty Club to displace academic programs. Canadian/American Studies, which had occupied the firstfloor of Canada House, will move upstairs. Pacific Northwest Studies, which had been upstairs, movedto the Commissary in Fairhaven. A few quirks still need to be straightened out, Richardson said, suchas the amount of rent to be paid. The club will be open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday.Richardson said the club may extend its hours on Fridays, but that has not been settled yet, , SAGAwill serve a limited menu .of soup, salad and sandwiches. Beverages and dessert also will be available.Richardson said until now, Western. had been the only university in the state without a faculty club.Western did have a faculty dining area until the late 1960s when protesting students stormed the roomand.took over, Richardson said, r The faculty club is needed, Richardson said, for faculty to have aplace to eat lunch .together;; and become more acquainted. "It will make for a more close-knit faculty,"Richardson said.

But work still continues on several other construction projectsscheduled to be finished before classroom doors opened. The Viking Union elevator, work on ArntzenHall Food Facility and the Viking Commons kitchen will continue to add the echoes of hammers and stacking bricks to Western's soundwaves. Meanwhile, business and economics students canacquaint themselves with their new south . campus building. The newest addition to Western'sdiverse architecture, tentatively named the South Academic Building, has 10 large classrooms, manyof which are modeled after the Harvard Business School's most popular classroom design. The five story building is occupied by the College of Business and Economics, except for the ground level floor,which houses the speech pathology and audi-ology department. About 80 offices and 60 labs are in thebuilding, which was designed with a "businessman image" in mind, Eric Nasburg, director of Western'sfacilities development offices, said. The grays, blues and and purples used were intended to follow the motifs being used in modern business buildings, he said. "I think people are happy with the design,"Nasburg said. But, he added, tastes change with the times. Wick Construction was responsible for thework done on the $6 million building and the design came from Robert Price Associates. Work on thebuilding began Dec. 2, 1980. The Viking Union elevator, delayed from its original deadline by almostthree months, is not expected to be operative until the end of October. Problems with matching bricksand delays in equipment delivery caused the project to miss its target date of Sept. 10, Nasburg said.The elevator is being built to meet state codes and to provide handicap access to the VU basement.Plagued with problems of meeting fire code regulations and contract agreements, the elevator first wasscheduled to be completed July 1. The $216,429 construction project was started Dec. 3, 1981.The Arntzen Hall Food Facility is expected to be completed Sept. 30. The coffee shop, in the southwestcorner of the ground floor of Arntzen Hall, still needs cabinets installed and the floor finished. The$200,000 food facility will seat about 100 people. Service will be similar to that provided at Miller Hall'sCoffee Shop, Nasburg said. The retiling of the Viking Commons kitchen floor should be completed thisweek, Nasburg said. The "wear and tear" of large food preparat ion equipment and water on the floorfinally broke up tile, he said. Construction on the Viking Union elevator continues. Recipients to getfinancial aid on time By JIM BACON Unlike thousands of needy students across the United States whoare caught in the middle of fights between Congress and the Reagan administration, Western studentsexpecting their financial aid checks when fell quarter starts will get their money. While forces on CapitolHill and in the White House have been fighting over new regulations, about half the aid money alreadydesignated for the coming school yearâ€”about $600 millionâ€”has remained undisbursed leavingschools across the country scrambling to help keep their students in class. The University ofPennsylvania, for example, is tossing in $2 million to help cover the financial aid program while it hopesto get the rest of its allocation from the federal government later in this fall. At the University ofConnecticut, students can apply for up to $250 in two-week loans. The school said it also will deferfees. "We won't have the problem like these folks have/' said Western's Financial Aid Director WayneSparks. Sparks speculated that the troubled schools around the nation either started classes beforeWestern's scheduled first day or they are on a semester system, requiring them to distribute half theirfinancial aid money right away. Because Western operates on a quarterly system, Sparks said, it mustdistribute only one-third of its aid money now. Sparks said the U.S. Department of Education sent formal letters notifying colleges of available aidâ€”and then only for half the total allotmentâ€”about two months later than usual. Western's financial aid office received its letter Aug. 24. The letter came late, Sparkssaid, because the education department sent its proposed new rules governing such federal aidprograms as the; National Direct Student Loan and the College Work-Study Program, to Congress about four months late. This caused much of the delay because Congress by law must have 45 working daysto act on the proposals, which were sent on Aug. -2. Financial aid administrators and students alsofaced delays in processing the paperwork required for Pell Grants. The payment schedule, which setsthe amount of grant money a student can get, arrived in July. "We should've had it by May or June at the latest," Sparks said. In addition, until June 15 the education department required that every student aidreportâ€” the form that tells financial aid administrators if a student is eligible for a Pell Grantâ€”must be validated with either a student's or parent's income tax return. Meanwhile, Sparks said Western expects to receive notice of the rest of its aid allocation by the end of the month. Also, the recent Congressional override of President Reagan's veto of a $14 billion spending bill will add $140 million in Pell Grantmoney and $77 million for supplemental grants. About 1,500 students applied for aid at Western thisyear, about the same number as last year, and the approximately $3.7 million offered to them is aboutequal to last year. Despite the late start in making awards, a financial aid spokesman said all theawards have been sent out. /? ^ \ ATTENTION STUDENTS RETURNING FROM SUMMER VACATrONIf you need new phone service, before you make a trip to the Bell PhoneCenter, we would like to suggestthat you contact the Pacific Northwest Bell business office on 1-453-3511 (toll-free) first.

The AS goal is to register atleast 2,000 people to vote in the Nov. 2 general election, said Jamie Beletz, an organizer of Project Vote 82. Volunteers will be at fall quarter registration at Western, dormitories, campus dining halls, day-care centers, low-income housing, the employment office, churches and the Beth Israel Synagogue.The voter registration drive, which started . Thursday, continues with auditor's deputies at fall quarterregistration. --People who want to become voter-registration deputies will meet at 2:30 p.m. today in theAS office, Viking Union 227. From there, they'll take a van to Whatcom County Auditor Joan Ogden'soffice to be sworn in. The AS currently has six deputies, said Jan Mabry, another Project Vote' 82organizer and the AS vice president for internal affairs. Project Vote '82, organized locally by the AS, isco-sponsored by the Washington Student Lobby, Students Opposed to Reductions in Education and the Whatcom County Central Labor Council. As part of the project, deputies will go door to door from 3 to 6 p.m. next Monday through Wednesday to register residents at DIAMOND EARRING SALE 50%OFF RETAIL FROM 19.50 UP DAHNKEN Holly Garden 671-0500 Mon.-Sat. 10-6 Sun. 12-5HEAVENLY SMORGASBORD *2.9S If you love pizza, here's some good news.

They'll also be at Western Dining halls at meal times those days.Students can register any time at the AS office. Mabry said she hopes "several hundred" students willregister to vote.' 'We want to register every freshman," she said. College students and the poor havefaced drastic reductions in government funds and programs because legislators know they don'tvoteâ€”that's why higher education now faces severe cuts, Beletz said. Mabry noted that according tothe office of Sen. H.A. "Barney" Goltz (D-Bellingham), fewer than one-third of college students voted inlast fall's election. "I think the entire political trend is lending itself to greater student political activism."Registration is a 60-second process," Beletz said. But he added that those who want to be registeredneed some type of verifiable identificationâ€” a driver's license, a student ID card, a meal card or an oldvoter's registration card. Mabry said registered voters who want to change their residency need toregister again. What about those who aren't interested? "We're going to try to explain to them howimportant it is for them to vote," Beletz said. "It is important because students need to maintainpolitical credibility in the eyes of legislators." In addition to arranging on-campus registration,: Mabry has written clergy of 16 churches and the one Bellingham synagogue, requesting that deputies be allowedto register people Sunday at their places of worship. The AS also has asked clergy to encourage theircongregations to vote, Mabry said. Deputies also will be stationed from noon to 3 p.m. tomorrow andFriday at the Food Bank, and they'll register people from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday and Sept. 30 at theWashington State Employment Security Department Office. The deputies will go Sept. 29 and 30 today-care centers. And deputies will walk door to door from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday at threeapartment housesâ€” Washington Square, Lincoln Square and Chuckanut Square. 6ERRIT FOR MENAND WOMEN 1215 MILL AVE. 676 1777 PRAIRIE MARKET VS2K wwu Campus Holly St. SHOPAND COMPARE Our everyday prices are better than any of the competition.

Although fewer students will be here, they will be the ones who deserve to behere most. By tightening admission policies in the form of higher minimal gradepoint averages andother criteria, Western's administrators are not, as some student leaders boldly have asserted, denyingdeserving students access to higher education. Rather, they have moved to avoid the greater of two evils, namely denying students access simply because they can't compete with spiraling tuition costs.Mitch Evich As Student Affairs Vice President Tom Quinlan pointed out, "We do not think it isethically responsible for us to admit students whose chances of success are very low." Quinlan Hitupon a note that those who believe everyone should go to college refuse to acknowledge. Access tohigher education is limited; that is a fact dependent on the structure of society. The question is, whoshould be allowed in" â€” those with the academic ability or those with the financial assets? A criteriabased solely on ability may seem a bit callous, but the alternative is much less desirable. The only other way of reducing enrollment is to eliminate more students via more tuition hikes, and it need not be saidwho would be the losers in that sort of game. One argument inevitably surfaces to refute suchassertions, based * on the student whose deprived background is in fact responsible for his pooracademic showing. But exemptions abound for such cases, and anyone showing anymanifestations of potential can overcome a deficiency in basic requirements. The college system can't accommodate everyone, and perhaps that is unfortunate. But let's make sure the people who areaccepted are the ones with the best chances of achieving a degree four years hence. Reagan's latest:one big pain President Reagan does not seem able to take a hint. Despite a lukewarm reception toward his "New Federalism" proposals (presented to the public last spring and quickly forgotten), Reaganis planning to re-ignite the fires beneath his pot of federalism mush and feed it to the leader of state andlocal governments at a Sept. 30 White House summit session. Our illustrious showman's latestbandwagon technique could tranfer 45 federally controlled programs over to state and localgovernments. Included in this proposal is Reagan's plan for the federal government to take over theefficient Medicaid and food stamp programs in exchange for a state take-over of the mismanaged,hard to administer Aid to Families with Dependent Children program. By handing over control of these programs to the states, Reagan is masterfully and conveniently unburdening himself. Peggy Loetterle iat could be easier than tossing troublesome domestic programs down to the states, hoping theprograms will shrivel up and die in the anti-taxation atmosphere of fiscally strapped states? Ourmagician's subterfuge is a new attempt to reduce benefits to the poor without appearing to do so. It's anow-you-see-it-now-you-don't trick designed to fool millions of lower-income Americans who are notreceiving enough help these days, anyway. The proposal will do little to relieve deficits or oiler anyinitiatives to abate the lingering recessionâ€”with the exception of diverting public attention from a still-puttering economy, huge revenue shortages and high unemployment. It's unrealistic to expect localgovernments to handle the burden of these costly programs when Reagan's policies already have helpedcripple rapidly deteriorating urban areas. And it's . rediculous to magnify their suffering by creating acostly swap-a-rama while most state, city and county governments still are straining under a darkrecessionary cloud. Perhaps Reagan is willing to brew up another, more nourishing, pot ofmushâ€”this time he can feed it to the one million food stamp recepients who've been going hungry since their benefits were eliminated. ![7J*jraEE2 gt; Fairhaven reflects Western's diversity It's easy to pickout freshmen during the first days of fall quarter. They're the ones who walk through Red Square with their heads on a swivel, obviously agog at just how much different this place looks compared to the typicalsuburban-area high school. The biggest difference is the people. Western has long-haired students,short-haired students, conservative students, radical students. For many people, that's one of the mostattractive things about Western. It's diverse, open-minded and open to academically oriented students ofany stripe. Newcomers to this 224-acre campus will come to appreciate that diversity. If they care abouttheir school, they'll be angry to hear that some of this university's leaders are considering closing downone of Western's shining stars of diversityâ€”Fairhaven College. Fairhaven is no stranger to threats ofextinction. Along with The Evergreen State College in Olympia, it's been one of the right wing's favoritewhipping boys in the Legislature. Hostility to Fairhaven can be traced to a vicious streak of anti-intellectualism in the Legislature. The men and women in Olympia who'd like to see the nationally knowncollege closed seem to think a program that doesn't produce tomorrow's business leaders just isn't worth funding. Several administrators and faculty members here apparently share that idotic, short-sightedview. That's tragic. Closing Fairhaven to save money is Reaganomics at its most mean-spirited level.More precisely, it would lend a hand in turning Western into a trade school that produces businessmenand technocrats. Now, we need bankers, electrical engineers and architects, but we also need men andwomen committed to alternatives to the normal and the humbrum. Future freshmen at Western shouldhave the chance to meet people from different backgrounds with different interests. If Fairhaven and other liberal arts programs here are terminated, future freshmen may shuffle through Tied Square with headsslanted toward the bricks. It would resemble another Red Square, half a world away. WSL needs votes;support your lobby Amid budget cuts and tuition increases, the Washington Student Lobby arrives on the scene reminiscent of the cavalry coming to the rescue. But, unlike the cavalry, the WSL can't whup thebad guysâ€” in this case, budget-ax wielding legislatorsâ€”all by itself. It needs the support of students.The WSL will have a full-time paid lobbyist in Olympia for the start of the legislative session in January.The lobbyist will strive to educate and persuade legislators to support the needs of higher education. The lobby is financed solely by students assessing themselves $1 at the time of registration. Without thisfinancial support the WSL will not be able to function at the level needed to do its job. But, studentsshould not just donate their dollars and expect the WSL to fight the battle for them. For t he WSL to besuccessful, students also must register to vote, which easily can be done at fall quarter registration.Moreover, they should vote for legislators who support students interests. Students are notorious non-voters, making them easy prey for budget-scalpers. Legislators, fearless of students voting them out ofoffice, are free to raise tuition and cut higher education's budget. The budget already has been hacked by almost 20 percent and the legislators have not laid down their hatchets, yet. If the students rally aroundthe WSL, however, they still may be able to hold down the higher education fort.

Or at least that's what is printed on the fall quarter registration map above the recommended 11 steps to a smooth landing onto the Western runway of higher education. I'm lost. Not because I do not know where I am, but because anxiety has struck as hard as on my first day of school. I literallywas dragged up the steps of Wade Calvin Elementary School in Sumner, screaming louder with each tug on my arm. I'm at Western now, on my own. I am expected to happily accept the trauma of beingherded like cattle with multitudes of other students, while trying to figure out what classes I want to takeand pray they are not full. I am lost in my own freshman fear. I realize the consequences of myoversleeping. I missed freshman orientation. So I now must find my own way through the registrationmaze, without the benefit of prior instruction. Faculty advisement helped me somewhat. I know whatclasses I should takeâ€” or at least don't want to take, which is nearly all the 101 introductory offers. Iam 15 minutes late for my 2 p.m. registration appointment and the drugs are taking effiect. The longline winds out of gym D's mouth like a cobra's tongue and licks the east side of Bond hall. 2:30 p.m. Ienter Gym D, the old brick warehouse next to Carver Gym, to pick up my personal schedule packet. A signâ€”"Welcome to Western and Happy Registration "â€”is no consolation for my growing paranoiathat I won't get a packet because of a computer error. 2:45 p.m. Somehow I make it up the stairs inline, which snakes through a course of nylon ropes attached waist-high to volleyball poles. Mentalflashes of a dehorning machine . weaken my knees as I wait long enough in line for sweat to break out.3 p.m. My turn) a voice tells me, "You may go to line five." I tell the computer operator my magicpersonal informationfor her to punch into the data device. Relief. My packet, consisting of two computer cards, is handed to me and I am told to go to Gym C. Another signâ€”"Proceed to Gym C with yourpacket. Please Watch your step." Signs with a red "R" are everywhere. I You've just blown your mindwith four consecutive nights of partying. Now, you face the savage journey into the heart of. . . ImmricHRegistration presume this simple form of non-verbal communication will lead me where I need not go.After descending stairs and making a couple right turns, I find the entrance to gym C, Carver Gym'supper wing. I'm handed a schedule card. I ask for two, in case I screw up the first one. But a look of Tiltake back the one you have if you don't move along" sends me running up the stairs past anothersign:"Please show your packet." 3:15 p.m. In Gym C students are frantically filling in their schedulecards. I get my first look at lists with the dreaded yellow lines drawn through the classes closed toenrollment. Yellow lines are everywhere I look. My options: Introduction to, Orientation to, Principles of.After a lengthy schedule-card- crossword puzzle, I am set with three classes for IS credits. ' 3:45 p.m.Another sign: "Proceed to Gym B. Pick up your admit cards." From the balcony above, the main gym isa great lizard pit of untraceable movement. Chaos. What minute pacification I received from actuallyfinding three open classes in the afternoonâ€”I like to sleep as late as possibleâ€”is shattered. I walkdownstairs into the myriad bodies. In the center of the bizarre convention of students is another stationwith lists of filled classes. It's more current than the upstairs edition. I have to check again to see whichclasses are full. Disaster strikes without warning. Two of my afternoon clases are full. In desparation I rip out pages of the magazine-style class schedule. I hesitate at an ad: "MARINES. Maybe you can beone of us." 4 p.m. After a blistering mad scramble, I find two more introduction-for-the-masses classesat 8 and 9 a.m. I stagger to each respective department table and collect yellow class cards. I ask if thecooling system is out. It feels like it is about to rain inside the gym, the humidity is so unbearable.Cautiously I sit down at the south end of the gym to fill out a computer card with my haphazard schedule. I take notice for the first time of Do Not Remove From Registration Area â€” stamped on the card.4:15 p.m. A violent scream sends my paperwork flying into the air. Another insane scream momentarilystops the action on the carver Market floor. All class trading comes to an abrupt halt. Someone acrossthe gym is screaming my name. I trace the voice to the mouth of the person I am assigned to spend thenext nine months with. I knew I was in trouble the first day I met my roommate and his 200-watt ampwith refrigerator-size speakers and his girlfriend Mona with the snake tatooed on her shoulder. Now he is screaming at the top of his lungs at me. What's that? Keg? Stack four? Taps in 15 minutes? Mind-bending substances available? I had to escape from the gym immediately. I collect my cards and hopeI've done them correctly. I sprint up the stairs to Gym A, the final check-out. I catch my breath andrealize the ordeal is almost over. The registration people have what they wanted all alongâ€”my originaldo not bend, spindle or mutilate cards. 4:30 p.m. At last! The fee billing station, the last stop on themap of disconcertion. No, I do not want health insurance. Everyone has to feel he lives dangerouslysomehow. Luckily the $320 tuition is not due until Oct. 1.1 forgot my checkbook in my hurry to makemy appointment. It's finally over. I am wound up as tight as a tourniquet. I feel a violent surge overtakingme. . . .So, borrowing the immortal words from a little-known philosopher, "It is time for sedation for myown protection." First day of class is tomorrow.

As of Friday^ housing officials were accepting applications for the 236 beds stillavailable in campus dormitories. "We have spaces in every building right now except Beta and Nash,"Director of University Residences Keith Guy said. But new residents of Western's dorms either will haveto send smoke signals or visit Pacific Northwest Bell's "Phone Mart" if they seek to contact the off-campus world. During the summer telephones were removed from campus dorms and apartments tokeep room and board rate increases at 5 percent. Guy estimated that remaining on the Centrex phoneservice would have led to a 9.2 percent increase. The phone removal will save Western $17,000 a monthin equipment charges alone, he said. Because Pacific Northwest Bell claimed students were notpaying their long distance bills, direct dialing was eliminated last year, Guy said. A dispute remained,however, about who would pay for the unpaid collect calls received on campus phones. PNB askedWestern to pay the bill but Western refused. Finally, it seemed best to remove the phones, he said.Students must arrange and pay for their own phone service this year. To accommodate the new system, PNB is operating a "mini phone center store" near the registration center in Old Main, Margie Wickham, PNB service representative, said. It will remain on campus through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.daily. Students can select their phones there, she said. Because of the new phone system, studentswill save money on long distance calls because they can dial direct, Guy said. Many students probablywill decide to share phones instead of getting one for every room and this will result in additionalsavings, he said. Depending on a student's credit rating, PNB will charge up to $80 for a deposit andabout $30 in service start-up fees, according to PNB rate schedules. Other policy changes in thehousing and dining system include new rules governing room changes and intoxicated Two studentswere surrounded by boxes and furniture as they moved into Higginson Hall last ! weekend. students inthe dining halls. In past years confusion and instability were caused by constant room changes duringthe quarter, Guy said. This year arbitrary room changes will not be allowed during the quarter. "Only inan emergency situation would we authorize a move during the quarter," he said. The constant roomchanges disrupt the staff and keep students from getting involved in their studies, he said. "Our staff are students, too," he said. Another change will give SAGA employees the right to hold the meal card of astudent who is obviously intoxicated. The card will be returned to the student after his meal. This willallow for easy identification of the student should problems occur, Guy explained. It also will simplifygetting retribution should damage occur, he added. If the student is so intoxicated that he cannotfunction, the staff has the right to refuse service, he said. Intoxicated students are not a huge problem,he said. "But the staff felt they needed this right." How to find a good bank your first week on campus.

MASON Huge wilderness awaits the hardy By MARK CARLSON ~ Make no mistakeâ€”WhatcomCounty never will be confused with Parma, Ohio. Beyond the pulp mill plumes of Bellingham and theDutch-reformed Kitsch of Lynden are hundreds of square miles of wildernessâ€”culminating in thehands-off-capitalism North Cascades National Park on the county's eastern fringe. Better yet, all ofthis wonderland is laced with hiking trails that allow outdoorsmen to probe river valleys, roam highland ridges and scale peaks. The North Cascades are considered by many to be the Lower 48's premierwilderness area. It doesn't take much money to relish this region's delights, either. All you need isenough gasoline to drive to the trailhead, a knapsack containing lunch, additional warm clothing, theU.S. Geological Survey map that covers the area you're hiking, matches, a knife and a flashlight. Inaddition, it's best that hikers never set off alone on a journey. If you break an ankle, you'll want someoneto summon aid. Of course, hikers should pack lightly only for day hikes in good weather. If you'replanning a multi-day trek through the wilderness, you'll need additional gear and a reputableguidebook, s u c h as the M o u n t a i n eers' 101 Hikes in the North pure Cascades. This article willaddress only day hikes accessible to anyone able to walk more than several miles at a single shot.Winchester Mountain Though it climbs to the lofty 6,521-foot-high summit of Winchester, this five-mileround trip is one of the easiest hikes in tne North Cascades. The toughest task on this trek is driving tothe trailhead. Travel the Mount Baker Highway to Glacier and continue another 13V2 miles before turning left on a road signed "Tomyhoi Trail 5, Twin Lakes 7." This road was built by the county and isn'tmaintained by the U.S. Forest Service. It's in terrible condition. Unless you drive a Jeep or some otherfour-wheel- drive vehicle, you'll probably want to walk the final couple miles to the trailhead at TwinLakes. The Winchester Mountain trail climbs through heather, alpine trees and flowers to the summit,which is the site of a long-gone lookout cabinâ€”on clear days it affords a sweeping view of the NorthCascades and the Puget Sound lowlands. The trail should be snow-free through the end of October.Chain Lakes Loop Mounts Baker and Shuksan dominate this six-mile journey through alpine meadowsloaded with blueberries. Follow the Mount Baker Highway to its end at Austin Pass. The first part ofthe journey is a dull hike up a battered gravel road, but things get much nicer at the formal trailhead atthe roadend. In a scarce few hundred feet you'll encounter a spur trail veering to the left. Keep right, for the spur trail crosses a steep and extremely hazardous snow field that's no-man's-land unless you own an ice axe and know how to use it. â€¢ " , The main trail wanders over a â€¢ 5,400-foot saddle alongthe base of Table Mountain and then laces through a series of pretty mountain lakes. You'll want tolinger at many spots along the way to listen for the whistles of marmots and the distant thunder ofwaterfalls. Between the final two lakes on your journey, watch for a spur path on the right. It gains 900feet in two miles and winds up near the trailhead, where your car is parked. It wipes out the necessity of returning along the gravel road, since the main trail winds up at the Mount Baker Ski Area. The ChainLakes Loop usually is snow-free until early November. Baker River This trail neither ascends highpeaks nor rambles through alpine meadow. Rather, the Baker River Trail follows the river of the samename through one of the few remaining wilderness valleys '-l the nation. And instead of culminating ina scintillating view of mountains and water, the Baker River trail simply peters out in the midst of adeep, damp forest. Because the trail crosses into the North Cascades National Park, you'll need a parkservice back country permit, which is available at park headquarters in Sedro Woolley. The trail hoversat around 1,000 feetâ€”that means it's snow-free most of the year. It makes a fine hike when the highcountry is covered with 10 feet of snow To find the trail head, travel on the North Cascades Highway,14Vz miles east from Sedro Woolley. Then turn left on the Baker Lake- Grandy Lake road 14 miles toKomo Kulshan Guard Station on Baker Lake. Follow the gravel Forest Service Road 11% miles beforeturning left on a "half-mile spur. Take the first right, and drive another half mile to the trailhead. Hikethree miles along the trail, enjoying along the way views of rushing white water and occasionalglimpses of Shuksan and other white giants. Have lunch at Sulfide Creek before heading back to the car. Thunder Creek Another wilderness valley, except this one deserves top priority for an outing. Its futureis in jeopardy. Seattle City Light wants to raise the height of Ross Dam, which would flood thisexquisite valley and ruin it forever. Find the trailhead at Colonial Creek Campgroundâ€”it's just off theNorth Cascades Highway near Diablo Dam. The trail follows an inlet of Diablo Lake for about one milebefore plunging into virgin-growth timber. A good turnaround point is at a campsite on McAllister Creek,six miles from the trailhead. Once you're back home, immediately sit down and write Seattle City Lightto strongly express your opposition to its plan to turn Thunder Creek Valley into a mudflat. Sendcarbon copies to Congressman Al Swift and Senators Henry Jackson and Slade Gorton. Cascade Pass Here's the granddaddy of them all. It's a seven-mile round trip to an historic notch high in theCascades. The pass has been a cross-mountain route traveled by Indians, prospectors andexplorers since before history was recorded in these parts. Drive the North Cascades Highway toMarblemount and turn right on the Cascade River Road 25 miles to the trailhead. The extremely well-maintained trail climbs at an easy 10 percent grade through forest for two miles before exploding intospectacular alpine parklands at the pass, 5,400 feet above sea level. Take care not to trample thefragile meadows at the pass, and don't light campfires. The area has suffered from overuse and the ParkService is seeking to rehabilitate those portions of the region that have been loved nearly to death. Butby all means exploreâ€” don't just confine your stay to a brief lunch stop. A two-mile side trip to 7,600-foot-high Sahale Arm beckons for the adventurous-the path winds to the left up a ridgeâ€”who seek evenmore extensive views. Other side trips deserve to be taken, which means you'll return to Cascade Passagain and again. Epilogue These are just a few of the dozens of tremendous trips the dedicated NorthCascades traveler should investigate. Explore as many as you can, but don't feel you should seek outthem all during your stay at Western. That's impossible. This area has enough adventure for alifetime of hiking. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 9 ---------- Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Western Front 9 Rental shop serves man-of-all-seasons Many ofWestern's sendees are designed to help students survive the classroom, but at least one program cangive them an adventurous escape from the often gray academic cloud. The Associated StudentsEquipment Rental Shop in Viking Union 113 leases recreational equipmentâ€”including skis, ice-climbing gear, rafts and canoesâ€”and sells bicycle parts along with tools for bicycle repair, at low prices. Theshop is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays. During fall, students' biggest demand probably will be forcamping gear, John Forsen, summer manager, said. Stoves, tents, sleeping bags and frame andframeless packs could be in short supply, he said. Wetsuits are available for use* with rafts or for othersportsâ€” including wind surfing and scuba diving. As the seasons change, different items gain and losepopularity. "It (the equipment) is all very seasonal," Forsen said. Because of winter's usual snowfall onMount Baker, all of the shop's skis, boots and snowshoes are used during most weekends, Forsen said.The shop leases 30 to 40 pairs of cross-country skis and 20 to 30 pairs of ski boots. The shop's four pairs of mountaineering skis have no-release bindings, called "bear traps." Students can choose betweenwaxable and non-waxable skis.

Center aims students in right direction By SETH PRESTON Many students becomeconfused about requirements to get a degree. To avoid taking unneeded classes or missing the onesneeded, students can get help from Western's Academic Advisement Center. "Basically, at theAcademic Advisement Center we're interested in helping students get access to Western'sresources," said Program Director Ron Johnson. The center provides a full range of academicadvisement services with emphasis on the pre-major student. Areas of service include new and returningstudent academic orientation, general advisement for continuing pre-majors and special advisementfor students experiencing academic difficulties. "We're geared to freshmen and . sophomores, toadvise them while they're pre majors and to help them with General University Requirements,"Johnson .said. "Once they get a major, they get advisement from their department." Most advising inthe center is done by peer advisors, students who have gone through a training program to prepare themto cope with other students' academic problems. "We also function as a type of referral department,"Johnson said. "We can assess the individual's advisement needs and tell them where they can receive the proper aid." Johnson said he also sees educating students to make intelligent academicdecisions as a function of the center. "For many students, their freshman year can be shocking. Thereare a lot of new pressures, such as living with a roommate they've never seen before and a new systemof classes." The center also helps students experiencing problems with scholastic standing, such asbeing placed.on academic warning or probation. Student withdrawals from Western also arecoordinated through the center. Academic Advisement is located in Old Main 274, and is open from 9a.m. to noon and 1 to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. The telephone number for more information is 676-3850.

Hiroshima pleads 'feepeace ::i^liftfi^fcil3Srf^SiP-Wmm A war for peace is being fought. This is the first ina series on the protest against nuclear weapons, a movement that demands disarmament. Story andphotos by.MASARUFUJJMOTO HIROSHIMA, Japanâ€”Every year since the holocaust of Aug. 6, 1945,this city has pleaded with the world to end the nuclear arms race. At the Hiroshima Peace Park, the37th Peace Ceremony started with Mayor Takeshi Araki's peace proclamation. "Hiroshima is notmerely a witness of human history. Hiroshima forever is an admonition for human future. When wecannot remember Hiroshima, we will repeat the error, and it is obvious that the I history of mankind willcome to the end," said Araki, a survivor of the Bomb. The mayor has sent messages of protest towherever nuclear tests are practiced. Already this year 15 tests have been reported throughout the world. He urged all countries that own nuclear weapons to disarm now and swore that Hiroshima never will stop appealing for world peace. Every year the city adds names of newly identified bomb victims to the death list and dedicates them to the Peace Monument in the annual ceremony. This year 3,060 namesjoined the death list. Inside the monument are the bones and skulls of 70,000 unidentified victims. TheA-bomb Memorial Dome in Hiroshima is a reminder of Aug. 6,1945.

Former SkagitCounty Prosecuting Attorney Pat McMullen and 1981 Western graduate Astrid Dahl are gunning for the40th District Legislature jobs of conservative Republicans Homer Lundquist and Pat Fiske. Fiske andLundquist swept into office, two years ago along with the GOP tidal wave that engulfed the United States. But, along with many other Republicans who rode President Reagan's coattails into elected office,Fiske and Lundquist are being rapped for the nation's current economic ills and reduced services forlow-income citizens. At least, that's where McMullen and Dahl are focusing their criticisms. Dahlespecially is concerned about GOP-led slashes in higher education spending, pointing out Fiske hasvoted for tuition hikes and against education spending during his first term in Olympia. "We can't cuthigher education any more," the 33-year-old Sedro Woolley resident told The Front last week "It takesso long for any institution to build up its reputation, and if we continue tearing it down, we're looking at20 years of re-building to get it where it was." Dahl said she favors "closing tax loopholes for business" and making any future cuts in the "higher levels of the bureaucracy" to help fight the state's hugerevenue shortfalls. Services for Washington's residentsâ€” what Dahl calls the "lower levels of thebureaucracy"â€”can't be cut any more, she said. Dahl also branded Fiske as an "inaccessible"legislator, and vowed she'd meet with constituents regularly McMullen, who served as Skagit Countyprosecutor from 1974 until 1980, said he's running against Lundquist because of the tendency for HouseGOP leaders to conduct business in an atmosphere of backroom secrecy. "The leadership lockeditself behind closed doors and didn't tell the public what was going on during the last session," he said.In addition, Republicans "slapped the public in the face with so-called 'regressive' taxes such as thefood tax," McMullen said. McMullen called cuts in higher education outlays "short-sighted." "We'vegot to promote growth with educated people," said McMullen, who currently is city attorney for thesmall Skagit County towns of Hamilton and Lyman. McMullen knocked off Western political scienceprofessor Chuck Fox during the Sept. 8 primary. "Chuck could have beat Homer," he said, adding thathe entered the fray to "beat Homer Lundquist, not Chuck Fox." The 37-year-old McMullen said he thinksLundquist is "very vulnerable," pointing out that his and Fox's combined vote totals in the primary weresubstantially larger than was that of Lundquist. Lundquist did poorly in the portion of the 40th districtwhich includes Western, possibly because of his anti-colleges voting record in the Legislature. McMullen lives in Sedro Woolley. By LORI McGRIFF Although separated by fiscal boundaries, two Westernalumni in the 42nd District legislative race agree that education should be salvaged from the state'sshrinking programs. Republican Rich Bosman and Democrat Dennis Braddock won primary races lastweek, placing them in the final stretch for the seat that will replace Democrat Mary Kay Becker. Thebattle, they agreed however, will not be fought over education but on how best to balance the budget.Bosman, calling himself a "fiscal conservative" who doesn't want to see people get hurt by budget cuts, said he is against a tax increase. Braddock said he supports a 1 percent income tax with a threshholdexemption that considers ability to pay. Bosman, a political newcomer, said he needs to examine thepossibility of more cuts in education before he will support putting an end to them. But he added that ifcuts are to come they should be targeted at the administrative level. "There are some areas that need tobe looked at," Bosman said. The Washington State Patrol trooper said he doesn't expect increases infinancial aid from the state. "I don't think realistically it will happen." "Getting the very most for taxdollars" is one promise Bosman said he will keep if he is elected. "I'm against raising taxes if at all^possible." "' The 33-year-old Bosman graduated from Western in 1971 and later joined the state patrol.He's been with the state patrol for 10 years. Bosman in last week's election defeated Hugh Pottle, whowas seeking office for the third time. The Western graduate from the Lynden area has the Lynden-basedsupport that helped place state Rep. Roger Van Dyken, Whatcom County Executive John Louws andCounty Councihvoman Shirley Van Zanten in their positions. Bosman said he would do whatever hecould to avoid raising taxes and warned voters to be wary of Braddock's spending reputation. Braddockexpressed his support of higher education but said he didn't expect more financial aid to be available atthe state level. "It's going to be hard enough paying the instructors," the 38-year-old planning consultantsaid. " A member of the Bellingham city council for nine years, Braddock said increasing jobs can't bedone on the local level until the national economy picks up. "I won't promise no new taxes. I think we'veheard that before," he said. The state's fiscal situation may call for more money, he said. Calling thedeterioration of education the greatest danger the state faces, Braddock said he hopes no more cutswill become necessary. "I think we have to improve the educational system," Braddock said. The cuts have left it in "pretty dismal shape," he said. Braddock attended Western for two years in a graduatepublic administration program during the early 1970s. He called Bosnian's fiscal conservative stand "athreat to women's rights and the needs of society."

Services aid handicappedstudents By LESLIE NICHOLS Entering college is traumatic enough for a typical freshman, but thetrauma can be multiplied many times for a handicapped student. Western's Office of Student Life triesto ease disabled students' entrance into college through the office's services, many of which aresupported by volunteers. Perhaps the most significant for disabled students is accessibility toWestern's programs and buildings, a result of the 1973 Rehabilitation Act. One of the act's regulationsstates that classes and other programs must be accessible to the handicapped. Although the actdoes not require the handicapped have access to every building or part of a building, it states thatthe university as a whole must be accessibleâ€”and most buildings on campus are. In addition, theuniversity is building an elevator in the Viking Union. Mobility impared students can be provided withaides and a campus access guide which explains how Western benefits students and which contains a c c e s s i b i l i ty maps of the university. The maps show accessible routes, entrances and restrooms; routes that may require assistance; curbs graded down to street level and ramps; elevators, wheelchair lifts and automatic doors and lowered drinking fountains and telephones. Deaf and hard-of-hearingstudents may use the interpreter referral service and TTY (teletypewriter) or amplified telephones. Blindand partially sighted students can receive help from volunteers who take notes in duplicate and give oneset to the disabled student, read aloud a book or tape it for the student or read an exam. Wilson Library also helps students by providing study rooms where taped lectures or books can be" read." The libraryhas special equipment for vision-impaired students to useâ€” including tape recorders, a braillewriter, atext enlarger, braille materials and typewriters with large type. Braille is on the button panels of many ofthe elevators on campus. Western offers additional services and programs for the handicapped,including: adaptive physical education sessions such as swimming, volleyball and basketball; parkingnear major classroom buildings; door-to-door transportation to lt; and from campus; accessiblehousing; the Disabled Students Organization and the speech and hearing clinic in College Hall.

They observe figureheadstudent-politicians spending the brunt of their time being tripped up by nuances in parliamentaryprocedure. They watch their student government struggle for nine months to obtain that all-importantpop machine in the lounge, only to have it revoked by mandate of the principal. And they notewidespread apathy among fellow students. Some carry those same images throughout college, andindeed, Western's student government occasionally acts.in away to reinforce such sentiments. Butmore often than not, many observers agree, Western's Associated Students is the most effectivestudent political body in the state. True, not many students vote in AS elections. Last spring's 27percent voter turnoutâ€”ostensibly sparse to the casual observerâ€”was the highest in recent Westernhistory. But, as Western's acting University President James Talbot points out, the studentgovernment here "actually gets things done." "If you want to get involved in student government, this isthe place to come," Talbot said. Ton Quinlan, vice president for student affairs, agreed:. "The potentialfor student involvement in the decision-making process of the university is extensive." The AssociatedStudents are not loved by everyone, however. Student leaders often have clashed with university officials (most conspicuously with Board of Trustees Chairman Curtis Dal-rymple and former UniversityPresident Paul Olscamp) and even Quinlan notes that for the Associated Students, the "playing ofpolitics sometimes becomes an end in itself." But the-Associated Students' successes wouldseemâ€”at least recentlyâ€”to outweigh their downfalls. During the last year they led the way in formingthe Washington Student Lobby, a statewide political body designed to represent higher educationinterests in Olympia; spearheaded the organizational effort of the Students Opposed to Red-' uctionsin Education rally in Olympia last" November and, more recently, gained at least partial concessionsfrom the trustees in their legal battle relating to student involvement in the search for a new universitypresident. Seated at the peak of the AS government is President Mark Murphy, a 22-year-old English/peech communications major AS Work Day set for today the Limit," at noon in the VU plaza, livebroadcasts by KUGS-FM radio throughout the day and continuous showings of the movie "ReeferMadness" by the Drug Information Center. "The main reason for the day is to encourage students tobecome involved with the AS," said AS President Mark Murphy. . The Associated Students hasscheduled a "Students at Work Day, " an opportunity for new and returning students to become oriented with Western's student government, from 10 a.m. to 4 (p.m. today in the Viking Union Plaza and otherareas. The day will include a perfor- â€¢ mance of the swing band "Sky's who took office last June,following May's election. Murphy heads the nine-member AS Board of Directors, the final body ofauthority in student politics. In general, the functions that Murphy and the board perform can be dividedinto two basic categories: their dealings with the university administration and their decisions of fundingfor student-supported programs. Their representation on other governing committees can be viewed as a sort of domestic policy. In the same way, the AS board's relations with other universities and with thestate legislature is comparable to a federal government's foreign policy. As a result of massive budgetcuts during the past year, the "foreign policy" role took on particular importance. A stronger web ofinter-university connections now exists than ever before. But Murphy says many of the external collegeorganizations gradually are growing autonomous of the AS Board. The WSL, for example, althoughformed through student government, will function separately. Such autonomy, Murphy predicts, willmake the AS board more effective at home. "The AS has always been very active, but by being tooactive in external affairs, we may jeopardize the relationship (between the Associated Students anduniversity administrators)," Murphy said, referring to what he says is viewed by some administratorsas overly-extreme actions by students. "Someone needs to scream," Murphy said, "but now someoneelse will do the screaming."

It is in this realm that the average student is most likely to become aware of the existence ofstudent government. Every spring, the AS board, in conjunction with a university committee composedof students and administrators, allocates student monies to various clubs and organizations. As in allbudgetary processes, some groups come out looking better than others. "Some interests tend to belouder," Murphy noted. "But that doesn't mean they will be listened to more than others." In addition to its nine elected board members, Western's student governance system is filled out by scores ofappointments to univestity committees. Most students who are interested manage to be appointed tosome sort of committee, and thus gain initial experience in the Associated Students organization,Murphy said.

Each dining establishment on campus offers the student varied foodchoices, reasonable prices, atmosphere and scenic views. At the south end of campus, in the Fair-haven College complex, a coffee shop on the ground floor of the administration building looks out upon acourtyard surrounded by apartment buildings. The specialty of the coffee shop is a freshly grilledhamburger. Vegetable selections from the salad bar can complete the meal. Wooden tables aresurrounded by modern art on the walls. The lighting is dim and cozy. Arntzen Hall coffee shop is in the southwest comer of that building on the ground floor. Newly built, its projected opening date is Sept. 30. This shop will offer coffee, donuts, soups and sandwiches and a view of the new South AcademicBuilding. Miller Hall coffee shop is next to Red Square plaza and Fisher Fountain. Red Square is thecrossroads of upper campus. Students stopping at Miller Hall coffee shop should try a cup of soup or asandwich. Inside the coffee shop, the atmosphere is smokey and often noisy with conversation.Seating usually is limited. Food service is cafeteria-style in the three dining halls on campus. Dining halls are located in the administration building at Fairhaven College, Ridgeway Commons and VikingCommons. Although open to all students, dining halls are primarily used by residence hall occupants.SAGA Food Services, the corporation that operates the dining halls and most eating establishments oncampus, offers several selections for each meal.

HOLLY STREET-BELLIMGHAM-676-1111 GURstobe emphasized by Tutorial Center By SETH PRESTON ~ TheTutorial Center will begin its second year on campus with an emphasis on providing student tutoringfor General University Requirements. "The quality of the Tutorial Center depends on the quality of thetutorsâ€”the heart of the matter is student-to-student relations," said Ron Johnson, AcademicAdvisement Center director. The Tutorial Center is a sub-office of Academic Advisement and falls underJohnson's jurisdictipn. The center's hours have been expanded to make it better available to studentswith heavy morning class loads. The center will be open from 9 a.m. to noon and 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.Monday through Friday, instead of last year's 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. The increased hours mean additionaltutors will be hired to maintain the same services offered before. Although the expansion is takingplace at a time of budget cutbacks, Johnson does not seem surprised. "Tutors are relatively cheapduring cutbacks, plus they are providing a valuable service," he said. Despite initial publicity difficulties when the center first opened, student-tutor contacts increased to 1,467 spring quarter from 941 winterquarter. "I was pleased and surprised," Johnson said. "The figures were much higher than I expected."The key element, obviously, is students' word-of-mouth. We'll expand or contract rapidly according tostudent opinionâ€” we have to keep up the quality." Johnson said the center will strive to do more of thethings it did last year, such as providing review sessions for GUR classes before tests. The center islocated in Old Main 285, and its services are free. Students are encouraged to make appointments bycalling 676-3855, but .appointments are not required. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 16 ---------- 16 Western Front Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Cutbacks felt all over campus By DAVE MASON Toparaphrase Mark Twain, any rumor of Western's death would be an exaggeration. But the recent series of large cuts in the university budget has forced Western to suffer a painfully strict diet â€” a diet thathas not only cut all the fat, but also has begun to weaken the university's muscle. Western's days as agrowing institution â€” from a teachers' school to state college to a university â€” have ended. Instead ofgrowing, Western is now shrinking with some programs being consolidated while others are dropped,deans say. The Board of Trustees has directed administrators to review the university's priorities. Even if no further reductions are made in the budget â€” the latest was a $1.4 million cut this summer â€”Western will have to lose more weight during the 1983- 84 year. Faculty positions that were spared thebudget ax this year will be cut in June. 'most severe year' And 1982-83 "probably will be one of the mostsevere years in our history, much more severe than the Reduction-in-Force (cuts in faculty and staff) in1976-77," said James Davis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. Deans, however, are optimistictheir colleges â€” and Western as. a whole â€” will survive budget cuts, despite how much programs arehurt by cuts and despite the patience the cuts will require. "I don't think the university is about to bedestroyed," said Dan Lamer, dean of Fairhaven College. "We do have to be imaginative. . . We'll have toface the loss of programs." Fewer sections of courses will be offered because Western reduced thenumber of full-time faculty positions this year to 426 from 474. Some classes will be offered only once ayear, Davis said. In fact, if more positions are cut, some physical education courses may be offered onlyevery other year, said Chapelle Arnett, chairman of the physical education department. "Poly Sci 250(and 101) will be hard to get into," said Ralph Miner, chairman of the political science department.Waiting lists already have mounted for the courses, which are prerequisites for upper-division classes.Secretaries cut One change with an immediate impact is the reduction in secretarial staffâ€”by 50percent in the College of Arts and Sciences. The cut means departmental offices will be open fewer hours and several offices will be closed during the noon hour, Davis said. Students who call an office when it'sclosed will have to leave a message with an answering machine. In addition, faculty members may haveto type their own tests, allowing less time for research and helping students, two department chairmensaid. . Because of the budget diet, Western will have to endure obsolete equipment and equipment inneed of repair. "I have a drawer full of equipment requests by the faculty that I can't fulfill," said RichardMayer, dean of the Huxley College of Environmental Studies. Funds don't exist to repair or replace acomputer the college has used for several years. Leaky roofs Lamer cited a hypothetical example ot anequipment problem. "The roof leaks and destroys the piano. It costs $2,000 to fix it. You do without thepiano." In the College of Arts and Sciences, 22 departments â€” some with greater needs than othersâ€” are competing for $50,000 for equipment purchase, replacement and repair. "We have so little moneyfor equipment," Davis said. "We have to pump it (much of the money) into computer technology â€”word processors and microcomputers." Pencils, books lacking Peter Elich, chairman of thepsychology department, said the department probably would get $2,000 for equipment. As much as$20,000 wouldn't be enough to bring the psychology department or any of the science departments up todate, Elich said. "There's scarcely enough money to handle material needs â€” pencils, books,periodicals, equipment," Elich said. To defray costs, the political science department now charges fourcents per page for copies of handouts. Meiner called the department's equipment budget "obsolete."The budget diet, however, could have been more severe. The College of Arts and Sciences â€” theuniversity's largest college with two-thirds of its programs â€” lost seven faculty positions this year. Itwas supposed to lose 14, but seven positions were saved by having faculty members who teach duringthe summer session not work during one quarter of the regular school year. But in June, the sevenpositions that had been spared will disappear and the college will have 14 fewer faculty members duringthe 1983-84 year than during 1981-82. This is the only school year the administration will allow summershifts to save positions. The budget cuts have hit small departments the most. In the College of Artsand Sciences, each department (regardless of its size) lost from one-half to one faculty position. Thebiology and home economics departments each lost one position. Thisyear the biology department has 16 full-time positions, meaning it had lost approximately 5 percent of its faculty. The home economics department, now with five positions, suffered approximately a 16 percent loss in faculty. "The smallerthe department, the more aggravated the cuts will be," Davis said. He noted that smaller departments(such as the journalism and speech departments) might have to be combined. After Nov. 1, thejournalism department no longer will have a full-time secretary. Larger departments are on a diet, too. In1983-84 the psychology department will have one and one-half fewer faculty positions than during 1981-82. "We'll have to drop small enrollment classes in specialty areas," Elich said. This year thedepartment dropped two seminar courses in child development and two graduate seminar classes.Western's growth took decades. Until recently, new programs and courses were common. Just 10 yearsago, the growth seemed to be unlimited. But for now, Western has to find ways to shrink with aminimum of harm to its programs. "Hope springs eternally," Davis said. He added, with a weak grin, "We never will see the golden days of the 1960s again." Acting University President James TalbotDepartments shuffled for fall By LORI McGRIFF The opening of the new South Academic Building setinto place a migration of college departments this summer that may leave some students wanderingthe halls in search of business, sociology and journalism classes. Betty Farnham of the spaceadministration office said the moves may leave students confused for awhile, but they will benefit inthe long run from the musical-chairs, approach. All departments of the College of Business andEconomics are in the South Academic Building and the speech pathology and audiology departmentsare on the ground floor. The journalism department moved from Garden Street Hall, to College Hall. TheFront now occupies the ground floor. Journalism classrooms and offices share the first and second floorswith the speech department. Student media offices, such as Klipsun, Western View and the KUGSnewsroom, are on the first floor. The third floor is reserved for speech (broadcasting) classrooms andoffices. The sociology department moved from the fifth floor of Amtzen Hall to the third floor. Theirvacated spaces will be occupied in part by the liberal studies department, which moved from the third floor of Miller Hall. The third floor of Miller Hall will be used for faculty research offices, visiting facultyoffices and an honors lounge. The faculty need the extra space, Farnham said. She cited pastproblems with finding space for visiting faculty and emeriti faculty. Garden Street Hall may be closedor torn down and the area used for a parking lot. Changes also took place in Old Main. Someadministrators were shuffled and administrative departments moved. Marvin Klein, dean of education, has relocated from Old Main 310 to Miller Hall 220E. The Old Main 300 office complex will houge generalservices, the business manager, vice president for business/financial affairs and purchasing. JamesDavis, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, has been relocated to Old Main 375 and Old Main 360will be used as a conference room The unpacking of boxes and placement of new names on doorsshould be completed within the first couple of weeks of classes, Farnham said. Budget cuts had a bigeffect on the summer moves. Professors and administrators, with some student help, had to packtheir belongings and sweep out their offices before moving to their new, freshly painted offices, Farnhamsaid. Past moves have been done by custodial workers with more help from professional movers. â€¢The shift of departments created a supply of refuse, such as these boxes discarded outside the SouthAcademic Building. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 17 ---------- Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Western Front 17 Westerns future unclear continued from page l) hallowresources. "I wish I could say no, but I expect there vill be more," he said. The WSL and other highereducation-iriented groups are trying to oust anti-ducation legislators from Olympia this all. But with theNovember election luickly approaching Quinlan says expect ng a rejection of Republican policies to becure-all to Western's financial woes ould be a certain mistake. "Change won't come automatically just)ecause we have different people in Jower," Quinlan said. "How knowledge-ible legislators are to theneeds of higher ducation is the real key." Quinlan said that Western is "preparing tu dents to take onvery complex roles in ociety "and that must be made clear to oth politicians and the public. Western'simage may indeed need to be )ushed. As Registrar Gene Omey pointed gt;ut, Washington now fundshigher educa-ion very close to the lowest level in the lation. If the public doesn't reverse this rend, Omeysaid, the results could be lisastrous. Nevertheless, many leaders at Western express confidence that asmooth transition from a time of devastating budget cuts to a new beginning as a contemporaryliberal arts college can be completed. But, says Faculty Senate President William Sailors, "Eachdepartment is going to have to justify its existence. We have to manage our destiny a little bit instead ofust drifting through the cuts." Search goes on for Western's next leader By LESLIE NICHOLS Manyfacets of the campus are undergoing changes and the shakeup extends right to the top with the search for a new president underway. r Western's presidential search committee is scheduled to submit its choices for a ew leader to the Board of Trustees next week. The board then will tackle the task ofpicking a successor by December. Search committee members have narrowed the number ofapplicants to IS and next week will present to the trustees a list of four to seven candidates from whichwill emerge a replacement for former university President Paul Olscamp. - Olscamp left Western inJuly to become president of Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. The 15candidates were screened for certain qualifications including administrative experience; communication skills is\ dealing with faculty, students and boards; and experience in fund raising and working withlegislators, said Peter Elich, vice-chairman of the search committee. Members of the committee now arecontacting people in the candidates' communities, as well as faculty members, studentgovernment leaders and others in order to "get a variety of different points of view," Elich said. Describing the process as "fine tuning to zero in on people," search committee student representative DarcyRoenfeldt said the purpose of calls being made to the candidates' campuses is to get peer reaction tothe person and check on leadership style and rapport with students, staff and faculty. The finalists,chosen by the Board of Trustees, will come to Western separately some time during fall quarter,Roenfeldt said. Following final interviews the trustees are expected to select a new president and make* ah gt; announcement by Christmas vacatibh'tf not by Dec. 1, Roenfeldt said. y y Â§ L sa*d key tostudent fortunes PHOTO BY GARY LINDBERG By ELAYNE ANDERSON Despite student apathy andadmnistrative roadblocks, Central Washington University and the University of Washington joined theranks of the Washington Student Lobby this summer. Recent higher education cuts of almost 20percent and the largest tuition increases ever at one time prompted students to organize in the form ofthe WSL. The WSL still is in the planning stages, with many obstacles to be hurdled. .Its proponentsand organizers, however, are hopeful it will be ready for the upcoming legislative session with a full-timelobbyist. Although the goals of the WSL have not been clearly defined, its general aim is to protect thefinancial concerns of students and higher education, in regard to tuition increases and budget axing bylegislators. Mark Murphy, Western's Associated Students president, said the goals of the WSL aretwofold. The first is to educate and influence legislators to the needs of students and to persuade them to vote favorably toward higher education. Many legislators, Murphy said, do not realize the problemsfacing students today. "The don't see why we can't go out and get a part-time job and supportourselves," Murphy said. "In many cases, going to college today is not the same as when they went.They just don't understand the problems." The second job of the WSL will be to inform studens of whatis happening to higher education in Olympia by posting the voting records of legislators and keeping anupdated bulletin board outside the AS office in the Viking Union. Murphy urged students to call or writetheir legislators and vote for those who support student interests. "Student government has always triedto have an effect in Olympia, but without the students backing them it's difficult," Murphy said. "TheWSL wants to create a more politically aware student population, and 70-80,000 votes can make adifference. Former AS President Greg Sobel, who played a major role in organizing the WSL, termed it"simply a question of power." "Students as an unorganized group were vulnerable to budget cuts andtuition increases, which grew out of our impotence in the political arena," Sobel said. "If the legislatorswill not support student interests then the students will boot him or her out." The WSL actually beganorganizing last January, although the idea was discussed as early as the spring of 1980, Sobel said. The first stage was to get at least 50 percent of the student population at each four-year institution to signpetitions supporting the WSL. The boards of trustees or regents at each school then had to approve theWSL. Western ratifeid the WSL last spring leading the *way for It earlier looked like theUW might trashthe WSL, but now the lobby is moving along strongly. other schools. Eastern Washington University and The Evergreen State College are the only four-year institutions in Washington that have not ratified theWSL, having failed to complete their petitiqn drives. To ensure all signatures are valid, both schools must start over collecting signatures during fall registration. The WSL is supported solely by studentsassessing themselves $1 when paying tuition. Western will use a negative check-off system, in whichstudents not wanting to support the WSL merely mark the appropriate box on their fee billing cards.Students at Washington State University must request their dollar from the cashier if they do not want to support the WSL. The UW and Central have positive check-offs on their fee billing cards. The positivecheck-off system may cause funding problems for the WSL. Students may be less willing to exert theadded effort to donate $1, WSL organizers say. Murphy said although he would like to see at least 70percent â€¢ of the student population support the WSL with their dollars, he said 40-50 percent would be more realistic. "Times are tight," Murphy said. "I don't know how many students realize the importanceof the WSL, but I hope all who signed the petitions will donate $1." Because of the uncertainty of theamount of funding the WSL will receive, a few answers still are pending such as the size of its Olympiastaff. Murphy said petitions may have to be combined, but no decision has been made. Each schoolthat ratifies the WSL will have its own local chapter, which will send representatives to the statechapter. Although a National Student Lobby exists, the WSL has no plans to join, Murphy said.Nominations for local board members will be made in an open meeting Oct. 6, and voting will take placeOct. 13. All students who assess themselves $1 automatically become members of the WSL. TheWSL is not without potential problems. Thomas Quinlan, Western's vice president for student affairs,said he is concerned each institution and student will have their own interests, which may becounterproductive to the WSL's overall goals. Quinlan also expressed concern the WSL would try torepresent too many separate issues. "The concern I have is they will take on too much and neutralizethe impact they have," Quinlan said. Quinlan also warned that to be effective the WSL must do morethan merely say they support an issue, they must produce facts. "It is tedious research, but you need to have evidence to show legislators why they should support higher education," Quinlan said. Pointingout that Western's Board of Trustees supported the WSL from the onset, Quinlan said he sees the WSL as positive and having potential. "It (WSL) can make legislators more responsive to students andhighlight the interest and accessibility or inaccessibility of higher education," Quinlan said. The WSLalso will help educate students that a decision will be made whether they are a part of making thedecision or not Quinlan said. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 18 ---------- (T Western Front Tuesday, September 21,13 ' Western computers do a lot more besides calculationsBy BARBARA SCABAROZI "Enter your student number," commands the computer terminal.

But without knowing what passageways to use or where to find the referencesection, that knowledge may seem inaccessible. Students wanting to acquaint themselves withresearch materials and selections offered can take a tour, conducted during the second week ofclasses. One-hour tours will be offered at 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday next week Thelibrary has two faces, old and new. The double-arched north entrance still looks like it did in 1928, whenthe first Washington State Normal School students pushed through the wrought iron doors. Inside theentrance a portrait of Mabel Zoe Wilson, the first librarian and for whom the library is named, watchesover the electrical detection system. On the first floor are card catalogs, a reference area, reservebook room and circulation desk. Student identification cards, which will be needed to check outbooks, can be picked up in late September. Undergraduates have a two . week borrowing privilege;graduate students one quarter. Students may Tenew a book as many times as they want untilsomeone else requests it. Students should be careful to watch due dates, because fines are chargedfor overdue books. Western is one of the few automated university library systems in the PacificNorthwest, said Jan Nichols, reference technician and tour guide. Before trekking off to the stacks,students can check a computer print-out of books in circulation to find out if a book has been checkedout, when it is due and if it is being mended or is lost. Books not available at-Westem may be borrowedfrom other libraries through inter-library loan. The new student ascending the central stone staircasefinds what seems to be the second floor labeled "third" and no apparent way to go higher. This isbecause the central part of the building is the original library and the additions required separatestaircases and elevators. Additions to the library were built in 1962 and 1972. The smaller east wing has four floors and the west wing has five. From its 800-book beginning in 1898, the library collection hasincreased to over a half-million volumes. The additions, with modern ceiling heights, are joined to the old library, which-has a second-floor ceiling height of 33 feet. The attempt to keep the original building intact has resulted in problems getting from one wing to another. Only the first and third floors have centralareas. Nichols said she advises new students to avoid confusion by using the east or west stairs orelavators at first, rather than the stone staircase. On the first floor in the east wing is the periodicalreading room, where current periodicals and newspapers are displayed. Bound periodicals are here andin the east basement. The education library and reference annex are on 2-west and a children'scollection is on 2-east. The third floor has the literature collection. Science periodicals are on 4- west. The government documents collection, which includes U.S., Washington State and Canadiangovernment publications of many kinds, historical and current, is on 4-west. Getting to the fifth floor isa real trick The easiest way is from the first floor. Only one elevator and stairway connect to the fifthfloor, those on the south side in back of the circulation desk The Special Collections Department on the fifth floor contains university archives, rare books and the library media center, which provides aplace for listening to records, tapes and cassettes and for viewing filmstrips.

By MITCH EVICH It is a late-summer ritual performed at hundreds of other colleges, and thescenes are conspicuously uniform. Young men clad in synthetic armor drive up and down a playing fieldunder a relentless morning sun. Shouts of feigned pleasure arising in the midst of grueling toil. The shrillshriek of a whistle is followed by the dull thud of helmets clashing. It is, of course, the prelude to another season of college football, an institution that has grown as venerable as it has profitable. Successfulbig-time teams draw in hundreds of thousands, even millions of dollars in revenue. Other schools, smaller in size but not in enthusiasm, have cultivated the sport into a stellar source of campus pride. A visitor to Western's football camp during the long days of early September would have found things quitedifferent here. The football team is in danger of extinction. A protracted political struggle, a withering offinancial resources, and a 17-game losing streak have joined forces to put an unbreakable strangleholdon the program. The latest and possibly most serious damage came in the form of a referendumapproved by 54 percent of voting students last May, calling for an end to the use of student fees tosupport football. Political stormclouds The measure, which would effectively eliminate the sport ifimplemented, carries no binding authority and is technically nothing more than a yardstick of studentopinion. Its symbolic.importance, however, has not gone undetected. Players and coaches, althoughthey do not particularly enjoy discussing it, know the implications are grave. But while politicalstormclouds line up on this fall's horizon like so many nationally-ranked opponents, team members arekeeping their attention focused solely on the battles they have been trained to fightâ€”those that takeplace between the chalk lines of a football field. And despite a losing streak which stretches back toOctober 1980, and a spring recruiting harvest severely blighted by news of the referendum, attitudesamong the 60 or so players on this year's roster remain upbeat, a tribute to resiliency if nothing else.Optimism misleading . "One thing for sure, there's a lot more unity than last year," says sophomore AlCuaron, a former linebacker struggling to make the shift to defensive end. "Everybody's talkingeverybody's together." "It's definitely better," adds quarterback Eric Ummel. "A lot of it is due to atransition of leadership. I think we have a lot of guys with real positive characters." Despite surfaceoptimism, the bitterness left by the referendum vote and other political problems is easy to detect."Every spring they bring out something about how they're going to drop the program, and theregoes our recruiting year," laments all-star wide receiver Bill Handy. "We've got good people here, but you need tobring in new ones. You need help." When Handy was recruited in 1978 following his senior year atNooksack Valley high school, Western still could claim to field a competitive ballclub. Only one yearearlier, the Vikings had made it to the Kingdome for a bowl game with powerful Pacific LutheranUniversity. A year before that, Western won the conference championship. During Handy s years here,though, things have steadily deteriorated. Although the squad won a respectable four of nine games in1979, 1980 proved disastrous, producing one outright victory, and one by forfeit. 'I couldn't believe it.'Handy also has seen student dissatisfaction with the program interfere with the club's ability toprosper, an experience he perhaps politely terms "very frustrating." "I couldn't believe it," said Handy, his voice trembling slightly as he recalled the moment he learned of the election returns. "I thought I wasgoing to have to go somewhere else and play my senior year." Handy, like so many other Westernplayers, became a victim of a battle whose first nascent stirrings took place several years before.Inexorable forcesâ€”political, economic and demographicâ€”have washed over Western in recent years, and they have wreaked their share of havoc. The current crisis began most visibly in April 1980, whenthen-University President Paul Olscamp, reacting to the economic realities of spiraling inflation, toldWestern's board of trustees "some or all intercollegiate athletics" might need to be eliminated.Olscamp appointed a task force, which reported back to him in January the following year. Then thingsgot hot. Task force members initially recommended terminating football, but Olscamp convinced themto exempt it from the other six sports destined for the budgetary chopping-block Football was saved.Baseball, wrestling, golf, field hockey, and men's and women's tennis were not. The Associated Students Board of Directors, led by President Greg Sobel, were outraged. A presidential debate Sobel contended that by circumventing the task force and applying pressure to the trustees to accept his proposalsupporting football, Olscamp violated state law. Sports at Western are almost solely supported throughstudent Service and Activity fees, and therefore, Sobel argued, subject to student control. The issue,initially designed to elucidate the future of interscholastic sports at Western, suddenly shifted to aquestion of student versus administrative powers. The AS Board, flexing its own muscles, defiantlymoved to terminate football, and a complex struggle ensued. In the end, Sobel lost. The trustees'decision, providing football with a five-year mandate, remained standing. Off-field problems wereforgotten temporarily, as Western entered a season that most players probably would not want toremember. But while the ballclub completed perhaps its worst season in history, "Every spring theybring out something about how they're going to drop the program, and there goes the recruiting year.'â€”wide receiver Bill Handy future turmoil bubbled imperceptibly beneath the surface. On April 7 of thisyear, the issue erupted anew. Dan Vossen, a senior political science major, approached the Service and Activity Fee Split Committee with a succinct but explosive request: terminate varsity football atWestern. Rather than focus on budgetary problems, Vossen based his request on football'spotential for injury, most tragically illustrated by the case of Chris Thompson, a Seattle High Schoolplayer paralyzed during a game in 1976. Thompson won a $6.4 million lawsuit last February againstthe Seattle school board. Vossen backed out But when Vossen presented his plan, already filed as aninitiative in the upcoming student election, to a sub-committee of student-fee funding, he ran into theconsiderable opposition ofViking Head Coach Boyde Long. The 13-year mentor was more than willingto provide Vossen with a lesson in preventive medicine. "I had a talk with him about what we havedone over the years to prevent injuries," Long recalled recently. "He thought about it, and then hecalled me at home, and said he had decided to drop (the initiative." Vossen's change of heart, however,did not insure the initiative's removal. After nearly 500 students had signed petitions supporting theproposal, the AS Board voted unanimously to keep it on the ballot as a referendum. Ironically, Sobel asAS president again, became the spokesman for anti-football interests. This time he would not come outon the losing side. Doorbell effort failed With election day fast approaching, the football team in earlyMay staged a last-ditch effort to avert a defeat at the polls. For three evenings, football players went door-to- door among residence halls, defending their right to play football and refuting what they saw asinaccurate attacks against the size of football's budget. (One of the main arguments to drop the program was based on its high cost-per-participant, although football proponents argued costs werecomparatively low compared to other extracurricular activities.) The political efforts failed. Of theapproximately 2,400 students who voted, 1,300 supported the referendum. The close vote evokedcriticism from some observers who asserted the team did not do enough to help its own cause, but Longand Assistant Coach Rich Brudwick flatly reject such arguments. "I don't know if we could have won it,"said Brudwick a 270-pound former Viking offensive tackle. "But I don't think a football team should even get into a political battle. You shouldn't have to go door to door to try to get somebody to vote for yourprogram." Long put it more succinctly: "A football team should not be involved in politics." At Western,however, the football team is very much involved in politics, whether its members like it or not. And thestruggles are far from over. With diminishing student monies resulting from decreased enrollment, allstudent-supported programs will be under scrutiny by the S A fee split committee this fall. And inthose and other battles in the months ahead, the fate of varsity football at Western will be determined.Next: a look at what must be done if the program is to survive. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 22 ---------- 22 Western Front Tuesday, September 21,1982 Vikes seasoned withNBA: Westphal new cage coachBy SCOTT FISK The freshly engraved brass nameplate already is placed on the basketball coach'soffice door in Carver Gymnasium. An all-too-familiar back-to-school, moving-in scene is going on insidethe small two-desk compartment: carefully marked boxes and stacked in piles; bare walls, awaiting thepersonal touch of mementos collected over the years; soon-to-be-filled shelves that still have an outlinein dust of books belonging to the former resident. Western's newly appointed head basketball coach, Bill Westphal (brother Paul is the former Seattle SuperSonic star currently playing for the New YorkKnicks), takes a seat in his desk chair, which barely accommodates his outstretched legs. The 6-6Westphal, like his brother, is a former standout player at the University of Southern California Despitethe somewhat chaotic surroundings, the 36-year-old Westphal is relaxed and seemingly at home inhis new office. For the past two years, Westphal was the assistant coach with the financiallystruggling San Diego Clippers of the National Basketball Association. After owner Donald Sterling fired15 of 22 people from the organization to cut costs, Westphal got the pink slip. "There were other jobs(in the NBA) I could have looked at, but getting back to a college program really appealed to me," hesaid. "Timing was a major factor because I found out about the opening (at Western) shortly after I wasfired." Some might see his acceptance of the vacated coaching job at Western as a step down from the . NBA For Westphal it is an opportunity, in his estimation, to return to a familiar small collegeatmosphere. He coached for seven seasons at Occidental College in Los Angeles, Calif, which hasan enrollment of 2,000. "I like the atmosphere of a smaller campus," Westphal said. "After I made theinquiry (the position became available July 15 when former coach Denny Huston accepted an assistantcoach position at the University of Wyoming), the appeal began to grow more and more with me." Theselection committee comprised of Athletic Director Boyde Long, Women's Athletic Director and HeadWomen's Basketball Coach Lynda Goodrich, Sports Information Director Paul Madison andCommittee Chairman and Registrar Eugene Omey played a major role in luring Westphal. "I knew Icould work easily with them," Westphal said. "I wouldn't have come if I didn't like the people representing the school. It was a very relaxing situation." "It's (Bellingham) everything I thought it would be. I. wasencouraged byalot of different people who told me just how good an opportunity coaching at Westerncould be." Born in New York and living in California for the past 35 years, Westphal brings to theNorthwest an impressive list of credentials. He: â€”averaged 22 points as a senior at Aviation HighSchool (Manhattan Beach, Calif.) It's (Bellingham) everything I thought it would be. I was encouragedby a lot of different people who told me just how good an opportunity coaching at Western could be.' â€”played forward at USC, where he was named the Trojans Most Improved Player in 1965 â€”was voted most Inspirational Player in 1966 â€”compiled an overall record of 111-77 as head coach atOccidental College and 64-20 mark in conference play â€”won three conference championships(1975, 1976, 1980) â€”was named National Association of Basketball Coaches District VI Coach ofthe Year in 1976 and again in 1980. â€”was-an assistant coach with the San Diego Clippers of the NBAunder head coach Paul Silas for two years. Westphal steps into a program, which thanks to the one-year effort by Denny Huston, bounced from a 4-21 record to finish 13-12 last season, made the playoffsand averaged 2,500 home game ' attendance last season. "It's great to come into a program alreadystepping in the right direction," Westphal said. "Denny did a lot to get it going, it will make it that mucheasier for me to continue improving it." Westphal pegs himself as a disciple of the John Woodenphilosophy â€” fast break at every opportunity, man-to-man defense and impenetrable presses."The pro game also will definitely influence my decision to integrate it (pro-style ball) into thisprogram," Westphal said. "But I'm undecided as of yet precisely what type of ball we'll play. Itdepends on the first month with the players. It will definitely be fast-paced and exciting style ball."Westphal will get his first look at Western's returning players and new recruits in a conditioning classhe wilj teach during fall quarter. Judging from what Westphal has planned for practices, theconditioning class is essential for prospective players. "Usually one-third or sometimes one-half ofpractice will be fast-break drills," Westphal said. "They will need to be in shape for the fast-tempo styleof ball." Westphal's plans for continu- Bill Westphal, Western's newly appointed basketball coach, sayshe is here to stay and plans on building a championship program. is to share a prestigious coaching job. ing to build the program by recruiting, he said, will not be hampered by the nonscholarship status ofWestern athletics. "It's a handicap, but I'm in agreement that it is another set of headaches when youstart buying players," Westphal said. "It can be overcome by having a good place to play (referring to his goal of filling Carver Gym this season) and a winning record." "Also having a name coach will attractplayers," Westphal said matter-of-factly. Occidental also is a non-scholarship college. Westphal said along-time dream he shares with his brother Paul and close friend John Block "We've always talked about someday coaching together at a major college such as USC or in the NBA," Westphal said. "I'd jumpat such an opportunity, but the likelihood of it happening in the near future is highly unlikely." .."It's like putting the pieces together of a puzzle," Westphal said. "In a way I'm writing my own adventure storyand it's rewarding to work with players who are attending school for academic as well as athleticpurposes." Alumni not nostalgic jocks after all I have seen too many Dean Martin or Jerry Lewis moviesthat portray the typical alumnus as the nostalgic jock who, at the age of 50, still buys season tickets for seats in the glee club section for every athletic event and can sing the alma mater without the aid of theprinted lyrics on the back of the program. I was pleased to learn that the Alumni Association is balanced with a mixture of academic and athletic achievement. And that the members are not a lot of nostalgic remnants of Western's past but simply people who are concerned with the future of higher education.. The president of the association this year is a graduate student at Gonzaga and next year'spresident is an elementary school teacher. These hardly fit the category of the Lewis or Martin anticsI've seen. Steven Inge, director of the Alumni Association, said many graduates of Western becomemembers of the association because they feel a "sense of indebtedness" and some join for the chanceto visit old friends. Whatever the reason, these people add a cohesion to higher education. Twenty-fiveboard members of the Alumni Association, residing anywhere from Vancouver, B.C. to Salem, Ore.,constitute a nonprofit organization. These people have the influence to sway legislators to vote infavor of colleges in Washington. Inge said some legislators have reportecrthat "when it came time tovote on an issue, they often remembered what a constituent of theirs had said and felt it was influentialin their decision." Western receives financial support as well as political. Ten percent of the association's funds go toward scholarships and a hefty amount each year is allotted for grants to be awarded to thelibrary, career planning, the theater department or whatever organization may need assistance^ â€¢â€¢ Amidst the deeds the alumni endow upon Western, the members devote their time to rewardingthemselves. The association has planned wine tasting parties at St. Michele and has treated itsmembers to a gourmet dinner. The association also is meant to provide an opportunity for alumni toreminisce. I've decided through the sports section to allow some of Western's top alumni athletes toreflect on their victories and to mourn their losses. To speak of a group of people as a whole can neverserve as an adequate description. The individual's personal experiences tend to enlighten far morethan an impersonal sketch.

Commercial St 733-4778 ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 23 ---------- Tuesday, September 21,1982 Western Front 23 Western loses opener toPLU By SCOTT FISK TheWestern Viking football team suffered its 17th consecutive loss, 39-7, at the hands of nationally ranked Pacific Lutheran University Saturday night. The season opener for both clubs, played on a dry Indiansummer evening, was in PLU's back pocket after the Lutes mounted a 20-0 lead six seconds into thesecond quarter. Ranked 6th nationally in the NAIA Division II pre-season poll, the Lutes displayedoffensive execution, which did not make the Vikings look bad â€” merely outplayed by a superior foe.The Lutes rushed for 178 yards in the first half while the Vikings managed eight. If a candle can be put inthe window of the Vikings' dim performance, it has to be the "Ummel-Handy" connection. QuarterbackEric Ummel and fourth year standout receiver Bill Handy connected for 100 yards and the lone Westerntouchdown. But had it not been for an illegal procedure call during Western's second possession,the duo could have tacked an 87-yard painfully called back touchdown pass to their total. The Vikings'scoring drive, which took seven plays for 79 yards, was Ummel- Handy all the way except for two of theyards. It was during this drive that Ummel displayed the accuracy of his slingshot arm. Umrriel,plagued by injuries his first two seasons, may have the potential to throw past his 634-yard freshmanmark. Ummel completed nine of 23 passes for ir51 yards, 10 yards short of Western's total offense. The seore, 20-7, looked like it would remain frozen until the Ijalf.ended. Western's defense stopped-PI;U;i gt;n fourth and' one, then intercepted on "PLU's' next possession. ' Viking running back JohnLocker cuts upfield. the kill. After Western failed to go anywhere with the ball, PLU took the punt with4:05 remaining and went for one last drive. With 23 seconds remaining halfback Rob Spear ran aroundleft end for a one-yard touchdown run to finish the half 26-7. The Viking defense displayed good gangtackling technique, however, with plenty of hard sticks, unlike past seasons. Unfortunately, theaggressive defense usually came after Lute running backs Rob Spear, Nick Brossoit and Jeff Fohralready had gained first downs. The PLU trio combined for 259 of the 357 total rushing yards for thegame. PLU gained 31 first downs to Western's five. Typical of most season openers, the second halfbecame a defensive battle, with neither team scoring during the third .quarter. -,.--â€¢ V ..â€¢--, gt; i ^ 'The Vikings* failed to t:omplete a drive after crossing the fifty yard line for the Pacific Lutheran Universitydefensive tackle Curt Christiansen (78) closes in for second time. The rest of the quarter was spentpunting from their own 20 yard line. By the end of the third quarter many of the estimated 2,000 fans inattendance began to leave. The Lutes scored two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter on sharplyexecuted drives to raise the score to 39-7. Western has not won a season opener since 1971 when itdefeated Western Oregon. The Vikings' next game is September 25, 1:30 p.m. at Linfield College inMcMinn-ville, Oregon.

The varsity volleyball team played against a tenacious alumnisquad on Sept. 10 in Carver Gym. The original plan was to play two out of three games for a win, but the alumni team, sprinkled with a conglomerate of past Viking talent, opted to play a few more gameswith the varsity team. The alumni team had two all-region players from recent years, one of the bestsetters in West-em's history, and the wife of a coach here at Western. These women and a few otherswarmed up only a half hour before taking on the varsity team. The varsity team has been practicingsince Aug. 30. Only one starter and three other players returned this year, leaving Coach Paul Clinton"clueless" as to the team's future. Clinton said it would be unfair to even attempt to predict the team'ssuccess because he "has nothing to go on." Jackie Nelson, this year's team captain, and Sherri McKeeare the only two â€¢players Clinton has seen in game performance. Because fewer players j returned,Clinton reduced his team by five members. The team has nine players instead of 14, the size of theteam last year. Clinton said it will take the team about t"\ gt; matches to get organized with the gamepatterns. "Once they're organized," said Clinton, "the team members will be able to play their basicskills." "Right now, they're a young team." Last year, the volleyball team competed in the Association of Interscholastic Athletics for Women, but the association has since been canceled. The team hasmoved to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The men's teams always havecompeted in the NAIA, thus deciding the change-over for the women. One of the alumni playersdescribed the Vikings' season: "It's hard to tell how the team will doâ€”both with the team being fairlynew and some of the teams-they'll compete against are unexplored by this team. "There's no way topredict." IF SCHOOL HAS TOU OUT ON A LIMB... RENT TOUR FURNITURE! RENT THREE ROOMSFROM '28.50 PER MONTH WITH PURCHASE OPTION.

Looking to start off from the last year's fast finish,Western women's soccer team again should challenge for the NCAA championship. The team has been placed among the top three for the last six seasons, winning two league titles and placing as runner-up three times. The Vikings finished their 1981 campaign by winning the University of Oregon InvitationalTournament. They defeated the host Ducks, who went on to sixth place at nationals, 2-1 in thechampionship contest. Coach Dominic Garguile's squad was 7-2-5 overall and placed third in the NCAAwith a 4-1-5 mark. The returnees for this season are All-NCSC forward Cindy Gordon, a sophomorefrom Des Moines; forward Colleen Clancy and all-league forward Paula French, both sophomores fromTacoma; midfielder Kelly O'Reilly, junior from Seattle and midfielder Karen Van Houtte, a senior also from Seattle.

Tony Bartlett, women's team coach, said the team is "starting fresh." Currently, Bartlett has eight women running for the Vikings.He is unsure of how many runners will be gained through recruits to compete during the season. "It'lltake half the season to figure out what we've got," Bartlett said. Saturday the teams ran againstalumni competition at Lake Pad-den.

The film is not rated. When was the last time you rooted for the Germans in a war movie? Billed as "the otherside of World War Two," the German-made "Das Boot" is an enlightening experience to a generationwhose only previous picture of the German struggle comes in the form of U.S. war time propaganda films and "Hogans Heroes." "Das Boot" is hardly propaganda material, its characters are neither banalparodies or flag waving super heroes. The story of a U-boat crew fighting a losing battle to the British inthe Atlatic is engrossing and compelling, never moralistic or emphatic. Even at two and one-half hours,the film retains an exhausting intensity. "Das Boot" is magnificently filmed, capturing the con-finedness of 43 men trying to survive in the small submarine/boat. The battle footages of encounters KlausWennemann plays the chief engineer, Jurgen Prochnow stars as the U-boat captain and HerbertGronemeyer portrays the war correspondent who serve aboard a German U-boat in 'Das Boot.' withBritish destroyers are The most amazing aspect of audience into another man's stunning. the film is theway it draws the struggle. The viewer at various times feels claustrophobic, jubilant, saddened andalways tense. The result is a draining experience. The action, far from the usual war film fare, is neverpredictable. The plot takes enough twists to keep the viewer as unnerved as the German seamen. Thefilm is subtitled, which doesn't distract from the plot or charecters. The subtitles are easy to read and the German language adds authenticity to the picture. The characters convey the anguish, loneliness andfright of young men with the odds against themâ€”the nationalistic, "overgrown Hitler Youth leader"who awakens to the truth behind the propaganda; the German youth secretly engaged to his pregnantFrench girlfriend; and the journalist who learns the meaning of fear and destiny. The cast is uniformlysuperb, with standout performances by Herbert Gronemeyer as Lieutenant Werner and JurgenProchnow as the U-boat captain. "Das Boot," the film that made big waves in its native Germany, isbound to hit home as a strong anti-war statement, as well as a portrayal of universal struggles. The Who turn full circle on 'It's Hard' By MALCOLM LAWRENCE The Who have accomplished the impossible.Behind the back of an audience that had written them off as well as the Rolling Stones two years ago,the band has released an album just as good, if not better than,' the classic album "Who's Next." Byrevitalizing the music into a defiant blend of the thundering Who of the past with a streamlined,synthesizer-laced Who of the present to take on the future, the band has found the zealous bite itoriginally had. "It's Hard" draws many comparisons to "Who's Next" because both albums share thesame kind of excitement of a world dynamically involved with the present, but still holding onto the past.Lyrically, and in many ways musically, a feeling of evolution weaves through the songs, which arebalanced by throwaway references to God that sound trivial but keep the strength and the motivation ofthe album tightly wound. The key to this is, of course, Pete Townshend, the once and future sentinel ofrock and roll, who has finally found happiness in his family, life and music. Although world affairs havegiven the 37- year-old guitarist enough ambition to continue writing songs, Townshend has" decided to accept the fact he is getting old and takes the place of the first father of rock gracefully. Awell of advicefor both young and used-to- be-young springs from the album in a curt, but not rude style with the intentto regroup the rats now that "the piper has been found." The twelve songs that comprise "It's Hard" spinoff the vinyl fast and confident, tying together many of the loose ends that have been left for so long. Bydoing so, the band has regained its energy into a cohesive, coherent whole, which eluded it throughout the 1970s. "Athena" heralds the opening of the album. A truly happy, effervescent Who song, perhapsthe first since "Going Mobile." John Entwistle finally has managed to give his horns a rich tone without sounding brash, and uses them throughout the album with the resonant style introduced on"Quadrophenia." The tacked on lyric "she's a bomb" distinctly sounds like "she's a whore" whichwould support the theory that Townshend has fused madonna and whore into a contemporary lady,sharing the values and vices of life with one woman rather than two. Of course, maybe it is saying "she'sa bomb," and comparing the essence of life to the substance of a stereo-typical- sex symbol: beautiful,but empty. Take your pick. "Cooks County and "Eminence Front" share similarities topically, but not atall musically. The former, reducing Clash rhetoric to the phrase "People are suffering," and by etchingthe echoed beat onto the lyrics, moves grudgingly slow like the breadline it evokes. The latter drifts alilting synthesizer on top of a behemoth beat that fully illustrates what the song is saying, about peoplehiding behind their happiness when they know that something terrifying, like reality, may lurkoutside. "I've Known No War" may be the closest the band ever gets to remaking "Won't Get FooledAgain," right down to the famous Daltrey rebel yell, which this time comes out as the word WAR Thestrings that keep peeking out signify that, although a victory, any victory may be in sight, it probably willbe only a brief one. The next song, "One Life's Enough," pours on more strings than the previous song,and sketches a lovely scene as tender as the Who have ever done, then yanks it away, as war can, tohammer home.the message. "Why Did I Fall ForThat?" rings with the warmth of a Telecaster dipped in a Western-style movie and yearns to know why society (The Who included) has been so apathetic whenit's four minutes to midnight by the Armageddon clock. "The truth is," like Jimmy cursed inQuadrophenia, "we have forgotten how we used to fight." Fight as struggle, not as violence for its ownsake. Many factions of a generation are pointed to on. this album; the punks, the heavy metalers, eventhe audience that has grown up with the Who, for not living up to the rebellious stances they onceadopted, now just using them as fashions. But "Cry If You Want" tears down any notion that the bandhas become stilted as they indict themselves as well as their fans, new and old. One glance at thealbum cover defines the current Who perfectly. The easiest way to surrender to society is by degradingits monuments, no matter how modern or traditional. But by respecting them and learning about themthe creative process can become eternal rather than momentary. Art as a lathe, rather than a hammer. The Who have finally returned to their original premise; screaming at the world with the knowledge of astudent' and the gall of a punk to try to unite the audience into an aware, excited bunch. As a variation on the lyric from "Cooks County," this group is so old it has ended up where it began. A nice bit ofcyclical philosophy for the band, once so intent on dying at an early age. Meet the new Who, same asthe old Who; at last. ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 28 ---------- 28 Western Front Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Fall Film Schedule Quadrophenia Nov. 14 Pixote Nov. 4 Fireman's Ball Oct. 28 Kongi's Harvest Oct. 21 Thursday Films Sept. 23 Sept. 30 Oct. 7 Oct. 14Oct. 21 Oct. 28 Nov. 4 Nov. 11 Nov. 18 Dec. 2 Voyage to Grand Tartarie Satan's Brew Rise and Fallof Louis XIV Kagemusha Kongi's Harvest Fireman's Ball Pixote Macunaima La Grande Bourgeois ASlave of Love Gallipoli Nov. 21 Saturday Films Sept. 25 Gates of Heaven Oct. 2 Cousin/Couisine Oct. 9 My Dinner With Andre Oct. 16 Rashomon Oct. 23 An Unmarried Woman Oct. 30 Nosferatu Nov. 6Seventh Seal Nov. 13 The Devils Nov. 20 Spider's Strategem Dec. 4 It Happened One Night It's aWonderful Place Sunday Films Sept. 19 Ticket to Heaven Sept. 26 Chariots of Fire Oct. 3 ExcaliberOct. 10 Neighbors Oct. 17 Mommie Dearest Oct. 24' Just a Gigolo Oct. 31 Poltergeist Nov. 7 PersonalBest Nov. 14 Quadrophenia Nov. 21 Gallipoli Nov. 28 East of Eden Splendor in the Grass Dec. 5 OnGolden Pond * * * Today! * * * Sept. 21 Star Wars (Shows at noon, 3, 6:30 and 9 p.m.) Mommie Dearest Oct. 17 Kongi's Harvest Oct. 21 Kagemusha Oct. 14 Nosferatu Oct. 30 An Unmarried Woman Oct. 23La Grande Bourgeoise Nov. 18 ---------- Western Front - 1982 September 21 - Page 29 ---------- Tuesday, September 21, 1982 Western Front 29 Foreign films highlight fall lineup By GORDON WEEKS With the addition of a new projection system and format, the Program Commission's campus moviesystem offers students a "film goer's holiday," said Film Coordinator Andy Potter. The selection of filmsis "pretty encompassing . . . there's something for eveiyone," Potter said. "It's a gopd representation of art cinema in the last five years." . A foreign film series debuts Thursday with "Voyage to GrandTartaric" and continues weekly with such classics as "Satan's Brew," "La Grande Bourgeouis" and "Rise and Fall of Louis XIV." "Film classes are taking off on campus, and that's raised an interest in othertypes of cinema," Potter said. The Saturday series will provide a chance to see critically acclaimedfilms that are considered timeless, beginning with "Gates of Heaven" and including "My Dinner withAndre," "Cousin/Cousine," "Rashoman" and "Nosferatu." The Powerhouse Sunday series starts with the Academy Award winner for Best Picture of 1981, "Chariots of Fire." "Poltergeist," "Excaliber,"Neighbors" and "OIn Golden Pond" are a few of the box office blockbusters featured.

So'you thought selecting andpreparing your own meals was going to be a great adventure. It does present a challenge, and whilestudents have been known to survive three straight quarters of their own cooking, a few helpfulsuggestions could keep the poverty-stricken, SAGA-less scholar's taste buds from nodding off. Theinexpensive staple foods - instant potatoes, instant rice, and the granddaddy of them allâ€”Top Ramenâ€” not only are quick and easy to fix, but require the use of only one pot or pan. If you live alone noplate or bowl is required. Price variety is'another plus when purchasing these items. Boxed macaroniand cheese is a prime example, ranging from the u n p a r a l l e l e d Kraft brand (preferred two to oneby school children, we're told) to the lowly Penny Saver product (reminiscent of the paper-mache gluethe class clown would eat in third grade). By adding a couple of hot dog buns (leftover from the Fourth of July) to this leaden meal, one is bound to be satisfactorily bloated for hours. Turkey dogs and Viennasausages do wonders, and leftover macaroni can always be revitalized with a generous drowning ofketchup to make a hearty breakfast. Breakfast is the easiest meal to prepare on a meager budget,simply because most of us go without it anyway. But for the student with five minutes to spare, anything can become breakfast food. Month old bread Hopeful survivors of their own cooking, in this case PennySmart macaroni, Top Ramen on toast, and Generic beer. crusts are converted into toast, sale-pricedburritos are transformed into a hot meal, and stale donuts become. . . well, staler donuts if you don'teat them sometime. Buying meat presents a problem not only because of the cost, but alsopreparation. How many freshly uprooted 18-year-old guys do you know who can fix anything morecomplicated than frozen Banquet chicken? The idea is to walk a few paces from the mainstream meatsection to the multi-layered and multi-assorted bargain bin. Bacon ends? Fry it twice as long as regularbacon and it almost appears to have substance.

Be thankful that turkeys have enough body parts to supply the less fortunate withturkey "extras." Because college students seem to be "cleaning out" their refrigerators every few days,creative "combination" dishes are all the rage: spaghetti noodles, butter and parmesan cheese; chili-franks-n-corn; "bologna I' I I loaf'â€”bologna dipped in mustard (toothpicks optional); cold popcorn withmelted cheese; and of course Top Ramen with anything. All newly invented dishes should be tested onthe neighbor's dog~and keep your paws off his Alpo meat chunks. In a town where students are knownto spend their last $5 on a half rack of brew, the quantity-not- quality rule also applies to beer selection.No one likes beer, they just get used to it - so why not get used to Rheinlander or Generic beer? Nomatter how bland generic products taste, buying them creates a warm sense of self-sacrifice. Staring ata plain, no frills package leaves an impression of irreducible back-to-basicness. This image is confirmed by the product within. When you've finally hit ground level (half a box of Bisquick and a package of splitpea soup) and you can't find any change under your sofa cushions, the last resort is the old pop-in-on-your-buddy-at- mealtime ploy. "Hi, Frank! Just dropped by to return this book I borrowed last yearand...say, what smells so delicious?" "Huh? Delicious? Oh, you must mean Fred's tuna surprise."Well, by golly, I never realized Fred was such a gourmet!" "He's not, but you can have some if youwant." "Well (laughing stupidly) I guess a little wouldn't hurt." "You obviously haven't eaten here lately..." Take heart. Most of us have mothers to nurse us back to health at the end of the quarter.

The sturdy-looking, 90-year-old red brick structure offers a variety of programs: local history and industry exhibits and collections, fine art, ethnographic artifact displays,plus concerts, lectures and tours. Designed by architect Alfred Lee, the Victorian-style building also ison the National Register of Historic Landmarks. It served the town of New Whatcomâ€”later to becomeBellinghamâ€”as City Hall until 1939. A year later the former city hall opened its doors as a museum,thanks to the efforts of the Whatcom Museum Society. The museum remained in operation until 1963when fire destroyed the central tower. The museum reopened in 1968 after the main tower was rebuilt,the exterior restored and the interior remodeled. Reconstruction was finished in 1974. The museum'sfirst floor houses five galleries used for art exhibits. The exhibits usually run for six weeks. A recentexample was the annual "Fibers Unlimited Textile Show," which featured 63 original works of fiber ortextile art. Recently, one of the more popular shows was "Kaleidoscope of Toys," shown lastChristmas season. It drew large crowds, said Public Relations Coordinator Kathy Green. Differenthistorical exhibits also can be viewed on the first floor. These shows, originated by Museum DirectorGeorge E. Thomas, generally are harder to create and therefore run longerâ€” from three to five months,Green said. Two major first floor exhibits have been "5,000 Years of Art," on loan from the MetropolitanMuseum of Art in New York City and "History of Commercial Fishing on North Puget Sound." The lattertraced fishing from traditional Indian to modern commercial methods. The newest historical exhibit wasopened during the building's 90th birthday party on Sept. 10. "Magic Boxesâ€”The Development ofHome Entertainment Machines" is a "historical look backward at music boxes, phonographs, radios and televisions," Green said. Contemporary home entertainment systems are included. The MuseumShop also is on OPENS IN SEPTEMBER AT SPECIALLY SELECTED THEATRES. Check newspapersfor theatres. the first floor where gifts, books and toys can be purchased. Up past the elaborately carved ,oak stairway is the spacious "Rotunda Room," which fills most of the second floor. The room serves as the main gallery with regular monthly concerts by the Bellingham Chamber Music Society. Otherperformnig arts acts have included ballet, one act plays, poetry readings and puppet shows. Three turn-of-the-century rooms can be found there also, which give visitors glimpses of Victorian-style living.Several permanent displays take up the museum's third story. Artifacts of the Northwest Coast Indianscan be seen, featuring woven baskets, stone and bone utensils. Here, too, the Green Gold HarvestExhibit demonstrates the history and development of local logging, utilizing artifacts, dioramas andpictures. Housed on this floor is an ornithological collection of more than 500 stuffed birds. Museumcollections include the extensive Wilbur Sandison and Darius Kinsey photographs, depicting early viewsof Whatcom County from 1890 to 1940. In addition, Indian artifacts, general history artifacts andcontemporary art objects are stored at the museum. Many organizations are affiliated with and usethe Whatcom Museum, such as the Audobon Society, bird watcher groups and garden clubs. Last year more than 12,000 school children from Skagit and Whatcom Counties passed through, listening to tourguide Richard Vanderway.
