WESTERN FRONT FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1985 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM, WA VOL. 77, NO. 29 Voters say 'yes' but... Referendums need final confirmation By Christine Valdez Although they said "yes" to installment tuition payments and paying with credit cards, before the students get these options a final affirmative is needed from the Board of Trustees. This also goes for the official seal being changed from George An overwhelming 87 percent of the voters said they want the option to pay their tuition in installments. Before the students even considered the referendum, the Legislature had adopted a bill allowing students the same thing, said AS President for External Affairs Jeff Doyle. Western Controller Don Sturgill said the bill was not put tuition over July, August and September. Winter and spring quarter tuitions would have to be paid during the preceding quarters. Assistant Attorney General Wendy Bohlke said paying the installments for tuition during the same quarter is illegal because "theoretically, you're receiving something before you pay for it." bill honoring credit cards issued by any bank in Washington. The problem is, Bohlke said, Western can't pay the surcharge if a bank requires it for servicing the credit card receipts, and Western can't charge the students the extra percentage, she said, "The trick is to not require the state to pay for the student," Bohlke said.

The Legislature also passed a Vice President Don Cole said the only way he could see the credit-card plan being started would be if the Legislature passed a constitutional amendment allowing Western to pay the surcharge. He said both the tuition-installment and credit-card plans would be expensive for Western because of the increased bookkeeping. Changing the official seal will require approval by the Board of Trustees. Jan Vickery said she will distribute a questionnaire to' the faculty and administration to get their opinion whether to change to the Old Main seal. "If we bring 94 percent of the faculty like the 94 percent of the students who voted for it (the referendum) and say, 'see, this is what they want,' they should be responsive," Vickery said. The decision whether to name "Louie, Louie" the official school song also may rest on the trustees. Board of Trustees member Craig Cole said that, to him, the students already made the decision. "I congratulate the students on their wise decision," Cole said. He actively advocated making "Louie, Louie" the state song. AS adviser Jack Smith said the AS board could declare the song the AS school song. The trustees or Western President G. Robert Ross would have to name the song the official school song, however. Asked if he would push the referendum to the trustees next year, AS President-Elect Jeff Doyle said, "If there were people that wanted us (the AS) to, I think we would." Senate approves Fairhaven plan By Elizabeth Parker In a close vote Monday, the Faculty Senate recommended approval of the University Planning Council's proposed three-year contingency plan that would eliminate Fairhaven College in event of a $1.5 million budget cut. "It seems like cutting Fairhaven certainly brings out the full house," Senator Rand Jack of Fairhaven said to the crowded room of senators and spectators. The vote to approve the contingency plan passed 15-10, with five senators abstaining. The senate's recommendation now goes to Vice President for Academic Affairs Paul Ford for approval. He must present any objections he has in writing to the Faculty Senate which must negotiate the differences before Ford can recommend approval. "1 want to study it. I don't plan to do anything yet," Ford said. "It's a serious matter and it deserves some attention." Western President G. Robert Ross then will make a recommendation and send it to the Board of Trustees for approval. "I haven't given it (the contingency plan) much thought. There's really no compelling reason to. This is something the Faculty Senate and Planning Council are required to do each year," Ross said. "My position is well known. I told the Front two years ago I didn't come here to take action to eliminate Fairhaven." Jack asked Planning Council member Erwin Mayer, who helped draft the contingency plan, whether other programs within the university had been considered for cuts. Mayer said the council did not want to begin suggesting cuts below the college level. "It runs contrary to our objective (to suggest such cuts)," Mayer said. Jack asked Mayer if the council was aware that other' areas were less cost-effective than Fairhaven. Mayer said he was aware that other colleges were less affected, by the plan. "We didn't discuss other programs, but we did discuss the number of faculty each had available," Mayer said. Senator Robert Thorndike of the psychology department said he was concerned about educa- • See SENATE, p. 12 Board approves budget. . . Films funded, recycling not By Karen Jenkins On-camp-us movie-goers may be offered fewer movies or charged higher prices next year, even though the Associated Students will subsidize the films for the first time. Wednesday, the AS Board of directors approved next year's budget, including $1,000 for the Program Commission film series. The AS decided to begin subsidizing the series because it has been running a deficit in previous years. PC Coordinator Shannon Wilcox told the board the $ 1,000 may not be enough for the PC to continue offering its current level of service. "We're looking at big problems right here, and $1,000 isn't going to take them very far," Wilcox said. Wilcox and members of the board discussed options, such as raising the price of the movies or offering them only twice a week. AS board member George Sidles said the-board should not discuss how the PC will solve its budgeting problems. "I don't want to be giving programming suggestions to people we pay to do the programming," Sidles said. The board also voted to take $5,000 originally budgeted for the Recycling Center and put it into a discretionary account, where the board puts its unbud-geted money. The Recycling Center Task Force has been talking with the administration about the possibility of it taking over funding for the center. If the administration decides not to fund the center, the money can be taken out of the discretionary account to pay for it. Also at the meeting, Vice President for Student Affairs Joan Sherwood announced that summer quarter students will pay a health services fee, for the first time, this year. The fee will be $6," the same amount students pay per quarter during the academic school year. Sherwood said the fee will reduce the service's $38,000 deficit by about"$ 12,000. She said the fee is fair since currently "the students in the academic year are subsidizing the students who are here for the summer, and I've never felt that was right." AS Board Member Terri Echelbarger objected to the fee being decided on without consulting students. "It really disturbs me now that we have a health service that is completely funded by students and the students have no say in how it is run. "We're paying for it and you're deciding, and that really disturbs me," she added. In other AS business, the board voted to recommend establishing a polling place on campus for general elections. Ryherd will begin working with Whatcom County Deputy Auditor Pete Griffith on bringing a polling place to Western. §f§|j|i;^
