100 protest U.S.'s Nicaraguan policy
DANA GRANT
Western students Anne Black and Lisa Link display their opinions
on the U.S. embargo of Nicaragua.
By Tom Yearian
Six people protesting official
U.S. policies toward Nicaragua
were arrested Thursday after
refusing to leave the post office in
the Bellingham Federal
Building.
About 100 other people, singing,
chanting and waving signs,
demonstrated their support for
the protesters in a two-hour rally
in front of the building.
Jeff Robinson, a Western student
and one of those arrested,
said the six wanted to publicize
their opposition to possible U.S.
military intervention in Central
America.
Robinson said they are
members of the Bellingham
Pledge of Resistance, part of a
nationwide campaign of people
who have pledged to participate
in acts of civil disobedience if the
United States invades Nicaragua.
Seventy-five people in Whatcom
County 'have signed the

A complaint filed by former
presidential candidate John
Warnick, about Associated Students
President-Elect Jeff
Doyle's campaign expenditures,
has been appealed to the AS
Board.
Warnick contends Doyle
spent $40 more than the $60 limit
when he, Doyle and John Janke
were campaigning for AS
president.
' He lodged the complaint after
he saw Doyle's financial statement
did not include a receipt for
some blue leaflets that had been
distributed for him, Warnick
said.
Director-at-large for Communications
Dana Grant said he
had printed the leaflets, paying
for them himself without Doyle's
knowledge of them. AS President
Majken Ryherd, Doyle's
pledge, he said.
Directors of the national
Pledge of Resistance have not
called for illegal protests yet, said
Lisa Neulicht, another of the
arrested protesters.
But, Neulicht said, she and the
others think the national organizers
are moving too slowly.
"If we wait for an invasion, it
will be too late," she said.
The six protesters entered the
post office at 4:15 p.m. and
began distributing leaflets to
post-office customers.
Bellingham Postmaster John
Brandt told them they were disturbing
customers and asked
them to leave.
The protesters refused.
Brandt asked them if they
would leave when the office
closed at 5 p.m.
They said no.
At 5 p.m. Bellingham police
officers handcuffed the protesters,
carried them from the building
and took them to the city
police station where they were
campaign manager, helped
Grant distribute the leaflets the
next day.
The leaflets were printed to
refute a rumor that Doyle was
against all athletics and wanted
to cut all funding to that area.
"1 thought maybe I could do
something as an individual
because I thought he (Doyle) was
the best qualified candidate,"
Grant said.
According to the campaigning
oode, all candidates must claim,
as their campaign expenses, any
expenses initiated, authorized or
consented to by the candidate.
Election Board Chairwoman
Teri Johnson decided Grant "did
it on his own accord. Jeff didn't
consent to it and didn't authorize
it."
Warnick said he is appealing
the decision to the AS Board
because, "The rule was broken
when they went out and bought
charged with criminal trespassing
and then released.
A hearing is scheduled for 9
a.m. Friday, May 24, in the
Whatcom County District
Court.
One of the protesters said he
was hurt while being moved by
police.
Scott Renfro said he was
dropped on his head and banged
against a door and a radiator.
Renfro, who said he has been
arrested eight times for civil disobedience,
said it was only the
second time he has been hurt.
"I'm not just a bag of garbage,"
he said. "I'd be more than
happy to give them a lesson on
how two people can carry one
person without hurting him."
Renfro said he may complain
about the treatment at the court
hearing.
Bellingham Police Captain
Duane Schenck said he was not
aware of anyone being hurt dur-

those things, knowing they
would be going over the limit."
He said the rules about donations
need to be worded better.
Doyle, who spent $59.96 on
his campaign, said he first saw
the leaflets around noon May 8,
the day after they were printed.
At that time, Doyle said Ryherd
would not tell him who printed
the leaflets. Doyle said he was
told who printed the leaflets after
the election.
Grant said, "I didn't want to
add to the election nerves, and I
didn't want to get him in
trouble."
Doyle said a "gray area in the
rules" exists that past election
boards have tried unsuccessfully
to fix. He added he didn't think
the leaflets should be included as
part of his expenditures, especially
since Grant printed the leaf-

The federal agents told them
they could remain in the hall as

Lourie said.
Lourie said the federal agents
wouldn't let them use the res-trbom,
however, and told them
they would not be given any food
