Fight for
falls on
Western
Western will have to fight for
itself in its battle to get as many
state dollars per student as the
state's other regional universities.
The Washington Student
Lobby decided last Sunday in
Ellensburg not to list equitable
funding for the regionals among
the top priorities it will lobby for
when the Legislature opens ses­sion
Jan. 14.
Western currently receives
$513 less per student each year
than either Central or Eastern
Washington universities.

to-*h<*^S*Bt*a^^
Wood, who represented West­ern
in Ellensburg along with
local WSL Chairman Dean
Bushue. said he was"'"disap­pointed
at'.the lack of attention
the equitable funding issue was"
getting.
While the equitable funding
issue will not be among WSL's
top priorities, it was listed, along
with faculty salaryincrease;s,-as a
lower category of priority.
"They're calling it it a priority
issue." Wood said, "But they're
not giving it the same weight
they're giving their other
priorities."
: According to WSL's legisla­tive
agenda for 1987, the group
will lead the lobbying effort on
behalf of six top legislative prior­ities,
but other groups are
expected to lead the effort for the
lower set of priorities.
Council plans to fix hazards
By Brian Bean
A state law adopted more than two years
ago has forced university officials
recently to form a committee to examine
hazardous materials on Western's campus.
The University Hazardous Materials
Advisory Committee, appointed by Vice
President for Academic Affairs Paul Ford
and Vice President for Business and Finan­cial
Affairs Don Cole, is scheduled to meet
for the first time next Monday.
The committee will discuss preliminary
plans to tackle hazardous materials on cam­pus,
said George Gerhold, committee chair
and associate dean of the College of Arts and
Sciences.. •.
During the meeting. University Safety
Officer Jose Harrison will present to the
eight-member committee, a slide presenta­tion
explaining the hazardous material prob­lems
on campus and offering solutions, Har­rison
said.
After the committee identifies the prob­lems
on campus and offers suggestions, a
budget will be requested, Harrison said.
Budget monies could come from a variety of
sources, including the safety budget, the
physical plant budget and the capital budget.
The committee will focus on three primary
areas: short-term goals such as posting safety
instructions on hazardous chemicals, work­ing
together with the campus Radiation
Safety Committee and long-term goals such
as adopting new policies and plans for the
handling of hazardous materials on campus,
Gerhold said.
The committee will meet once per month
to discuss the problems on campus and make
recommendations to Cole and Ford, Harri­son
said.
"The committee will meet once a month
until (the university) is in total compliance

Hall of Fame recognition stuns coach
By David Cuillier
Western women's basketball Coach
Lynda Goodrich said she was stunned
by the announcement this week that she
had been named to the National Associa­tion
of Intercollegiate Athletics Hall of
Fame.
Goodrich's next reaction to winning the
NAIA's highest honor was: "Now do I
have to retire?"
She said she won't retire, but will try to
continue her 15-year, 76.6 percent win­ning
record.
At 42, Goodrich is younger than most
Hall of Fame coaches. Women's team
coaches have to coach 15 years before
being eligible. Men's team coaches must
have 25 years experience.
"It's special to me because I'm so
young," Goodrich said.
Goodrich will be inducted into the Hall
of Fame,in an official ceremony March
17, in Kansas City, Mo. She will join four
other Western coaches in the Hall of
Fame, including Chuck Randall, former
men's basketball coach, who was honored
last year.
Now in her 16th coaching season,
Goodrich ranks tenth nationally among
active women's collegiate coaches for her
317 career wins.
Last year, Goodrich's team qualified
for the NAIA national quarterfinals.
Goodrich coached four teams to the
national tournament. She has never had a
losing record.
Goodrich's teams have reached post­season
play 14 times and tallied ten 20-win
campaigns. She also was one of 20 final­ists
for National Division II Coach of the
Year honors in 1981 and 1982.
"I share the honor with all my past
players, friends and coaches," Goodrich
said. "It's an honor for them with my
name on it."
Paul Madison, director of the sports
information office, said he filled out
Goodrich's application and sent it to the
d i s t r i c t office with letters of
recommendation.
The district, one of 32 in the nation,
screened applicants for the national
office. Goodrich's application was chosen
by the NAIA Hall of Fame committee.
"The criteria is pretty stiff," Madison
said. "It's not something you do all the
time."
Although Goodrich is pleased with the
honor, she said: "The most important
thing is to win (tonight's) game and a
national championship."
Other Western coaches named to the
Hall of Fame were Sam Carver, coach and
athletic director in 1957; Charles Lapen-busch,
coach and athletic director in 1961;
and Herbert Hearsey, faculty athletic
representative in 1975.
with state regulations," Harrison said.
"It is my goal that there should definitely
be a class (to teach) the inherent hazards of
chemicals," Harrison said.
"We will act on the severity of the prob­lem,"
Harrison said. "If it is life-threatening,
we will obviously act right away."
A 1984 state "Right to Know" law only
mandates that employers and employees be
informed about the dangers of hazardous
chemicals and other hazardous materials,
Harrison said. But the committee also
intends to provide students with that
information.
In addition to Gerhold and Harrison,
other committee members are: Bill Wilson of
the chemistry department: Peter Harris of
the Physical Plant;-Gcne Vike. chairman of
the art department: Clyde Senger of the biol­ogy
department: Richard Mayer of Huxley
College; and Ruth Schoonover. chemical
stockroom manager.

Playboy rating ,
amuses college
By Juiie McGaHiard
staff reporter
The January 1987 issue of Playboy
magazine listed Fairhaven College as one
of the top 40 "party" universities in the
nation.
That's right. Fairhaven College.
"It's caused gales of laughter around
here and it's been causing it all week." Dan
I.arner. dean of Fairhaven College, said
about the school's selection.
The Playboy article, written by Wayne
Duvall. placed Fairhaven last of the 40
universities. The school ranked number
one is California State University in
Chico. Reed College in Oregon, which
ranked 39. is the only other Northwest
school to make the list.
The Playboy article mentioned nothing
about Western as a party school and did
not mention Fairhaven College is part of
Western.
Stephanie Halliday, a Fairhaven stu­dent,
said Duvall may have been made
aware of Fairhaven's existence by her sis­ter
Phyllis, who works as an assistant to
Playboy's fiction editor.
Halliday said Duvall called her one
morning several months ago when she
"wasn't in the mood for an interview"and
asked questions about Fairhaven. She
gave him the names of some other Fair­haven
students, but said nothing she told
him should have given the impression
Fairhaven was a "party" school.
Duvall also called George Sidles, a
Fairhaven student who at the time was
Associated Students vice president for
internal affairs.
"He asked me if there were a lot of wild
goings-on," Sidles said.
"I told him we have a lot of undiscos
and potlucks."
Sidles also invited him to Fairhaven's
graduation cocktail party, but Duvall
didn't come.
Fairhaven College has about 220 stu­dents,
many of whom are older and have
