ACADEMICS Bright students obtain benefits and adventure MOVIE Eddie Murphy fails flat; newest flic a flimsy pic OUTDOORS Sizzling Summer Settings The Western Front VOL. 80, NO. 39 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM, WA TUESDAY, JULY 19,1988 Political savvy seminar's goal By Wendy Sawyer staff reporter Teachers, administrators and librarians from around Washington state converged on Western last week to develop more enthusiasm for the American political system. The seminar, sponsored by the Taft Institute for Two-party Government, gave these 26 educators a chance to meet informally and discuss issues with people involved in politics. "We hope this seminar will give teachers a new enthusiasm for teaching politics and government and hope this enthusiasm will transfer to their students," said Taft Seminar Co-Director Donald Alper of the political science department. Eugene Hogan, also of the political science department, co-directs the event with Alper. The Taft Seminar will give these educators, mostly high school social studies teachers, the opportunity to exchange ideas with 61 speakers involved in the political process, Alper said. This includes elected officials, practicing politicians, media representatives and those involved in the state justice system. The first week of the seminar focused on the Constitution and the two-party system. This week's topic covers two-party politics in a presidential yean Describing the seminar as an intensive two-week class, Alper hopes these educators will gain a better understanding of our two-party system and will be encouraged to actively participate in government. Alper said he believes the Taft Institute Las recognized the apathy among Americans concerning politics and stressed participation in government to make the system work. "If people aren't interested in government, we can't sustain the democratic system," he said. Tonight's featured speaker will be former British Columbia Premier, David Barrett, who served from 1972 through 1975. Alper said Barrett should provide an interesting perspective on the U.S. two-party system from a Canadian point of view. Barrett is currently running for a position in the Canadian Parliament, Alper said. AlycieiryarT Industrial technology major Mike Gunderson enjoys some of the summer weather as he studies in front of Wilson Library. The forecast calls for continued sunny days the rest of the week. Other speaker:1 at the two-week semirar include U.S. Representative Rod Chandler, Associate Justice James Dolliver of the Washington State Suprerr.s Court and Washington State Attorney General Ken Eikenberry. Representatives of Slade Gorton's U.S. Senate campaign and the "Lowry for U.S. Senate" campaign will also speak at the seminar. Local area speakers include Bellingham Mayor Tim Douglas, Bellingham Herald Managing Editor Jack Keith, State Senator Pat McMullen, and State Representatives Harriet Spanel and Dennis Braddock. Western grad suspect in Maine slaying By Thomas M. Davis staff reporter A former Western student was charged last week in Maine with the murder of a 12-year-old babysitter. Dennis Dechaine, 30, graduated from Western in June 1983, with an undergraduate degree in French. He was originally from Maine and was only in Bellingham from 1979 until 1983. He reportedly returned to Maine after leaving Western. Dechaine and his wife ran a farm in Bowdoinham, a town of approximately 4,000, near Portland. The body of the victim, Sarah Cherry, was found in a wooded area 3 1/2 miles from the home where she had been babysitting. A coroner's report concluded the girl died of strangulation. Neighbors reported seeing a truck in the driveway of the home where the girl was babysitting the afternoon she disappeared. Later that day, police found Dechaine's truck, which matched the neighbor's description, parked near where the body was found. Dechaine was arrested the same day. Last week, the Bellingham Herald and several Seattle radio stations reported police investigators from Maine had contacted King County police to determine if there was a link between Dechaine and the Green River killings. King County Police spokesman Dick Larson said the Maine investigators were simply following good police procedure in contacting the Green River Task Force. But Larson said there was no con-nection between the two cases. "The person we're looking for doesn't go around killing 12-year-old babysitters," he said. Larson also believed the local media read too much into the Maine authorities' efforts to contact King County police. "The person we're looking for doesn't go around killing 12- year-old babysitters. " - King County police spokesman Dick Larson The important angle was missed, he said. This was the first time the Task Force has been contacted by police in Maine concerning the Green River case, Larson said. He also added Dechaine's time in Bellingham didn't match the time frame of the Green River killings. The man police are looking for operated mainly in the south Seattle area from 1982 to 1984. Dechaine is known to have left the area in 1983. The task force has linked forty known deaths of women to the Green River killer, along with the disappearance of eight others. Most had connections with prostitution. Dechaine was transferred last Tuesday from the Lincoln County Jail in Wiscasset to the jnaximum-security Maine State Prison. He is being held without bail and will remain there until his trial. A spokesman for the Portland (Maine) Press Herald said Dechaine was moved to the state prison for his own safety and for that of the community. "Most jails in the small towns around here leave a lot to be desired," he said.. "Escapes are frequent." Authorities in Maine haven't indicated whether a motive has been determined in the case. lacked finances the time, were at least moderately satisfied with the cent of the 1987'seniors didn't start their college dents transferred from a Washington community penses, the jnajority; of the senior class worked at which parents are financing their children's educa- IIRB^MiMiliiiMiiiBi|pili:^i severe shortage of money.
