The Western Front VOL. 80, NO. 50 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM, WA TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25,1988 Two arrested in double murder Victims gunned down in High Street house By Laura Gordon and Kathy Tucker of The Western Front Two Bellingham men were arrested Sunday in connection with the early Saturday morning shooting death of Western student Patrick J. Fuquay and Bellingham resident Dan W. Lane over an alleged drug deal. Clifford Cooper, 20, 4102 Dewey Rd., and Velard "Joe" Saselli, 26, 1610 Alabama St., appeared in Whatcom County Superior Court Monday for a bail hearing. The bodies of Fuquay, 20, 208 Flora St., and Lane, 28,907 1/2 High St., were found by a friend in Lane's two-room house. Both men died of multiple gunshot wounds, Bellingham' Police Detective David McNeill said. Also killed was Lane's pit bull, "Scooter." Cooper is expected to be charged today with two counts of first-degree, aggravated murder. He is being held without bail in Whatcom County Jail. The maximum penalty for aggravated murder is life imprisonment or the death penalty. Saselli is expected to be charged with criminal assistance in the first degree for allegedly furnishing Cooper with transportation and clean clothes after Cooper's clothing was apparently bloodied after the shooting. His bail was set at $10,000. The maximum sentence would be six months to a year in jail. He has no past criminal record. The victims attended a party Friday night at a home on Jersey Street and left for Lane's house between midnight and 1 a.m. Michael Gadwell, a friend of Fuquay who also attended the party, said he did not think the victims had any enemies. Gadwell said the men had been drinking, but were not drunk and had not been involved in any fights or arguments. Neighbors reported hearing a firecracker-like noise shortly after 1:15 a.m. see SUSPECTS p. 12 Jesse Tinsley/the front Two Bellingham residents, including a Western student, were shot in this house obscured from the roadside at 907 High St. Friends remember slain student By Kathy Tucker and Laura Gordon of The Western Front Pat Fuquay's friends said he was a giving person. "He was extremely generous, always taking people out to dinner. He'd give you anything," said Michael Gadwell, a close friend of Fuquay. Twenty-year-old Fuquay, a Western student, was shot to death early Saturday morning, in an allegedly drug-related incident. Fuquay, Bellingham resident Dan Lane and a pit bull dog were found dead in Lane's High Street house. Two Bellingham men have been arrested in connection with the incident. Fuquay's roommate, PatFuquay who wished to remain anonymous, also noted Pat's generosity. "He's one of the most generous people that I have ever known," she said. She and Fuquay were "pretty close" friends and had been sharing an apartment on Flora Street since September, she said. "He was such a great guy," she said. Fuquay had been a student at Western for two years. Friends said Fuquay, a junior, hadn't declared his major yet, but he was leaning see SLAIN p. 3 Union rallies for campus police commissioning By Luis Cabrera of The Western Front Lt. Chuck Page Speakers at a rally Friday in Viking Union Plaza denounced a decision to decommission the campus security force and called for restoration of all police authority to the force. "They (Western's Board of Trustees members) made a very serious mistake when they decommissioned your campus police force," said Mark Brown, deputy director of the Washington Federation of State Employees. "They have locked themselves in an ivory tower and ignored everyday realities," he said. About 200 people attended the 45-minute rally sponsored by the state employee's union. The issue arose when security petitioned to carry arms last spring. The board denied the request, then chose to decommission the 11-officer force, which rendered them unable to arrest or take other official action. "At this time there are fully trained university police officers under orders not to help you if you are being assaulted, raped or otherwise victimized. They may be disciplined or fired if they do. All they can do is call Bellingham police for help," according to a paper distributed at the rally by union representative of Local 1381, which represents security and other campus workers. "We just want you to have the best protection available," Lt. Chuck Page of campus security told students. "Guns will be on campus. The question is, who will carry them? We have-the experience, the expertise and the sensitivity to serve our campus." Page told other union members the issue is "a wolf in sheep's clothing. It can affect the jobs of state employees all over Washington." Page said legislators will introduce a bill in 1989 that would clear the way for universities and other institutions to contract with local law enforcement agencies for protection. Western has tried to contract with Bellingham Police, but so far has run into legal roadblocks. The governor-appointed Higher Education Personnel Board declared the contract illegal, and that decision was upheld in Thurston County Superior Court in Olympia. The greivances will go before a hearing examiner appointed by the personnel board on Oct. 28, said Tim Welch, communications coordinator for the union in Olympia. The case will be decided in a trial scheduled for Dec. 1 in Thurston County. "With the campus police, we had a lot shorter response time and a lot more personal service," junior Ken Duncan said. He commended the response by campus security members when his vehicle was broken into last year. Duncan said the main problem security had in petitioning for weapons was student ignorance of the training the campus force receives, which is identical to that of city police. see PROTESTS p. 3
