Officers gave nine $47 citations for moving violations between 8:15 and 8:45 p.m. when drivers entered the campus, ignoring chained gates and "do not enter" signs. Three cars were dispatched but only two issued tickets near Wilson Library and the Viking Union. Despite the flash of patrol car lights, motorists continued to drive through the campus's main thoroughfare. "It's my guess that the students think there is not as much enforcement by the Bellingham police," campus security officer John Browne said. "When we were commissioned officers there were at least two men patrolling most nights and we could include more traffic enforcement. We usually handed out one or two tickets a week," he said. Browne ticketed several parked cars with $10 city and campus parking fines, some of which were parked without permits in the lot by Haggard Hall. The section of High Street is closed from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday, but Browne said more people have been ignoring the closed signs. Western student Wayne Rose-berry said he supports upgraded traffic enforcement. "lithe police are bold and direct about everything then the policies are clear," he said. "Before, nothing was done about it so people ignored the signs." A group of students in Wilson Library said police acted justly in the ticket sweep but disagreed with the 9 p.m. closure policy. One student who suggested the street only be closed during working hours from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. said, "Classes are out then and there shouldn't be any problems." Former student Kent Jepson, who twice received tickets of $47 while at Western, said the street should be closed at 7 p.m. after dinner hours. 'It's a good decision to charge a student who tries to go through the road, but I think the $47 fine is way too much," he said. "They have to remember they're dealing with kids on a college budget." The standard ticket for any moving violation is $47, but Jepson said they should make an exception to the standard on campus. He suggested officers give warnings to first-time offenders. Browne said students who receive moving violation tickets have the option of appealing in court. "There is nothing they can do about the parking tickets, but the courts will very often lower the traffic tickets," he said. Students grill Mortimer at fireside chat Parking, security key issues for Birnam Wood residents By Gretchen Hafterson of The Western Front Parking and campus security were among the top issues raised by Birnam Wood residents Tuesday night as they spoke with Western President Kenneth Mortimer. Residents had the chance to meet informally with Mortimer, who said he didn't have a prepared speech and he would talk about anything they wanted. He began by saying he wouldn't dodge any questions. "If I'm not smart enough to avoid answering questions I don't want to, I shouldn't have this job," Mortimer said. For about an hour, Mortimer tried to address student concerns, although he admitted he didn't have an answer for every problem. Parking was a top issue on students' minds, but Mortimer warned the residents that a quick solution may not be the best solution. "Every time you look at parking, you raise the rates," he said. He asked for suggestions on the parking problem from the students, but opposed the idea of a multi-level garage next to Parks Hall because he feels recreational and green space is more important. Not granting permits to freshmen was another option. "We really ought to look at who should have cars," Mortimer said. "What do you care? There aren't any freshmen here," Campus security apparently was an uncomfortable issue for Mortimer. He said the decision to decommission the police force was already made when he took office, so he will stand by the Board of Trustees' decision. see PRESIDENT, p. 3 Western President Kenneth Mortimer chatted with Birnam Wood residents Tuesd) Jaeys:s e Tlnsley/tneprom
