The Western Front VOL. 80, NO. 54 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM, WA TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8,1988 By Don Hunger of The Western Front Agriculture degree may save Outback and determine graduate opportunities. If these academic programs can be developed, then the committee should decide how the Outback and other university land can be used, Miles said. Fairhaven students involved with the Outback program protested removal of the composting toilet because it has a permit from the Whatcom County Health Department and see OUTBACK p. 12 Coupon book earns $12,000 for AS fund By Erika Williams of The Western Front A committee formed to examine the future of Fairhaven College's Outback Farm has begun work To design a degree in agriculture, using the Outback as a learning tool and possibly saving it from destruction. The organic garden, orchard and related structures of the farm are under current revision and assessment by two campus organizations. The office of Academic Affairs and a joint Fairhaven-Huxley Sustainable Agriculture Committee are working to balance use of the property with conflicting demands. The Outback will remain "as is for the foreseeable future," with ho' further construction or destruction of facilities, said Sam Kelly, vice president for Academic Affairs. Physical Plant crews Oct 25 began "risk management" procedures at the Outback. They dismantled the composting toilet, sauna and hot tub and secured the cabins from future habitation, Kelly said. The work was requested by Kelly, Assistant Attorney General Wendy Bohlke and Vice President of Business and Finance Peter Harris, Kelly said. The two wooden cabins, built in the 1920s, were closed to residents last month. The committee was formed at the requests of Fairhaven Dean Dan Larner and Huxley Dean John Miles to evaluate the potential of an academic program in "sustainable and ecological agriculture and appropriate technology," Larner said. Faculty members Gary Bornzin of Fairhaven and Ernst Gayden Huxley head the committee, which also consists of students from the colleges, he said. Miles said the committee must outline a program of worthy and viable options during the remaining weeks of the quarter. It must design a curriculum and field lab, assess student interest, contact potential professors ffl»9 Blue Bonus Book Delegates learn about democracy By Doree Armstrong of The Western Front Four delegates from Central America took a whirlwind trip through Bellingham to learn how democracy works in the United States. They spoke through interpreters to a group of citizens and students at a dinner and open forum at Western Friday. Ricardo Gonzalez Vargas, editorial section editor of the Costa Rican La Prensa Libre, said the group was pleased for the opportunity to learn about the U.S. election process and to get to know the American people. "We didn't come here to represent any government," he stressed. "We've really had the chance to appreciate that you here have the opportunity to say what you believe, when you want, (and) to whom you want," Vargas said. "This is really what we would like to be able to do ourselves in our countries and we hope that it won't be too long before that will be the case." Other delegates were: Miguel Angel Montepeque, Guatemalan congressman, surgeon and member of the Solidarity Action Movement; Walter Reinery Castellanos Sauceda, an assistant of the Honduran Consejo Municipal Districto Central (Council for Better City Government); and Tomas Arita Valle, aide to Carlos Flores, the Honduran Liberal party presidential candidate. The group came to Bellingham as part of the International Visitor Program of the U.S. Information Agency. George Drake, Western's assistant to the president for international programs, said the four were invited to the United States to be shown U.S. electoral processes at work. He said Bellingham was chosen as a way to show them "democracy in small-town America." All of the delegates repeatedly thanked Drake, members of the community and U.S. citizens for making their visit possible. They spent the week finding out how the initiative and referendum processes work, how taxes are levied, had lunch with members of political and protest groups and attended a public debate by candidates running for the state Legislature. They will spend the next two ~~ see SPEAKERS p. 3 The Big Blue Bonus Book, the coupon book by the Associated Students, is on stable ground despite rumors to the contrary, said bonus book organizer Brian Prosser. A b o u t $12,000 was | ^@i earned from the first publication, Prosser said. Of that amount, about $4,000 was used for printing and other expenses. Prosser believes that figure will eventually be reduced. The Bonus Book is a fund-raising project published by the AS to create money for student scholarships. Prosser said he has received calls from about 20 Bellingham businesses who thought it might be discontinued. Confusion began when former AS board member John Gray, a former employee of the Bonus Book, contacted businesses about advertising in "The Student Survival Kit," a similar coupon book that he now promotes. He said the businesses asked him questions he could not answer about the Bonus Book's future. He advised them to call the AS. "I just told them that I no longer worked (with the Bonus Book), so I couldn't answer any questions," Gray said. Prosser said the rumors won' t hurt the book in the long run. "We've worked everything out," he said. AS President Tammy Fleming said the bonus book originally was started by Prosser and Gray, who presented the idea to the AS Board last spring. It was approved with the stipulation that it be reviewed quarterly. Advertising was gathered over the summer and the first edition was published in the fall. Each student who bought books in the Co-op received a copy of the book. see COUPON p. 2
