NEW RECRUITS Coach searches for next year's talent page9 FRIDAY WEATHER: Ocassional rain Saturday, decreasing Sunday. Highs in the 50s and lows in the 40s. REGGAE DANCEHALL NIGHT: 9 p.m. Saturday intheVU Lounge. $1 students, $2.50 nonstudents. SWEET DREAMS Sleeping disorders can be a nightmare page 5 The Western Front Commuters could win parking priority ByGailSkurla staff reporter Western's parking system will undergo a face-lift next fall if changes recommended by the Parking Advisory Committee are approved. First priority will be given to out-of-town commuters for P-lot permits, and hall residents will be assigned C-lot permits according to class standing. Physically disabled students will be given first priority for both. Currently, the priority system is limited to the physically disabled. All other permits are obtained on a first-come, first-served basis. Three commuter P-zone areas (3P upper level, 20P and 26P south section) are to be converted to resident C-lots. The free parking lot, located at the comer of 21 st Street and Bill McDonald Parkway, will be incorporated into Western's parking system. This new PC-zone will be a combined commuter/resident lot. These proposals were presented by parking committee members and discussed with stu- Wallace dents at the campus parking forum Thursday afternoon in the Viking Union Lounge. "We cannot provide close and convenient parking for everyone. That's a reality we have to face," said parking office Director Anne Wallace. "Commuters have the greatest need." "(Hall) residents will be buying only C-lot permits (because) they are storing their cars on campus 24 hours a day," said Ernst Gay den, Huxley professor and committee member. "We are trying to discourage (first-year students) from bringing their cars, at least initially," he noted. "We cannot provide parking for 9,000 cars." Several hall residents disagreed, citing jobs and weekend trips home as realistic needs for transportation. Dillon Schneider, committee member and graduate student, said "You can go to the university and not have a car here," referring to non-commuting students. Every year, she said, more and more commuters are being displaced, Of the 2000 P-lot permits sold this year, Wallace said, one-third of those are used by students who live on campus. Hall residents occupy 70 percent of the north campus P-lot (near Higginson and Edens halls), she noted. Exam nonsense not permissible ByGailSkurla staff reporter Students "defying" the junior writing exam system, either by writing tirades against the test or not completing the test, will probably not be admitted into a writing proficiency course, said Richard Fonda, chairman of the Expository Writing Committee. The committee presented to the Academic Coordinating Commission (ACC) a new junior writing exam policy, which would prevent students who don't make a valid attempt to complete the exam from being allowed to take a writing intensive course. Undergraduate students must take the junior writing exam before being admitted into a writing proficiency course, which is a graduation requirement. With a few exceptions, most departments do not require students to pass the exam. The ACC, however, rejected the proposal "on the grounds that it is unenforceable," said Tom Downing, chairman of the ACC. '"No clear-cut way" exists to determine whether students failed purposely or not," Downing said. "It would just cause more work and misery (for the Expository Writing Committee)." Three students who signed up for the junior writing exam during winter quarter either filled in all the "A" circles on the objective section and/ or wrote a diatribe instead of summarizing the essay as instructed, Fonda said. The proposed policy was designed to ensure students would make a reasonable attempt to complete the test, and the Expository Writing Committee believes it is enforceable, Fonda said. Letters were sent to the three students, informing them that "as far as we (the committee) are concerned, they have not completed the exam," Fonda said. At this point, one student has retaken the JWE, and one has See Exam on page 4 Waste policy dumped Western obeys federal laws By Jeremy Meyer staff reporter Western is in the process of changing its hazardous waste policy since the university was discovered last January to be burning toxic waste at Thermal Reduction Company (TRC) despite a warning. After a Department of Ecology (DOE) inspection in February, the state agency asked Western to comply with a federal t administrative code for small waste generators. The code requires the. university to ensure that waste containers are properly labelled and covered, and to notify the entire campus community that no hazardous wastes are disposed of improperly. Lawrence Ashley, DOE inspector, said Western is complying with the recommended changes. "We're working with the university to get it in compliance by June 30th," he said. He said the university will definitely not send anymore hazardous waste to TRC. "Right now there is nothing going out there and there will be nothing going out there aside from common trash,"Ashley said. Until now Western has been unregulated, newly-appointed hazardous waste coordinator, H. William Wilson, said. Wilson is constructing a program, under supervision from the DOE, which will put the university's hazardous waste disposal and handling in compliance with federal, state and local laws. Vice President of Academic Affairs Sam Kelly appointed Wilson, a chemistry professor and director of the university's instrument center, to monitor the campus' hazardous waste policy and build a long-term safety pro- See Toxic on page 4 ACC rejects plans for internship delays By Paul Mahlum staff reporter The Academic Coordinating Commission rejected a proposal on March 28 to allow undergraduate education students to graduate without completing their internship requirements. The proposal, submitted to the commission by the School of Education, would have made it easier for education majors to finish in four years, said Marie Eaton, associate dean of education. Education majors typically complete their B.A. in five years, said John Mason, director of Graduate Studies and member of the English department. Currently, students getting a bachelor of arts in education must complete an internship requirement before graduation. Students can petition the Teachers Curriculum Council to take the internship after graduation. According to the proposal, both secondary and elementary education students could take their internship after graduation. The internship, required for elementary and secondary education majors, consists of two quarters of student teaching. See ACC on page 4
