AS BOARD MEETlW(raf4]SH; today in VU 408 to put health service fee increase proposal on student ballot. FLAMING LIPS New band blows into town tonight page 5 The Western Front —rii 1 Business accreditation put on hold By Shanna Gowenlock staff reporter Western's College of Business and Economics didn't pass its first shot at national accreditation this year, but it didn't quite flunk, either. Instead, the 13-year-old college's bid for the accrediting organization's blessing was "put on hold," said Roland DeLorme, assistant vice president for Academic Affairs 'In summary, they were generally impressed with the CBE but did point out several areas where they felt there were various needs that needed to be addressed," DeLorme said. DeLorme said the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business turned down the Western school because of concerns that its faculty is understaffed and in need of more research and growth opportunities. Chairman of the finance, marketing and decision sciences department, Earl Benson, said the AACBS wants the business college to fill, or demonstrate its intention to fill, its six to seven vacant faculty posts. Benson, who helped write the college's extensive self-study submitted to the AACSB last June, also said faculty members at Western face stiff competition for scarce research dollars. "Western's support in general of faculty is not anywhere near what it would be at a major university, but Western has been making some fairly good advances in support of faculty. "In terms of teaching and research, AACSB's main interest is that faculty is alive and well, and making contributions in their field, so they can be good contributors in the classrooms as well," Benson said. According to the 300-page self-study, 17 business and economics college faculty members received either sabbatical leave, summer research grants, academic year research grants, faculty developmental grants or participated in foreign exchange programs from June 1987 to June 1988. Currently the school has a 38- member faculty. Benson said with accreditation comes a desirable reputation —? both for the school and for its graduating students. "Some employers refuse to interview students from a non-accredited school. I've spoken with several graduates in the past who were unable to get interviews for this reason," he said. He said Western also could lure more talented students and faculty to an accredited business school. See CBE on page 3 Programs scramble for piece of S&A pie By Angela Reed staff reporter An increase of $149,200 in Service and Activities fees has split student- funded departments, each vying for its share of the money. Students will have the chance to defend their programs in a public forum at 4 p.m. Monday in the Viking Union Lounge. Each student currently pays $75.50 per quarter for S&A fees from his or her tuition. The S&A Fee Split Committee voted April 10 to increase student contributions to $81.50 starting next fall. Departmentally Related Activities (DRAC), Housing and Dining and the Associated Students have proposed separate budgets on how to split the increase, each of which favors their department. DRAC currently receives 27 percent of the total S&A budget, while AS gets 32 percent and H&D gets 40.9 percent. Lynda Goodrich, Western's athletic director, said the S&A budget should be equally split. "We (DRAC) are operating on a budget that's about 10 years old," Goodrich said. Only in the last two years has DRAC done a thorough budget review, she said. "Our requests are in no way padded — we use this process to indicate our needs." DRAC, which funds intramurals, club sports, athletics, publications, music and other extracurricular activities, submitted a proposal requesting a majority of the increase. Its proposal would allot $128,150 to DRAC, $20,750 for AS. Housing and Dining would not receive an increase. DRAC needs money for men's and women's tennis, new music equipment, club sports and other areas, Goodrich said. AS funds programs such as the Lakewood recreation area, daycare, Human Resource Programs, AS productions and student clubs, and employs 125 students. Their proposed budget would allot $54,046 to AS, $50,573 to Housing and Dining and $45,581 to DRAC. AS wants the money for an Ethnic Student Center, as well as to help cover increasing minimum wage costs. See Fee on page 3 food for all J.

Thoelke is a presidential candidate in the upcoming AS election. The charge resulted from a Feb. 20 report of a vandalized telephone booth in the 1100 block of North State Street, according to court records. Bellingham police officers stopped Thoelke on that block, found a telephone receiver in his coat and arrested him. He was also charged with minor in possession of alcohol, which was later dropped. Thoelke plead guilty. He was given a $200 fine and a.one-year suspended sentence, during which a violation could send him to jail. Presiding Judge David Ray also ordered him to pay- $75 for his court-appointed lawyer. Thoelke's record will be cleared in one year if he is not conThoelke victed of another See Thoelke on page 2
