Businesses answer to yellowfin boycott By Ellis Baker staff reporter A successful on-campus boycott of yellowfin tuna encouraged a Western student to contact businesses off-campus and several are responding, said senior Cortlandt Fletcher. Haggen Foods is the first major grocery store to respond to Fletcher's request to boycott yellowfin tuna, although six stores were contacted, he said. Haggen's spokesperson Anita Wisman said that while the store probably won't remove yellowfin tuna from the shelves, it will address the issue. "I've outlined six or seven options that we have open ... I'm presenting those options to my boss," Wisman said. "I don't think that we can duck issues like this. I think that it's time to look at issues like pesticides and dolphins and meet them head on, while keeping in mind the needs of both the company and our customers." Fletcher, an environmental education major and director of the Regenerative Society, an Associated Students organization, said he has contacted grocery stores and restaurants, both large and small, to educate owners and managers about the yellowfin tuna issue. A national tuna boycott, sponsored by Earth Island, is in force because commercial tuna-fishing methods in tropical zones of the Pacific Ocean may kill as many as 115,000 dolphins a year, Fletcher said. Denise Ranney, owner of Around the Corner Cafe, said Fletcher contacted her about six weeks ago. She decided to buy a similarly priced alternative, but her supplier has had little success in finding one. "It's a goal of ours. We can get albacore [tuna] really easily, but that's about $20 a case more than yellowfin tuna and we just can't justify that expense, not with a $2.50 sandwich," Ranney said, adding that tuna sandwiches are the restaurant's best seller. see Tuna on page 12 Jugglers take center stage By Star Rush assistant news editor The Associated Students will stand on their heads to make a deal. Well, almost. In an attempt to attract students'attention to available AS jobs for next year, the AS hired jugglers to perform in front of their information table Tuesday in Red Square. Dressed in shorts and tie-dye T-shirts, The Needles performed various juggling feats. At one point they set aside their usual batons and daringly tossed fire wands. No one was safe from the juggler's crazy antics, as an elementary school class soon found out. The children were whisked away from their safe vantage point in the audience to center stage when the jugglers pulled them into the act. Along with the jugglers, the AS promotion included giving away free candy. A large crowd of people gathered in Red Square all day, but as Front photographer Tyler Anderson observed, was it the jugglers or the sun that drew the crowds? Campus cruisers Students to vote in bike referendum By Gail Skurla staff reporter Western bicyclists and pedestrians can vote on the "bikes on campus" issue in a referendum on May 9 and 10, said Associated Students President Tammy Fleming. Student opinion revealed by the referendum results, however, may not have any impact. Parking Office Director Ann Wallace said she doesn'tknow if the Parking Advisory Committee, which is in the process of making safety recommendations, will postpone submitting a proposal until after the referendum has been held. The Central Safety Committee, which had been working on recommendations to resolve the issue, has transferred the problem to the Transportation and Parking Office. "There is, potentially, a (safety) problem," Fleming said. "(The committee) is asking the parking office to enforce the regulations that are already in place." Currently, the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) states that pedestrians have the right-of-way on plaza areas, sidewalks and campus paths, and bicyclists must use caution when riding in these areas. "(The WAC) is so vague, there is no way to enforce it," Wallace said. "We wish to provide more specific restrictions." Wallace said solutions being considered by the Parking Advisory Committee include assigning specific areas for bike lanes and restricting bicyclists from riding on pedestrian pathways, requiring them to walk their bikes through campus. The actual wording of the referendum has not yet been decided, Fleming said. She noted the AS "does not support a bike ban." "If I had to choose between a bike ban or the status quo, I'd choose the status quo," she added. Student Philip Moore, a bicyclist, said the university "is negligent for not having bike paths." He also suggested installing more bike racks, preferably covered. Greg Madson, a graduate student and bicyclist, said safety on campus pathways is a problem. "I've seen people riding down the paths without their fingers on the brakes," he said. Restricting bicycles would probably improve safety, he noted. A ban would not, however, prevent him from continuing to ride through campus, Madson said. Gloria Johnson, a senior and pedestrian, said a ban is not necessary as long as bicyclists ride safely and are considerate. She said she had seen a woman who was hit by a bicyclist "who didn't even apologize. He knocked her down... grunted and ran off." •iliBHi^^BlHliiiiSH^S |^|J|Ji||^jJ|||||||||J SiiBlllSBIIIBB^BiiiSSi ful, may lead to a nationwide trend center director Sid DeVries said under the experiment, phone jacks will hook directly into a billing computer even when the residence S l H f^ HSBBiilMHillBBii^Ml ifcSiBilBiSHiSi^Bli phone service, a potential subscriber iiiiiilPiiB^jKHiiHBiiis ing-up your phone is a real hassle, IjlllBiliSj^MilBIHHi! the people who want service, and dents may do several times a year* ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ and plug your phone into your new able with going through aicomputer agreed.
