WESTERN FRONT PLEASE RECYCLE VOL. 76, NO. 50 WESTERN WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY, BELLINGHAM, WA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1984 AS escorts temporarily suspended By Christine Valdez R.G. Peterson of the University Police decided yesterday after meeting with the head of the Kung Fu Club that the police do not want to run the Associated Students escort service with a club. A.S. Adviser Jack Smith, who also attended the meeting, said Peterson wanted more time to run background checks on the Kung Fu Club members. Smith said Peterson also was concerned because at two escort training sessions last week, two of the four people who showed up were not students and the people who were to show up did not. Peterson was not available for comment. Last February. Tan Tran, Kung Fu Club instructor, volunteered the club to work on the escort service with the University Police from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. In return for its service. Smith said the club was to be paid S2 an hour which would go • into its budget. Currently. University Police is paid S3.86 an hour and escorts from 9 p.m. to 12 p.m. The help from the Kung Fu Club would have extended the hours from 6 p.m. to 12 p.m. At next week's AS Board meeting Smith said the Board will discuss options to the current escort service. It can either continue with the current hours and the University Police, or extend the hours from 7:30 or 8 p.m. until midnight, or it can provide its own escort service which would not be supervised by University Police. In other AS business: The board is arranging shuttles to the polls Tuesday. One shuttle will leave every hour from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in front of the Viking Union. Shuttles also will leave every half hour from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. from the Ridgeway, Fairhaven and Viking Commons dining halls. The polling places for on-campus students are: Nash, Mathes, Edens and Higginson vote at Maple Street Firehall, 111-1 Indian. Ridgeway; Fajrhaven, Buchanan Towers and Birnam Wood residents vote at Sehome High School. Highland Hall residents vote at the Courthouse Annex, 1000 North Forest. ANDY PERDUE In the true Halloween spirit, Dana Grant(left)and Soren Ryherd (right)dressed up as Charlie Chaplin and a cowboy for Wednesday's AS board meeting. State and county candidates on last leg 40th District candidates focus on education, taxes By Vaughn Cocke Taxesand education were the most popular themes in three 40th-District debates on Oct. 25. About 60 people filed into the Fairhaven Middle School cafeteria for the Bellingham Herald I League of Women Voters-sponsored event. SENATE The first debate pitted incumbent Sen. Lowell Peterson (D-Concrete) against Republican challenger David Welts. Welts, a Mt. Vernon attorney, opened by talking about education. Welts said he supported the idea of a tuition freeze, but cautioned that the quality of education might suffer as a result. "You cannot arbitrarily freeze tuition, because that cuts off funding," he said. Peterson, seeking his sixth four-year term, directed his attention to tourism. Expo 86 in Vancouver, British Columbia, he said, will generate much business for Whatcom County, and he pledged to pre-, pare for expansion. Peterson supported a tuition freeze, saying higher education should be available to everyone. At one point during the. debate, Welts asked of Peterson, "Do you think I'm qualified for the Senate?" Peterson responded by calling Welts one of the finest lawyers in the Pacific Northwest, but said he should stay in that profession. Welts later cited an interview of two years ago when Peterson allegedly said he was considering leaving the Senate. Welts claimed that Peterson repeatedly had tried to secure an outside job and questioned the senator's dedication. Peterson said he intends to stay on four more years if elected, adding, "I'm not looking for a higher paying job in government." Abortion, nuclear free zone discussed at 42nd debate By Karen Jenkins Six local candidates launched their final week of campaigning last Tuesday night by answering questions from each other and an audience at Shuksan Middle School. HOUSE POSITION 1 The debate between Democrat Terry Brainard and Republican Homer Lundquist was a slow-moving affair. It consisted mostly of Brainard attacking his opponent's performance in the Legislature in 1981 and 1982, when Lundquist had the district's Position 2 seat. Brainard described Lundquist's policies as"short-termexpensive solutions,"and criticized the former representative's voting record in the Legislature. He asked Lundquist why he voted against a bill to punish people for cruelty to animals. Lundquist replied that the bill was "a waste of taxpayers' time and money." When he wasn't defending his past record, Lundquist pledged "to provide funding for • see 40th DISTRICT, page 2 HOUSE POSITION 1 The first debate was between State Representative (Position I) Democrat Dennis Braddock and his opponent, Republican Carol Post. The discussion was subdued, with neither candidate showing much emotion. Braddock said he is against Initiative 471, which would stop state funding of abortions. "I believe in choice," he said. "We certainly don't want to encourage the. use of abortion. But sometimes it's best for people to have that choice and that choice should not be only for the rich." Post favors the initiative. She said medical care should be provided to people when they need it but abortion is an operation of choice, not a medical necessity. A man from the audience asked Braddock why he had voted to put the state in debt with a $386 million bond issue. "I thought it was a relatively responsible capital expenditure for us at that time," Braddock said. The bond went toward building and upgrading schools, prisons and mental health facilities, he said. One woman asked the candidates if they thought religion should influence the way a person voted. Braddock answered, "They (religious beliefs) are so much a part "of us, they do whether we mean them to or not." Post replied similarly, "Our religion is the basis for all our ethics and how we relate to other people. We can't divorce that from anything we do in our life." HOUSE POSITION 2 The candidates in the second debate, State Representative (Position 2) Republican Roger Van Dyken and Democratic challenger Pete Kremen, were much more aggressive in their remarks. Kremen opened by saying Van Dyken has been able to get only three bills passed during his three terms in the state House of Representatives. "He has failed," Kremen said. Van Dyken defended his record, saying he had helped 49 bills get passed during his six years in office. In addition, he said, he helped write six other bills that were passed. "There is a saying in Olympia that last-minute personal attacks are the last resort of a desperate candidate," Van Dyken said. As president of the Big Brothers and Sisters of Northwest Washington, Kremen started a bingo game that has made the • see 42nd DISTRICT, page 2
