THE WESTERN FRONT Vol. 64 No. 35 WESTERN WASHINGTON STATE COLLEGE Tuesday, April 4, 1972 PE merger causes confusion The combining of the men's and women's physical education departments at Western has led to an enormous amount of confusion regarding the future status of William Tomaras, head of men's P.E. The chairmanship of the new department was offered to Margaret Aitken, present head of women's P.E, by William Bultmann, dean of arts and sciences, following a poll of the P.E. department's faculty. Tomaras has been offered the position of athletic director of Margaret Aitken the new department and in this new position would be directly responsible to Dean Bultmann. As of yesterday Tomaras had not yet accepted that job. Wednesday, Aitken told Tomaras that she had accepted the chairmanship of the new department. Regarding the post of athletic director Aitken said, "Bill, I am asking you not to do it." Tomaras believed this was a request for his resignation as athletic director, a position he has held since 1960. In an article in Thursday's Bellingham, Herald Tomaras charged that the administration was trying to force him out. "I was not about to let her or anybody else just walk in and take over my job," Tomaras said. "I don't mind not having the chairmanship, as I have plenty to do just with the athletic program. "We have worked hard to obtain a program which puts education above athletics and still keeps athletics high. "I feel we have been successful so far, despite monetary problems and I refuse to stand back and let it go down William Bultmann the drain." Tomaras cited to the Viking's Evergreen championship football and basketball teams as an indication of the program's success. Tomaras told the Bellingham Herald that he believed that the administration was trying to dump him because of his outspoken objections to a plan last spring to drop intercollegiate sports. "President Flora thought I overreacted last spring and opened my mouth too much. "We needed to save the program and I felt that was my job. "She (Aitken) has never shown any interest in our athletic program." Commenting on the overall program, Aitken said that if changes were to be made, they would be for the better. "Nobody is trying to get rid of athletics; no one has ever mentioned it. We'll continue to have athletics," she said. She said that there hasn't been enough interchange between the men's and women's physical education departments. "There is a need for more men to have women teachers, and women to have men teachers. "We, in women's physical education, think we have a good program," she said. Dean Bultmann had praise for both Tomaras and Aitken. He said he is very pleased with the outstanding work Aitken has done on the academic side of physical education. "Academic innovation is perhaps an over-used term, but it certainly applies in her case," he • said. "Tomaras has done a very good job in athletics," he also said. "He has been way under-funded, but has gone out and gotten very good athletes to represent Western." Bultmann said that the new setup for the physical education department will attempt to take the strong points of both Aitken and Tomaras and use them for the best advantage of Western. William Tomaras 'Turn in a pusher' Sundquist offers reward program Tod Sundquist will pay you to turn in a pusher. Sundquist, AS president, announced last Wednesday that his office has set up a reward fund to pay anonymous informers on the conviction of heroin pushers. The details of the program, how much to pay, reward procedures and amount of heroin that has to be involved have not been worked out. P a t r i c k Davis, AS non-academic coordinator, is working with the Bellingham chief of police and the Whatcom County sheriff to set up the program. Details are expected in about a week. The program, modeled after Tampa, Fla., TIP (Turn in a Pusher), deals exclusively with heroin. "It's better to institute a preventative program than wait until a remedial program is needed," Sundquist said. "I don't think there can be any question that people want to preclude the entry of heroin into the area." He expects not only students but others in the community to respond. "I wouldn't say that we have a lot of heroin in the area," Cecil B. Klein, Bellingham chief of police, said, "but if someone wanted to get it, they could buy it without any trouble. "There have been no arrests for use or pushing to speak of," he said. A source who wished to be anonymous said that there have been two possible heroin overdoses in the area in the last month. The Tampa TIP program, which deals in hard drugs exclusively and assures absolute anonymity, received 5,000 calls that led to 39 arrests in a nine month period. No arrests or warrants are Tod Sundquist ordered on the basis of a tip. Police use the information to try to make purchases. On conviction of a pusher, the anonymous informer collects his reward. Sundquist is opposed to including other drugs besides heroin in the program for two reasons. "First is that clearly heroin is the most dangerous drug I can think of," Sundquist said, "not only because it involves the sale and use of an illegal substance but because it is a crime that breeds crime. "Second, I think it's important for the success of the program that we don't spread ourselves too thin." Sundquist started the reward fund with $100 from his contingency fund. Davis will contact area business and organizations for more funds. Klein said he was in favor of the program and he hopes that it will work, "but I'd like to get it all laid out before it starts. I don't think anyone will want to give money until they see where it is going to go. "We haven't really got the program set up and we're still working on the angles before we start to augment the reward fund. It's a Western project as far as getting information. They are going to do the solicitation of funds." Klein hasn't received any comments from the community yet. Sundquist who received comments, said, "Everyone seems enthusiastic. The reaction of the students is positive." Sundquist said that the success of the program will depend on his successor, but he is fairly sure it will continue. He will concentrate on building up the reward fund the rest of this year. "If we let it fizzle, there's no doubt it will die," he added. He did not agree that the program could cause a feeling of distrust on campus. " I 'm not sure you're encountering that type of situation," he said. "As I see it, sellers of heroin are forcing this community to face a problem of a fairly crucial nature, and I don't see it as a situation as you suggest. I've thought about this a lot." Bellingham. is not too small' for the program he said. "I'm not sure the size of the community is important. I'm not sure we're any less vulnerable to the heroin problem than anyone else." The source of the report on the local heroin overdoses had similar feelings. " T h e drug scene in Bellingham is relatively cool, and we don't want to repeat the d i s a s t e r in Seattle and Vancouver or the classical example of Haight-Ashbury that in a three month period turned from a peace and joy center to a .mugging and murder center.» Black politician Julian Bond to speak here tonight Julian Bond, Black politician, will speak in Carver Gym at 8 o'clock tonight. Tickets for the 50 cents admission charge will be sold this afternoon at the Viking Union Information Desk and at the door, according to Program Commissioner Lynn Wienholtz. His appearance is being sponsored by the Program Commission. Bond, who is 32, gained national recognition by being the first Black man nominated for the vice-presidency of the United States. This occurred at the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago. Bond's involvement with politics and civil rights began when he founded the Committee on Appeal for Human Rights, a student organization originating from Atlanta University which coordinated three years of anti-discrimination protests in Atlanta in 1960. He served as its executive secretary for three months. Bond also helped found the S t u d e n t N o n v i o l e nt C o o r d i n a t i n g Committee (SNCC) in April 1960. In 1965, Bond was elected to a new seat created by reapportionment in the Georgia House of Representatives. He was prevented from taking office in January 1966 because of l e g i s l a t i v e members who objected to his statements about the Vietnam War. He won a second election in February 1966, to fill his vacant seat, but a special House committee voted not to seat him once more. After winning a third election in November 1966, Bond took his place in the Georgia House, only after the United States Supreme Court unanimously ruled that the Georgia House erred in refusing to seat him. Bond is a member of the executive committee of the Atlanta National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, advisory board of the proposed Martin Luther King, J r . Memorial Library and S o u t h e r n Correspondents Reporting Racial Equality Wars. He is also an honorary member of Phi Kappa Literary Society of the University of Georgia at Athens, Ga., research associate of the Voter Education Project of the Southern Regional C o u n c i l and the first co-chairman of the National Conference for New Politics. Bond has been described as the leader of a new Democratic coalition, a militant activist, not r e v o l u t i o n a r y but a representative of Blacks that are influencing the nation through the system.
