the _ western front western Washington state, college Vol. 65 J No. 3 /^ FRIDAY February 2, 1973 Ten Cents Bellingham, Washington Vikings host W ildcats tonight story on page 10 ttMiJ Fairhaven pig farm ordered to fold Swines in violation of city health code by MICHELE RAYMOND The Fairhaven pig farm is in danger of extinction. ? Security has declared the pigs ; and chickens, that have resided , for three months in an enclosed ; area between Fairhaven and Buchanan Towers, to be in violation of the City Health Code, Resident staff member Tim Place brought his pigs on campus last quarter as part of the administration's new "self sufficiency skills" program in the residence halls. Its aim is to. acquaint students with everyday occurrences that most people are alienated from in today's society. The area was eventually to become a mini-farm, and garden, complete with goats and rabbits. Although campus security warned Place last quarter that the pigs violated a city ordinance, no action was taken. This week a directive was issued to assistant dean Dick Norris at Fairhaven, by acting provost W. A. Bultmann, stating that the code will be enforced by security, and the animals must be removed. The Fairhaven Policy Board approves of the farming activity as an "educational endeavor." Norris said that alternatives to removal of the pigs are being looked into. "Other schools keep animals a*s part of their academic programs. Even though they are against city health rules, the colleges manage to modify conditions in such a way as to make them legal." Security officer Charles Page stated that domestic animals other than "common household pets" are strictly prohobited in high density population areas, such as Fairhaven. He added that other schools who keep animals probably* keep them in less densely populated "suburban" areas. Norris says he intends to call the City Health Officer in to. see if the pig pen area could be modified to make the pigs legal. However, if the cost of improvements is too high, they would have to go. So far, the cost of housing the pigs has come to about $3.50. Safety officer Charles Martin said that Fairhaven could keep a farm if the students could find a suburban location for it, and received permission from the Planning Commission, County Health Department, and City Animal Control. At the present, no such place can be found, Norris said. Student injured in lab accident A Western chemistry student received sulfuric acid burns on his face and arms as the result of an accident that occurred while he was doing undergraduate research in a Haggard Hall chemistry lab Wednesday. James Larson was treated at St. Luke's Hospital emergency room where he had been taken following the accident by Robert Holland, of the chemistry stock room staff. After treatment Larson, a senior chemistry major, was released for further treatment at the student health service. Joseph Crook, chairman of the chemistry department, said that Larson had been wearing protective goggles at the time of the accident. "The goggles were really a mess," Crook said. If Larson had not been wearing them the acid would have undoubtedly gone into his eyes, he added. The accident occurred "sometime during the lunch hour" on Wednesday, Crook said. Larson was released from St. Luke's at 12:55 p.m. following emergency treatment. Inside... Whatcom CC explored The college has no large buildings; it prefers using community resources. See pg. 7. Reactions to cease fire Howard Harris isn't happy yet: our war goes on in Laos and Thailand. Vets are "hopeful but still hesitant." See pg. 3. Seattle women's clinics A movement is underway to organize a special medical clinic for women in Bellingham. See pg. 6. PIGS OFF CAMPUS-Fairhaven staff member Tim Place visits resident pig. Security has declared that the animals are in violation of the City Health Code and must be removed. The area occupied by the pigs will eventually become a mini-farm and garden, complete with goats and rabbits. Student government election draws low voter turnout Cathi Rafferty was elected AS Board of Directors secretary-treasurer; and Heidi Henken, Steve Mellroth and Duff Wilson were elected AS Board of Directors at-large'in the special election Wednesday. Two hundred forty-two students cast their votes in the election, which amounts to about three per cent of the students enrolled at Western this quarter. Duff Wilson said the low turn-out at the polls and the lack of campaigning exhibits "gross apathy on the part of the students and the candidates." The AS board needed a mandate from the students, he said. .Heidi Henken said the students do not feel touched by student government. Students may have complaints, she said, but they do not know what channels exist for making changes; they do not know what student government can do for them. Cathi Rafferty said students obviously are not interested in student government. She said she ran because she wants to learn how the college is run and because she feels she can do a good job as secretary and treasurer. Lack of communication between the students and student government was the problem most often mentioned by the 12 candidates running for the AS board positions. Steve Mellroth's special interest has been the establishment of an FM radio station at Western. Although the election turn-out was small, 97 per cent of those who voted were in favor of the FM station. Besides the survey question of the FM station, students were also asked to answer a survey question on bus service—whether every student should be assessed $1.75 for free bus service, or whether only those who want the service should be assessed a maximum of $6. Sixty-three per cent wanted only those persons who want the service to be assessed. The purpose of the AS Board of Directors, according to its by-laws, is to have general charge of the affairs, funds and property of the Associated Students. The board has delegated much of this management to councils, such as the Student Services Council. One board member sits on each council. The AS board is the official spokesman for the Associated Students.
