Tibetan Folk Group coming to Western causing international controversy by GREG COHEN The Lhamo Folk Opera of Tibet, expected at Western Tuesday, is a moving international incident as far as the People's Republic of China is concerned. The U.S. State Department disagrees. The controversy began Monday when a foreign ministry spokesman in Peking accused the U .S. of "undisguised interference in China's internal affairs" by permitting the Dalai Lama's supporters to operate in the U.S., according to a UPI report. The Lhamo Folk Opera will appear Tuesday at 8 p.m. in Western's Music Auditorium. The performance is co-sponsored by the A.S. Program Commission and the College of Ethnic Studies. According to a State Department spokesman this is not the first time Peking has criticized the U.S. for allowing foreign groups to perform in this country. This attack, however, comes barely a week before Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger's scheduled arrival in Peking to finalize arrangements for President Ford's first visit to China. What effect this criticism might have on Sino-American relations is unknown, but the State Department's officer-in-charge of Chinese Affairs, Peter Smith, told the Front "I would have no reason to believe this would have an impact on our broader relations with China." The Lhamo Folk Opera began its international tour in June at the Vienna Festival and since has appeared in a number of cities in the U.S. and Canada. They will be performing in Victoria, B.C., today and will arrive in Belling-ham Monday. The group is composed of followers of the Dalai Lama who fled Himalaya in 1959 when China invaded their homeland. Since then they have moved to India where they have continued to preserve their artistic heritage. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17,1975 VOL.68 NO.7 Recovery of stolen property down, says security by HARRY McFARLAND The 1974-5 annual report of Western's Safety and Security department revealed that the recovery rate of stolen property has dropped significantly, thousands of parking citations were issued, and firearms proficiency training was paid for partly by the college. Several members of the department will be commissioned as peace officers by college president Paul Olscamp sometime in the near future. In 1973-74, $55,642 of state and private property was stolen and 43 per cent of that was recovered. Of $40,627 taken in 1974-75, only 10.3 per cent was recovered. Lt. Lee Brown of security said there are two reasons for the recovery rate drop. First, in years past a major item has been taken, such as . a $15,000 synthesizer taken during one period. This raised both dollar amounts, since it was rec3vered that year. No really expensive items were taken last year. The second reason, Brown said, was the lack of a data base on larceny and burglary to draw conclusions, which would aid in recovering the stolen items. He said most felonies are committed by off-campus persons. One man arrested recently had a Florida address. The department issued 17,808 parking citations last academic year, but only 3,705 were paid. The reasons cited for most violations were LEE BROWN no permit, parking out of their area, and parking in a no-parking zone. Brown said the return rate was insignificant, because any law enforcement agency that tries to run on a profit basis is known as a "speed trap." "The parking system is working," Brown said. "I, like everyone else, think there is a need for more space. Until it is available, the department will have to operate in the same manner." Of 88 total hours in firearms proficiency training, 26 hours were paid by the department. The rest were volunteered by the officers. This training was stopped by the department director, R.G. Peterson, when Olscamp said he felt the training would not benefit the campus. Firearms for the security force were forbidden by a resolution passed by the Board of Trustees last August. Olscamp said a "tiny portion of the security office budget" was used for the purchase of ammunition. Commissioning of the security force will not come until he is ready, Olscamp said. He will ask the officers to take a course in human relations and minority affairs offered by the College of Ethnic Studies. This will be part of the commissioning process. After the course is completed and he has seen the officers' qualifications, Olscamp said he will commission them. As to when, he said he "had a hunch that it will be this quarter."

A check of the station's equipment last weekend revealed, "two vacuum tubes and other small components were malfunctioning causing air leakage into the units," Dodd said. On Monday the station contacted a number of local electronic supply houses to obtain the needed tubes, but the tubes were not in stock. "We could only get the replacements from a Seattle warehouse," Dodd said. "Hopefully KUGS will receive the parts in time to be back on the air by tonight." Once the new parts, valued at under seven dollars, are installed, station officials say KUGS's signal quality will be greatly improved.
