'After 12 Hours Hashing
BAN-THE-BOMB supporter Eric Robinson of San Trancisco is
apprehended by a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman Wednesday
night at the border crossing in Blaine. He was on his way to
demonstrate on Vancouver Island—he ended up walking across
later, but a search is on to deport him from Canada. See story

AS Budget Request
May Exceed *93,500
The Associated Students operating budget for
next year will exceed $93,500 if a request to be sub­m
i t t e d by the AS Legislature is approved by the
Administration.
The legislators arrived at the
figure, which is only two-thousand
dollars above this year's amount,
after twelve hours of hashing over
the requested department bud­gets
two nights this week.
The figure represents the net
revenue the Associated Students
expect after a $27,515 estimated
income was subtracted from a
total. $121,337 budget request.
THE MONEY will come from
student fees paid at the first of
each quarter based on projected
enrollment estimates.
The largest request is for $29,-
966 to operate the Viking Union
next year, followed by $24,400 to
keep the Collegian presses rolling.
. Both The Collegian and the
Viking Union return their incomes
to the Associated Students which
amounts to about $21,000 in
revenue annually.
The only major cut in request­ed
department budgets came in
the form of a $1,000 slash in the
1966 Klipsun printing budget. The
Klipsun had requested $17,000 to
print the yearbook next year, but
most legislators felt that a 70
per cent increase in the Klipsun's
budget over one year was too
much.
A NEW department, labelled
photography, was granted nearly
$3,000 for next year's budget also.

BLAINE—Three ban-the-bombists
defied Canadian
I m m i g r a t i o n authorities
and the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police h e r e Wed­nesday
in an attempt to
gain e n t r y into Canada.
After1 five tension-filled hours
of scuffles and conferences be­tween
the Canadian authorities
and the three self-styled anarch­ists,
one made a daring flight
into the night across the border
while the others were turned back
to the United States.
Eric Robinson, 21, of San Fran­cisco,
Calif., when he was told
he couldn't enter Canada, said,

"Well, I don't accept that, I'm
going to Vancouver, goodbye."
During the ensuing confusion in
the Immigration office, filled
with Robinson's supporters, Rob­inson
left the office, crossed the
border and drove to Vancouver
with a member of the Vancouver
Peace Centre.
AN RCMP car was sent after
them, but didn't catch them.
The marchers, Robinson, Bill
Simmons, 20, of Montreal, and
Dean Plagowski, 30, of San Fran­cisco,
wanted to enter Canada to
participate in a 135-mile peace
march from Victoria to Comox,
B. C. In Comox they planned a
24-hour "vigil" or sit-in at the
entrance to the Comox Air Force
base.
The march, which got under
way yesterday, was planned by
the Vancouver Peace Centre.
Several members of the VPC
picketed the Canadian side, of the
border Wednesday evening dur­ing
the crossing;
The drama began at 6:45 p. m.
in a drizzling rain. Robinson,
Plagowski and Simmons led a
group of about 15 marchers from
the Canadian Customs parking
lot to the Immigration station and
border.
Several of the marchers were
from" Western, including Mike
Lyons, chairman of the campus
chapter of the Student Nori-vio-
1 e n t Coordinating Committee.
They carried signs, with various
inscriptions, including: "Down
with all fences," "Keep the bor­ders
open for all," and "Always
do the right thing even if the
authorities deny it."
THE THREE leaders were met
by Canadian Immigration offi­cials.
They demanded identifica­tion
of Robinson and he refused
to give it. He tried to move past
the officers, but was shoved back.
Again Robinson tried to press
on and when the officer restrain­ed
him he fell to the ground and
sat. Simmons and Robinson be­gan
to advance once more while
the rest of the group sang "We
Shall Oversome" off key. Pla­gowski
remained behind.
By means of advancing a few
paces, being shoved and sitting

Bowl Team To Face
Randolph-Macon Sun.
Western's victorious college bowl foursome flew
to New York this morning to p r e p a r e for t h e second
match defending t h e i r championship on t h e nationally-televised
General Electric College Bowl program.
The team, Karen Andersen, Jon
Reeves, Don Des Jardien and
Captain Dick Araway, will meet
Randolph-Macon College of Vir­ginia
in the half-hour match Sun­day
at 5:30 p. m. on NBC-TV.
Last Sunday, Western's team
captured the crown from Bald­win-
Wallace College of Berea, O.
in a cliff-hanger that ended with
the team coming from behind
in the last few minutes for a 190-
170 win.
THE BACON the team brought
home Monday morning was a
$1,500 scholarship and the right
to compete again. If they win
Sunday, they'll be flying back to
New York for another match
next week. After five wins, they'll
retire as champions.
In last Sunday's match the
team trailed Baldwin-Wallace by
70 points as the half-time score
rested at 130-60 and it began to
look like the team was in for a

The second half started slowly,
but with only seconds remain­ing
in the match, the team rallied
taking advantage of bonus points
and Miss Andersen's knowledge
of literature for a 20-point ad­vantage.
The buzzer rang and
Western emerged winner, defeat­ing
three-time winner Baldwin*-

WESTERN'S VICTORY marks

The team will ibe out for an­other
win Sunday, but in the
event they lose, they'll collect
a $500 scholarship and head home
without the chance to compete
again.
The team flies home from New
York to Vancouver International
Airport and then drives on into
Bellingham. They were met at
the airport and in the Viking
Union upon the arrival home
early Monday morning.
A big crowd is expected to be
awaiting the team's arrival in

department areas.
The facilities area of student
government was granted $1,000
of their $5,700 requested budget
to purchase five new canoes for
Lakewood, Western's shoreline
property at Lake Whatcom.
Jeopardy, the college's annual
literary magazine, was given the
green light from the solons to
double their budget next year and
allow for printing of 500 extra
copies. Jeopardy is presently
printed on a first-come, first-serve
basis for 500 students on
campus. They now charge a 50*
cent price for the book.
With their expanded budget, if
approved by the administration,
Jeopardy will be handed out fre<3
just as the Klipsun. [
Monday, the Legislature will re­open
the budget hearings to dis­cuss
a $440 request to pay print­ing
taxes for the Klipsun. Therfe
was some controversy in the
hearing Tuesday nighf whether
or not the tax was needed.
AFTER THE budget receives
the final okay, which is now
nothing more than a mere for­mality,
the administration will
have a chance to review the re­quests.
It is expected that all the
money needed will be granted,
as the budget doesn't exceed
what .could be expected from stu­dent
fees.
