VOL. 69 NO. 37, CHOO CHOO — The Royal Hudson, a British Columbia steam locomotive, was in Bellingham from noon until 6 p.m. Wednesday. The engine and the cars it pulled were part of a tour of the United States, promoting tourism in British Columbia and celebrating Queen Elizabeth H's Silver Jubilee. Below, two members of the tour, constable Neil Taylor of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and Robert Heggie, holding bag pipes, talked with an interested sightseer. AS election time Douglas symposium begins today The William O. Douglas Symposium begins today and continues through Saturday. The seminar features a special address by Cathleen Douglas, wife of the former Supreme Court justice. Douglas' speech, "William O. Douglas, the Man," is scheduled for 11:10 a.m. Saturday. Other featured speakers include Jay Murphy of the University of Alabama, who will open Friday's general session at 3 p.m. in AH 100. Books and other materials will be on display throughout the day in the Fairhaven main lounge. On Saturday, Thomas I. Emerson of Yale University will discuss government secrecy and the public's right to know. Fairhaven instructor Bob Keller, advises interested students to attend the general session today for an overview of the symposium. Keller also said about 250 people are registered for the symposium. Polling takes on new look byRIPROBBINS On last year's election ballots, many students accused the AS of being controlled by an elite group. The annual rebuttal to this charge is now underway, with 10 board of directors positions and 13 All-College Senate seats open. Elections will be April 26 through 28. "What's in it for you?" is the slogan for this year's election, organized by Tony Mauher, election board chairperson. "You" stands for students, who Mauher said he would like to see become more familiar with student governance. Mauher said he is talking with Women's Center in an attempt to -have more women compete for AS offices. He pointed out that half of Western's students are women, but this is not reflected by AS board membership. Working with the AS would be an excellent chance for practical experience involving bureaucracy and organizational procedure, Mauher said. New procedures will be employed in this year's election. Mauher has arranged to bring Whatcom County voting machines to Red Square and the VU. The machines are being rented from the County for $15 each. Jack Smith, VU director, said he remembers voting machines being used in 1971 AS elections. He said the next election was done with computer punch cards. Recent elections have been by paper ballots. Part of Maimer's strategy for increasing voter turnout will be to put the Red Square poll under the large "Sky Viewing" sculpture. The VU poll will be among the merchant tables on the VU plaza. Mauher said Richard Chesmore, election board member, is working with Mama Sundays to get musicians outside on election days. "We wanted a flying elephant," jested Mauher. Students can run for office by first completing registration forms which are available in VU 215 or 227. Senate housework: Ethnic Studies folds Labeled a 'housekeeping' item on the agenda, the All-College Senate (ACS).last week removed the last trace of the College of Ethnic Studies (CES) from its rolls. Without discussion, the Senate unanimously consented to reassign the ACS Constitutional designation for ethnic studies representatives to an At-Large status beginning July 1. That is the time the CES will formally close doors. Last spring, the Program Study Commission (PSC), recommended dissolution of the College of Ethnic- Studies and the incorporation of portions of its curriculum into existing departments. The PSC cited high costs and low enrollment as reasons for the recommendation. No comment on the representative change was available from current ethnic studies representatives as neither were present. CES student representative,Margaret Diddy, graduated winter quarter and the faculty representative has not attended senate meetings since last June. ACS representatives are elected from four areas of Western: student body, administration, classified staff and faculty from the various colleges and schools of Western. Faculty, classified staff and administration are holding annual elections for senators this month. A total of 13 student senate seats are also open. Elections will be conducted with the annual AS Board of Directors election at the end of April. CES journal renowned Western's Public Information Office (PIO) is promoting the Journal of Ethnic Studies, a world-renowned publication. A year ago, Western's Program Study Commission (PSC) stated the College of Ethnic Studies (CES) — point of origin for the Journal. - had "not met expectations . . . in its . . . spirit, impact and relation to the rest of campus . . ." The PIO quotes co-editor Jesse Hiraoka, who is also dean of the doomed CES, as explaining "The Journal is much better known nationally and in other countries than it is locally." The PIO reported the Journal, started in 1973, now has about 700 subscriptions, including 500 world-wide institutions. In a Front interview, Dean Hiraoka explained the Journal program is intact and would continue despite the termination of the CES. He added that Rutgers University had expressed interest in having the Journal. Hiraoka said the Journal of Ethnic Studies is entirely supported by subscriptions. "Once a journal is established in a field, manuscripts pour in," said Hiraoka. He, along with co-editor Jeffrey Wilner, sort through the poetry, fiction and reviews that form the core of the book. The Journal solicits material from certain writers if a specific topic is desired. The PIO named Harvard, Princeton and the Sorbonne as prominent subscribers to the Journal. It is circulated in Canada, Africa, New Zealand, England, France, Switzerland and the Philipines. Last spring, the PSC, set up by College President Paul Olscamp.l recommended that the ethnic studies program be abolished. The PSC cited high costs and low enrollment as reasons for the .recommendation. J
