thewestern front Western Washington State College, Bellingham, Wash. 98225 Vol. LX No. if Tues., Feb. 2<f, 1968 1 0C Five plead guilty to pot use charges Five Western men face sentencing March 28 after pleading guilty Friday morning to charges of using marijuana in a dorm room at Nash Hall. They are Lawrence LeSage, 20, David Gruenstein, 18, Ren-aldo J. Bigornia, 18 and John P. Larson, 18, all of Tacoma; and Carlos A. Calderon, 19, Burlington. All are Western students living at Nash except Larson, who# dropped out of school at me end' of fall quarter. The five were arrested late Wednesday by Bellingham Police * Sgt LaVerne Geleynse, and booked for possession of marijuana. They have been released from jail on their personal recognizance. College officials told police that Campus Security Officer George Steer was called when marijuana smoke was smelled coming from LeSage's room. Steer, admitted to the room by LeSage, found two whole marijuana cigarettes. While waiting for the police, college officials found one whole marijuana cigarette and a warm marijuana butt on the ground below the room. After police arrived, another whole and one partly-used marijuana cigarette were found. Dean of Students James Hitch-man said Friday that this was Western's first on-campus arrest for marijuana violation. Kathy Cornelison, Walter Smith and Bill Barwise play characters who think the world has wronged them in "Slow Dance on the Killing Ground," to be presented in a four-day run starting Thursday. (Photo by MacDonald) "Killing Ground' to dance in play starting Thursday "Slow Dance on the Killing Ground" will be performed by the Western Players at 8:15 p.m. Thursday through Sunday in L-l. The cast consists of Walter j . smith as Randall, Bill Bar-wise as Glas, and Kathy cornelison as Rosie. The play, directed by Byron Sigler, takes place on the night of June 1, 1962 in a small candy store in New York. Randall is an 18-year-old youth with an extraordinarily high I.O. Brought up neglectedly by his prostitute mother, he has been in and out of jails and reform schools. His concept of the world as a killing ground is related throughout the play. Glas, the reserved but outspoken owner of the candy store, has a slight limp which he says he acquired in a Nazi concentration camp. Rosie is an unwed mother-to-be who does not want her child and plans to have an abortion. The charcters coincidentally meet in the store and have little in common except for their feelings that the world has wronged them. Dean of Students James Hitchman (Photo by Eagle e.t.) Hitchman answers charge For years the College has upheld the policy that students must carry twelve hours and have a 2.00 grade point average in order to hold office or employment. This quarter several students held office and carried less than twelve hours. Over three weeks ago various advisers and student leaders were presented with the problem. After several verbal and written communications it was clear that the legislature and student body president refused to abide by the twelve hour rule. The two legislators who carried less than twelve hours did resign, however. The Office of the Dean of Students is obligated to carry out rules, policies and procedures adopted by the faculty, students and administration. In this instance, due to the position taken by the ASB government, there was no choice but to enforce the policy. On the other hand, the proper student, faculty and administrative groups may consider changes in the policy. However, the present policy should be adhered to while it exists. Student legislators contend that they are treated in an authoritarian manner, when actually the administration has welcomed students as equals on the decision-making bodies of the College. —Dean of Students James Hitchman Council modifies COLE science recommendation The Academic Council modified in their meeting last Tuesday the Committee on Liberal Education (COLE) recommendation for natural science general education requirements which it had adopted Feb. 6. For students choosing the option calling for physics and chemistry to be followed by geology and biology, the council voted to add physical geography as an alternative to geology. Heavy opposition to the addition, voiced by the physics, chemistry, geology and biology departments, failed to sway the council. Modification of general education physics, chemistry and biology courses to meet the needs of the non-major was urged in a joint statement from the Student Academic Advisory Board and the General Education Committee The second option of the COLE committee, calling for specialized science sequences, was modified by adoption of the General Education Committee recommendation, less a geog- - raphy sequence. Freshmen with a year of high school biology plus one year of high school physics or chemistry may take specialized sequences in physics, chemistry, geology or biology.

Fredrickson said he was asking legislator Al Donaldson to submit a new bill and letter "severely reprimanding" Hitchman for interfering with the AS Legislature and carrying out their duties. The new bill was to go before the Legislature yesterday afternoon. Fredrickson said he felt there was "a great deal of difference" between asking for Hitchman's resignation and telling Hitchman the Legislature disagreed with his actions. The Legislature had passed during a special five-hour session Wednesday night a motion to ask Flora for Hitchman's resignation. The motion came after the Legislature accepted unanimously the resignations of two legislators, Noel Bourasaw and Drew Pettus, who did not meet the 12-hour requirement to sit on the board. The requirement is listed as college policy on page 4 of "The Navigator" and in Article III, Section 4 of the AS Constitution. Legislator Al Donaldson, who voted for the measure, explained, "We accepted the resignations because the two were in the wrong. We passed the bill asking for the resignation because it is our right to determine who is going to represent the students." Bourasaw and Pettus had been notified by Hitchman Wednesday that if they did not resign by 5 p.m. that day, the matter would be sent to the college disciplinary board. The Legislature had rejected at its meeting last Monday an earlier ultimatum that the two resign by Feb. 20. Hitchman said Friday in an interview that Monday's statement was the fourth communication concerning ineligibility. He said he had notified AS President Dan Fredrickson and speaker of the legislature Dave Cunningham of the ineligibility three weeks ago, and asked them to act on it Wednesday night's decision to write Flora was opposed by legislators Steve Cooper, Jon Hatch and Dennis Hindman. Cooper said, "I did not vote for the bill because I do not believe the action of this board was responsible. I feel further that this demanding resolution will do a great deal to hinder working relationships between the administration and the student legislature." AS Vice-President Darrell Peterson also opposed asking for Hitchman's resignation, although he did not vote on the bill. Peterson said Thursday in an interview, "You should play by the rules until you change them, and then you should play by the rules again until they are changed again." He attributed the Legislature's hostility toward the Dean of Students to "a bad case of misinformation since the legislative body as a whole wasn't informed of the situation." In connection with the resignations dispute, the Legislature voted to change requirements for legislators to seven credit hours and a 2.4 grade-point average. Because this is a constitutional change and was not approved unanimously by the Legislature, the change must have two-thirds approval of those voting in the spring quarter elections. Stuck up? No, nothing vein about these blood donors. Bruce Eagle, foreground, was one off 101 donors in the Associated Students Blood Drive Wednesday. At least two non-students, Jack Carver and Bev Daniels off the Bellingham Herald, also lined up to give blood. AS President Dan Fredrickson termed the drive—Western's third in two years —a success.
