Discord blocks High Street closure JOHN STOLPE staff reporter Engineering disagreements have bogged down the closure of High Street on campus and the construction of a by-pass route for vehicular traffic. The City Street Committee all but dumped College Planner Harold Goltz' proposal to divert traffic along Garden Street and construct a new roadway linking Garden Street with Highland Drive. City Street Superintendent Oscar Lindquist argues that the original proposal would overload Garden Street and suggests building an elevated by-pass which he said "couldn't cost more than $750,000." The City Council has instructed the Street Committee to take a close look at all possible alternatives including the possible union of the Goltz proposal with others. Goltz expressed concern Thursday that further delay would hamper scheduled construction projects on campus, including the west-wing addition to Wilson Library. "I am disappointed that our original by-pass proposal was not acceptable," Goltz said. "It was made under the approval of the city engineer, the college engineer and the long-range planning engineer." His by-pass route project has already received $325,000 in State funds for construction. When asked what he thought of Lindquist's plan for an elevated by-pass, Goltz said, "I personally think that it would be t e r r i b l y expensive and unnecessary." He added that whichever plan or combination of plans is finally approved by the City Council the college will foot only $325,000 of the cost. ~ "The rest of the money will have to come from another non-State source," Goltz said. The Garden Street by-pass route has been the subject of criticism by Highland Drive residents who argue that its 10 degree slope would be too steep on winter ice. Lindquist's elevated by-pass would contain an eight degree s l o p e and would be approximately 1,500 feet long running about the same route as Goltz' original proposal. Another suggestion to run High Street underground was ruled out when preliminary costs were found to be $1.2 million. No announcement has been made concerning another meeting to hash out a compromise plan between the College Planning Office and the City Street Committee. the western front Vol. LXI no.26 Western Washington State College Bellingham, Washington 98225 Tuesday, May 20, 1969 10c Hootin, hollerin Dirty Dan to roar again this weekend NOEL BOURASAW cub reporter Dirty Dan Harris will live again in all his rum-running glory Friday and Saturday. Harris, noted for his "picturesque and soiled apparel, careless eating habits and cluttered living quarters" was the trader who founded the town of Fairhaven. He has been immortalized recently in Lelah Jackson Edson's historical book, "The Fourth Corner," and Western's student government hopes to commemorate him yearly in Whatcom County's Blossomtime Festival. Friday's activities begin with a Community Sing at 10:45 a.m. on the Grassy Knoll across from the Viking Union. Led by the Dirty Burro along with accompaniment of balladeers Ted Smith and John Cotton, the sing will feature old favorites of yesteryears. For those who can dodge classes to sing, the Blossomtime Court will appear in regal glory and lend their voices to the community spirit. At 1 pjn., the campus will have a sticky problem on their hands as Marlene Stoll organizes a daffy taffy pull in the Viking Union Lounge. Following this blast, the Mud Bay, Sasquatch and Delmarva Peninsula Funk and Blues Band will lead everyone to Larrabee State Park for a jug-band jam session and picnic at 3 p jn. The fun really begins that night as the Blossomtime Kiddies Parade weaves through Bellingham at 6 p.m. Immediately after the parade, Bellingham Historian Galen Biery will exhibit lantern slides of Old Bellingham in the VU Lounge. Biery has promised a light entertainment fare with slides of Bellingham's Opera House, once the largest west of the Mississippi; the famous breweries of our city; old-time saloons with authentic swinging doors, and pictures of Bellingham's now-buzzing thoroughfares as they were 70 years ago. The grand finale celebration will be kicked off by a repeat performance of the Mud Bay, Sasquatch and Delmarva Peninsula Funk and Blues Band in full costume, singing their Country and Western revelry at 8 p jn. in the new VU Plaza. Also to be featured are authentic square-dance teams and a dance caller, not to mention a surrey: wijii a fringe on top and a horse-drawn hayride. Horses and livery equipment are being supplied by Adam Garrett. . r y An anti-climax will be provided Saturday as Jennifer Marshall's Dirty Dan float enters the Grand Parade at noon, downtown. All day Friday, the community will be offered real cotton candy and a good humor truck, compliments of local firms. A good time is assured for all, according to Miss Phyllis Edwards, organizer of the doin's. Another J-board proposed Western's SDS appealed Thursday for help and student empathy. The group answered questions and accusations, and held their signs high. photo by walker A proposal to establish an intermediate judicial board that would allow students to handle college disciplinary problems t h e m s e l v e s is under consideration by the deans. The proposed board would assume the duties of handling th,e on and off campus violations that the Dean of Men and the Dean of Women currently handle. "The concept of turning over the jurisdiction to peer groups is a major breakthrough," Tim Douglas, director of residence hall programs, said. A Student Judiciary Committee was appointed and charged by James Hitchman, dean of students, to formulate a recommendation for a student j u d i c i a r y board with accompanying jurisdictional d e f i n i tions, procedures, and sanctions. The committee recommended t h a t a co-ed board be established, consisting of eight student members and a faculty advisor. It recommended that the board have jurisdiction in all appeals and referrals from residence hall judicial boards, violations of college regulations outside of residence hall board jurisdiction and violations at college-sponsored functions. The sanctions the board would have would be: all sanctions available to residence hall judicial boards; removal from the hall system; campus activity restriction; loss of right to represent the college in several areas; loss of campus employment; suspension from college; and appropriate re-educative measures as defined by the board's discretion. Keith Guy, assistant director of residence hall programs, outlined the philosophy of the decision to initiate the board proposal. "The administration has maintained that students should be given greater responsibility in their legislative and judicial enrivonment. "Because of. this.belief, the. residence hall judiciary boards were established, and began this year." Guy believed that students have the feeling that they are responsible for the governing of their own behavior. He e n v i s i o n e d the intermediate judiciary board as another step in giving students c o n t r o l of their own environment. 'This campus is way ahead, it looks past the demands and into the implications behind the demands. "We are probably the only state college in the country that has been able to see the realism of doing away with women's hours." Previous to this school year, all women's residence halls had specific hours regulating when they had to be in the hall. This college will probably react favorably to rational requests for change, Guy said. "The intermediate judicial board is the best kind of system -we've come up with yet."
