"western front Vol. LXI1 no. 10 Western Washington State College Bellingham, Washington 98225 Tuesday, Oct. 14, 1969 10c Legislature axes Lakewood project The AS legislature has dumped a college offer to bond and build a $400,000 r e c r e a t i o n a l facility at Lakewood, the student-owned property on Lake Whatcom. The student legislators slammed the door on the three-year-old improvement project when the college asked the Associated Students to sign over the deed to the lakeside acreage for bonding purposes. A few of the legislators feared that student control over the Lakewood property would go out the window along with the deed. John Ward, administrative assistant to the AS president, told Tuesday's legislature meeting that the students should keep the property in view of rising land values and develop the property themselves. Rejection of the college offer was received with mixed reactions by officials on campus last week. John Miles, Viking Union program director, called the AS legistature decision "tragic'' Miles said that thousands had already been spent on the $400,000 student-originated improvement project in its architectural and schematic stages. "If the deed had been signed over, construction on the faculty might have been underway within several months," Miles said. Under Phase I of the drafted project, a lodge would have been built housing a full-time caretaker's quarters, a lab for the Freshwater Institute, and student lounge areas. AS President Al Doan told The Western Front that the project was so old that students might want something else on the property and "maybe nothing at all." It is common knowledge that several student clubs which use the lakeside property want to retain its retreat-like qualities. Current facilities at Lakewood include a couple of old cabins, docks, barbeque pits and a crowded boathouse built in 1964. Improvements on Lakewood, student-owned property on Lake Whatcom, have been halted due to a lack of funds. -photo by kelly Miles told The Front that Lakewood will soon lose its primitive surroundings since the Sudden Valley housing development owns property to within two feet of the boathouse. Joe Nusbaum, college business manager, said that he viewed the student legislature rejection with little concern. He emphasized that the college has always looked upon Lakewood as a student facility and that never has there been intentions to use the land for anything other than recreation. The inclusion of a lab for the Freshwater Institute on the proposed improvement plans was strictly a student idea. If the students choose to further develop Lakewood, they will have to devise new means for funding the project. AS President Al Doan said that possible revenue from the proposed faculty-student pub could enable the Associated Students to legally bond property. "We just haven't decided what we want to do with the Lakewood acreage at this time," Doan said. "I'm sure we'll have to approach the student body to explore the best possible avenues." Tomorrow's moratorium activities announced The Vietnam Moratorium, affecting college campuses and businesses across the nation, will jolt Western and the Bellingham community tomorrow. At Western "the main emphasis is to get students not to go to class," Dr. Bernard Weiner, Free University Co-ordinator, said. W e s t e r n ' s moratorium committee also hopes to involve Bellingham businessmen in the "moratorium on business-as-usual. Last Friday volunteers a p p r o a c h e d Bellingham businessmen in an attempt to persuade them to close their businesses for tomorrow's moratorium. Many faculty members are c o - o p e r a t i n g with the m o r a t o r i um committee's suggestions. Some instructors are participating in encouraging their students to participate in "the informational and protest activities on campus." Others, who will hold class, hopefully will discuss the war issues. Many faculty members have signed a statement supporting "a full and speedy withdrawal of American troops" from Vietnam, which appears on page six of this issue. Copies of the faculty endorsement are being sent to President Nixon and Senators Magnuson and Jackson. Five Northwest Colleges will suspend classes, including Seattle Pacific College, Fort Wright College, Pacific Lutheran University, and Whitworth College and its allied school for women. "In Seattle, peace supporters will march to the downtown Westlake Mall after a rally at the Public Library Plaza. Names of Washington servicemen killed in the war will be read," the Bellingham Herald reported last Friday. The U n i v e r s i t y of Washington is planning a candlelight parade for tonight. At Western, a full day of activities has been announced by George Hartwell, activities commissioner. 9 a . m . to 12:30 p.m.: Leaflets and petitions will be given to volunteers in the VU Lounge (many more volunteers are needed) and individuals will be assigned to city-zoning sections for community work. A final schedule of events will be announced at this time. 10 a.m. - 12:30 pjn.: The Student American Civil Liberties Union chapter will conduct a draft teach-in, VU Lounge. 1 pjn.: The rally will begin with the "Rationale for a Vietnam Moratorium," by Dr. Bernard Weiner, master of ceremonies, VU Lounge. Al Doan, AS president, will address the student body. SDS may make a statement at this time, and some Vietnam Veterans may give a testimonial against the war. 1:30 pjn.: Poet Robert Sund, a clergyman from Lynden, will give some poetry readings, VU Lounge. 2 pjn.: Two Vietnam films will be shown, VU Lounge. The government's view of the Vietnam situation is A Nation Builds Under Fire, starring John Wayne, Music Auditorium. The anti-war view, entitled Vietnam Dialogue, featuring David Schoenbrun, of the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), will follow. 3 p.m.: Ken Kirkpatrick, regional director of the AFSC, will be the keynote speaker with "Vietnam: The Crucial Issues," Red Square (Music Auditorium if weather is bad). Later in the evening a candlelight parade from the college to the Federal Building will be held, providing a parade permit is granted this morning. People are being asked to write a letter urging American withdrawal of troops from Vietnam, and to bring it to the Federal Building. A protest or silent vigil will be held there. I n response to the moratorium Academic Dean Robert Brown said in a note to faculty members: "Since many students will be attending the events noted above, instructors are reminded of the class attendance statement on page 30 of the catalogue, 'Class attendance is required at the discretion of the instructor.' "In answer to many inquiries, I have interpreted this statement as indicating that decisions about the relative merits of formal as opposed to extramural instruction are clearly the responsibility of the individual instructor." Trustees approve College of Ethnic Studies The Board of Trustees unanimously approved giving the program of ethnic studies college status last Thursday. Now the College of Ethnic Studies (CES), the new College will join Fairhaven and Huxley Colleges under Western's cluster college concept. At last month's meeting of the .Board,, a program .of. ethnic.. studies was approved, but the Trustees dissapproved a motion to make it the third cluster college. Virtually a college except for the name, the program status of the new College was decided on at that meeting, obstensibly because it was believed that a college would foster segregation and cause, student unrest. With President Flora and many other members of the college community backing the college proposal, the first d e c i s i o n caused great disappointment. The Trustees had considered the proposal since their last meeting, and after examining the concept, decided to give it college status. The program for the 1969-70 academic year will involve 50 freshmen and a faculty of four. Field experiences, work study programs, seminars and tutorials will be included in the College. By the 1971-72 academic year, the curriculum is scheduled to be developed and staff increased to permit enrollment of a maximum of 400 students. The upper limit was made on enrollment to permit the greatest amount of flexibility in organization. Any Western student may enroll in a CES course, as an elective or toward a minor in ethnic studies. Courses, leading to a degree in ethnic studies will also be offered.
