Friday, January 28, 2000 The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 111 Issue 6 Bellingham, Washington Water worries halt lakeside development Lake Whatcom residents face sewer system, clean drinking water conflicts By Kristin Bigsby THE WESTERN FRONT On Dec. 2, 1999, the Skagit County Superior Court declared support for an appeal filed by citizen activist Sherilyn Wells and the Clean Water Alliance challenging a permit for an additional sewer interceptor in the Lake Whatcom watershed. Water District 10, which provides water services to residents outside Bellingham city limits, was granted the sewer interceptor permit on conditional terms by Whatcom County in November 1998. The current sewer interceptor and transmission line in place in the watershed is at capacity, Water District 10 Commissioner Deborah Kingsley said. The district has attempted to address the problem of sewage overflows since 1992. Plans for the additional sewer interceptor included support for 60 percent of the remaining development potential in the watershed, Wells said. Currently, 4,684 homes are established in the Lake Whatcom watershed, a drinking water source for more than 66,000 Whatcom County resi- Matt Anderson/The Western Front Jet skis are a contributing factor to the pollution of many lakes, including Lake Whatcom, which is open to recreation of all types. dents. Whatcom County Hearing Examiner Michael Bobbink signed the permit for the sewer interceptor on the basis that denying existing land owners the chance to develop their land - through the denial of sewer services - in order to protect the public interest in the water quality of Lake Whatcom, was • inappropriate. "We don't know how much additional urbanization is too much before water quality degradation becomes a serious and expensive problem," he said in his decision to grant the permit. See LAKE, page 12 Difficulties in new login system frustrate students By Tami Olsen THE WESTERN FRONT A new computer login system, implemented this quarter, is designed to secure the use of Western's computer labs for students only. Despite difficulties in activating accounts, Academic Technology and User Services at Western assures the transition is moving smoothly. "The program is catching on well," said Rob. Galbraith, assistant director of ATUS. "Many students have activated their accounts. This is a big project." Galbraith said the system is designed to assure access is only for students in Western computer labs. In April 1999, greencoats began patrolling the computer labs in Haggard Hall because an increasing number of non-students were using the labs. The current system requires a personal password to access all general university labs. Mike Massey, manager of computer maintenance and consulting services, said more than 7,000 of the estimated 8,000 computer lab users have activated new accounts. "Considering the amount of users, things have gone smoother than expected," Massey said. "The immediate advantage is the reduction of off-the-street folks using the computers," Massey said. "The number of street people and high school students using the computers to Looking at the lake /Igirl takes axlrink sten The Lake \A^ play computer games had dropped considerably." The system not only restricts access to non-students, but provides 25 megabytes of personal storage space for each student, which, Massey said, is equivalent to 15 standard floppy disks. Massey said the storage space has been available, but the new system allows students a way to access it. Activating student accounts is not a perfect process. Mark See LOGIN, pagel2 Security system reassessed after ALF break-in By Meghan Pattee THE WESTERN FRONT Since the Oct. 24 Animal Liberation Front break-in and theft of 41 animals in Miller Hall, security issues have been reconsidered. "From our standpoint, we've made some progress in defining security issues," said Dave Doughty, assistant chief of University Police. Police have been working with the psychology department and the Physical Plant to meet psychology program demands and to determine what parts of and times Miller See ALF, page 12 Western targeted by organization designed to help reduce prejudice By AnnMarie Coe THE WESTERN FRONT Today, 150 Western students, staff and faculty took their first steps toward reducing prejudice, said Pat Fabiano, program director for Prevention and Wellness Services. Those participants, who registered last quarter, will attend a workshop from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. today at St. Luke's Community Health Education Center in Bellingham. The workshop is designed to awaken people's sensitivities to the diversity of their cultures, said Deborah Terry-Hays, chief trainer for the Washington chapter of the National Coalition Building Institute. NCBI is a 25-year-old institution dedicated to reducing prejudices and teaching conflict- management skills, Fabiano said. The NCBI has organized workshops all over the world, including Northern Europe, in places luce police departments and schools. Although the initiative to bring NCBI to Bellingham was the work of Western President Karen Morse, the idea stemmed from Fabiano. She attended a three-day training session in Washington D.C., where NCBI headquarters are located. During the NCBI workshops, the attendees break into groups based on how they identify themselves, Fabiano said. For example, a lesbian may choose to join a group of lesbians who feel they have been oppressed because of their sexual orientation. Participants share stories of See NCBI, page 4 IN THIS ISSUE Western's sharp shooter Jared Stevenson is 81 points away from Western's all-time career scoring record. See story, page 9.
