pi. TUESDAY, February 1,2000 Western Washington University Volume 111 Issue 7 Bellingham, Washington From skiing to Star Wars, A.S. club fair has variety By Christian Knight THE WESTERN FRONT Democrats, jugglers, surfers and peacekeepers are just a few of the estimated 30 to 40 groups that will exhibit their passions at the Associated Students' Clubs and Organizations Fair from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday in the Viking Union fifth floor coffee shop. Activities Center coordinator Lisa Rosenberg said the fair is intended to encourage student interest in Western's 110 clubs. "The fair really reveals an avenue for students to do what they've always wanted to do, but never had the opportunity," Rosenberg said. Rosenberg said the fair also encourages students to form their own clubs. The fair, which began in 1992, generated enough interest and requests from students and clubs that it has returned for eight consecutive years. Twenty-eight of the 110 clubs are recreationally based and centered on anything from skiing and fly-fishing to Jedi martial arts training. Eleven religious groups compose 10 percent of Western's clubs and special interest accounts for 20 clubs. "There is probably a club for every niche of person on campus," Rosenberg said. More clubs are currently forming. "Last week alone we recognized five new clubs," Amy Finkbonner, vice president for Student Activities, said. Eighteen clubs formed fall See CLUBS, page 3 Students donate time to mend Whatcom Falls Volunteers from Western's L.E.A.D. program and Greenway help restore park By Craig Kanaya THE WESTERN FRONT Sixty volunteers from Learning Environment Action Discovery and Greenway spent two hours on Saturday making sure last June's pipeline expk> sion does not leave a permanent scar on Whatcom Falls Park. "Events like this have been a way for the community to heal," said Emma Spenner, L.E.A.D. co-director. "Restoration has played a part in the community healing." L.E.A.D., a student-run organization, coordinates service-learning projects on behalf of community-based environmen-. tal action. "Service learning is taking volunteering one step further," Spenner said. "The experience of volunteering is integrated with a student's degree. You gain and give at the same time." The volunteers filled in the open space just above the stone bridge waterfall viewpoint with shrubs and groundcover. This section of the forest has been badly trampled in the past. "Soil that is not covered will wash away to clay or rock," L.E.A.D. project coordinator Angela Smith/The Western Front Emma Spenner, co-director of L.E.A.D, cuts blackberry brambles at Whatcom Falls Park. Jason Darling said. "Only small plants will be able to live there. Without plants, there is not much there to support life. It's-what everything else feeds on." Twelve L.E.A.D. volunteers enjoyed the beauty of Whatcom Falls Park and got their hands dirty planting shrubs. "It's a very rewarding experience," said volunteer Nikole Coleman. "The volunteers today are improving the parks for the whole community." L.E.A.D. volunteers Spring Deboer and Amber Pearson said they believe volunteering has See FALLS, page 4 Bicyclists take to the street to stop pollution By Meghan Pattee THE WESTERN FRONT Critical Mass bicyclists braved the cold and took to the streets Friday night to bring awareness to bicycle rights and safety. "It's hard to understand that bikers do have rights when they're individuals, but when they are a full force it's easier to remember," Seth Vidana said. "When we are in a big flock people say 'woah, we better watch out.'" According to its Web site, titled "How to Make a Critical Mass," Critical Mass is an "unorganized coincidence" and a way to bring people together in a celebratory reclaiming of public space, not protest. Disorganization promotes freedom and undercuts hierarchy, leaving people free to ride for various reasons, according to the site. Some ride to promote bicycle transportation to fight pollution, while others seek the respect of motorists and city planners. It is a worldwide event, but Friday was the first "coincidence" of a Critical Mass in Bellingham. "The title has a lot of meaning to (us) as individuals because we are sort of threatened on the road, but when we coalesce we have a lot more power and consume a whole lane," Western Western taps outside resources to help bolster campus security DB.y, K'f.re.llI-l.yT rC' lui /dl Twiomr^tkh fnr a n ima l rocaarnh AXZoa+om THE WESTERN FRONT In the wake of the Oct. 24 Animal Liberation Front Miller Hall break-in, Western officials are seeking outside input on strengthening the university's security. Ronald Kleinknecht, Western dean of the College of Arts and Sciences met with Susan Adler, executive director of the Washington Association for Biomedical Research Friday to discuss future security and awareness issues. Kleinknecht and Assistant Chief of University Police Dave Doughty are working with Adler to review changes to the structural security and a campus awareness of the Miller Hall animal research faculties. . Using WABR services and a network of institutions targeted for animal research, Western can use outside resources to create its own security program. "They (WABR) bring in outside people like us to talk about particular incidents," Doughty said. "They meet one to two times a year to discuss security issues." Through WABR, Doughty met with representatives from the Seattle Police, US Marshal's office and FBI to brainstorm security techniques. The discussion with Doughty and the other representatives included the need to train and have all staff assume responsibility for the safety of their workplace, Adler said.
