TUESDAY, February 29,2000 The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 111 Issue 14 Bellingham, Washington Presidential hopeful Bradley visits Bellingham I Renovation Democrat addresses more than 1,000 on health care, education at Bellingham Cruise Terminal pfOIDPtS VU By Kristin Bigsby THE WESTERN FRONT Presidential candidate Bill Bradley spoke to a crowd of more than 1,000 Whatcom County residents Friday night at the Bellingham Cruise Terminal, promoting himself as a liberal Democrat sensitive to the issues of child poverty, universal health care and the environment. Bradley's visit to Bellingham was part of a six-day tour in Washington to gather support for today's primary election. "We want to make sure to put a qualified teacher in every classroom," he said, standing on a platform lined with vibrant blue Bill Bradley signs. "We want to make sure to set a numerical target for the reduction of child poverty. ... We need registration and licensing of all handguns. Politics, as usual, is what can prevent us from achieving those things." He spent Friday campaigning in Seattle, Everett and Mount Vernon before appearing in Whatcom County. Former Washington state Sen. Barney Goltz and Bellingham City Councilman John Watts introduced Bradley as a humble, widely respected human being. "I support Bill Bradley for President because I believe both his solid integrity and visions are needed to find solutions to the major problems facing America," Watts said. "Bill walks his talk and has been doing so for years." Bradley, a six-foot-five-inch former basketball star and senator of New Jersey, towered over the supportive crowd in the upper level of the ferry terminal. Spectators on the first floor of the building could not see the candidate, but he broadcasted his speech through a microphone for all to hear. Twenty-five enthusiastic supporters stood behind Bradley as he spoke, including Western's Associated Students President Victor Cox and Vice President for Legislative and Community Affairs David Toyer. Bradley emphasized the need for "a politics that tells the truth." He said money has been setting the American political agenda for far too long. "That's why what we need is a cold mountain stream to run through Washington D.C., taking the corruption with it and restoring reform to the people of this country," he said.

Bradley extended his theme of verbal warfare against democratic opponent Al Gore, citing a lack of initiative on his part to propose programs for health care and education. After his speech, Bradley made his way downstairs to shake hands with supporters. Secret Service men surrounded the candidate and kept the excited crowd at a distance. "I want to tap the energy and idealism of Western in order to get this campaign moving in its last weekend," Bradley said, standing behind a velvet rope separating him from the crowd. "I'm so glad so many young people were here," Bradley said after his speech as he worked his way down a line of outstretched hands. "I think they're responding to my message that we can make a difference in the future of our country." If elected, Bradley said he See BRADLEY, page-4 Ridge residents surveyed about possibile new ATM Peter Terrill Simecki/The Western Front Plantenberg grabs his cash from the Miller Hall ATM. By TerriU Simecki THE WESTERN FRONT Western students living in the Ridgeway Complex have a chance to take control of their fiscal futures. Monday, David Toyer, Associated Students vice president for Legislative and Community Affairs and a Ridgeway resident, mailed a survey to each of the Ridge's approximately 1,235 students (39 percent of Western's 3,200 campus residents) asking them if they want an automatic teller machine. With the survey, Toyer hopes to find out if enough support for a cash machine on the Ridge exists, because most ATM service providers require a minimum of 3,000-4,000 transactions per month for their machines to remain productive. "It's difficult to estimate how much need or how much demand there is per month," Toyer said. Toyer said Ridge residents spend their money locally at the Ridgeway Market and on laundry cards, and many catch the Whatcom Transportation Authority's west shuttle on Highland Drive to Haggen. At least 20 people personally asked Toyer to find out about placing a cash machine on the Ridge, and he said he rarely gets requests about specific issues. "I haven't really got any requests from anywhere besides Ridgeway," Toyer said. "Nash and Mathes and Edens are pretty well off." Students can access two US Bank ATMs in the Viking Union area, one in the VU and one in the Associated Students Bookstore, and two Whatcom Educational Credit Union ATMs, one outside Miller Hall and one inside Arntzen Hall. The two US Bank cash machines charge non-members $1.50 per transaction while the See ATM, page 4 relocations By Craig Kanaya THE WESTERN FRONT The $22.4 million Viking Union renovation broke ground earlier this month, causing some inconveniences and relocation of services. "It has been a real challenge," Viking Union director Jack Smith said. "The staff and students put in a lot of hours to make it go as smooth as possible. I am impressed with the students' ability to adapt and accommodate the change." Most services, such as the Outdoor Center and KUGS 89.3-FM, have moved to temporary locations in High Street Hall. Jason Guerrero, KUGS hip-hop director, said he will need to get used KUGS' new office on High Street. "It's cold and cramped," Guerrero said. "Maybe after a month I'll get used to it."
