Rally held in protest of ground war Desert Storm's 'final phase' brings 200 to Federal Building By Noelle Kompkoff staff reporter Approximately 200 people rallied at the Federal Building at noon on Sunday; the day after ground forces moved into Iraq and Kuwait as part of Operation Desert Storm. The protest was organized by the group Citizens for Peace in the Middle East as an emergency response to the potential beginning of the ground war. The protest centered around a speak-out and music. Stephanie Moe, a senior at Western, said the participants were too disappointed in the national state of affairs to participate in any civil disobedience activities. "It was a support session," Moe said. "People have told us we don't have the right to say what we're saying; but I see us as a good example of American (values) truth and justice. I feel we're more patriotic than the people who support the war." David Quiggle, a former Western student, said, "Ifeelweareana'donalminority. There are about as many pro-war activists as anti-war activists. Seventy percent (of the American people) don't know. If information was given truthfully, that would be changed quickly." KenDistler, coordinator of the Bellingham chapter of Citizens In Solidarity with People in El Salvador (CISPES), said he agrees with this sentiment. Distler, a Vietnam veteran, commented," the deceptions of Vietnam were very well documented in the Pentagon Papers. It's frustrating. If people say Bush is right, they haven't come to terms with Vietnam." Kevin Lash, a freshman at Whatcom Community College, said about half of the protesters were students. Although protesters had taken different directions over the past few weeks, Lash said he felt unity among the protesters. "Everyone was working on different projects...(somehow) they came together," Lash said. When she spoke of the protest, Darcy Alexandra, coordinator at the Peace Resource Center, said, "I'm not losing courage — I can't lose courage. There's so much work to be done, (so many) things we need to discuss. We need to educate, share information and keep speaking out." Dave Rubert/The Western Front Caryn Simmons and Neil Saunders, both of Bellingham, hold signs outside the Federal Building on Sunday in protest of the beginning of the ground war in the Persian Gulf. Financial aid director leaves Western to join College Board By Art Hughes staff reporter On his last official day as director of Student Financial Resources, Ronald Martinez said he feels fortunate to have been at Western for the past six years. "Clearly, it was a good move," he said Friday. "It was an opportunity to grow significantly." Martinez is leaving Western to take a position on the College Board, a private corporation in San Jose, Calif. His new job will be to provide educational services to high schools and universities. "It's a chance to have an impact on a greater number of students," Martinez said. The College Board develops and administers Scholastic Aptitude Tests, organizes the Advance Placement Program, and designs and processes financial aid applications. Martinez came to Western in 1985 from the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colo. As director of financial resources at Western, Martinez was responsible for coordinating operations between financial aid and other offices, overseeing scholarships, student employment and volunteer andcommunity services and applying for federal and state funds to disperse to students. One of the challenges Martinez said he faced during his time at Western was how to better serve the, student in the era of educational demands and funding cuts. Martinez said the amount of financial aid processed has doubled from $10 million in 1985 to $20 million last year. Martinez said the increase, coupled with the unfavorable funding policies of the Reagan administration, turned financial aid in a "bureaucratic nightmare." "We were working as bureaucrats instead of student service people," he said. Because the financial aid counselors were spending so much time doing paperwork, they were forced to spend less time with the students. Martinez said it took a conscious effort to turn the situation around. Programs had to be initiated to free up the aid counselors' time. One program that was started since Martinez became director involves verification of information on financial aid applications. The officepreviously selected one-third of all applications for verification. Butchecking 2,500-3,000 applications required a considerable amount of time. Now, under a new process, a more intensive documentation is done on the applications, but only a sample group size of 250-300 applications are selected. A more thorough verification is done for each application and the office is still relieved of a lot of time-consuming work. When Martinez first came to See MARTINEZ, page 2
