The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 115 Issue 2 Bellingham, Washington
Winning women look forward to Central Western's expansion plan
accused of being vague,
a potential traffic concern
By Angela D. Smith
THE WESTERN FRONT
Western's expansion plan was
criticized Thursday for possibly
creating traffic problems and for
being "vague" by community
members.
The public hearing on
Western's Institutional Master
Plan at Bellingham City Hall
began with controversy.
Second-time planning commission
member Nick Zaferatos
stepped down because of concerns
about a possible conflict of interest
referred to in a Jan. 11 planning
commission work session.
"In order to avoid any possibility
of complicating the fair hearing
process and in respect to the community's
tremendous investment
of time and effort, I have decided
to step down from hearing this
matter," Zaferatos said, maintaining
that his association with the
commission has been legal and
without conflict.
In her introduction, Western
President Karen Morse addressed
Western's need to accommodate
an "onslaught of students."
The Higher Education
Coordinating Board estimates
that an additional 22,000 full-time
equivalent students, a total
of 48,000, will attend baccalaureate
institutions by 2013. Western
plans to take about 12,000 FTE,
or about 14,000 students total.

A spray painted whiteboard,
meant to express area residents'
frustration about water stoppages
resulting from the construction
on Bill McDonald
Parkway, was chained to a local
rental agency's sign.
Dennelle Emry, Western student
and resident of the 808
apartments located at 808 21st
St., said water service at her
apartment complex was cut off
on Jan. 6 between 3:30 p.m. and
6:30 p.m.
' I t was right during dinner
time which made for a big inconvenience,"
Emry said. "It was
extremely frustrating not having
anyone to talk to about the situation,
and it was annoying not
being informed about what was
going on."
Kelly McWilliams, property
manager for the Son-Rise
Property Management, which
oversees the 808s, said she
believed this was the third water
service problem resulting from
the construction on Bill
McDonald Parkway.

Associated Students representatives
continued their fight
to reduce the cost of textbooks

Protest forced out of U.S. to Canada
Protesters call for
American Indian
activist's release
ByPaulOlund
THE WESTERN FRONT
Prompted by threats from the
American border patrol Tuesday,
dozens of protesters relocated to
the Canadian side of the
International Peace Arch to continue
a rally supporting the
release of political activist
Leonard Peltier.
Hundreds of people gathered
in an attempt to show support
for the Native American activist
who has been in jail since 1975.
Tribal Youth Movements, a
group of Canadian tribal members
that protects aboriginal
rights, organized the protest.

'I had to finish my shower
by filling up a Brita container
to filter out the junk
and heating it up in the

received about a dozen phone
calls from tenants upset about
the non-existing water service on
Jan. 6.
