Prosecutors imbibe alcohol
By Andrew J. Linth
THE WESTERN FRONT
Imagine going to a place
where the spirits are free,
d r u n k e n n e s s is accepted
and the waiter is a
Washington State Patrol
officer. Sounds crazy, doesn
' t it? Every month, the
Washington State Patrol
provides an event t h a t does
just this.
'People always want to
know how many (alcoholic
beverages) they can have.
We can tell them, but that
doesn't mean they should
be driving.'
Ken Van Kooten
Breath test supervisor
Last Friday, volunteers
Peter Dworkin, Ann Stodola
and Travis Phelps of the
Whatcom County
Prosecutor's Office particip
a t e d in an alcohol test
designed to measure how
alcohol enters the blood
stream.
"How much a person can
drink is determined by their
weight and gender," said
WSP Breath Test Section
Supervisor Rod Gullberg.
Using a special equation,
t h e volunteers had their
body weight and gender cal-

By Jessica Blair
THE WESTERN FRONT
A forum of about 60 people
gathered before a community
panel at noon Saturday at The
Majestic to discuss ways of creating
a safer Bellingham for
pedestrians and bicyclists.
They also learned about ways
other communities have prevented
urban sprawl.
'As the campus expands
southward, we're going to
need to be able to transport
ourselves from the
north dorms to the south
end of campus.'

Whatcom Transit Authority

Independent consultant and

said the goal of the forum is to
gain a variety of perspectives
from concerned citizens.
"There are a number of people
who think we should be
moving faster...to learn about
what's going on in.other places
and what would be applicable
here," Schiller said.
He also raised the question of

Vice
provost
Symes
resigns
By Tim Hossain
THE WESTERN FRONT
Ken Symes, Vice Provost for
International and Extended
Programs and Director of
Summer Session, said he will
step down effective Dec. 31.
Symes will return to the
English department as faculty
in faU 2001.
The move comes after
Western announced plans to
restructure the provost's office.
Symes was offered a new position
as Vice Provost for Faculty
Affairs, but declined the offer.
"The new position would
mainly deal with policy and procedures
for faculty matters,"
Symes said. '1 wasn't comfortable
with it. I got to the point
now with administration that I
didn't deal with students. I
dealt with faculty that dealt
with students."
Provost Andrew Bodman said
he had an extensive discussion
with Symes before his resignation.
"I have reluctantly accepted
his decision to resign," Bodman
said.
"He has served the university
with distinction and I know the
Western community will join
me in applauding his many
efforts in the areas of undergraduate
education, and
extended and international programs,"
Bodman said.
A replacement has not yet
been named for Symes.
