By Mary Flynn
THE WESTERN FRONT
Ten level three sex offenders' live in
Bellingham, according to a Bellingham
Police Department release. Some of these
offenders live as close as a few blocks from
campus and according to the police department's
rating system, are most likely to
offend again.
Gregory Richard Rice. is one of those
offenders. He lives not far from campus at
the Aloha Motel. Rice was convicted of sexual
exploitation of a minor, assault, child

pornography and unlawful imprisonment.
He has served his time, but according to
the department of corrections, he is a danger
to the community and at a high risk
for reoffending. When contacted by The
Western Front, Rice was unwilling to give
a comment on his present condition.
Though it may be surprising to many
that criminals convicted of such heinous
crimes are out of prison, Lt. Dae Jamison
of the Bellingham Police Department
explained they have done the time given
to them.
"These people have done their maximum
sentence," Jamison said. "The worst
offenders are in what we call civil commit

Western may increase parking fines
By Jennifer L. Jennings
THE WESTERN FRONT
Parking rates may increase by as
much as 20 percent by next fall, said
Stacey Valentin, Associated Students
vice president for Legislative &
Community Affairs.
The increase would cover
Western's financial burden of purchasing
Samish Twin Drive-in
Theater to use it for extra parking
space.
"The estimated 20 percent would
be used to cover Western's debt in
purchasing the twins theatre,"
Valentin said. "It has to be presented
to the administration [still].
They're the final say."
In early February, Western
entered a three year lease-purchase
agreement with Samish Twin Drive-in
Theater. The lot will open up 750
new parking spots for students and
