Women's issues ignored on campus
By Brendan Manning
THE WESTERN FRONT
The Women's Studies
Faculty, a group consisting of
about 25 women from various
Western departments, meets
two times per quarter to discuss
women's issues that it feels are
ignored or difficult to address
at Western.
"We get together, and we discuss
issues at Western that
relate to feminist academic
issues, whether it be feminist
scholarship; how to teach in a
feminist way, which is called
feminist pedagogy; and what
the climate is like on campus,"
said Cynthia Moulds, a member
of the Women's Studies Faculty.
The fact that the group exists
at Western is important
because faculty and staff members,
like Western professor of
history Kathleen Kennedy, said
many people at Western do not
work toward the "climate" con-,
cernmg women's issues.
Kennedy said that in general

placed in Red Square and
Haskal Plaza Monday to
administer citations to any
cyclist not adhering to the dismount
policy.
"With spring quarter more
and more people are riding
their bikes," UP Assistant Chief
Dave Doughty said.

Home Base, Garden
Botanika, Natural Wonders arid
Long's Drugs are liquidating
local stores and, together, laying
off more than 130 workers,
creating employment woes for a
number of students.
Home Base is the greatest
source of layoffs.
Bellingham Home Base store
manager Bill Potts said approximately
90 employees work at
the branch.
Potts declined to comment
further, except to say Home
Base employees will lose their
severance packages if they talk
to the press.

Tuition caps,
increases
scare some
students
By Eric Berto
THE WESTERN FRONT
Western students rallied
Friday in Red Square in opposition
to a cap on tuition increases
proposed by the Washington
state Senate.
According to the proposal,
tuition could increase as much
as 5.2 percent next year and 4.6
percent the following year.
This would bring the average
tuition of an undergraduate on-campus
resident from $2,832
this year to $2,979.26 next year,
and to $3,116.30 for the 2002-03
school year.
For a non-resident student,
tuition would go from $10,356
to $10,894.51 next year and to
$11,352.08 the following year.
These proposed raises exceed
the current growth rate of individual
incomes, said Stacey
Valentin, Associated Students
vice president of Legislative
and Community Affairs.
This wiIJUii§^^§ctJ^siern's
diversity, Valentin said.
Senior James Flynn was one
of the more vocal students
opposing the proposed raises.
"Keep walking if you don't
care about your tuition," Flynn
said to students passing by.
"More tuition means less
diversity," he said.
Students canvassed Red
Square with strips of paper for
those opposed to the tuition
raise to sign.
These strips were given to
representatives from the
University of Washington, who
will link them to form a chain
