Front Western Washington University Volume 116 Issue 2 Bellingham, Washington 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 See WOMEN, Page 5 Scattered sun breaks Stephanie Kosonen/ The Western Front Sunbeams cast silver light onto Bellingham Bay Monday afternoon through a cloud break.

Stephanie Kosonen/ The Western Front 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 See TUITION, Page 6 IN THIS ISSUE Ride or die on Galbraith Mountain Galbraith Mountain offers challenges even for the seasoned biker.
