"Ti?cn The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 116 Issue 8 Bellingham, Washington Parking lot surveillance increases By Carly Barrett THE WESTERN FRONT Increased surveillance of Western's parking lots may reduce the unusually high number of car prowls this year said, Dave Doughty, assistant chief of University Police. "We're going to concentrate more attention on all the parking lots around Western by applying more undercover work, such as placing officers in the corners of the parking lots and inside of bushes," Doughty said. Twenty-eight reports of car theft have been reported since the beginning of spring quarter. The number of car prowls committed this year on Western's campus has surpassed last year's record of 72. Despite the rising numbers of car prowl incidents and complaints of students who feel the lighting around campus is insufficient, UP have not yet decided whether more lighting will be placed around the cam-pus parking lots. Stephanie Kosonen/ The Western Front Under doctor's orders, Cindy Rawls wears a mask to alleviate respiratory problems caused by construction dust. Students sickened, AS renovates See PROWLER, Page 5 vices By Ken Jager THE WESTERN FRONT Last week, Associated Students Bookstore employees sent a letter to Gayle Shipley, director of environmental ser-at Western, asking for the bookstore to be shut down until "it became a safe working environment." Breathing problems, coughing and eye irritation were among the symptoms bookstore employees experienced due to residual dust from the construction of the Viking Union, the bookstore's temporary location. The bookstore moved into the VU so the permanent location be remodeled as part of the VU renovation project. "We never should have moved into this building until it had been properly cleaned," AS Bookstore manager Dave MacAuley said. Bookstore cashier Lauren Rosenthal, who is the one who initiated the letter to Shipley, is a strong proponent of shutting the bookstore down. "Everyone is getting sick," See BOOKSTORE, Page 3 AS representative responsibilities unclear, students say By Emily Christianson THE WESTERN FRONT Western students say they support what the Associated Students board of directors has done during the past year, but they just don't know what it is. "I remember at freshman orientation they were there," freshman Megan Bloom said. "I think that's the only time I've seen them." "It seems like because (Western's) such a big school it's hard to get recognition, and it's hard to get connected," freshman Kim Larson said. Stacey Valentin, vice president for Legislative and Community Affairs, said she facilitated a successful "Get out the Vote" campaign fall quarter by visiting political science classes and dining halls and setting up tables in Red Square to encourage students to register to vote. Valentin said she worked closely with Josh Dyck of the U.S. Students Association to meet their goal. The USSA participated in door knocking and telephone calls to students, while jointly advertising with signs and mailings with the AS. "I saw lots of signs about voting during voting time, trying to get people to register," junior Ed Berschauer said, adding he did not know which organizations were involved with posting the signs. » In combination with the signs, the' efforts of the two groups were awarded with the "Outstanding Campaign" for a non-member school by the USSA and were recognized by The Seattle Times and King 5 News as contributing significantly to the success of Sen. Maria Cantwell's senate race. Valentin said she also followed through on a 'Viking Day at Olympia" idea she had hoped to implement when she became a vice president. The students used personal Softball wins PacWest By Sonja Rose THE WESTERN FRONT The Western Women's softball team swept Saint Martin's College in a doubleheader last weekend for the PacWest West Division title. With the wins comes the opportunity for Western to host the PacWest tournament this weekend. Game one of the double-header proved to be a nail-biter, ending in a 1- 0 shutout of Saint Martin's. Game two was no less dramatic, as the Vikings notched a 4-3 come-from-behind victory. "I think we did really well today," senior Dani Puz said. "We had a lot of pressure on us, and I think we fought hard." Sophomore Amanda Grant pitched her 17th complete game of the season allowing six hits, no walks and zero Stephanie Kosonen/ The Western Front r u n s a n ( i striking out four batters in Sarah Diamond pitched five innings for the Vikings. game one. The game proved to be a pitcher's duel for both teams. The Vikings were mired in a scoreless tie until the fifth inning, when senior Darcy Taylor reached first base on a fielding error. Puz advanced Taylor to second with a bunt to the first baseman. Freshman Dani Deyette hit a sacrifice bunt to advance Taylor to third. A managerial move to pinch hit freshman Jodie Rock for freshman Charity Harmeson proved to be the defining moment of the game. Rock flew out to center field but the hit was deep enough, as Taylor scored on a throwing error. The unearned run proved enough for the Vikings 1-0 victory as Grant silenced the Saint Martin's batters for the remaining two innings. "I wanted to make sure I was challenging the hitters every single at bat and giving them my best stuff," Grant said. "Just keeping them off balance."
