Generators
shut down
after lawsuit
By Stephanie Kosonen and
Angela D. Smith
THE WESTERN FRONT
Georgia-Pacific West, Inc. has
until March 15 to create a pollution
plan to continue running the
15 diesel generators currently in
operation, Department of Ecology
officials said.
The company shut down its
controversial generators after
threats from the DOE and the city
of Bellingham, which filed a suit
against them under state nuisance
laws.
'The Word lawsuit doesn 't
sit well with me, and I'll
bet it doesn't sit well with
G-P either.'
Gene Knutson
City Council member
G-P announced it would voluntarily
shut down 25 of its 40 diesel
generators after residents complained
of excessive noise and
smell emanating from the units.
Northwest ^Air Pollution
Authority ^(NWAPA) Director
Jamie Randies said the state-run
organization received more than
100 complaints during the week
G-P brought in new diesel generators.
Department of Ecology officials
called Thursday, threatening to
place a cease-and-desist order,
requiring G-P to shut down generators
put into operation last week.
The DOE will not push the lawsuit
after G-P announced it would
shut down the generators, DOE

Vikings PacWest champs
By James Lyon
THE'WESTERN FRONT
With the PacWest championship
on the line, senior Ryan
Kettman picked a great night to
have the best game of his Viking
career.
Kettman scored a career-high
29 points, shooting 10-of-14
from the field and 7-of- 9 from 3-
point range, as the No. 15
Vikings defeated No. 22 Seattle
Pacific University 89-82
Saturday at Brougham Pavilion
in Seattle.
"Ryan was huge for us
tonight," head coach Brad
Jackson said after the game.
"His leadership and tenacity
mean so much to our team. You
can't ask for anything more from
your captain."
Captain "Kett," as his teammates
call him, knocked down
long range bombs from everywhere
on the court to silence the
SPU fans. After hitting a 3-
pointer in the first half,
Kettman turned to the Falcon
faithful, put one'finger to his
lips and shushed the crowd.
"I just got caught up in the
gamei and""'was just having a lot
of fun," Kettman said. ' I t was
unbelievable. This is the first
time I've won down here since
I've been playing at Western,
and for how much was riding on
the game, it was awesome."

'This was one of our goals all
year long," Jackson said.
'1 really wanted them (the
players) to win this game. To be
PacWest champions is a real
mark achievement."

Western may control tuition increases
By Angela D. Smith
THE WESTERN FRONT
According to two tuition proposals
— one in the state House
of Representatives, one in the
Senate — schools will maintain
local control of tuition, much to
the chagrin of Washington
Student Lobby members.
Governor Gary Locke submitted
a tuition proposal in early
February that also would have
maintained local tuition control
and set a tuition increase cap of
10 percent per year, not to
exceed more than 40 percent
during a six-year period.
Both Senate Bill 5770 and
House Bill 1743 have similar
caps on tuition increases, said
Theo Yu, the governor's budget
assistant for higher education
and drafter of the governor's

Rash of car break-ins
over the weekend
By Karlee Rochon
THE WESTERN FRONT
Jared Yarnish and , Stacey
Wright had their cars broken
into for the second time at
Western last weekend in lot
20R, one of the parking lots for
the Ridgeway complex.
A total of eight students had
their cars broken into. Seven of
the break-ins occurred between
the hours of 4 a.m. and 7:30
a.m. Sunday morning and are
believed to be connected, Sgt.
John Browne of the University
Police said. The first of the
break-ins occurred before 8:18
p.m. on Friday and is believed
to be unrelated, Browne said.
Mostly damage to the vehicles
was reported, Browne said.
Only a few items such as a
spare tire, CDs, two amplifiers,
a speaker and some cash were
reported missing.
Yarnish, a sophomore, had
his 1991 Honda Accord broken
into this weekend for the second
time in a week and a half.
"I understand how 20R is set
up it could be targeted . . . but
twice in one week, it's obviously
a problem spot," he said.
Lot 20R is easily accessible
and a closed off target for
thieves.
"It's been one of our worst
areas because it's got trees, and
there are ways to get in by
foot," Browne said. 'You don't
have to drive."

tuition bill.
The Senate caps tuition at
6.67 percent for two years, after
which a newly created Senate-
House task force will evaluate
the increases and find long-term
solutions for tuition increases.
