TUESDAY, July 31, 2001 The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 117 Issue 6 Bellingham, Washington Vehicle Research Institute to display Viking 30 By Maureen McGraw THE WESTERN FRONT Western's Vehicle Research Institute will display the Viking 30, its most recent experimental hybrid car, at the American Le Mans Series in Portland, Ore. "It's the most work-intensive, most ambitious car we've ever built," VRI founder Michael Seal said. The American Le Mans Series is the North American version of the 24 hour race in Le Mans, France, which dates back to 1923. The event is three days long with the Grand Prix of Portland race on the third day. Jason Nelson, a recent Western graduate, said the trip is important to him because he is looking for a job, and companies have a lot of recruiters at events like the Le Mans Series. Working in the VRI is a "real world experience," Nelson said. Going to Portland is good experience and gathers publicity for the VRI and its workers. The VRI team has been working on the Viking 30 for about two years, Seal said. The Viking 30 has "extensive use of carbon fiber," he said. The transmission is also made out of carbon fiber to keep the weight of the car down. Transmissions have traditionally been made from iron, or more recently, from aluminum, Seal said. The jet black viking 30 is nine feet long, four feet high, and weighs 429 pounds. Co-captains Nelson and Jai Prasad and club members Ben Erickson, Graham Fothering-ham, Rob Goivenale, Richard Lawton, Chris Small and Mike Zaccardo will be displaying the Viking 30 August 3-5 in Portland, Ore. at the Portland International Raceway. The VRI members will be displaying the Viking 30 in the paddock area of the raceway. A booth will be set up in front of the car for participants to get information about Western's one-of-a-kind vehicle, said Western junior Chris Small. High schoolers flock to Western for Business Week High school students from across Washington ' came to Western to attend Business Week, a seminar for business- minded high school students that continues through Saturday. Seminar attendees are residing in the Edens North and Mathes Hall residences. ^•Piilla ^^^IfeiiS IPSjfl BPiP8iS IBs ^<£Mi Km phi £0FZ£'^£ imw IStfi sp ?;^^--r-*v-'\:: # & £ • • ' • • ^''.^^HIHP^ ~ 1J* Taber Streur/ The Western Front Insurance plans may be required to cover most contraceptives By Jessica Sparks THE WESTERN FRONT Western's Student Health Center will not be changing its birth control prices if the Washington State Insurance Commissioner's proposal to require all insurance plans to cover prescription contraception is approved. "We're glad more women will have the option to get contraception," said Emily Gibson, Student Health Center medical director.

"We obtained building and wetland permits in February." Construction of a new dorm was postponed from previous plans for construction in 1995. "We resurrected (the idea) two years ago, but it has since been abandoned because the design would be 12 years old by time of completion," Hart said.
