Martin, 41, is scheduled for arraignment at 8:30 a.m. Jan. 21 in Bellingham Municipal Court He was arrested and released Dec. 30 by Bellingham Police after being stopped by a store security guard outside Ennen's Food Store. Martin was quoted in Tuesday's Bellingham Herald as saying the incident was simply a stupid mistake. "It was a question of bad circumstances and a mixture of stupidity," Martin said. The Herald reported that Martin said he stopped at the store to purchase groceries and put the cigarettes into his shirt pocket when he was about to drop other items. Martin said he then forgot about the cigarettes, paid for the other items and left the store. He was stopped outside the store by the guard, and store officials called Bellingham Police. According to the Jan. 7 Herald article, the officer who answered the call and issued the arrest citation did not recognize Martin, and Bellingham Deputy Police Chief Duane Schenck said the case would not have been handled differently if he had. Martin said he talked with store managers and that he believed the charges would be dismissed, but Ennen's security chief Dave Martin spoke otherwise. "That's his feeling and his feeling only. We're treating this like we would anything else," Dave Martin said. Western Vice President for External Affairs Albert Froderberg declined to comment when contacted by the Front. The University is expected to release a formal statement about the incident today. Russ Martin was hired last February from a pool of more than 50 applicants.

Gardner proposes 14 percent increase in tuition at Western By Sam Kitchell campus government editor Students at Western Washington University will face an approximate 14 percent tuition increase next fall if Gov. Gardner's proposed supplemental budgetpasses the legislature's 1992 session. The increase would be added to an already approved 5 percent inflation increase and add about $115 per quarter to tuition and fees. Gardner's proposal for tuition increases comes as an alternative plan to another $2.9 million budget cut similar to the one that took place Dec. 1,1991. The proposal is designed to help balance the state's $900 million deficit. It also includes the use of the $260 million state "rainy day" fund, the cancellation of projected salary increases for 1993 and miscellaneous tax increases. Western's proposed tuition increases will be joined by increases at Washington's other higher education public schools. The proposal asks for a 19 percent increase at the University of Washington, and a staggering 30 percent increase at The Evergreen State College.

Community colleges would face 11 percent increases. Disproportionate increases in tuition are not a new phenomena. According to a Higher Education Coordinating Board graph, tuition and fees haverisen 107 percentsince 1981- 82, while total cost of attendance (tuition and fees, room and board, plus books andnecessities) haverisen only 73 percent. Vice President of External Affairs Albert Froderberg said that the increases are likely to be implemented, but the amount of the increase is will rely on many variables. "It is dependant upon all sorts of factors," Froderberg said. "Whether or not the 'rainy day' fund is used is one of them. It is also dependant on. the next revenue forecast that will come out in February and March because the legislature and governor can' t spend more money than they are forecasted to have. The state is required by the Constitution to have a balanced budget It's not like the federal government." Froderberg saidhigher education is the most vulnerable areaofthestate budget among the three major state "The legislature has very little flexibility in making cuts in K-12 because it is protected by the Constitution," Froderberg said. "Areas of social and health services are better protected than we are. They are client driven to some extent. We are the least well protected by law of the three, so higher ed is the one most used to balance the budget from time to time." Froderberg said the amount of financial aid will be increased to help those in need. "We will find a way to target those for whom this is the straw that broke the camel's back," Froderberg said. "Financial aid has always been tied to tuition and I don't see why that should change." Associated Students President Mark Aaserud said he feels the increased load on students is unfair. "Students are paying more for tuition as it is," Aaserud said. "Access is a big problem. It takes longer for students to graduate now. Only 15 percent graduate in four years. So not only are people paying more for tuition, they are paying for a longer period of time." Aaserud said the increases will Please see Tuition Increase, page 5
