TUESDAY, July 24, 2001 The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 117 Issue 5 Bellingham, Washington Lummi tribe members protest shooting death Photo by Brendan Manning The Western Front Members of the Lummi tribe sit in front of The Whatcom County Courthouse protesting the shooting death of a tribal member who was shot five times by a Whatcom County Sheriff deputy July 7. The death was ruled a justifiable homicide and the deputy returned to work July 20. Fairhaven offers new course By Taylor Phifer THE WESTERN FRONT For 20 incoming freshmen, the pressures of being away from home, meeting new people and getting started on a higher education will be alleviated by a new course offered through Fairhaven College this fall. Our Place In The Planet is a 15 credit, intensive course where students will be in close contact with each other throughout the quarter, exploring natural and social settings in the Northwest. "One of the issues is helping incoming students through the first part of their college experience," said Jackie McClure, admissions coordinator for Fairhaven College. "This is an ideal chance for these 20 students to get tight." John Bower, biologist and professor of the new course, said the class will explore social responsibility and justice for one another and the environment, as well as helping new students get acclimated to the college. "Fairhaven is a strange place," Bower said. "We don't have letter grades. We generally don't have tests, and most students design their own majors. Because of this, we need a course that helps new students figure out how to deal with this place." The course and the college aim to teach students to contribute to social justice, Bower said. Fairhaven College is concerned with giving students, an interdisciplinary education, a mix of many disciplines in an attempt to teach students conduct that is socially and environmentally acceptable if not beneficial, he said. "The issues we're focusing on in this class are native issues of the Northwest," he said. "One hundred and fifty years ago, where we're sitting now, was (the American Indian's) place and this is no longer the case." Bower and Stan Tag, co-professor of the class, will explore with the students the long history of European settlement and its influence on Northwest natives and lands, Bower said.

The center will be promoted at the Student Fair in Red Square Sept. 24 and 25. The VU SHAIC will offer resources to help students with general health questions or concerns about stress management, sexual health issues, cold and self-care issues, where to find services for emotional and physical health need, and other prevention and wellness issues. "The new SHAIC will be an information center, a place for students to get answers to their health questions," SHAIC nurse coordinator Catharine Vader said. "It will be very student-friendly." Vader said the center will be equipped with brochures, pamphlets, books, computers and other resources for students. "The new SHAIC will be an information - and resource-rich space," said Patricia Fabiano, program director of Prevention and Wellness Services. "It wi}l have a health library with much more up-to-date print and audio resources than the original SHAIC." Fabiano said one of the main differences between the original SHAIC and the new center is the new SHAIC will be staffed entirely by students, known as Lifestyle Advisors. Registered nurses will not be available at the new location. "It's not a medical center," Vader said. "Students who need services like HIV testing will still need to go to the original SHAIC." The trained student LA's will be available to guide students to information they need for their health questions or to give them referrals to the original SHAIC. "It will be a very student powered, student- centered office," Fabiano said. Western senior and Lifestyle Advisor Jennifer Hughes said, many LA's are excit- ~ ~ ~ See SHAIC, Page 2 Police work to catch drunken drivers By Margo Horner THE WESTERN FRONT The recent drunken driving deaths of six young people has left people around Washington feeling confused. On July 16, seven young people were drinking at one of their mother's homes in Auburn. Just before 10 p.m., the mother came home from work and told them all to leave. One of the kids vomited in the driveway. Then the seven of them got into a navy blue Ford Escort and drove off. Approximately 20 minutes later, the car veered off the road and crashed into a large concrete pillar. Police estimate the vehicle was speeding at approximately 65 mph. The impact instantly killed six riders and left one in critical condition. None of the people were wearing seat belts. According to the Washington Traffic Safety Commission, it was the worst single- car accident in the state since the 1940s. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reports that the highest number of alcohol-related fatal crashes involve from people between the ages of 20-24. The most recent statistics show that alcohol-related traffic fatalities reached 265 in Washington State in 1999. Statistics show drunken drivers cause 41.8 percent of traffic deaths. Police officers in Bellingham are working to catch drunken drivers and to lower the numbers of fatalities. "They shouldn't be afraid of me," University Police officer Lisa Aiumu said. "They should be afraid of what they're going to do if I don't catch them."
