The Western Front
Western Washington University Volume 116 Issue 17 Bellingham, Washington
Professor butts head with Provost
By Camille Penix
THE WESTERN FRONT
After receiving support from
students, computer science professor
Annie Groeninger has
agreed to finish teaching this
quarter.
Groeninger resigned Friday
immediately after receiving
notice that Academic Affairs
Provost Andrew Bodman
reversed a decision she made to
fail a student last quarter,
based on a conflict with the
academic dishonesty policy.
By the end of that day,
Bodman notified Ronald
Kleinknect, Dean of the College
of Arts and Sciences and
department of computer sciences
chair Thomas E.
Downing that he had reversed
his decision.
"I don't think I am back
because the provost changed
his decision," Groeninger said.
"I wanted to make sure the students
got a fair deal in this
decision."
The student, after failing a
midterm, had erased the wrong
answers and written in the correct
answers, Groeninger said.
The student appealed
Groeninger's decision several
times. Kleinknect and Downing
concurred with Groeninger's
decision.
The Student Academics
Grievance board disagreed
with Groeninger.
Its rationale was that the

G-P wants
natural gas
generators
By Keri Cooper
THE WESTERN FRONT
The Bellingham Georgia-
Pacific West Inc. tissue plant no
longer wants to buy pulp, the
raw material necessary to make
tissue, from its other facilities.
With the approval to run the
two new natural gas turbines it
purchased, G-P will soon be
making its own pulp again.
Before G-P can operate these
generators, the process must
first be approved by both the
Northwest Air Pollution
Authority and the City
Environmental Policy Act

Summer campus transformation
By Brendan C. Manning
THE WESTERN FRONT
Summer students be warned: The advent of
summer session brings with it many construction
and remodeling projects that will mean
excess noise, dust and traffic throughout
Western's campus.
The major summer project is the first phase of a
$6.1 million utility tunnel construction project.
The tunnel, which is scheduled for construction
from August to December, will provide utilities for
the planned Student Recreation Center.
"The tunnel does need to be done and in place
for the recreation center construction in
February," said David Willet, manager of
Architectural and Engineering Services. "So,
that's why we're starting the tunnel now and finishing
it before the end of the year."
The tunnel, which will be about 12 feet underground
and 7 square feet, begins from the pedestrian
pathway, which runs from Fairhaven College
to Parks Hall, and goes west toward the service
road by the Parking Office.

Protesters
ask council
to give up
pit to people
By Joseph Terrell
THE WESTERN FRONT
The Bellingham City
Council's Monday night meeting
was unexpectedly
adjourned when "pit" protesters
took control of the meeting,
demanding a fair public
process for their own unrelated
cause.
The protesters complained
that the council proceeded with
future plans for the "pit," a
vacant lot at the corner of Holly
Street and Railroad Avenue
recently the center of controversy,
without any community
input.
The council said protesters
would get no response as long
as they continue to interrupt
meetings.
The protesters stayed in City
Hall until 11:30 p.m., when
council member Terry
Bornemann agreed to hear the
voice of at least one protester
;today a t l f S O f ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
r -While the protesters were
happy- to get some response
from the council after previously
being ignored, they were
apprehensive about what
would come from their actions.
Bornemann acted independently
from the other council
members, who refused to
address "pit" protesters.
"Terry is just doing his job,"
protester Vanessa Marsh said.
She said that Bornemann wasn't
making any great concession,
but instead was just doing
what the council is supposed to
