College restructuring upsets faculty, students
Music students
worry about lost
program quality
By A i l e y Kato
THE WESTERN FRONT
Western freshman Ben
Harris, a music composition
major, spent six months searching
for the right college.
Some of the most prestigious
music schools in the nation
accepted him, but he said he
finally found everything he wanted,
including top-notch professors
at Western.
Now, Harris said if the
restructuring proposal is
approved he might consider
other schools and transfer. -
The proposal would create two
new colleges from the existing
College of Arts and Sciences and
the College of Fine and
Performing Arts.
He testified before Provost
Andrew Bodman and^a group of
faculty panelists at a public

Child murder
attributed to
insulin shot
overdose
By Leanne Josephson
THE WESTERN FRONT
Eight-year-old Michael Busby
Jr. was poisoned by a massive
dose of insulin, Whatcom County
Medical Examiner Dr. Gary
Goldfogel announced Wednesday.
Authorities had previously
attributed his death to" strangulation
and blood loss.
The insulin injection increased
levels in Busby's body 200 to 300
times the normal concentration,
meaning he would have fallen
unconscious within minutes,
Goldfogel said.
"When (insulin) goes into the
blood directly, it is immediately
acting," he said.
Goldfogel said he couldn't say
whether trauma to Busby's neck
and torso and cuts on his leg
and ear were inflicted before or
after the injection.
A jogger found the second-grader's
body Friday at the
Pacific Concrete site just off
Squalicum Parkway.

Dance program
may be denied
rehearsal space
By Tara McKenna
THE WESTERN FRONT
Lack of funding for Western's
dance program and the possibility
of becoming one of the smallest
programs on campus due to
the restructuring of colleges,
could end the program.
"If there is no space, there is
no class. No class and the program
could be terminated,"
modern dance director Nolan
Dennett said.
Currently, two-thirds of the
dance program's curriculum
takes place at a rented studio on
Holly Street.
Studio rental fees are $1,200
per month, and the student
course fee of $25 per quarter
pays for the space and the musical
accompanist.
Starting next fall, the rent
will be $3,000 per month. As a
last resort, student course fees

Arsenic exposure threatens Whatcom County
By Derek Sheppard
THE WESTERN FRONT
•CAfcW
Western junior Kate Koch said
her 14-year-old brother Jonathan
has an immune disorder and is in
remission from colon cancer that
might have been caused by complications
from arsenic exposure.
Jonathan lives on the family's
farm outside Spokane in an area
resembling the outskirts of
Lynden, she said.
When Koch heard about the
problems Whatcom County residents
were having with arsenic
in their drinking water, she told
her father to check his well,
Koch said.
"The effects of arsenic go
beyond cancer," she said. "It
might be nice to know (if the well
has arsenic) before it's too late."
After months of debate, the
Whatcom County Council voted
to adopt a new drinking water
ordinance including a provision
to reduce allowable arsenic levels
in private Wells.
According to the new ordinance,
county residents applying
for a building permit who
wish to supply themselves with
drinking water from a private
well must meet lower arsenic
standards.
Council member Dan McShane
said residents living in cities
such as Bellingham probably will
not be affected by the arsenic regulations.
Most people are connected
to county water supplies
that are already treated for
arsenic and other elements..
People living in rural Whatcom
County who obtain drinking
water from private wells are at
risk for higher arsenic exposure
because they have to clean their
water themselves, he said.
