The Western Front
Western Washington University Volume 120 Issue 16 Bellingham, Washington
Students, community members remember Sept. 11
By Matt Black
THE WESTERN FRONT
With- tears in her eyes,
Western freshman Melanie
Valm recalled how her uncle
died in the south tower of the-
World Trade Center.
Valm joined more than 50;
Western students and community
members Monday night in
Red Square to remember the
victims of Sept. 11 and the war
on terrorism.
The vigil was an important
chance to remind people of those
who lost their, lives in the
attack, Valm said.
"I've heard a lot of people say
they want to block it out, but we
can't forget what happened,"
she said. "We shouldn't try to
pass it off."
Although she said she feels
bad for the Afghanistan civilians
who have lost their lives,
Valm said she still supports the
military action overseas.
"I think we need to look internally
and change some of our
policy, but as a first step I think
we need to go after the perpetrators,"
she said.
Fairhaven faculty member
Shirley Osterhaus said the
United States should not fight
terror with violence.
"We need to respect the sanc-

1 Today's vote determines WTA bus routes
By Kirsten Carlson
THE WESTERN FRONT
Whatcom County residents
vote today on whether to
increase the local sales tax by
0.3 percent to maintain
Whatcom Transportation
Authority's current level of bus
service.
If Proposition 1 does not pass,
WTA will reduce fixed route service
by 46 percent, according to
the WTA Web site.
WTA would also make additional
cuts to specialized, weekend
and evening services.
Twelve routes serving Western
would be eliminated.
"Western receives less cuts
than any other place," said Rick
Gordon, WTA director of service
development. "It would still make
it difficult for Western riders
because people would be left
standing at bus stops."
Western senior Uhura Jones
said she strongly supports
complete a jibe, a turn, at Saturday's sailing regatta
Police cooperation nabs car prowlers
By Stacey Gorgen
THE WESTERN FRONT
For the second time in less
than a month, University Police
worked with Bellingham Police
to arrest car prowlers attempting
to steal cars on Western's
campus.
UP arrested Ryan
Vandenhaak, 22, March 1 on
charges of possession of stolen
property and possession of burglary
tools.
Further investigation found
that Vandenhaak was in a car
that was reported stolen from
Bellingham on Feb. 27. He said
he was using the burglary tools
to get into his own car.
Vandenhaak was also wanted
by BP for forgery, fraud and
theft.
UP and Bellingham have been
working together to help
decrease car prowlings.
Bellingham has helped
Western decrease car prowls
through the Bellingham Vehicle
Prowl Task Force.
Since the Task Force was set
up nearly two months ago, the
number of car prowls at Western
and in Bellingham have
decreased.
"The effects of the Bellingham
Task Force and the arrests that
we have made so far have made
a huge difference (in car prowl
rates)," UP Deputy Chief Dave
Doughty said.
Doughty said the task force
has helped Western's car prowl
record drop from 25 in
December 2001 to zero in
February.
Lieutenant Dae Jamison of
the Bellingham Police
Department said car prowl incidents
for the city of Bellingham
have decreased from 257 in
December 2001 to 96 in
February.

Proposition 1.
"Everyone complains that
there aren't enough buses and
they're always full," she said.
"Imagine how bad it will be with
12 less of them."
Vice President for Diversity
Jonathan Perez said he fears the
decrease in bus routes will lead
to parking problems.
"The bus is the most precious
public service available . to
Western students," he said.
