Western senior John, who
asked that his name be witheld
to protect his privacy, uses
friendly conversation, not pick up
lines, at bars to ease him into
one-night stands. John has a reputation
for being a "male slut."
"Some of my friends think I
am a 'male slut,' but most just
think I am like any other single
college guy out there just looking
to get some," John said.
John has had vaginal sex
with 10 girls, which is a small
number in his opinion, but has
"fooled around" with more than
20, he said.
"If people think I am a 'male
slut', let them think that," John
said. "I feel that I am experienced,
not promiscuous."
John is one of a great majority
of Western students who do
not describe . themselves as
promiscuous in a Western
Front opinion survey.
During the week of Feb. 4,
the Front distributed surveys
in Western classes and to students
at the Viking Union. The
non-random, non-scientific survey
included 376 completed
surveys.
Five percent of the students
surveyed said they believed
they were promiscuous, while
95 percent said they were not.
Director of Prevention and
Wellness Services Pat Fabiano
said, "Words really make a difference.
The word promiscuity
is a tough word, with many
connotations. We prefer the
term sexual health."
Fabiano described people
who have bad sexual health as
those who have multiple partners
and who don't practice
safe sex or use protection.

Lummi High School senior
Isaiah Clark received the first
award of his academic career
Wednesday.
• He was honored, along with
93 other Whatcom county high
school students, at the
Performing Arts Center for leadership
skills, cultural awareness
and academic success.
"I wasn't even ready for (winning
an achievement award),"
Clark said. "I am nervous. I
have never been to this kind of
stuff before. I guess it's the stage
and getting in front of a crowd."
Among the Multicultural
Achievement Awards, five $2,000
scholarships were awarded to
students who demonstrated leadership
ability and were eligible to
attend Western, said Assistant
Director of Admissions, Tom
Nerini.
Nerini said .many of the students
who receive this award
are the first generation in their
family to go to college.

THE WESTERN FRONT
Nearly 20 Western students
were on hand Sunday and
Monday at the state capitol to
lobby state legislators to vote
against drastic tuition increases.
Western Viking Days, a
Western Associated Student
Board of Directors and
Washington Student Lobby-sponsored
program, provided
students an opportunity to
experience the state's legislative
process first-hand.
Students were given- the
opportunity to meet with state
legislators, explore internship
opportunities and express their
opinions on student issues to
lawmakers, said Nova Gattman,
Western vice president for
Legislative and Community
Affairs.
Gattman said the event's aim
was to educate students about
legislative issues affecting higher
education.
"We brought students because
there's somewhat of a lack of a
student voice in Olympia," she
said.
Delegates had the opportunity
to meet privately with Rep.
Doug Ericksen, RrWa., from
the 42nd district, as well as
eight other legislators during
Monday's session. , Gattman
said she felt the meetings went
well.
"We got to talk with him
[Ericksen] face to face about student
issues," Gattman said.
Western senior Tillie
Gallagher attended the event as
well, and said she left the day
with a better understanding of
state government and how to be
an affective lobbyist.
"I learned that you have to be
aggressive to get your point
across, but be sure not to burn
any bridges in the process,"
Gallagher said.
Representatives from
Western's WSL branch lobbied
at the event, calling for limited
tuition increases, a student position
on the Higher Education
Coordinating Board and the dismissal
of the two-year student
trustee bill.
See VIKINGS, Page 4
Assessment Survey, 53 percent
of students said they had one
partner, 8 percent said they
had two, 4 percent said they
had three partners and 5 percent
said they had four or more
within the last school year.
The NCHA survey also
showed most college students
think typical students have
had more partners than they
actually have. Forty-two percent
of students believed other
Western students had two part-ners
in the last school year, 22

Communication
problems delay
textbook info
presentation
By Lisa Mandt
THE WESTERN FRONT
The day before bookstore
manager Dave MacAuley was
scheduled to present textbook
information in Olympia, the
meeting was canceled.
A misunderstanding in procedure
between the Associated
Students and the administration
forced the meeting called by
the House of Higher Education
Committee to be rescheduled for
Friday.
The original request for the
meeting came from the House of
Higher Education Committee,
and the organization of the
meeting was left to the students,
AS President Corey
Eichner said.
"We need to look at the protocol,
because our protocol shouldn't
counter what our legislators
are asking us to do," Eichner
said. "It was just a presentation
on the cost of books."
After the facts were straight
and protocol was followed,
