Officers issue
students more
parking tickets
By I v y Plewman
THE WESTERN FRONT
Students noticing an increase
in parking tickets this year are
not imagining things.
The number of parking citations
issued fall quarter 2001
has increased by 759 from fall
2000.
Julia Gassman, Parking
Services support supervisor,
said tickets increased because
the University Police hired a
new officer, who issued 842 tickets
during fall quarter.
UP chief Jim Shaw said the
842 tickets issued by the new
officer is about average, but the
addition of an officer caused the
increase.
Confusion over the new parking
system could be another
cause for the increase, Western
sophomore Mary Nelson said.
"Until a couple weeks ago, I
thought all the lots were for
after hours parking," Nelson
said.
Nelson received a ticket a few
weeks ago for parking in the 6V
lot, below the Viking Union.
"I'd been using my bus pass to
park there all fall quarter," she
said.
To accommodate large numbers
of visitors on campus, lot
6V has recently become a visitor
lot. People who want to park

THE WESTERN FRONT
Shortly after 11 p.m. on
Valentine's Day, a University
Police officer stopped Western
student Zac Walker for skateboarding
on High Street.
He is now being charged with
disorderly conduct and obstructing
a police officer's duty, his
lawyer Richard Kimberly said.
Walker will face a trial for the
charges in late March or early
April.
Walker said the UP officer
pushed him around and verbally
abused him after he was
stopped.
UP Chief Jim Shaw and the
UP would not comment on
Walker's case. UP is not permitted
to talk about a case when an
investigation is in process.
Walker said he flagged down
a car so he could have witnesses
to observe what the officer was
doing. He got a woman and a
man to stop, but the officer
made the two witnesses leave
shortly after.
After 20 minutes, another UP
officer, Corp. Joe Bailey, showed
up to help Davis, Walker said.
The two officers eventually
wrote him a $52 ticket for skateboarding
and let him go.
•-- One week after the incident,
Corp. Bailey and Sergeant
Connie Satter went to Walker's
'work place at the Viking Union
and gave him the citation for

Western sophomore Lamesha
Melton nervously walked
towards the stage with her black
and white composition book in
hand. In it she held stories,
poems and artwork about her
struggles as a black woman in
today's society.
Other volunteers also shared
poems about being women of
color.

Viking Union multipurpose
room with an open mic and talent
night.
Event coordinator Chris Gall
said Friday night's event was
intended to be very informational
and that the ESC's mission is
celebrated International Women to empower students of color.
Nearly 20 people attended the
event.
"I like to think those students
who did show up got a lot out of
it," Gall said.
Volunteers read poems and
sang songs. Melton, 19, read a
poem entitled "Graffiti In My
Head" that she wrote about the

Swil Kanim entertains students in the Viking Union
Saturday. He played his violin and told stories.
By Brandon Ivey
THE WESTERN FRONT
The Viking Union market
became a gathering place of
worldly proportions Saturday
, afternoon.
Swil Kanim played violin and
told stories in honor of the completion
of the VU remodel. He
plays shows monthly in
Bellingham and has played in
48 states; however, he was virtually
unknown to those in
attendance.
"Raise your hand if you've
never seen me perform before,"
Swil Kanim said as he began the
show. Almost everybody raised
their hands.
"Now I have to start from the
beginning," he replied. "My
name is Richard Marshal. My
father was a laborer and helped
build this building."
He said Swil Kanim is his
Lummi name.
During his show, Swil Kanim
asked who in the audience was
born the furthest from Bellingham.
One person was born in
New York; however, the furthest
person was from Iran.
The room grew in stature
because everybody personally
chose to attend, Swil Kanim
said. It was an honor to have
someone from as far away as
Iran, he said.
Swil Kamin said he was at the
VU because he was invited.
"In our culture we acknowledge
gatherings," Swil Kanim
said. "It is important to gather.
People from all over the world
gather here, even people from
Iran, so I hear."
He told a story about a tree
that survived because it learned
to bend with the wind. The story
illustrated Swil Kanim's philos-

and off campus.

woman of color. She said knowing
that she is always being
judged by others is difficult.
