The meeting is Jan. 30 at 4 p.m. The primary recommendations being discussed include breaking the College of Arts and Science into multiple colleges, combining natural sciences with Huxley college or developing a University College to handle General University Requirements and the general studies degree. If the council decides to make a recommendation at this time, it will be based on a faculty and staff survey, which asked what Western needed to improve. The most frequent problems noted in the survey were the large size of College of Arts and Sciences and the problems students have getting into GUR courses. The council said reorganization would only have a major affect on students access to GURs if a University College was established. The University College would most likely improve students' access to GUR courses, according to the consultants' report. See PLAN, Page 4 Music department chair must attend ethics training session By Matt Black THE WESTERN FRONT In a recent audit of Western's finances the state auditor Brian Sonntag found music department Chair David Wallace mismanaged payments from the Marrowstone Music Festival at Western last summer. According to the audit, Wallace had festival organizers pay $6,595 directly to him, as well as other Western employees and students who helped during the event. "The money should have gone through Western and the University payroll before it was paid to the employees," said Mary Carlson, assistant vice president for Business and Financial Affairs at Western. Wallace said he did not have the payment go to Western first because he and his co-workers were not being paid by the uni- See ETHICS, Page 4 Communication class inspires student-run television station By Chris Smith THE WESTERN FRONT With students' help, Western may have a television program- Tning station in the foreseeable future. The student-run station would air oh campus televisions. - .The network' would begin broadcasting one evening per "week. Western junior Phil Shuyler is in charge of organizing the effort. "(I) got the. idea from my Communications 442 video productions class," Shuyler said. "(Professor Mark Miller) said it was possible that we could broadcast." He said he has been discussing the idea with Noel Newell of Academic Technologies. The station would only be broadcast on campus televisions, Viking Xpress passes cause record WTA ridership increase By Derek Sheppard THE WESTERN FRONT The popularity of the Viking Xpress pass has helped Whatcom Transportation Authority experience its highest ridership ever and has increased pressure on crowded buses servicing Western. "In the year 2001, we had the greatest single year ever," said Transportation Services Specialist for WTA Rick Nicholson. Nicholson said WTA provided the community with just over 2.5 million rides this year. The Xpress is an unlimited bus pass available to Western students and faculty for $15 per quarter. "Last year, when we first started selling the pass, we sold 3,600 to 3,800 each quarter," said Carol Berry, the alternative and employee transportation coordinator of Western's Parking and Transportation Services. "That's quite a few passes when you consider we have 12,000 students." Last quarter 4,800 passes were sold and 4,500 have already been sold this quarter, Berry said. The Xpress pass is one of the reasons ridership has increased, Nicholson said. He said approximately 80 percent of people going to and from Western use the Xpress pass. "It's the best way to get to campus because it's, cheaper: than a parking pass,"' Western senior Lea Gibson said. Berry said the Xpress pass is appealing to students because it can also be used as a parking pass at night in many of the general lots. See RIDER, Page 4 Newell said. The station would have copyright issues broadcasting off campus, she said. The channel it would run on is undecided, Newell said. While Newell will probably make the final decisions, she said she does not want to have a large role in production. "When students come up with a cohesive plan, I feel there (will) be support for it," Newell said. "I really want students to do it themselves." So far, nearly a dozen students have- shown interest in being .involved with the production. The student body would almost exclusively run the station, Shuyler said. Shuyler's goal is forming a club that would be in charge of the network.
