Thompson editor Former congressman and current candidate for the U.S. Senate Don Bonker said the federal government must act effectively to restart the economy while protecting the environment. For the Northwest, the 55- year-old Democrat said this means banning the export of logs. Bonker, who visited The Western Front during a July 24 campaign stop in Bellingham, said, "We have sufficient cut timber to meet the needs of the mills and the owl habitat. We need to direct timber, that's being exported, to the mills who produce the jobs and the finished products." In addition to banning log exports, Bonker said the federal government should seek access to Canadian "...We should negotiate with the Canadians so we can have access to their timber — in other words, be permitted to bid on stumpage in Canada in exchange for dropping the countervailing duty we have on their incoming finished products,"he said. Bonker, who represented Washington's 3rd congressional dis-trictfrom 1974 to 1988, said the state's congressional delegation must make a unified effort to find solutions to the Northwest's environmental and economic problems. "What I say is that our congressional delegation devotes most of its time on resource issues, that is how to balance the economic and environmental values in this area. "Currently the delegation is polarized on this issue — people in the environmental camp, people in the industry camp and no action. So, we need a common basis on which to deal effectively with the problem, and we need new approaches," Bonker said. ...If people are working many of the problems disappear. If they're unemployed, problems appear everywhere. -Don Bonker Bonker said mass transit is one approach to creating jobs while improving the environment. "I think we should have a huge investment in mass transit ... every major city should have a modern, efficientmass transit system, because it produces jobs and is good for the environment, reduces our dependence on foreign oil and it makes for more livable cities. "There'sno national commitment to do this. Look at the highway trust fund. The interstate system was supposed to be completed by 1992, and still we have all that money that goes into the trust fund from federal taxes on gasoline. We should redirect that money to mass transit," Bonker said. Bonker said the rest of nation's economy, like Washington state's, suffers because of the erosion of the U.S. manufacturing base. "I think we need a blueprint to restore the manufacturing jobs. That means... well, on timber for instance, the tax advantage goes to exporting logs. We ought to have a tax advantage to keep the timber here," Bonker said. . **J5o„ n r o ' v a g o t to H«*-^-& a p o l w y that recognizes the importance of an industrial base.We need policies that will help facilitate and promote the export of goods—particularly among small and mid-sized businesses."

Many Western students will go to extreme lengths to beat the heat. "I know people who have gone skinny dipping in the (Red Square) fountain," says Liz Baker, junior, visual communications. Godot Gutierre, junior, visual communications, chooses skateboarding as his reprieve. "If I skate fast enough, I can really beat the heat," says Gutierre. Adam Jackson, senior, English, prefers a low key approach. He suggests sleeping through the heat. Megumi Fujikawa, a sophomore Asian University American Program student, agrees. She seeks refuge from the heat by napping in the shade. "I drink lots of water and wear as few clothes as possible," comments Heather White, junior, Fairhaven. White's approach most closely matches the suggestions offered by the Student Health Center. Kathryn Lewis, A.R.N.P. (Advanced Registered Nurse Practictioner), recommends that students drink large amounts of liquid and wear loose fitting cotton clothing when the tem- A common sight: (L.R.)

Failure to heed common sense during the hot summer weather can be dangerous to your health. If people are active outside or do heavy workouts in the heat, they may develop heat cramps. Lewis says resting, drinking lots of water, and adding small amounts'of salt to food will cure this condition. Heat exhaustion is more serious. Someone exposed to heat over a long period of time who feels thirsty, limp, and weak, or has a body temperature over 100 degrees Fahrenheit, is likely suffering from heat exhaustion. He or she should immediately move to a cool area, lie down and drink water. Heat stroke can be life threatening. A person suffering from heat stroke will have hot, dry skin, a body temperature over 106 degrees Fahrenheit, and should be rushed to the hospital, Lewis says. People who fall victim to heat stroke are usually eld- Please see Heat, page 4
