Members of the task force gathered: Thursday for a pub-he forum to answer questions and hear the concerns of Western faculty, staff and students about proposed rate increases scheduled to begin fall 2003. "The rates are proposed to go up a minimum of 27 percent within the next two years," said Cathy Cameron, fiscal officer of business and financial affairs. "The rates will increase 3 percent each year after that according to the plan." The Transportation Business Plan proposed by the task force suggests a 10 to 15 percent increase next year for permits to park in G, R, C and 12A lots, resulting in a $5 to $9 increase per quarter. Carpool and vanpool permits will increase between 46 to 100 percent next fall, according to the plan. The carpool permit requires two or more registered students or employees to use the same vehicle and currently costs $45 per quarter for employees and $41 per quarter for students. The proposed increase would raise the cost to $66 per quarter for employees and $61 per quarter for students. Vanpool permits currently cost $33 per quarter but will cost $66 if the proposed plan is approved by the President's Council next month.

Coulter, a former columnist for National Review Online and author of the book "Slander: Liberal Lies About the American Right," was invited to speak at the theater as part of a fund-raising event for the. Whatcom County Affordable Housing Council, a business lobby group for the county's Building Industry Association. Coulter was greeted by 80 to 100 people gathered in front of the theater, banging on homemade drums with sticks and shouting "boo" and "shame on you bigots." Scott Allen Hume, 31, Bellingham resident and vice chairman of the Whatcom County Chamber of Commerce board of directors, walked through the crowd on his way into the theater, a group of approximately five people held signs and heckled him. Hume then turned and punched nearby Western sophomore Trey Avery in the face and pushed another man whose identity is not known. Bellingham Police arrested Hume on suspicion of fourth-degree assault, Lt. Craige Ambrose said. Avery said, however, not all of the theater patrons reacted negatively to the protest.

Student technology fees and foundation grants support the purchase, according to the Student Technology Fee Committee's final recommended project list. "We support classroom activities," Cancilla said. "(Western) is going to get their money's worth." Out of 33 proposed projects, the Student Technology Fee Committee selected 14 to implement, said Jerry Boles, Western vice provost for information and telecommunications. Another scientific device, the gamma ray spectroscope, was also among the • 14 technology fee projects. John Rybczyk, of the Huxley College of the Environment, said the spectroscope is used to chronologically date recent soil or sediment layers. The device is useful to students studying materials by producing data with relatively little effort, providing answers that would otherwise cost thousands, Rybczyk said. The outdated SEM microscope Western currently houses that Georgia Pacific donated is equivalent to a computer from the '80s, said Devon Cancilla, Western director of Scientific Technical Services.

By Jordan Lindstrom THE WESTERN FRONT Western senior and Western Live co-host Paul Danke said some things in life are impossible to picture until you have seen them take place — such as butt-jumping. Stunt-performing world competition jump ropers are one of the acts the Western Television Broadcasting Club featured on its new late-night show Western Live. Filmed at 8 p.m. every Tuesday at the Hotel Bellwether, the talk show includes guest performers, interesting people from the Western community and audience interaction. "It's a pretty free structure," Danke said. "We decided to do a late night talk show mainly because the format lends itself to showcasing guests and entertainment." Danke said one of the main focuses of Western Live is to relate the show to Western students and make it entertaining. "We write jokes relevant to our age group, and we've had students from (Western) clubs and local musical guests," Danke said.

On-campus
parking rates
may increase
By Abiah Weaver
THE WESTERN FRONT
To offset Western's unpredictable and
increasing transportation costs and to fund
future projects,. faculty, staff and students
may have to adjust to an increase in parking
permit rates next year, said Dale Monroe,
chairman of the Transportation Plarining
Initiatives Task Force.
Members of the
task force gathered:
Thursday for a pub-he
forum to answer
questions and hear
the concerns of
Western faculty,
staff and students
about proposed rate
increases scheduled
to begin fall 2003.
"The rates are
proposed to go up a
minimum of 27 percent
within the next
two years," said
Cathy Cameron, fiscal
officer of business
and financial affairs. "The rates will
increase 3 percent each year after that
according to the plan."
The Transportation Business Plan proposed
by the task force suggests a 10 to 15
percent increase next year for permits to
park in G, R, C and 12A lots, resulting in a
$5 to $9 increase per quarter. Carpool and
vanpool permits will increase between 46 to
100 percent next fall, according to the plan.
The carpool permit requires two or more
registered students or employees to use the
same vehicle and currently costs $45 per
quarter for employees and $41 per quarter
for students. The proposed increase would
raise the cost to $66 per quarter for employees
and $61 per quarter for students.
Vanpool permits currently cost $33 per
quarter but will cost $66 if the proposed plan
is approved by the President's Council next
month.
