Western's parking office may be
violating Washington state law
By Jay Spengler and
Jennifer Segadelli
'THE WESTERN FRONT
Western junior McKenzie
Spoor said he found Western's
parking office to be in violation
of a Washington state law,
which may require Western to
refund all-,parking citations
issued since May 2002.
After receiving a parking-ticket
April 18, Spoor said he
researched the parking rules on
campus. According to
Washington. State Legislature,
fee and citation schedules must
be posted in the public area of
the parking services office.
Western failed to follow this
article of Washington state's
law and violated administrative
due process, Spoor said.
"The fee schedule is supposed
to be posted in the Public Safety
Office, and it's not anywhere,"
Spoor said. "I don't see how it's
going to hold up. The university
didn't follow the rules."

Local partnership supports agriculture
By Erin McGourty
THE WESTERN FRONT
The Community Food Co-op is partnering
with Sustainable Connections, to
support fledgling sustainable farmers in
Whatcom County, fight hunger and create
a market for their produce.
Since 2000, $3,000 to $4,000 of the Coop's
annual donation budget is used to
support local sustainable agriculture.
This year's project, titled Food to Bank
On!, partners new farmers, experienced
growers and local food banks to provide
organic and locally grown produce to low-income
community members.
"Food to Bank On! simulates a real
market situation," said Derek Long, program
manager for Sustainable
Connections. "Farmers are required to
meet delivery and quality expectations."
Sustainable Connections, a membership
network of local businesses and
individuals committed to building a local
thriving economy, worked with the food
banks to create a delivery schedule and a
list of produce in demand. The Co-op will
pay four farmers with one to three years
of farming experience, wholesale Co-op
value for delivering two cases of then-produce
each week to designated food
banks.
Long said the Farm Fund also pays
Sustainable Connections for overseeing
the program, making weekly check-ins
with the food bank and creating invoices
and paychecks for the farmers.
"The number of farmers in agriculture
in Whatcom County is very small," Long
said. "We want to increase that number.
We want to keep farming in agriculture
rather than development. Most people
would say the reason they moved here is
because of open space. Once you pave
over farmland it ruins the soil for agriculture,
and it is gone forever."
Co-op volunteer Sara Steele said she
pitched the idea of a mentoring program
to an advisory committee consisting of
Co-op members and local farmers.
Together they created the partnership
program. Steele said farmers are
matched by their specific interests in
farming and the locations of their farms.
"Mentoring farmers give technical arid
development support for new farmers,"
Steele said. "Experienced farmers serve
.as models."
The program's four fledgling farmers
include Simone Rogers, Barbara
Alexander, Alex Rhoades and Wiley
Milke. Rogers is in her second growing

Board resolution
forces AS switch
to 100 percent
recycled paper
By Mugs Scherer
THE WESTERN FRONT
Until now, all Associated Students
offices used 30 percent recycled paper
supplied by Georgia Pacific, despite a
1998 resolution by the AS board of directors
calling for 100 percent recycled, or
post-consumer, paper.
On April 23, the AS board made a similar
resolution that calls for all AS offices
to make the switch to 100 percent post-consumer
paper, manufactured by New
Leaf Paper.
Tony Russo, AS vice president for business
and operations, said the AS recy-cled-
paper task force has been researching
different paper options throughout
winter quarter. He said they tried to
make sure 100 percent recycled paper
was not too expensive and would not
cause paper jams.
"The report is that it costs less, it
works fine, and it's 100 percent post-consumer,"
Russo said.
Jim Schuster, associate director of
operations of the Viking Union, said the
VU will change to New Leaf Paper
when it has used all of the current supply
and when Central Stores, who supplies
the paper, has the proper paper in
stock. He said he anticipates the
change to take place during summer
quarter at the latest.
According to a document prepared for
the meeting by Trey Avery of the AS recycled
paper task force and head of
Students for Environmentally
Responsible Business, Georgia Pacific's
reams cost $3.07, while New Leaf's 100
percent post consumer cost $2.79. In
2002, all of the. AS offices, located in the
VU building, used 652 reams of paper.
Should the offices use the same amount
of completely recycled paper, it will be a
savings of $182.56.
The AS publicity center received a
recycled paper exemption because of its
need for colored paper.

Western professor earns American history Bancroft Award
By Rachel Thomas
THE WESTERN FRONT
Western history professor
Alan Gallay's name now reads
among some of the best-known
American history writers.
Gallay won the Bancroft
Prize, awarded annually to only
two or three authors in
American history, biography or
diplomacy genres.
The Bancroft Prize committee
nominated approximately 175
books this year, Gallay said.
The Bancroft Prize is one of
the most prestigious awards in
American history-writing, second
to only the Pulitzer Prize,
said Chris Friday, chairman and
professor of the Western history
department.
The Bancroft Prize committee
at Columbia University honored
Gallay at a banquet April 9 in
New York City. Gallay's wife,,
daughter and other family members
accompanied him to the
banquet.
Gallay, who has been a professor
at Western since 1988, said
he never expected to write his
book, "The Indian Slave Trade:
The Rise of the English Empire
in the American South, 1670-
1717," for which he was honored.
"Nobody thought there was
enough information to write a
book," Gallay said. "I didn't
either."
In 1990, Gallay began
researching the topic of the
American Indian slave trade in
