Craige Ambrose, have started investigating the Tacoma Police Department, following the murder-suicide committed by former Police Chief David Brame on April 26.

Domestic abuse, accusations against Brame, including a female police officer's claim that he raped her ^ri.: 1988, and an overlooked 1981 psychoid-' gist report stating that Tie was unfit ior police work, have led to the investigation.

Health officials respond to first reported SARS case in county By Jennifer Segadelli THE WESTERN FRONT Centers for Disease Control and Prevention worked with Whatcom County health officials to isolate an individual identified as the county's first suspected severe acute respiratory syndrome case, said Dr. Greg Stern, Whatcom County health officer. The individual, whose identity has not been released due to patient confidentiality policies, was exposed to SARS while travelling to an infected area in Asia and is following the CDC isolation guidelines, Stern said. "We have identified all of his close contacts and are monitoring them for illness," he said. "The public is not at risk from this case." - _JDr. Emily Gibson, medical director for.. Western's Student.. Health Center, said she feels con-ffderitabout Western's safety. "Ever since the initial news :about SARS, we've been concerned," she said. "We instituted safety measures from the beginning, with signs in the waiting room and masks for patients and staff. We have a designated isolation room for anyone we are concerned about and a protocol for staff." Two types of classifications of SARS exist, suspect and probable. Suspect SARS is determined by high fever and respiratory symptoms after time spent in an infected area. Probable SARS is classified only if evidence of pneumonia or acute respiratory distress syndrome is present. Treatment for both cases, however, is the same.

"We believe that the 'sexual education' articulated on campus during National Intercourse Week is contradictory to human dignity, especially feminine dignity," Western junior Jamie Oakland said. "An example being Friday's 'education' in pornography. Pornography is not a problem in that it reveals too much of the person, but that it reveals too little of the person and reduces them to a mere object." ' Western sophomore Hanako Lombardi, Sexual Awareness Center, co-coordinator, said she did not see any problem with the Catholic campus ministry handing out booklets. "There shouldn't be a big deal because campus ministry is as welcome here on campus as other groups," Lombardi said. "It would be nice if they went to some of the booths to see what we're presenting. We're all mature and should be able to promote our view points and accept those of others." Approximately 20 members of the Bible study handed out nearly 700 copies of a booklet published by. the Love & Responsibility Foundation called "John Paul II on Love & Responsibility." The booklet is See NOID, Page 4 Melena Eaton / The Western Front Western junior Shandra Moses talks with Western junior Bryan Ochs, Catholic campus ministry communications peer minister, in Red Square on Thursday.
