Student committee bids for
safer shuttle to parking lot
By Mugs Scherer
THE WESTERN FRONT
This fall, Greg Kuhn, a Western
graduate student in education and
a member of the Associated
Students Safety Committee and
the Central Health and Safety
Committee, said he began looking
into a route change for the
Western shuttle because of a student
concern about campus safety.
Kuhn said three freshmen
females told him they did not feel
safe walking to campus from their
cars in Parking Lot 16CR at night.
They wondered if the shuttle could
give them a ride, Kuhn said.
"I- immediately envisioned how
hard that would be," Kuhn smdV : ^
The shuttle, ^which- runs' seven
days per week, departs from the
Viking Union every 20 minutes
starting at 7 p.m., with the final
departure at midnight. ,,^
The shuttle's route travels
through campus, Bill McDonald
Parkway to Sehome Village and
back. It stops at all Whatcom
Transit Authority stops and
Western parking lots along its route.
What it does not do, and what the

Bellingham lieutenant in^
By Matt McDonald
THE WESTERN FRONT
A special team of Washington state police
officers, including Bellingham Police Lt.
Craige Ambrose, have started investigating
the Tacoma Police Department, following
the murder-suicide committed by former
Police Chief David Brame on April 26.
The Washington Association of Sheriffs
and Police Chiefs is investigating the
Tacoma Police Department's hiring policies
and possible cover up of previous domestic
abuse allegations against Brame, said
Larry Erickson, executive member of the
WASPC, coordinator of the investigative
team and former Spokane County She^iff^
"Yqu have to have.-^omebody^^
outside (to investigate), or tHev people,
aren't going to buy it," Erickson said- "I£
the Tacoma Police Department ihvesti^
gated themselves, it would not work." ;
Brame shot his wife April 26'before
killing himself. 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.
The WASPC chose Ambrose to.be part of
the investigative team because he is the
commander of the investigative division of
>')tbe BSD} i s a 20-year veteran and is an
Excellent; leader,; WASPC Deputy Chief
-Todd Ramsay said.
•.••-. -Tacoma City Council members requested
" that a special team-investigate the allegations
made against Brame before he was promoted
to police chief of the TPD, Erickson said.
. .'•• The investigative team will review
Bramd's career from the time he left the
police academy in 1982 to the time he
.fired the shot in the parking lot in April,
'Erickson said. ; -
" T h e y are going to look at the whole
process of the promotion and all of his
assignments he had over the years," said
Dave Richards, Detective Sgt. for the:BPD.
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. The individual
is supported by medical means
and kept in isolation until the

Catholic students distribute anti-pornography material
By Melena Eaton
THE WESTERN FRONT
Members of a Catholic campus ministry
Bible study distributed booklets in Red
Square during Thursday's National Outdoor
Intercourse Day to promote a different kind
of education than the Sexual Awareness
Center was providing.
"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
