The Western Front Western Washington University Volume 125 Issue 18 Bellingham, Washington Western names first dean for new college By Torhil Dunham THE WESTERN FRONT When students return to campus fall 2003, along with new classes, meeting friends and studying, they will also experience new academic changes. Western formed two new colleges from the split of the College of Arts and Sciences requiring the appointment of two new deans. Last January, Western's board of trustees unanimously voted to divide the College of Arts and Sciences into two separate colleges — the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the College of Science and Technology. Ronald Kleinknecht is the founding dean of t he College of Humanities and Social Sciences, effective Sept. 1, Bodman announced June 5. Kleinknecht has been the interim dean of the College of Arts and Sciences since January 2000. "Kleinknecht was selected from a field of more than 100 candidates from across the nation," Bodman said. "He has served very ably as interim dean, and i t is clear from the interview process that he enjoys the trust and confidence of the faculty and staff of the new college." Bodman will announce the dean of the College of Science and Technology in t he next several weeks. Kleinknecht came to Western in 1970, and he was chairman of the psychology department from 1990 until he took t h e , job as interim dean. He earned his degree, along with a doctorate in clinical psychology, from Washington State University. "The departments that will comprise the new college already have a number of innovative programs to nurture and an outstanding faculty equipped to develop even more excellent educational opportunities for our students on campus and in the community," Kleinknecht said. Last year, during discussions of splitting the colleges, a number of faculty members voiced concerns about the procedure, Faculty Senate President John Purdy said. Purdy said he thinks that Kleinknecht, however, will be a good dean.

By Lee Fehrenbacher THE WESTERN FRONT Under the new regulations that the Federal Communications Council set forth Monday, the Bellingham Herald and KVOS TV could theoretically become the same company, General Manager for KVOS Dave Reid said. While the new regulations would allow such mergers to take place, Reid said he does not see such a merger happening. "I don't see any deals being made on the front burner or the back burner," Reid said. "It's just theory." The FCC eased its restrictions on media ownership Monday, allowing businesses to purchase more television stations, as well as allowing mergers between newspaper sand broadcast media. Under the new regulations, national TV companies will be able to reach 45 percent of U.S. houses holds as opposed to the former 35 percent cap, according to an FCC press release. Also, all bans on cross-ownership were completely eliminated in markets with nine or more TV stations. The FCC kept a ban on mergers between ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox. While the FCC deregulated television guidelines, it re-regulated radio broadcast guidelines by placing new Arbitron geographic limits on market designations, General Manager for Cascade Radio Group Rick Staeb said. The new Arbitron markets will decrease market areas and further limit the amount of radio stations a company can own in each area, Staeb said. Staeb said he did not think the change was necessary but thought the decision was a response to the growth of Clear Channel, a global leader in out-of-home advertising and entertainment industries. The Bellingham Weekly approached the station about a possible merger See MEDIA, Page 4 New walk-in medical clinic to open next week Brianne Cross/ The Western Front Doctor Larry Young, left, and clinic owner Tom Wildgoose stand in front of Scotia Medi- Clinic, one of the only walk-in clinics in Whatcom County By Brianne Cross THE WESTERN FRONT In the past, a single mother awake at 4 a.m. with an infant screaming in misery from a fever had only one .option for medical attention — a hospital emergency room, regardless of whether or not it was an actual emergency. As an alternative to the ER, Scotia Medi-Clinic, opening next week, will be the only clinic in Bellingham offering psychiatric care, home visitation, medical care and a 24- hour-per-day on-call doctor. "It is not emergency care, but immediate care without the cost tied to emergency service," said Helen Hertz, the communications director for the clinic. Owner Tom Wildgoose handpicked each of the five doctors — three medical specialists and two psychiatrists. All of the doctors are available to everyone in the county, to students who cannot get into the campus health care center, people with no primary care doctor, people who cannot get in to see their own doctor or people with mental health disorders, Wildgoose said.
