Former Western student Paul Douglas Revak pleaded guilty to a less^- er crime of attempted receipt of explosives Sept. 19 in federal court in Seattle. The plea bargain Revak accepted carries a maximum sentence of 10 years, although it is likely he will receive only 12 to 16 months, said Tim Lohrass, Revak's assistant defense attorney. "Both sides were in agreement that this plea was appropriate to the conduct committed," he said. "This is a lot more appropriate charge for what the circumstances were." Federal agents arrested Revak June 10 and indicted him for solicitation-of another student to commit a crime arid threats to use weapons of mass destruction. It is unlikely Revak will receive the' maximum sentence because this is his first offense, Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Hamilton said. Hamilton said Revak will not be able to own weapons or break any laws as a part of his supervised release; any violations could result in more jail time. Hamilton also said Revak will need to check in with a parole officer. "If you go to trial and lose, you can get eight to 10 years," Lohrass said.

This is his third year at Western and his first yeaf sending his daughter to Western's Child Development Center, a daycare facility located on campus. Although he works part-time while going to school, he says child care still is expensive. "It's almost not worth working when you have to pay for child care," Coonen said. "My wife also works, and we have a lot of loans, too." Coonen is one of two students to receive a child care grant at Western from the Norcliffe Foundation, a private organization that donates money to non-profit organizations in the Puget Sound region. The $7,000 donation — the center's largest donation in 30 years — will fund child care for Western students who are parents. Goonen's daughter will attend child care 22 hours each week this quarter; the grant will cover 10 hours. "It will make it more affordable to have her in child care," Coonen said. "When you have a kid, whatever you can get helps." Jules McLeland, director of the Child Development Center, said 70 percent of the 57 children at the center have parents who are students. The rest are children of faculty and staff. "I would estimate that over half (of student-parents) need financial aid," McLeland said. .

"(Woodell is charged with) inappropriately touching a young male in a house he was staying at," Bellingham Police Lt. Craige Ambrose said. Police arrested Woodell Sept. 19 after he left the scene and charged him with first-degree child molestation. City Prosecutor Royce Buckingham said Woodell, 29, is in custody at the Whatcom County Jail ort $50,000 bail. A judge will set a trial date at his indictment today. Woodell confessed Aug. 25 to the department of corrections that he molested a 6- year-old boy, Ambrose said. Police investigated the claim Sept. 11 and determined the confession to be false when Williams College psychology professor Saul Kassin, said a false confession may still be a sign of guilt.

The North Cascades and Olympic Partnership will join 26 school districts and five higher education institutions in Washington to share the money during the next five years. Western is the lead partner and in charge of the grant, according to the grant proposal. "We put together a really powerful force," said Stephanie Salzman, dean of Woodring College of Education. "The grand vision is for not only Western's science and education department to see benefits, but from elementary school age through teachers themselves." Participating schools will use the grant money to recruit teachers in science education, redesign the curriculum and provide professional development and opportunities for current teachers, Salzman said. This is the largest grant Western has ever received, she said.
