A Harvard University study released in July found no decrease in drinking on campuses that employ the social-norm technique, which informs students of the normative behavior among other students. The study compared 37 colleges that use the technique to 61 colleges that do not, and attributed the findings to the social-norm approach. "(Western) is testing the approach, and so far, we have had promising results," said Pat Fabiano, director of Prevention and Wellness Services at Western. "Good science doesn't happen overnight." The U.S. Department of Education and the National Institute of Alcoholism and Alcohol Abuse granted Western $990,000 over a period of six years to test the effectiveness of Western's social-norm approach, which began, in 1997, Fabiano said. "The philosophy we work on is risk reduction," said Elva Giddings, coordinator of Western's Alcohol and Drug Consultation Assessment and Skills program. "Strictly abstinence is one of many choices, and we make it very clear that individuals make their own choices."

GUR reform still ahead for Western BY PORFDUO PENA The Western Front The Academic Coordinating Commission will meet today to discuss the changes to the General University Requirement structure, but the changes will affect few current Western students. The ACC began discussing a proposal this quarter, written by the General Education Task Force, a group of faculty and students, for a full revision of Western's GUR structure. "The purpose of GURs, in general, is to give students a well-rounded education," said Kevin Stock, Associated Student vice president for business and operations. "The reason we're looking at reform now is that many students, including myself, don't feel it's doing that." SEE Reform, PAGE 4 Tjp.proiit New class explores the shady underworld of monsters.

For neire tips, call (360) 650-3162 or e-mail The WesternFrontatwfront@cc.wwu.edu BY KATTLIN KING The Western Front Western freshman Theresa Thesenvitz said she feels pressured to find a job to pay her tuition. With her parents paying for part of school, she said she has been forced to use loans to pay for the rest. "I will eventually have to get a job to help pay for school," Thesenvitz said. "I have three loans right now, and I am slowly paying off as much as I can." Thesenvitz, who pays in-state tuition, represents a large portion of Western's student body that feels the strain of ever-increasing tuition. Last Tuesday, the College Board's annual Trends in College Pricing study revealed the average tuition for four-year public universities in the United States is 47 percent higher than it was 10 years ago. According to the study, public universities, which rely heavily on government money, are being hit hard. Mary Murray, program coordinator of Western's Center for Work Experience, said cuts in federal funding for education not only caused tuition to rise, but also affected money available for students. "The amount of money available for our work-study program has gone down at the same time tuition has raised," Murray said. Murray said she estimated 500 to 600 students have work-study jobs this year, which is approximately 25 fewer jobs than last year.

A year-and-a-half-long birthday party for the city of Bellingham began Sunday with a celebration at the Whatcom Museum of History and Art in honor of Bellingham's 100th birthday.
