Accent, Page 6 Western Washington University, Bellingham, Washington The Western Front 0*a* FRIDAY MAY 7, 2004 Woman attacked only three days after rally By Caleb Heeringa The Western Front An unidentified suspect assaulted a woman on Western's campus on Sunday, only three days after hundreds of Western women rallied to prevent violence against women in the annual Take Back the Night demonstration. According to a University Police press release, the attack happened at approximately 1:15 a.m. The suspect approached the woman from behind as she walked through the Fairhaven Tunnel near the new Communications Facility. The suspect grabbed her pants, tried to pull them down and grabbed her shirt, but the woman was able to escape and run to her off-campus apartment. David Doughty, assistant chief of Public Safety, said that although the crime appeared to be sexually motivated, it does not qualify as an attempted rape because officers cannot positively identify the suspect's intent when committing the crime. "By state law, we need evidence of the sexual intent of the crime, and there is not enough evidence here," Doughty said. "Unless there is contact with the breasts or genitals ... it cannot be classified as a sexual assault." Doughty said the attack appeared to be a one-time attack and not related to other recent incidences on or around campus. "(The attack) does not appear to be connected to (this fall's) prowlings," Doughty said. "The circumstances are completely"chffefen^in this crime"y& t ; According to the press.Xel&se, the suspect^M^& white male, approximately ^ y ^ T s old ajtd^S feet^.. inches to 5 feet 10 m c h e V t ^ ^ ^ r e p o r^ long-sleeved black sweatsdiirt; black pants,.and a black cap, possibly knit.. -p ' Doughty said UP has increased night, patrols in response to the attack. - : Western junior Holly Mattson, a Women's Center coordinator who helped organize the[TakeB&k^the Night demonstration^s^ctthai^ appointing the assatutotci^ed/ijshow^jhat sexual crimes are a constant problem. "It is very unfortunate that this happened ... but it is reality," Mattson said. "This happens more than people think ... This just proves that events like Take Back the Night are still needed." Sarah Rankin, case manager of the Crime and Sexual Assault Victims' Services, said the assault demonstrated that many women's fears of sexual assault are warranted. "This reaffirms, sadly, some of the fears that women have," Rankin said. "Some men don't understand where women are coming from, but this just goes to show that we are all potential victims." Anyone with information about the incident is encouraged to contact UP at 650-3555. Remembering Schmitt Tara Nelson/The Western Front Western cycling club member Bryan Grubbs, 33, of Bellingham, places a flower on the edge of the "Rain Forest" fountain to commemorate fellow teammate Gideon Schmitt during a university-sponsored memorial. On-campus memorial celebrates late student By Tara Nelson The Western Front Classmates, family and friends of Western junior Gideon Schmitt shared stories, tears and hugs as they gathered at a university-sponsored memorial service at the Wade King Student Recreation Center Thursday to honor Schmitt's life. Schmitt, a 21-year-old industrial technology major, died April 5 after falling four stories from his apartment balcony on the 900 block of High Street. Schmitt was active in Western's student chapter of the Society of Manufacturing Engineers and Western's cycling club, in addition to countless other endeavors, said Western senior Andrew Leese, Schmitt's cycling teammate. Immediately before the service, Western's cycling club led a commemorative "silence ride" across Western's campus beginning at the Viking Commons and ending outside the recreation center, where participants set white flowers on the edge of the newly constructed "Rain Forest" fountain. Western's cycling club co-president Ryan Rickerts spoke at the event. Rickerts, also an industrial design major, said the cycling team will wear black arm bands at all cycling events for the rest of the quarter. Schmitt's younger brother, Morgan Schmitt, who in earlier years accompanied SEE Memorial, PAGE 3 Undergrad tuition to increase 7 percent By Michael Murray The Western Front Western's board of trustees approved a tuition increase April 19 for the '04-'05 academic school year. The cost of higher education has increased for the third time in three years, but the increase will be lower than it could have been. Undergraduate tuition will increase by 7 percent — $227 more for residents and $840 more for nonresidents beginning in September 2004 and going through June 2005. Graduate tuition will increase by 3 percent — $142 more for residents and $459 more for nonresidents. "It's a lot better than it could have been," Associated Students president Paul Graves said. "The first number we heard out of the governor's office was 28 percent." Next year, Western's annual tuition for resident undergraduates will be $3,465. Tuition for resident undergraduates will be $4,566 at the University of Washington and $4,520 at Washington State University, board of trustees Chairwoman Betty Woods said. Some of the trustees' concerns were faculty salaries, high-quality faculty members and support services, student trustee graduate student Benjamin Casler said. "We added up everything to maintain the status quo and gave it to the Legislature," Casler said. "They didn't SEE Tuition, PAGE 4 Historian provides perspective on the history of food in culture Ben Arnold/The Western Front Food historian and author Felipe Fernandez- Armesto speaks with Western faculty Wednesday in the Viking Union Multipurpose room. He also spoke Thursday night in the PAC. By Anna Sowa The Western Front Food historian and author Felipe Fernandez-Armesto displayed a picture of Winnie the Pooh as a motif for his Thursday discussion titled "Fat: A Short Global History." "Winnie the Pooh is short, fat and proud of that," Fernandez-Armesto said. "As you can see, I have a great deal of practical knowledge in fat. Indeed, I seem to have absorbed it." The witty and self-deprecating intellectual spoke as part of Western's Distinguished Lecture Series at the Performing Arts Center, where he told the story of food's history and the evolution of high-fat diets, which came to dominate the developed world in the context of an obsession with thinness. "Even if you are a (Pooh) bear nowadays, it's hard to be fat," Fernandez-Armesto said. "We have come to demonize fat, and we go to further extremes than any other culture in the course of history to do it." Fernandez-Armesto said the modern obsession with thinness rims counter to human evolution.
