Harriet Spanel said they agree that ^ involving Western students in national elections, and local elections is an important way of contributing to the community. As Election Day nears, many students will have the chance to participate in the community by voting for the next president of the country as well as the state senator of District 40. The district ^ begins at Lakeway Drive and extends to Mount Vernon, and includes Lake Whatcom and the San Juan Islands. "All levels of our democracy depend on the participation of a community, which includes Western students," Spanel said. I As community members, students have a chance to influence decisions that directly influence them, she said. "Students need to vote in their own community," Spanel said. "They are affected by what happens to them, and they also have the ability to change what happens." P Students need to show their support, participate in discussions and not feel embarrassed because they have different views, Baron said. "Students should get involved and register to vote, but they also need to get involved in campaigns, learn about the issues and understand that there are | values on both sides of it," Baron said. Baron is a lifetime Whatcom County resident and is president of Baron & Co., a marketing and public relations firm located in downtown Bellingham. He regularly works with Western students on research projects concerning marketing and public relations. ^ Baron's campaign issues focus on the legal reform of health care, job security and preserving farmland.

Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, speaks to an audience at Sehome High School about education, health care, workers' rights and the war in Iraq. By Timory Wilson The Western Front " An energetic crowd filled the bleachers in Sehome High School's gymnasium Saturday as Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, urged the audience to vote for the Democratic Party on Election Day. "This state is so critical because if you are able to provide the energy to guarantee that John Kerry is going to carry Washington, then the Kerry campaign can begin to focus on some of the other states, like Ohio," said Kucinich, a former Democratic presidential candidate. The topic of the forum was "What it means to be a Democrat." Kucinich addressed issues such as education, health care, worker's rights and the war in Iraq at the town hall forum. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., and state Rep. Mike Cooper also accompanied Kucinich to encourage people to vote. Kucinich is giving speeches throughout the United States promoting voting for the Kerry- Edwards campaign and other Democrats in the upcoming election, political civic activist Marian Beddill said. "This is the moment that we must decide that .we are going to step forward to reclaim our country," Kucinich said. "There are a lot of Americans who are'afraid that if they elect a new president, we are going to be unsafe. The truth is the only way we can ever be safe is to get rid of this administration." SEE Kucinich, PAGE 3 Professor wins award for slave-trade book By Jamie Badilla The Western Front Western history professor Alan Gallay said he has imagined himself as a historian or writer since age 4, and now he is the winner of a 2004 Washington State Book Award. His book, "The Indian Slave Trade: The Rise of the English Empire in the American South, 1670-1717," was one of 10 recipients of the award. Gallay also received the 2003 Bancroft award, the most prestigious award for American historians. Gallay said he wanted to reveal the role the Indian slave trade played in the establishment of the United States by providing financial assistance to the African slave trade. "It's one of the more important revisions of how we understand the origins of American slavery in the last generation of American historians," Western history department Chairman Christopher Friday said. After conducting research for 12 years prior to the completion of his book, Gallay said he learned to take pleasure in every small achievement. He said he sees writing as a means of personal communication with others. "The greatest reward is getting read because you feel like people are engaging SEE Gallay, PAGE 3 Transit initiative may increase tuition , By Timory Wilsoni The Western Front The Transit Fee Initiative Steering Committee, a group assessing the transit fee initiative, is making changes to a proposal that would give students alternative modes of transportation and increased bus " service next fall quarter. "The initiative is working towards making other forms of transportation more available and accessible for students going to and from campus," said Mark Hamilton, a Western senior and member of the committee. The committee is proposing a transit fee initiative that will give students a quarterly Viking Xpress bus pass, provide frequent bus routes in areas the Whatcom Transportation Authority is not servicing often and will make available a nighttime shuttle for Western students, said Seth Christian, a Western senior and member of the committee. Associated Students President Rachel Zommick said the transit fee is a suggestion right now and the AS board of directors will not make any official decisions about the proposal until the committee submits it to them. The transit fee would cost students $20 to $30 a quarter and would be included in tuition, but that is subject to change depending on how much it will cost for a nighttime shuttle and additional bus service, Christian said. "We want to make this an affordable program that students can get a lot out of for their money," Christian said. "Driving a car is $4,000 a year on average because of gas, maintenance and repairs. Chris Taylor/The Western Front That is $4,000 you could spend your money on Western students exit a bus at the Lincoln Creek Park and Ride; elsewhere. It is money in your pocket."
