Thousands of displaced citizens were moved from New Orleans to Houston as New Orleans was evacuated. BY BORIS KURBANOV The Western Front Western is responding with concern to the plight of those affected by Hurricane Katrina by joining the nation in extending support for Gulf Coast-area victims. "Our hearts go out to the tens of thousands of people who have suffered such loss and devastation," President Karen Morse said in a letter on Sept. 6. "We want to contribute our support to this nationwide effort to help those affected by the hurricane and its aftermath." Hurricane Katrina struck Florida, Alabama and Mississippi before pummeling Louisiana, causing total loss of power, contamination drinking water, diminishing food supplies and flooding the streets of New Orleans. Water levels in New Orleans rose after sections of two levees collapsed, leaving 80 percent of the city underwater. According to a Sept. 19 article in Time Magazine, Katrina exposed serious problems in the response capability of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco and other local officials. On Sept. 13, President George W. Bush took responsibility for the delayed response to Katrina. See KATRINA, page 8 Residence halls cracking down on student drinking BY TOM KING The Western Front From the 3B Tavern on State Street to Boundary Bay Brewery & Bistro, Bellingham affords those who drink ample opportunity to get their party on. House and dorm parties are also a favorite of many residents and Western students, but may have undesirable consequences for underage students. Students often have parties in campus residence, including Nash, the "freshman" dorm, and Birnamwood, the off-main campus university apartments. If the party is pre-gaming for a night out downtown, or just' a birthday celebration among close friends, 'Once cited for drinking in the dorms, students are required to take a class from tKe Alcohol and Drug Consultation and Assessment Service.' consuming alcohol on university property can get students into trouble if they are not aware of the university's and state's policies related to alcohol.

For this reason, the Western Associated Students Bookstore is making in-store changes to increase efficiency for students and staff. Textbook costs leave a huge hole in the pockets of Western students. Waiting in a seemingly never-ending bookstore line makes the buying process even more dreadful. "They're going to take at least $200 of my money and make me wait in line for an hour to do it," Western sophomore Justin Parker said. "Employees are always friendly and helpful, but the wait makes me want to shop somewhere else." Toimprovetheoveralloperationofthebookstore, LaraMannASBookstoremanagerhas implemented *a few changes. First, she said, the store is moving to a new inventory managing system. The employees currently work with the Missouri Book System but will make the. switch to the Sequoia Retail System a change Mann is ecstatic about. "The changes for the 2005- 2006 school year will advance our technology, open doors for multiple-c o m p a n y m e r c h a n d i s e purchasing and get Western students through lines faster," Mann said- Currently, the Associated Students Bookstore LUKE HARRIS/The Western Front Anna Johnston, sin AS Bookstore employee talks on the phone Wednesday. uses a phone-line system to process credit cards at the register. Sequoia is an Internet connection and Mann estimates credit card transaction times will drop from 15 seconds down to 2 seconds. Cashier Steven Gowan cannot wait for the fall's new additions. Employed by the bookstore for more than two years, he hopes the new registers and updated computers will make textbook and merchandise buying easy and fun for Western students. "We're getting regular PC's, which makes this a unique and exciting change," Gowan said. "With faster registers, we'll spend two seconds with students and they'll be on their way." Another new feature for fall 2005 will be the online textbook exchange. Students will be able to log onto the Web site and see if other Western students are selling the books they want.
